I'm not usually the type to forage through online forums, but what can I say - grad school apps are stressing me out! This should get the ball rolling...

I guess I'm getting a bit more anxious now... Does anyone know how they are relaying the invitations for the interviews? Could it be by the applicant's last name?

I was in the chatroom yesterday. The moderator said the faculty has their own system of reviewing applications.

Well, I am not sure it is true. They went by points system, so they would pick those with highest points in the group for interviews. The faculties would assign points after the interview for each individual. In the end, they would rank everyone according to the total points from the interviews, other personal academic records, PS and TEAS. When I interviewed, there were 7 interview groups ranging from 8 to 14 people in each group. If you have more questions, I am happy to answer. I am not sure how often I check here since I have 3 exams and 2 quiz next week. LOL I am supposed to be studying now. oh well!

Hi everyone! I received a call yesterday about an interview and since I'm from southern California I scheduled it for Feb. 13th! Does anyone else have that interview date? It would be nice to hear back from someone that does since I'm not from the area. Thank you in advance! Good Luck!!

ps. @scoobywong, my last name starts with a T and I got my call yesterday so I am not sure if it is alphabetical! It might be just random. Good luck!

@alyssag24 I would love to help you by answering any questions! What do you mean by stats though? TEAS scores and GPA?

Ya like undergrad gpa, last 60 units gpa, teas score, and any volunteer work.

Up Vote Up Vote ×

Undergrad GPA: 3.3

last 60 units GPA: 3.72

Prereq GPA: 3.87

TEAS: 94%

I did volunteer at a medical center but did not do enough hours for a letter from them so I did not include it with my application. I hope that helps.

Thanks so much! Your stats are very similar to mine, except my undergrad gpa was not very good! But my prerequisite gpa was a 4.0 and my last 60 units is a 3.75. My TEAS was a 93% so hopefully I will get an interview as well!
