Congrats on the messege. It seems like a high Pri score.
May I ask if you are an In-state student or not?

Hey guys, I got this, what you all think
"The Committee's file review indicates that they are very interested in your candidacy. There is another increase in the applicant pool this year, but we are trying to get all candidates at your priority score interviewed as soon as possible. Please watch for an e-mail from us regarding a possible interview date."
The committee's file review indicates that they would like to consider your file further. We are now in the process of scheduling interviews and will continue to do so through February. Unfortunately, the committee indicates interest in far more candidates than we are able to interview. Since we are dependent on the Committee member's schedules for interview spaces, we are unable to predict when or if we will be able to schedule you this year. Please continue to check this site to learn when further action has been taken.
I just got this update. Not good?
It's not the best message you can get, but still good. Congrats.
after looking at your mdapps and based on the few messages i've seen you post on here, if I were an adcom member, you'd get my vote for SURE!

When was your application complete? I can't imagine that they would give you a less friendly message with a 4.0 32 mcat. Unless, you submitted like yesterday.
Thanks Hopefully I can get an interview for GU like you did. Congrats to you!
Gtown would be the PERFECT place for you, given your background!
Complete 7/24 per MDapps
I was over in Dupont Circle Saturday night. Went to Buffalo Billards and then Front Page. Nice area DC is.
weird, when did you get the message?
Particularly for a lawyer. Your schmoozing game will be sick. I will have to tag along with you on friday nights, if we both end up there.. hope you dont mind.
I'm not a lawyer, but I go out to bars with lawyers. And yes, they're pretty good at what they do, LOL! Adams Morgan is pretty crazy.
wow, you guys weren't kidding about the quick turn-around time at VCU. complete yesterday, just got the status update today
best of luck all

Does anyone know what advantage does interviewing early--lets say in september--has compared with interviewing later in the year--lets say in January?

OOS. weird huh? people have way better MCAT scores then me too....
i think it was my letter of rec and my secondary essays. I really nailed both of them. for the specialty, I already know what i want to do, and have a good reason for picking it.
For second essay, where they want to know about you more, i just wrote a story....in a funny way. I wanted them to know that I have a sense of humor.
If you don't get an offer right away, there are more opportunities for your application to be reviewed again for an offer. Also, there are more offers you're fighting for earlier rather than later.
Got the "bad" message... not too surprised but still disappointed.
Complete 7/23 for anyone who is still waiting.
What is the bad message?
The committee's file review indicates that they wish to consider your file over the next several weeks before making a decision about interview. Since they have some reservations about granting an interview, your file will be reviewed again by a small sub-committee before making a final decision. Please continue to check this site to learn when further action has been taken.
I also have a hold for grades even though I'm not enrolled in school.

utahjazz, keep the hope alive, I wish you the best of luck!
In a sense... the message is BETTER than the "MAY" message... because he's (supposedly) going to be getting more eyes looking at his application... and in this game, just having the dust wiped off of your app and someone taking a look at it means a heck of a lot.
Sorry to burst that bubble...but, no. The "very interested" is the best message, with "may interview" being next. The "we have reservations" is at the bottom of the pile...right above the rejections.
VCU uses an obscure tier system that stems from priority scores...the status messages are just reflective of the priority score you have (which they will never tell you, fyi).
I don't recall exactly who got interviews last year, maybe check out the VCU thread...? I got the "may" message and was invited for interview a few weeks later. But I know not everybody who wasn't automatically rejected post-secondary got interviews.
I wonder how many will be interviewed this year? Last year it was 800-ish.
Was trying to put a positive spin on it, but yeah...
sorry...I'm such a debbie downer....
ack, this process makes me all bitter and whatnot...esp. when VCU is concerned. stupid waitlist.

I definitely appreciated the positive spin!
And congrats on the Georgetown invite... very awesome.

Who did you address it to and what form (email, snail mail typed, snail mail written, etc.)? Thanks!I sent them a LOI last year, post-interview.
Can't say it helped my cause much, but it probably didn't hurt. Given the discussions I've had with Dr. WC, they had plenty of other reasons to not accept me .
I believe that was the consensus reached in last year's thread. The wording is better ("they are interested in your candidacy" vs. "they would like to consider your file further") and I think SDN'ers with the MAY message got more interviews... at least that's what I recall.
