Hey, I have been through the admission process 3 times at UVM. I know most of the people involved on a first name basis and have connections with current and past students. I know Burlington very well (grew up 100 miles north (in Canada aha)). Let me know if I can help. I know the interview weekend process better than anyone. I have been through it 3 times! I know a lot of the people that conduct the interviews. It's a great program! Patrick

I'll see you there then! P

I got a no from UConn, I'm going to UVM for the 2nd interview weekend and I'm waiting to hear back from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Is there anyone else that applied to Mizzou? Anyone else going to the 2nd interview weekend at UVM? (Let me know if you have any questions; it's my 3rd time in the process). P

Hey, You're good. I deferred from last year so I am definitely going to the interview weekend. I have not received the schedule yet. This is my 3rd year in the process. They are pretty last minute, always. You're good, don't panic yet. I'll let you know when I get my email. P

In my experience at UVM, the GRE was completely irrelevant to them and they didn't really care about your GPA either, unless it was terrible. They focused on experience in student development and on social justice. The process was extremely competitive and the interview weekend exhausting. In general people in the UVM community were really nice to me and I enjoyed my experience. I found that it was easy to reach out to current students to ask for help or additional information. They interview at least 12 students for every position, so it's very difficult to stand out. The interviews focused on giving examples when you were faced with specific problems... If you haven't been faced with these problems, you are basically screwed. I've been twice myself already and I've met other people who had to try 2 or 3 times to finally get an assistantship. Anyone interested in UVM or UCONN living in upstate NY or Vt?

Dear all, I'll be applying to UVM and UCONN this year. I've attented the interview weekend at the University of Vermont twice already (only school I've applied to so far). I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you prior to the interviews.
