thank you so much! WOW!! this school is SUPER holisitic because my undergrad GPA is 2.97 (but my personal statement is very strong and one of my letters if from a NP) so I THOUGHT I had no shot..the fact I was offered an interview makes me happy. I think I'm gonna call in too LOL.

You're welcome. Yeah, I think so. I had a strong personal statement as well and both references were from physicians I've been working for. So I think that helped. Yeah, I'm definitely calling in. I'm already nervous as is.

also when I was picking interview dates, there was a whole week open and available. I picked Monday morning cause wanted to rip the band aid and in my head I think its always better me to go first so less to be compared to haha. I'm sure you'll so fine. I just want it to be over with already.

Interviews have been going on since the 1st or 2nd of March I believe. There was only one time slot available for me when I received the email to schedule my interview so I just took it.

I didn’t see that, but kinda anticipated it honestly.

Yes, they said they can either choose fall 2020 or choose to defer to 2021. So hopefully that just means a bigger fall 2020 cohort and not less seats available to prospective students.

@iamshayla yeah my interview was pretty straight forward, basic questions like mentioned above and then she asked me some specifics on my resume. Lasted about 30min. She was very nice. My interviewer didn’t have her camera on so I couldn’t see her but she could see me.

was your interviewer debra? I hope mines camera is off LOL

You too!! I’m sure you will do great. My questions were more direct. Pretty straight forward standard interview questions. She went through my resume and asked me a few questions about some of my experiences. No curveballs for me at least! That was my first time doing zoom interview so I was nervous about that but once we figured that out it was fine. She made me feel a lot less nervous once we started.
