<p>^Hey me too I also have my first interview tomorrow. I seriously doubt we've been weeded out because they probably got to our applications last or something.</p>
<p>can someone who got accepted to the program maybe give me an idea if I have a chance of getting into the GPPA Medicine program?
ACT: 31
Class Rank 3/489
GPA UW: 5.0/5.0
GPA Weighted: 5.825
Have Taken/Am Taking 8 AP Classes
E.C. Hospital Volunteer for two years, senior mentor for freshman, treasurer for International Club, Fundraising For School's World Relief Club, Yearbook, etc</p>
<p>I really want to get into this program so are there any helpful tips? I'm wondering if I meet the standards to actually get in?</p>
<p>they said they were interviewing through late march so i wouldnt worry if you are just having your 1st one</p>
<p>please please please
give us any idea as to what questions are asked by the interviewer, and what's with the group interview??? we have to get interviewed in front of a group???!!!??
and what sort of essay question was it??
dont tell me exactly, but an idea would be nice........</p>
<p>thanks so much!!!</p>
<p>p.s.
my stats were nothing like what some of the people posted, but since i got an interview call, does that mean that they wont look at stats anymore??</p>
<p>thanks again!!
if you could reply fast, that would be great, 'cause my interview is tomorrow...</p>
<p>sparrow--are you talking about first interview or second one?
first interview is half an hour, and they focus on what you did during high school. not group, just one on one. </p>
<p>i havent been to the second interview yet, so idk. can anyone give basics about second interview? (how long is it, grilling or laid-back, etc.?)</p>
<p>and no, they always reconsider your stats before making <em>any</em> decision</p>
<p>Oh, thanks so much, shatender! Esp. since you replied so fast, I was getting worried....and yeah, I was asking about the first one :)</p>
<p>I went back and read my message and it sounds sort of pathetic.......
I'm just really psyched........... I'm not much of a talker, so I'm really gonna have to push myself.</p>
<p>Plus, so many people look sooo much better with all that they have done, so I'm thinking I may have to resort primarily to charm in the interview, which, as mentioned before, I lack.....</p>
<p>Anyway, may the best man win. Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Again guys, I'm not trying to be bitter. But, lets refrain from talking about the specific format of the interviews.</p>
<p>They are structured in a manner to see your measure your reactions, etc. So telling others only inhibits their response to interview.</p>
<p>i agree with xcrunner</p>
<p>Same. Best of luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I have a question for all those who have already had their interviews. Approximately how long were you guys at UIC for them? I'm trying to see if I will end up missing the entire day of school or just a few hours. Thanks!</p>
<p>Mine was around an hour.</p>
<p>to those of you who got a call for a 2nd interview: what programs did u apply for?</p>

<p>phew..i got a second interview call today (during a biology test but thats ok cuz my teacher let me pick up haha). I didn't think i would =P. Does anyone know the numbers? like how many people are offered a 2nd interview and out of those how many are admitted?</p>
<p>good luck to everyone else who got a call today too.</p>
<p>According to the lady at the 2nd interview, 60 interviews for 35-40 spots.</p>
<p>Wait so 60 ppl were called for the second interview out of how many???</p>
<p>...Maybe a 100? Don't take my word, that's just an estimate I heard from somewhere.</p>
<p>its not 100. not even close. </p>
<p>between 300 - 400 people apply. This year closer to 400.</p>
<p>Hey did any of you guys have your first interview on February 16?? and were you in the green group??</p>
<p>@lilshamz:</p>
<p>That's what I was told. 400 applied, 60 came back for the second interview, 35-40 are being selected. They're hoping around 25 commit.</p>
