Just thought of creating this thread for the new application cycle. So we can all support each other

I submitted my application 8/1 but didn’t finish my personal statement until 9/15.

I just got one too! Everyone check your email! 

I got one too! Excited. My anxiety level is through the roof now. 

I was looking at the sign up sheet and it seems like they are interviewing 16 per day x 8. So about 128. Accepting only 30. Pressure is definitely on

My apologies. This time around you did. That’s all that matters! Good luck on the interview.

Anyone hearing anything about how their interviews go?

Nathan,

Ours were online, this is the first year since COVID they will be back in person. Last year they were personal situational questions. Nothing clinical when I did mine. They are super super brief.  Nothing I could have studied for. Even doing a mock interview would not have helped me personally. Just take your time and think about your answers even if it seems rushed. The program people might seem intense but they are super nice. Look professional and be yourself. Don’t freak out if it felt like it went awful because I definitely didn’t think I got in when mine was over but I did. Also we had some wait list people get in too so don’t be discouraged. It seems so intimidating but you can do this! We had 400 applicants last year, 100 interviews, 30 seats. If I can do it, you can do it!
