No they had copies printed they were writing on.

Congrats y’all!! Are they asking y’all to put a deposit down for your spots by a certain time?

Not sure how long it was because I got there early but I think they took me straight back. So most likely close to 30-40 min. We kinda started with the 'tell me about yourself' intro. I have another science degree so a lot of it was resume reviewal at first. But eventually they went DEEP into some physiology stuff on ESLD patients. I knew some of it but other things I had to admit I wasn't sure because it wasn't something we monitored or seemed to be a routine part of patient care. It was very challenging but I appreciated it so much. I love going head-long into some clinical questions that could go either way. I just hope not having the answer won't hurt my chances. They really asked some heady stuff! It made me excited for the chance to learn these things in school since the faculty seem so knowledgeable.

I saw they were doing like two interviews at a time. I had the director and assistant director plus another professor. Other room looked like it was the clinical site professor and two other educational professors. But they were all CRNAs and not the other science faculty. Which makes sense when asking about clinical things. What kind of EI questions did they ask y’all? We never talked about it at all.

How was it!!?

Interview today was great. I showed up a little early just because I was nervous about being late even had a nightmare about it last night LOL. But it was beneficial to show up early because they had some of their current students in the sim lab answering questions and just chatting with people. It made me feel a lot less nervous to be around other students before the interview. The interview itself wasn’t too bad. They definitely give you the option to drive the interview but will ask follow up questions. I think it’s been posted before but be prepared if you’re going to talk about a type of patient population you take care of that they’re going to ask progressively more difficult physiology questions until you feel backed into a corner. But one of the other students told me they just really want you to say you finally don’t know some thing instead of trying to make up an answer. They were very friendly all around and ask some personal questions about why you chose this field and how you have financially prepared. They did a pretty heavy review of my résumé and asked a little questions here and there about my experiences. All of them were very nice and made me feel less nervous than some zoom interviews I’ve had. How did everyone else feel about their interviews? They told me they will be interviewing out through the 26th and then they will start sending out acceptances.

Looks like that one little group got in and that’s it. Wonder what’s coming next! Maybe this Friday we’ll hear more.

11am! Gunna drive in and stay the night before hand to get ready. Coming from Texas

Thanks for the response after getting in! Hanging on the hook is killing us all I’m sure. Especially after watching others get in. A bit of FOMO. But it’s so hard to anticipate their next move. Appreciate your insight! Things are seemed sporadic right now.

They 100% have not finished making their decisions. I’ve been tracking this all very closely LOL. They have lots of interviews to go and possible IT issues to contend with. My one question is what the strategy is with adding on more interviews? Could be positive or negative. It seems, classically they do interviews and acceptances later into the year. So we might be overzealous wanting answers now when they are also gearing up for the fall semester. Keeping positive until formally rejected ?

Any more calls of acceptance this Friday like last Friday? Or are we all still waiting?

Ooooooh I wonder if they prolonged interview days because there were issues like yours?

Yea no calls here. I interviewed 7/19 and no calls to my friend who interviewed 8/4.

You’re not gunna faint you’ll be fine! I def Like FranU but I’ll be happy anywhere I get in. Where else did you apply?

Me too but I think they only called a handful of people on Friday to offer spots. They obviously have more people to interview from what we're hearing so I wouldn't get too down. I believe they'll call more people this week.
