I'm not sure if 1/13 and 1/22 are going to be the only interview dates, but I do know that they plan to have an accepted students-only event at the end of February and that leads me to believe they want to wrap the process up quick. Expand Thanks for responding and congratulations!!! redmangue 1

ood63 Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Since this is the first time in the process is it recommended to reply to the "invite" email saying thank you and you look forward to meeting everyone or something like this???? dejosco 1

At least that's what I got from looking at previous years in the results section. Maybe we'll hear something today or tomorrow, who knows. Expand Just got the email! misterbob19 1

prospective_molbio Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Are you guys planning to have some powerpoint slides / figures to show during your interviews? I am not sure if I should. I've received conflicting advice.... some people told me that interviews are suposed to be like conversations, so it is not advised to have any slides or anything whereas others say it will be helpful to get your points across. I am leaning towards not having any, but idk if that may make me look unprepared/less prepared than other people getting interviewed if they do have them.
jakeperalta Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Has anyone heard from U Wisconsin Microbiology? Literally don't know what is happening there T_T

Expand I am personally not planning on doing it. It is a personal choice because if I do so, I might switch from talking in a conversational way to talking in a more automatic/presentation way, but that is just me. It's a matter on you deciding what works best for you, but I do know a lot of peers who will be showing small 1-3 summary slides, so schools are not actually against it. prospective_molbio 1

I still haven't heard from Denver. I know their admissions FAQ says that if you don't receive an interview invite or denial that your application is waitlisted. Really hoping I get lucky...

Smoothbrain Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Is anyone else on the waitlist for the alternate interview date for UCSD BMS? I'm not sure how long to wait before reaching out again and asking for updates and I'm nervous that I won't be able to interview at all if I wait too long.

Expand I received an interview invitation but I wasn't able to make the initial date they gave me. When I emailed them about rescheduling, they said that there was an alternate interview weekend but that it was full and that they'd put me on the waitlist for it in case someone changed their mind. I'm just not sure how likely it is that someone who specifically asked for the alternate weekend would decide not to go. The deadline to decide was January 4th.

Expand I had my first interview last week, and personally found that the 30 mins goes SO fast that using visual aids gets in the way and is a little cumbersome. Per interviewer, about 2-3 mins was devoted to talking about a specific project I did. Using figures/slides would take too much time and wouldn't add much to my explanations. prospective_molbio and MyStomachHurts 1 1
