I interviewed today and I have applied for the rural rack. only one out of the three interviews even mentioned it. and the one who did only did because he was the one was built that program from the ground up. honestly, he spoke more about it than I did lol they didn't out right ask me about my desire to be a rural scholar so be prepared to throw that in there yourself to make yourself look good
Although I did not interview for the rural track I had a similar experience with my interview. There was no “why medicine?? Why why why????” I really had to put myself out there at times and emphasize aspects of my application that I wanted to stand out.
Don’t be nervous! They asked me about my hobbies and this internship that I did. I personally tried to tie in how all these helped me grow as a person and in my path to medicine. The med student asked the heavy hitter questions like “what dose professionalism mean to you? What is succsss if you look back on you’re career in 20 years? What’s 1 thing you’d want the admissions committee to know about you?” Then my last interview was about my family background
I have a feeling I know who interviewed you- He was one of our main guides the day of my interview and he was so incredibly nice and knowledgeable. He helped give us really great tips for the interview and made me excited to be a part of the school that had him as part of the committee.
hmm! I wonder if it was the same guy. I liked him he was great, but he definitely tried to bust my balls on the "success" question hahaha. I'm always up for a challenge though.
Makes me wanna vomit thinking about them meeting on friday
I hope it's good news for us all!!!
Same dr eybvanks did say mostly everyone is NFAdMakes me wanna vomit thinking about them meeting on friday
Omg a Facebook group... I have FOMO already lol! All of the spots have to be offered by mid March right? So the next 2 meetings basically fill up the class?
Wouldn’t it be less likely to get accepted right away since there’s less than 60 spots left ?
60 offers do not guarantee 60 spots are taken. People who don't accept them or end up dropping them to go other schools will make more offers go out.
Understandable , but at the same time they can not offer more acceptance than that until they know for sure that people decline offers! So I don’t understand how it’s not likely to get NFAd at this point.
This Friday is a regular meeting.... and February 15 is the advocate meeting.
I could've sworn it was the 22 of February
Maybe it is I know it’s mid February
Hope not. I’ve been waiting on Feb 15 since October
Great question! I’ve been wondering this as well.
Sure! I tried to message you but I can’t if you want to start a thread with me.
The next meeting is today, so expect more interview to go out next week some time.
498 MCAT
Are you an urm?
Did you get an acceptance
The meeting was this past Friday. Hoping for good news soon
504 and 3.7 cumulative and science, kinesiology major
I had my interview a few weeks ago. Everyone here is very deserving of an acceptance. I hope we all get the opportunity to learn together this fall. I have not gotten a letter one way or the other as of now but I hope I get it soon.
Meeting was Friday
When did you get your interview invite?
Feb 1.
No! The next advocate meeting is mid February.
That’s odd! Idk , i would think they would bring everyone up at the monthly meeting to choose whether they accept reject or NFA. From my understanding , that’s what I got from dr Eubanks. I’m sure if you’re really liked, you’ll be more focused on, but I’d think everyone would at least be mentioned briefly
Well my interview is after that...
When’s your interview ? You could possibly be chosen at one of the regular monthly meetings which would be sometime in March. If you are NFAd you’d hear back in May. Apparently, they are filling their class by the feb advocacy meeting because all medical schools have to have their class filled by March 15. But, some people will give up their seats so there Will be more availability sometime after that... how much varies year to year!
I’m pretty sure they discuss everyone from the day after the last meeting until the day before the meeting. How much and to what extent depends on how much you stood out with one of your interviewers
Yes indeed! Me too. I’m also holding on to the fact that if it doesn’t happen this time they WILL discuss me again this month
