Hi I have my interview this week! What was the interview process like? ? 

Super laid back over zoom! They will give you questions 24hrs before the interview, so I would suggest writing out what you would say. Make yourself stand out and really brag about yourself haha, thats what they wanna see. I wore a sweater but some people were wearing blazers and nice tops.

can anyone who was accepted after the interview say how long it took for them to hear back?

Thank you, hopefully you'll hear back soon! I was on the waitlist for FACT-1 but then opted for FACT-2 when I heard 1 was at capacity. I was on the waitlist for about a week for 2 and then got my acceptance on Friday.

Hi All! I applied to the Fact-1 12 month program that starts in May back in January and had an interview! Unfortunately, I took the wrong Chemistry and couldn’t follow thru.

At the time, I was still completing prerequisites. I already finished micro (B), AP I (B), Physiological Chem—wrong one, but (B+). Then I had an awful professor and received a D in AP II and C in nutrition. Bad semester. Retook AP immediately over the Summer— now an A. Retaking Nutrition now and enrolled in the correct Chemistry. And retaking statistics because I took it literally 9 years ago LOL. Refresher. Waiting until all materials are graded in December to submit my application again. Extremely worried I won’t get in/an interview this time solely because of that damn AP II retake AND  Nutrition. I mean I did very well second time around with AP 2, but I feel like retaking two courses will be an immediate “no.” Or red flag for them. The admissions counselor there is great! She said she always encourages students to retake for better grades if they can. Anyone else like this? Thoughts? Looking for the May, 2022 12-month track. Also— (A) in developmental psychology, which helps ?. Undergrad GPA is 3.0. Current science prerequisite is 3.24.
