<p>Recived my email saying that I qualified for an interview today</p>
<p>I got the interview. Around how many get an interview and how many spots are given?</p>
<p>Does anyone know whether they notify interviewees at the same time? or is it in batches?
Also, do they inform you if you’re rejected?</p>
<p>@l4dygaga and Novaray: Did you guys get scheduled for January interviews?</p>
<p>Interviews come in batches through the end of January. I believe they indirectly inform you of your rejction by accepting you to Penn State. I’m pretty sure most of us got the Feb 8 interview, I’m not sure about other days though.</p>
<p>i don’t remember exactly how many were there last year, but i believe that they offer admission to 50-60% of people they interview</p>

<p>post on the BS/MD interview notification thread!</p>
<p>Can someone link me to the BS/MD interview notification thread? Also how many people have heard back or haven’t heard back yet?</p>
<p>I got into the Eberly college of science at Penn State.
I got a letter in the mail… but does this mean no interview for the BS/MD program?
Or do interview notifications come out separately.
My online account says… we will notify you of your decision in a few days.</p>
<p>smartdude does your status still say that penn state will update you by late january?</p>
<p>@smartdude101</p>
<p>read my post (#79) on the Interview Notification thread.</p>

<p>My S Status changed to"We will be notifying Jefferson Medical College of your candidacy, and they will be in contact with you regarding an interview at Jefferson. If you are not selected for this specific program within the Eberly College of Science, you will be considered for general admission to the Eberly College of Science instead."
Does this means he will be receiving an interview call shortly?</p>
<p>Does anyone know how big of a factor ethnicity or diversity plays in admissions?</p>
