Boston interview delayed because of the snow

@Capable‌ My child went through a few years ago. There was nothing unusual then, a student interview and a faculty interview, each only about 30 minutes. Be prepared for ‘tell me about yourself’ and ‘why medicine?’ and ask good questions about the school and opportunities available. Make sure you get the information you’ll need to make a decision if you get multiple acceptances. The best advice is to be yourself and see if it’s a good fit.

@IfoundNemo‌ thanks,

@Lucky139‌

When was your Boston interview scheduled for and how did they contact you about rescheduling it (email or phone call)? I have my interview coming up too and I really hope that it doesn’t have to be rescheduled.

Did you go early decision and can I ask you what was your stats. I am applying to , but not early decision. It is really my first choice school. I can t go early due to the money.

@GoodDoctor‌ Congratulations! When did your son submit his application?

@Lucky139 @starwatch @hopefulbsmd Do you have research experience?

@HS2DirectMed‌
Yes, I have research experience (published papers, presented at conferences, etc.)

got my RPI Interview notification on Friday as well as a reject from NEOMED (OOS)
everyday is a rollercoaster

@llojps‌
Welcome to CC! Congrats on the RPI interview. do you have any other interviews coming up?

@starwatch‌ just VCU and RPI

so many ups and downs in this process! its okay


did anyone get an interview for neomed for out of state? anyone? just really curious! seems like a really hard program for out of state kids! Thanks! :slight_smile:

One of my friends got rejection from NEOMED/Akron today. In state.

My other friend got interviews today from Akron and Kent for NEOMED, and rejected from Youngstown State. 30 ACT, top 10% of class, no research, decent amount of shadowing. In state.

Do they accept out of state usually? like i know someone got an interview for youngstown (oos) but is it worth going? like ik they accept 35 people total but how many oos?

Thanks for answering @lax1997!

They told us at an info session that they enrolled 3 OOS students last year and 100 In state. However, other people have posted that it was 4 OOS and 99 In state. That isn’t very many OOS.

@lax1997 wow! how many oos do they interview if they accept 4. wait enrolled 3 oos?could that mean they accept more but a few go? 

so they prob accept ONE OOS per a school? OMG that seems brutal lol

Does anyone know when temple/dusquesne is supposed to contact us for the second interview?

@yonkers12 My son submitted his application to Northwester a couple of days before it was due, sometime during the last week of December.
