Just talked to a current student in the program and she said they might have another round of interviews but it's highly unlikely.

Instate student in the med route. Still haven't heard and I'm FREAKING out. This was my dream. I called this morning (4-20-18) and they said that my application is still under review and that if I didn't qualify or a decision was made, she could tell me. Mine is still under review...... Hoping for a miracle at this point.
Which number did you call?

So do you guys think all the interviews have been sent out already? I live pretty close to NOVA and haven't received anything rejection wise in the mail either.

I feel like if they were really done with interviews they would reject everyone by now. I gave a call last week and I'm still "under review". I tried to ask about another round of interviews (knowing they can't really give me an answer) but the representative told me to keep holding on/ waiting..they might be thinking about how to proceed next but regardless, I and the rest of you should still stay somewhat hopeful. The only individuals holding the true answers are apart of the admissions committee.

I’m dying to know what’s going to happen. Patiently but anxiously waiting. Last year they sent out 3 batches of interviews on April 6th, April 10th, April 24th. So far, only 2 have been sent for this cycle on April 9th, 12th. Given that last year the last interview day was May 12th and this year the last interview day is May 16th, I’d say there’s a good chance another round will be sent out before Friday.

So I just interviewed and I was talking to the person in charge of our group and I asked him if they were still sending out interview invitations and he said that no more batches of interviews were going to go out, but they are still calling some ppl because a few students that got interview invites withdraw their invitation due to acceptances somewhere else so they have to fill out those spots.
Total of applicants this year were 612 and 80 were invited for an interview.
I wish luck to all of you, you might still receive that email ;)

I think it's best we just not speculate. The more we do, the more we spook ourselves out. It's not a rejection until we have the physical letter in our hands. Let's just all hope for the best.

How was your interview? Was it mostly casual and any difficult questions?
 
Did anyone got rejection letter or email please?
 
oops should have specified. The time as in am and pm. If interviews begin 830am what time do they actually end?:)
You get there earlier than 8:30 and they will speak to you about the program and stuff like that, then you will go on a tour with the current mbs students and speak to them, and then they will call one by one to go interview, depending if you are the first one or last one to go in but more or less you will be done around 12

Has anyone received a rejection? Or called the number and told they were rejected?
Nope, but at this point I'm just waiting for one to come. I don't understand why rejection letters weren't sent out the week of interviews, it's very nerve wrecking
 
Guys, they are still sending out interviews. I just received an invitation for an interview.

Hey there:) I was wondering during the 830-1200 interview timing you or anyone else took a break to eat lunch or snack etc? Just wanted to plan if I should bring my lunch there.

For my interview I just took a granola bar just in case, but didn’t end up eating it and grabbed lunch afterwards.
 
Would wearing a suit be too much? I want to look for professional
 
Is the last interview date still May 16th now that more interview invitations have been sent out ?

You should absolutely wear a suit- I would go so far as to say it's expected unless it's not feasible for you (e.g. if you don't own one, can't afford one, etc.) which I'm sure they would understand.

Yes, they called my house first but I wasn’t home. Then I got the email. Then I got another call on my cell around 4:30.
 
Do you know if there is a fb group for accepted students?

I’m not sure. I don’t have a Facebook so I haven’t looked. But If not, I’m sure they’ll make one very soon.
