Hi everyone! I didn't see a thread for this year's applications, so I thought I would start one. Hoping for a good application cycle for all of us!! 

Mine cut off when an instuctor was answering a question... bummed

How many interviewers were there?

How many questions?

and how did you perform?  Where able to do a last couple minute statement in time before it ended?

2 interviewers (1 professor & 1 first year didactic student)

probably 5 questions (only 1 clinical question for me)

I think I did alright but thats only bc I was only able to answer the clinical question half right, I told them I would need to review further to provide a better detailed answer before giving a confident answer. All the other questions I think I gave thoughtful and honest answers to.

Ooof I got like half and half EI and clinical..I'm not gonna lie I was a bit stuttery and not very fluid with the clinical portion of questions may have also answered completely wrong lmao..how did everyone else feel?

like you didn't even get to the part where you could ask questions? They were still asking you questions?

At least yours didn't start with your dogs barking like crazy people and didn't have to call your husband to come get them 😑

Does anyone have insight as to how the hybrid program works? Do you need to live in Tucson? This info isn't super clear on the website. Thanks

I actually asked this in my interview today! They said you're never required to move there but most students, if they do decide to, move after the first 18 months of didactic when clinicals start. They said about 50% of students do end up moving 

Now that everyone is done interviewing, how is everyone feeling?!

Mixed emotions.  Relieved!! Still stress and nervous!!   I had 2 professors and 1 student. Felt like I answered all the questions. And finished on time wit my 3 seconds left.  Enough to say nice to meet you and thank you.  But didn't get to ask them questions.  Don't know if that's good or bad.    However still having doubts.   What questions did you get ?  And was one of the questions was.  What would you do if you don't get in?
