Actually I was in screeing 7/20 as well and entered pool today. Not sure if being 'off schedule' from others means something bad in particular, but you should not assume rejection yet.I entered screening 07/20, still not pooled Should I assume rejection, or do they actually notify you if you are rejected?
Cool thanks.
Also, how did you guys hear of Rosalind Franklin? I feel like I don't have any compelling reason (other than it was recommended to me by an advisor).
How long does it take to get their secondary because I still have not received mine...was I screened out?
Did they start giving out interviews?
Ok, I'm gonna assume that you entered screening in 7/26 unless you had a time warp . I believe that ppl who entered screening late (by that I mean after early July) received a notification after at least 2-3 weeks. So you're still within schedule. Probably you'll hear something next week.I entered screening 8/26 and still didnt receive a status, beginning to worry me. Did anyone get rejections?

And yes, there were ppl who did not pass the primary screening. I think they posted it earlier in the thread.
Btw, it's ok if you seem behind schedule compared to those who entered screening at the same time as you. I received my passed screening notification several days after the guys who entered screening at the same time as I did pass the screen.

Just got pool. Just now. Weird time!Does anyone know if they actually expect an essay for the last question -- "how did you hear about Rosalind Franklin?" To be honest, I'm just applying because it's in my state. I applied to all the med schools in Illinois.

complete: 7/28
entered screening: 8/2
pooled: 8/22
How do you know when your application entered screening? I received confirmation that they received my secondary in early July but didn't get my MCAT back until July 19th. How do I know if they got my scores and letters?
I submitted my application on 8/2, but haven't recieved a complete e-mail yet, unless it's the confirmation e-mail they send people right after app submission. (I've turned everything in already)
For those who are complete and have entered screening, how long was the lag time between when you submitted and when you were designated as "complete"? Should I be worried?
A few days. See the posts above.
the significance of the pool is that they screen people into the pool so that 50-60% of applicants are removed and from there they pick out guys for interviewEntered screening on the first week of August.
Pooled 8/22. What exactly is the significance of pool at RF?

i think its roughly 50%....either way if ur not in the pool ur probably not gettin and interview so its a good place to be regardless how many people r in itI didn't know that only ~40% people make it into the pool. That's not a bad place to be then. Thanks for the information.
Just got rejected. I guess I'm a little happy, since this school is crappy from what I hear.
Now now, no need to bad mouth a school b/c they rejected you. But I do agree that it is better to be rejected early than let it drag forever with a "hold" status and eventually get rejected in Spring. I believe you're a good applicant, so good luck with the other schools this cycleJust got rejected. I guess I'm a little happy, since this school is crappy from what I hear.
bitter much? I don't think theres such a thing as a cruddy MD school...everything is what you make of itJust got rejected. I guess I'm a little happy, since this school is crappy from what I hear.
Soldierboy, thinking about adding an MDapps profile? It'd be great to know more about SDN friends here so we can help each other out. I already have 1 convert, lolbitter much? I don't think theres such a thing as a cruddy MD school...everything is what you make of it
