Penn State Interview Invite

I now also have an interview scheduled for Penn State, which is in Hershey, PA. I'll be traveling there to interview on 9/29. My interview day will go from 10:30am-4:15pm and will include interviews, a lunch, and a tour.

Case Interview Invite

I just received an invitation from Case Western to come for an interview. My interview with them is scheduled for October 6. Their interview format includes a 45 minute interview with a faculty member and a 30 minute interview with a student. Also included in their planned day is a tour, a Q&A panel and information sessions. Case's interview day goes from 8:15am - 4pm.

Wake Forest Interview Invite

My interview for Wake Forest is scheduled for 9/22. The interview day is from 10am-3pm for WF. During the day I will attend a welcome orientation, meet with financial aid, be interviewed by a few people, and be taken on a tour of campus by a medical student.

Wake Forest is in Winston-Salem, NC, which will be almost a nine hour drive.

I will post more regarding the interview after it happens.

Interview!

I just received my first invitation for an interview from Wake Forest! I don't know when I'll interview yet - I have to call and schedule the interview with their admissions office. Although Wake Forest is not a top choice at this point, reaching the interview stage is really exciting! I'm hoping that hearing from WF this early is indicative that I will hear from many more schools and have options on where I can go for medical school.

After I interview with WF, they'll let me know if they want to admit me or not. I'm not sure how long it will take for them to let me know.

Secondary Application Submissions

I am officially caught up on all of the secondary apps I have received! The two schools I have not received yet (UNC and Loyola) may not request secondary apps from me at all. With my luck, I will receive an app soon since I just got caught up. Both of those schools are ones which screen applications before sending any requests. My chances at hearing from Loyola are greater than those of hearing from UNC, but I anticipate that I may hear from both eventually.

Q&A
"What is the next step after secondary applications?"

After secondary applications, all I have to do is ensure that all of my letters of recommendation come through and wait to hear decisions from the schools. Each school will notify me if they would like to interview me or not. If I am invited for an interview, I have to travel to the school to meet with their admissions office for an interview. Schools vary on their interview procedures as well. I will post more on that once I hear from schools and they fill me in on their procedures.
