Thanks! I submitted November 11 but it took until first week of December to be marked complete. I am a fairly non traditional applicant. Pm me for stats.

For those who have interviewed can you shed some light on this?

I believe they are referring to the writing sample...
Good luck to all. Just be yourself and you will do fine.

Does anyone know if getting the holiday card meant anything? Did everyone who applied get one? I got one but have not received an interview invite....

I do think it was just an act of sincerity from the school, and just something nice from the school.
Wether or not it means something, I doubt it, but I got it too and I'm in the same boat as you. Maybe they sent it to the first few hundred apps they received. Who knows....

I didn't receive the holiday card until after Christmas - a good two weeks after I received the offer and four weeks since the interview. I think it was just a nice thing they did.

I am! I snagged a cancelled spot too!
The holiday cards do not mean anything, they are probably from an arbitrary collection of potential student addresses that the school has. For example, my roommate and I both applied. I recieved an interview invitation and she has not. However she recieved a holiday card and I did not. I would not put any importance on this nice gesture!

is it too obnoxious to send an update regarding shadowing experience?

Have any of the accepted students received their official letter yet? Aren't we supposed to get some sort of packet in the mail? I was accepted around December 20th and I'm wondering when/if I'll be getting anything in the mail.

Lol never mind...upon closer inspection of the email I realized they said they will send a packet after May 15th....
All that running to the mailbox for nothing! Oh well, at least I'm in

Me too! Submitted my secondary in early Jan; looks like the trend (if any) is that candidates typically hear back w/invites a few weeks after submitting their secondary. Hoping that continues, though I'd imagine things may slow down now because they've already accepted a bunch of applicants.

I dunno if that's true: the last person in this thread was complete Nov 11. Of course, this is not representative of everyone, but if one person complete in Dec could speak up, that'd be a good reference point.

I have not yet sent an LOI yet. I'm mulling it over and looking over the letter I wrote. At the Open House and even afterwards, it sounds like "just send what they ask for and nothing more before an II" seems to be the rule, though I don't think there is any harm, just not sure of the benefit.
But if it helps, last week of Nov here and nothing (Nov 26th to be exact). Maybe the week of Nov 11th is the set they are up to because of the holidays (Turkey and Chimney guy, to not offend anyone, lol)?

I was confused at first, but I see what you're saying: you submitted on Nov 11th (you're the person I was talking about), but you weren't marked complete until Dec. I dunno which to go by O_O;

Don't worry, that's not really that long ago, considering there has been about two weeks worth of holidays since then. So I would think you are still in the running.
Thanks so much!! Best of luck to you!!
Assuming the average medical school has to accept 2 to 2.5 times more people from the interviewed pool than the number of seats in the class, in order to safely fill the class, than almost every person interviewed most likely will get an acceptance. Even from the sampling of people on this thread who have interviewed, have also reported that they have been ultimately accepted. Thoughts anyone?

I'd imagine they are planning to interview around 400 applicants. They had already sent out 230 invites back in December: http://quinnipiac.wordpress.com/201...-at-our-frank-h-netter-md-school-of-medicine/

I'll agree with that assessment assuming that there really are 200 interviews being given out. Newer schools that are just about to open usually have to accept closer to 2.5 times more students than the number of seats, so if there are really giving 200 interviews, then the acceptance rate post-interview is something like 70%+, which is kind of ridiculously high...Could be even higher if we're not counting waitlist movement.
Can anyone tell me where the 700 apps/200 interviews info is from? I was reading through the thread and it was mentioned on the second page that by the beginning of November they had over 700, so I feel like there may actually be a lot more apps than 700 by now

Thanks for posting this.
"1,660 applications have been received through the American Medical College Application Service.
290 applications have been screened.
230 applicants have been invited for interviews."
Does "have been screened" mean 290/1,660 applicants got a secondary? Because if that's the case then then I'm pretty glad that they gave me one

It's no problem, it may have been correct info at the time you interviewed. I agree this process is incredibly stressful (driving me half insane- and this is my second cycle) so no worries

Don't worry, I agree, that's probably what the numbers were when you interviewed. This sure is a stressful process, I thought senior year was supposed to be fun.

Based on these #'s, aren't I correct that almost everyone interviewed gets an acceptance?

The class size is going to be 60, so if you figure 60 * 2.5 = 150. However, I believe the number given, 230, for interviewed is only those who have already interviewed. I believe they still plan on interviewing around 400. But even if they interviewed 230 there would still be at least 35% rejected/wait-listed.
