<p>Please tell me where the upitt guaranteed program interviews start? Like where should I meet the interviewers? at the med school? and what time are the interviews and what is the structure?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>didnt you get a letter stating the answers to your questions?</p>
<p>i only got a letter with the date confirmation i believe, i am searching now...any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>I think it was like 9 somewhere in scaife hall. I forget the room #, but if I look at it inbetween now and monday (when my interview is) i'll let you know.</p>
<p>when is your interview anyways?</p>
<p>lol I found the letter!! 518 scaife hall for anyone else who is wondering and thanks for being willing to help evilbooyaa</p>
<p>they didn't tell us the exact time did they? just sometime between 10 and 12</p>
<p>how'd ur interview go evilbooyaa? what kinds of questions did they ask? was it intimidating?</p>
<p>pitt interview was as easy as the drexel interview was hard. (meaning it was very relaxed and overall easy)</p>
<p>senior0007 - you find out what time your interview is on the day of your interview, when you turn in your CV and photograph.</p>
<p>my interviewer was a nice lady named Franki Williams, director of diversity affairs for the med school.</p>
<p>she asked me how I had fun. then we talked about the things I do for fun, including watching south park and family guy. then, we talked about those two shows for a bit before she told me about students who say that they don't know how to have fun. we talked about how bad that is, and the sub-20 minute interview was over.</p>
<p>really speaking, more of a conversation, and it seems like it's going to be a crap shoot to see who gets in.</p>
<p>This is my #1 choice, so i'm realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly hoping to get in. and no, the interview wasn't intimidating, quite informal for me actually.</p>
<p>lol - sounds weird; did they even ask why medicine?</p>
<p>no. I was really shocked</p>
<p>evilbooyaa were you at 10:40 or do you have a sister that goes to upitt?</p>
<p>I was at 10:00, and I don't have a sister. I have a brother who is in mech engineering at pitt right now.</p>
<p>I had the same experience as you Evilbooyaa. Thanks for your help and good luck!</p>
<p>yea, no problem dude. good luck to ya</p>
<p>Do you have any idea how many people they are interviewing? </p>
<p>Since people from around the country are flying in for this program, I imagine the competition is intense; and since the interview is so short and they don't even ask the major questions, does the adcom pretty much base the decision on the CV?</p>
<p>I had a good feeling from my interview; but I imagine most people do also with those types of questions. I'm curious to see how the candidates are chosen.</p>
<p>I think 100 people get interviews, 10-ish are accepted into the program. I'm not exactly sure what they base it on, but the CV is definitely important.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard back yet? </p>
<p>By the way, my interview was also really relaxed. The "why medicine" question did come up, but after a minute or so the conversation drifted away towards something else. I was, like you guys mentioned, asked "what do you do for fun"...again, pretty low key. </p>
<p>The interviewer and I talked about these books she and I both had read on neurological disorders, which was pretty cool, though I was surprised she didn't have much of a medical background.</p>
<p>By the way, I was under the impression that the person that interviewed me didn't sit in on/have much of a say on the final decisions for who's chosen, so it does sound like it'll come down to the CV: I'm glad I spent a lot of time on mine.</p>
<p>I just called pitt med school cause I was wondering what the hell was going on, and they said they were going to mail out decisions by monday.</p>
<p>Thanks for the update. Knowing that they probably already made the decision is nerveracking.</p>
<p>i got in!</p>
<p>now i only have 2 weeks to make the most important decision in my life: ivy vs med. :(</p>
