Thread for BSMD Applicants 2019

@screenshot major is Spanish. You can choose Spanish, Chinese, Engineering w Albany.

@MaMaTEN Thanks. I am also wondering what majors you need for Purchase. Hopefully someone will reply.

@MaMaTEN What was the interview format at Upstate? Any interview at Albany?

@screenshot W Purchase you need to be “fine arts”. UPstate was MMI. We did not interview w Albany undergrad - it was a direct feed to Upstate for interview

@GoldenStateDad Thank you for the response.D has taken casper for rpi/amc and she is familiar with the format.Ethical scenarios are the ones which needs to be very careful while responding the questions as far as I understood.Correct me if I am ignorant.

Thanks for sharing the info. My daughter has VCU interview on 13th.

Does anyone have any idea about South Alabama EAP program?

Got rejected from GW

@bsmdalien @GoldenStateDad
UAB told us the earliest we would probably hear from them was February 7th, but possibly the 8th. Is it possible they could release it earlier? That would definitely be a relief…

Can anyone provide insights on UConn SPiM interview format and any suggestions to prepare ?

@MaMaTEN Thanks for the feedback. I didn’t see it on Purchase website that undergrad has to be in Fine Arts only.

Hi everyone. Long time lurker. Just wanted to you know that HPME invites have started to come out. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear back!

@screenshot I was considered for the Purchase program but majored in biology.

@pun2018 Thanks. Do you mean to say that you choose Biology major at Purchase and got the interview at Purchase and Upstate? Also, have you heard back on the decision? Good luck and thanks again.

Release Dates of previous years - I believe the post was by @goldenrock

@pun2018 & others

Interviews give perspective on softer skills of candidates - beyond the application.

How is the candidate as a person? What is the motivation for medicine?
His/her Communications skills? Analytical skills in unstructured or spontaneous setting? Ability to resolve dilemmas?

As I had written in my blog / post, interviews are focused on acceptances - not on rejections.

Does anyone know when do HPME invites sent out what day of week and also for Pitt GAP program…

@GoldenRock had posted this - post#1421

——————————

Here is the date acceptance notification came for the 2016 cycle. Suggest some one in this cycle should prepare 2 lits. First capture the date whenever interview notification comes out with any notes (single blast or rolling notifications, feeder school interview notifications and dates etc). During 2016 cycle I did not realize and seeing in subsequent cycle every one keep asking the same. So help others for future cycle.

Here is the final posting. Did not get any details from any one who got or rejected from Rice/Baylor interview. But 2 folks notified me with 2 different dates. Lazy to update the number sequence due to late info on St.Bonaventure. But the list is in chronological order.

@sajju786
HPME sends out invites in batches.
Someone just posted that they had started mailing them.

@NoviceDad thanks would you know what day of the week and typically how many are invited for an interview…
