Received an II this morning!! Complete 8/25

Can anyone that has interviewed provide any feedback on their experience and what I should expect. It would be greatly appreciated!

Out of curiosity, are the available interview days they offered in September? Or have they moved on to October?

I am interviewing at UNE COM and have been trying to find some information on where their students have matched for residency in recent years. I can't seem to find the information on their website. Does anyone know where/how I can find this?

Any applicants here with no connections to UNE COM, and also have had little to no contact with the staff / faculty? I'm tentative about answering the first secondary essay questions (about if you had any interactions with UNE COM people and how those interactions have influenced your decision to apply to UNECOM).

I like everything I'm researching about the school, but I've never been to the northeast.

I don't have any specific connections with the school or have had any interactions with the faculty (besides calling to pay my secondary fee). I stated that in a brief sentence then explained why I was interested in UNECOM. I'm a regional applicant but not IS so I spoke about wanting to stay in the North East due to family, etc.

Was extremely impressed by this school at my interview last week. Very friendly and non-stressful interview (at least for me). Felt like a conversation without a doubt

On UNECOM's website under the FAQS it says they interviewed 650 applicants out of about 4300 and then 178 matriculate! I'm assuming they accept a little more than this! So this should be fairly accurate as long as the numbers were relatively the same!

Anyone know when they let you know how long it takes after an interview for them to tell you about their decision?

I'm from NJ and the day I interviewed there was a wide range of northeastern states represented including NY. In their presentation they said they take about 60% from New England 20% from NY, NJ, PA and the rest from all over. I could be a little off on the percentages but it was somewhere around there. It's more of a regional bias.

They told my interview group that they try to have decisions out within 4 weeks of interviewing, but could be faster/slower than that. They send decisions via email and snail mail.

The general rule, everywhere, is "accept 2, admit 1" -- most medical schools accept double their class size to account for settling at the drop deadline.
 
What do you guys think my chances are? OOS (NY) 3.4 cgpa/3.3 sgpa and a 25 MCAT. I retook the MCAT on 9/10 and I'm hoping I did well but I guess we will see. Should I just wait to apply after my new MCAT score?

Hi! I was wondering if any current students could speak to the grading system. My understanding is that it is not pass/fail?
 
Hi! I was wondering that if I submit my app in a few weeks would it be too late? I actually just asked my advisors for a letter of rec and I'm waiting on my September MCAT score. I plan to have the app ready probably in 2.5-3 weeks depending on how long it takes for my letters to be ready.

It's never too late. However, admissions is rolling and, based on previous year's threads, the class seems to be filled by December (as they admittedly interview their highest priority candidates first). Therefore, starting in December, ii's are for WL only spots (typically).
 
I was complete quite some time ago (a couple of weeks), is it safe to say I am not getting an ii??

I was complete one week before receiving an interview. Remember this process isn't always linear though. I wouldn't lose hope yet!!!

Apparently, the creators of emojis don't respect Lobster Gods for there's still no lobster emoji.

You don't even want to know what kinds of depths of the Internet I had to brave to find something so obscure.
