Wondering if people applying to programs still use this forum.... 

I will be applying this cycle, looking for others that are too ?

I’m interviewing this afternoon and I feel like no amount of studying is enough ? I hope I’m ready LOL good luck everyone!

Good luck to everyone interviewing today!

Good luck to the rest of you interviewing! Just finished mine this morning. Relax guys, I honestly think I overstudied. I was so nervous but they were pretty nice and welcoming. Only one clinical scenario.

Guys I completely messed up already & missed the afternoon information session because I failed to realize the time difference. So I am really upset & feel that they will not even consider me anymore. I honestly can’t believe I did that! Nerves already got me.

Oh no! ? explain your situation. Do your interview anyways. Don’t give it up!

I plan to, but I will not be surprised if I don’t get an offer. I just can’t believe I did that ?‍?

At the end of your interview, tell them you feel the need to apologize for missing the information session. I do believe attending it is a PLUS but it is not the greatest requirement as part of the process. The interview is what counts!! Don't overthink it/beat yourself up for it. Focus on redeeming yourself in the interview. They know we are human. Good luck!

I second that! It went way better than expected, I definitely overstudied and overstressed! They could tell I was nervous and I felt a little rushed. They want to get to know you in the little time they have! Seriously be yourself and the scenario that was brought up to me was very basic. Just read it carefully. Good luck everyone!
They said I would hear back in the next week or two.

Finished my interview! They were really nice but I was still SO nervous. I really let it get to me. My interview was literally 10 minutes long. IDK how they decide based off of that. But anyway, thanks guys for making me feel better.

I thought it was just me. I felt like I was in a hurry to answer my questions. They had to cut me off once. I believe we could answer all those questions perfectly without the time limit. Hope to see you guys in person.

Don’t worry about the time. Mine was literally 12 minutes from when they started the video to when I logged out. I speak really fast so I finished all the questions really quick, I think they started making up questions on the spot. Don’t know if that’s good or bad LOL. I’ve heard it’s really based on your stats ??‍♀️

Had my interview this morning and it lasted the 15 minutes. The time goes by so fast. I hope we all impressed them in the little time we had.  Now for the most exciting part.  The wait……

I had my interview this morning! Hope everyone else’s went well. Do you guys remember when they said we would hear back by?
