How long are the interviews? Is is really 11am-4pm? One email says the interview is at 1pm after the student and admission panel, so is there something after the interview?
 
How was your interview? Did they question anything?
no interview. Post secondary R. 506 mcat, 3.5 masters but low undergrad gpa which is what ruined it for me I think. Sad bc I really liked the rural focus.

Interview their tomorrow. Did they ask any personal questions about you or your application? Also, did they branch off of your responses with secondary questions or did they just let you respond and go to the next question?

From my experience last year, they can branch away if they choose but they have certain questions they want to ask to everyone. They did reference my application a handful of times

They asked some baseline questions and really formed them around what was said in your application. If they found something interesting you wrote about, they would ask you for more information about it. they would sometimes branch off and ask more questions but as long as you were pretty detailed they would be happy with your answer.

Would going to the open house in person help my chances at this school? I’m OOS
 
Is there a groupme that anyone created for 2024 prospective/admitted students?
 
Hey guys, do they send secondaries to everyone? I just got the secondary but I am way below average for their mcat, so is it worth sending?

As long as you meet the screen, you will get a 2°
 
Quick tip: if you are serious about attending this school and would like to know more about it— go to the fireside chat.

I didn’t get my II until after I attended a couple of them. It shows interest.
What is it like? I have not used this platform before and I am attending the fire chat session tomorrow
 
For people who already interviewed online: how long should I expect the 1-on-1 interview to take? Thank you!

Interviewed on 9/28 and got the A today. Mine was with two interviewers and they asked 6-10 questions and they were all pretty straightforward questions. I'd say in total the actual interview portion took no more than 20-30 minutes. Very conversational as everyone has previously said and I'd say just know what you put on your application and the general medical school interview questions. After that, I had about an hour and a half to do whatever I wanted at home and logged back on to talk with some faculty and students for about an hour to an hour and a half. So from I logged on at 8:15 and was completely done with interview day just before 1pm. Don't be afraid to reach out with any other questions!
