Been complete for about 3-4 weeks and haven't heard anything from any of the VCOMs. Nobody picks up when I call, anybody know how long it takes to get an II after being complete?

FYI Jasmine Oliver is out of the office this week and will return next week. I know someone who has an interview Thursday of next week. If it is taking 2ish weeks to hear back, I imagine they will make the next round of decisions and interview invites the week before Thanksgiving.
Hey guys I plan on having my primary sent off within the next two weeks. Stats are 3.39 cgpa, 3.11 sgpa, 8PS/7VR/6BS with a planned retake Dec 6th this year. I'm an in state applicant from a rural area and a high interest in primary care. Any idea on if I'll even be competitive?
no idea, but it's late and you've got a low sGPA with a low MCAT and many schools won't process your app until your retake scores come in (auburn is not one of these schools, however. i know personally)
Are you saying this year's class will have lower than average matriculating stats?
No, I have no basis for making that claim, and that isn't the claim I intended to put across.
I have a pending MCAT (11/7) and they already gave me an II which means they processed my app. Most schools will wait until your pending MCAT scores come in before processing your app. So, since I have a pending MCAT and they extended me an II, Auburn is not a school that waits for pending MCAT scores before processing.
¿Me comprende señor?
Gracias. Ahora entiendo mejor!
I thought you had further insight into the selection process than the rest of us =)
I am actually very excited about interviewing here. I have never been to the south so I am looking forward to exploring during my interview week.

It will be a cultural experience. Make certain you try barbeque (BBQ) in multiple establishments. If you're here for a brief time, that's probably the best thing to help you understand why we are the way we are.
And the tea is sweetened at 2 cups of sugar/gallon of water. If that's all you ever drink, yes, it will contribute to early-onset diabetes. Think of it as....as a house wine. Especially since the weather's cooled off a bit.

Where can I find the cheapest motel in Auburn?
i think the Motel 6 or Econo Lodge in Opelika are the cheapest (by $5-$10) if you plan on getting a rental car. If not, the Microtel Inn or Home-Towne Suites are both in Auburn (but idk distances from the meeting place) but I don't think either of those had breakfast. I made sure I got a place with breakfast so I didn't have to bother with bringing a bunch of granola bars, etc.
I chose to go with the cheaper places in Opelika and get a rental car so that if I wanted to explore, I could, and also because I didn't know about taxi availability and how much they would be. Plus the shuttle to and from Montgomery would have been more than a rental car.
When are you interviewing?
Driving from
Driving from ATL today. Interview tomorrow. Address is 570 Devall Drive?
Wait, so you're saying the people who interviewed oct 16 and 23rd won't hear back until the week before thanksgiving?FYI Jasmine Oliver is out of the office this week and will return next week. I know someone who has an interview Thursday of next week.

She told me we would probably hear back around November 5th. Committee is supposed to meet on 11/4.Wait, so you're saying the people who interviewed oct 16 and 23rd won't hear back until the week before thanksgiving?

Microtel Inn & Suites on South College Street was $61 after it was all said and done--purchased via Hotwire. Econolodge is probably around the same and it sits right across the street. Both very close to campus.
Don't sweat it! Not every applicant knows about SDN. I only found out recently. Good luck next week!!so nobody else is on 11/11?
omg, can you imagine if you were the only interviewee on a day (i know it won't happen but still lol)
how nerve-wracking would that be???
Don't sweat it! Not every applicant knows about SDN. I only found out recently. Good luck next week!!
i wasn't really thinking i'd be the only one. just wish there was another person on SDN so that we could either head out to dinner the night before or something to keep my mind off of the interview.
thanks though!
how local? would i be able to meet up with you monday afternoon/evening or have you give me suggestions for places to get to? i land in montgomery around 11am and will be driving to auburn, checking into hotel and then have nothing to do basically.I think UCBanned and I are the only locals.
Ha! Yeah. I ate BBQ by myself the night before the interview... kind of lame.i wasn't really thinking i'd be the only one. just wish there was another person on SDN so that we could either head out to dinner the night before or something to keep my mind off of the interview.
thanks though!
Great advice! Any recommendations as to checking out local rental property prices? Are there "bad" areas in Auburn that we would be good to stay out of? I didn't see any, but I am not sure if I saw all of Auburn or not.
I'd stay off the Dean/Samford area simply because the primary school/high school/jr. high traffic is nightmarish at certain times. I'm not as familiar with good/bad areas though.
You have to get in.P.S. if I get in, I'll host a welcome party at my house.
Anyone getting freaked out that we're supposed to hear back tomorrow? I'm at work right now, and I can't even concentrate. I basically work on a PRN, as-needed basis, and I told them I would be unavailable tomorrow. I figure that whether in joy or sorrow, I'm going to be drinking a few tomorrow night.
Oh man, I remember this feeling so much. It wasn't helpful that some people got calls on one day and then they made more calls the next day. I was sure I hadn't gotten in.
