@Riles I submitted my secondary on July 8th. Application was complete on July 18th.

II, by email today. I was complete around 7/25.
I picked August 30th, the days they are offering are kind of sucky. I really didn't want to get a hotel. If anyone wants to recommend a good place to stay let me know! Or if anyone is driving/renting a car and wants to carpool!
 
Today was officially 3 weeks since complete and in their email it said to allow them up to 3 weeks to make a decision on my app. Haven't heard anything. Did anyone wait longer than the 3 weeks to hear about an II?

Finally submitted secondary. Hopefully I'm not too late in the game!
 
Do they screen pretty hard for their secondary? Like does me receiving a secondary mean that I have a decent chance at getting an II?
 
Got so lucky with this interview. Turns out I have a family member I haven't seen since I was a child who lives an hour away from CUSOM and they are gunna let me crash there for my interview.

Thank you! What is the schedule like? I think someone had posted one in the past but can't find it anymore. Are you in class/lab from 8-5? Do you have enough time to study AND have time for family/friends?
 
Does anyone know how many people they typically interview? I think I saw that they aim for 150 seats each year but couldn't find the number of interviews granted.
 
They told us on interview day that first year lecture was from about 8-12ish, and labs are either 1-3 or 3-5 depending on what group you're in. I can't remember the exact times, but it's approx 8-5 or 8-3 depending on your lab group.

Btw - Loved interview day! They had some pretty awesome stuff to offer to their students, and everyone was super friendly. :pGood luck everyone!

Usually how long does it take this school to send out their secondary after primary submission?

This is about right.

MS-II year is more open, because you no longer have anatomy, and you start at 8:30.

You definitely have time for family and your own things, if you manage your time well. Many students in our class have children and probably over 60% of the class has a long-term significant other, many married.

The interviews were very chill, there is absolutely no need to be nervous. Both the staff and the interviewers were very friendly. Of course every interviewers asks different questions, but and they mostly asked about general things like why this school, why you, an experience from your activities that you remember etc.. Although I would suggest to prepare questions to ask the interviewers, like 2 or 3, because they will ask you if you have any questions for them. Good luck!

@rfalrifa thanks for the response! And the tips! Luckily I was able to schedule a mock interview for this week. I am hoping that it calms my nerves.

I would have to agree with rfalrifa completely. Everyone at the school was fantastic to interact with, and they truly made you feel welcome throughout the whole day. As others mentioned, it was very laid back but I would also suggest preparing several good quality questions that you can ask the interviewers. I was very impressed by my experience here. Best of luck to everyone!
