<p>@texaspg 15 each</p>
<p>@saxplayer123 Exactly right. Siena actually took 18 last year, so there is some leniency, but it is not a guarantee.</p>
<p>Union told us it aims for 20 each year, by accepting nearly 30-35.</p>
<p>did anyone have their vcu gmed interview yet? if so, how’d it go?</p>
<p>@thebombingrange your greatly mislead. its not all about numbers or how many apply and how many interview. its not all about grades. different programs look for different things sorry to say but you cant have everything every program wants, that would make you a superhuman. you have certain qualities and aspects that appeal to some programs but not to others. But hey thats life, you’ll end up wherever YOU belong. you’ll end up in a place that you fit and that fits you</p>
<p>I was using the interview numbers as an example. I completely understand about what programs look for. I applied to Siena/AMC because I’m HUGE on volunteering, but I avoided RPI because I have no research whatsoever. I am just saying that there is a discrepancy there between the programs that I didn’t expect to hear from and those that I did. I would have much rather interviewed with UConn than with GW, because I just prefer that program. When I went to GW and talked with the guy who is the final decision maker about who gets an interview, he said that they were just looking for a well rounded person. UConn may have been different. The thing is, they didn’t make any sort of special focus apparent, and thus, I am curious as to what they were looking for. Getting interviews at every program is impossible, but I just wish it would be at teh programs that we actually care about…</p>
<p>Does anyone know if Baylor 2 Baylor sent out rejection emails as well? :/</p>
<p>Can someone who did their interview at NJMS, share some of the interview questions? Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>It was more of a conversation, but just the usual doctor questions. Nothing difficult at all. Which school are you going through?</p>
<p>@TheBombingRange, thanks for the response. The interview is through TCNJ.
But I am not sure what sort of general questions will take up an hour which is allocated for the interview. Did your interview last for an hour? What was your experience about the interview like? Do you know when they will send out decisions?</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
<p>I was definitely there for at least an hour. Decisions go out for April 1st because they are pulling from many different undergrads. I had a great interview experience, I was basically chatting with a professor who had been there since 1954, about the change to Rutgers, Newark, the hospital, and various other things like transportation in and around NYC. It was just a very nice conversation and I really feel good about it. If you have interviewed before, this will be easy.</p>
<p>@thebombingrange I know what you mean. But I truly believe you’ll end up where you belong and with your stats you’ll succeed anywhere. Maybe uconn just wasn’t meant to be. I had applied to other programs I wanted and never considered uconn an option. I hated the other schools and now uconn is my number 1, I absolutely loved it. It all works out in the end</p>
<p>Let’s hope so. Where else did you apply?</p>
<p>Thanks TheBombingRange, that is comforting!</p>

<p>Just wondering guys, how much does an interview actually count? I know that it’s great if you get an interview, because it means you got qualified as finalists and have to compete amongst a lower competition pool, but exactly how much is this interview weighted in the end? Is it like other ivy leagues, where the interview counts somewhat, but at the end of the day the admissions officers really look at all your academics and essays and that’s what makes the most impact at the very end? Or is it like they’ve already reviewed all the stuff like that, and now your personality is what gets you through?</p>
<p>The interview is a crucial
Part of the programs. If you interview wry poorly they will most likely not accept you. The interview is how they see what kind of person you are, how you interact with people, how you answer questions under pressure, how well rounded you are. They don’t want awkward people who can’t talk and who can’t answer questions. They want people who they see are mature, professional, articulate, and can speak to others well. After all you can’t be a good doctor if you don’t know how to talk to people</p>
<p>Yea but if you do ok…? What impact does the interview then have?</p>
<p>Depends on the program I guess</p>
<p>But interviews are weighed pretty heavily at all programs</p>
