Congrats on your interview, what a huge accomplishment! I have heard from several people currently in the program that they focus more on critical thinking skills, not only knowing the answer to clinical questions but how you got to that answer. Also I was told to really represent yourself confidently, but humble! Best of luck to you, I'm sure you'll do well 😊

Hi! I also had a question about interview day. Are we supposed to get to campus that morning when the day starts or are we supposed to arrive at our individual interview time?

Thanks for your help and good luck to everyone!!

I made a 23 as well! I'm also wondering that @ruby16 

Did anyone go to their interview today? If so how did it go? Any tips? Suggestions?

Does every one's email that was sent confirming their interview state the date and then 7:20 am as the time? When I go to the UTC calendar and click My Events it shows the different time slot I selected, but the confirmation email has the correct date but a different time listed. This is the confirmation email that also contained the link to the HSRT. I wanted to check before I sent an email to confirm my time on the events page is the correct time. Thanks guys and good luck!!
