Can someone please post the secondary prompts? Also can someone give me the low down on this school? I am from CA and do not speak Spanish. I only studied 4 years in high school and 1 quarter/semester at my university. How big of a deal is that for admissions?

Last cycle, they gave Multiple Mini Interviews. There were 7 total. 4 were conducted in Spanish and 3 were conducted in English.
Congratulations! About how long did it take for you to hear back from them after you submitted the fee and transcripts ? Thanks !
II.
Anyone know if all interviews have started in November, or have there been some in October? I am aware -from previous posts- that invitations started maybe as far back as September.

By any chance, what are your stats?
I did slightly better on my mcat this year, but have somewhat low GPA. Would like to know where people getting interviewed stand. Good luck.
Hey guys. I'm a current OOS first year student at SJB. If anyone has questions about the school, feel free to message me or post on here and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I know how stressful this process can be so hang in there!
Hello everyone,
I'm currently an OOS MS4 as SJB. If anyone has any questions please free free to PM me. Just a little about me, I applied to all 3 medical school an OOS applicant can get accepted too and was accepted into all 3 and ultimately decided to go to SJB. Keep in mind this was back in 2012.
I'm happy to help.

I had my interview at the end of October. Still waiting on a decision though
According to what they said during my interview orientation, AdCom wouldn't start sending out decisions until February and onwards.
II 12/16
Like in two to three weeks I receive one.
I wouldn't worry, all Medical schools looking at MCAT score, GPA is irrelevant
So, are they keen on people who are fluent in Spanish? many of us applied while we are learning Spanish!
The MMI interviews are conducted in both languages. All PRican schools stress knowing both languages at a proficient if not fluent level.
Hello! I havea 493 mcat and 4.00 GPA, plus many years of research and internships. What do you think are my chances of being accepted?
You should just call Jaymi and ask her directly if you're a strong candidate or not. She'll tell you straight up like she told me and here I am 4 years later about to graduate lol.
Would it be a good idea to send an extra letter of recommendation if they have yet to contact me regarding an interview? One of my doctors I'm working on a project with has been asking me if she can write me one since I've done so much with her since I applied. Or should you not send letters until you get an interview?

I don't think it would hurt. SJB is very receptive to people who show continued interest. I know because I bothered them with updates until they accepted me last year in May.
I got my acceptance letter this past Monday!
It was after. If it's letters of rec I believe you do it through AMCAS; other updates can be sent by email to Jaymi.
Hi everyone!! I was called last Friday ( March 3, 2017) for a interview. I will interview on March 30, 2017 but I think my chances are low because of my 491 MCAT and 3.7GPA.
I did last Friday March 3!
Accepted. Just found out today in an email from Jaymi. I will be withdrawing as I have accepted another offer; hope any of you gets it.
Just got my II, 4/6.
Anyone know the match results from previous years/board pass rates?

Hola chic@s,
Hope you are all doing well and congratulations to those of you who have been selected for this cycle. I received an II at SJBSOM for 3/29 and am feeling so blessed, nervous and excited all at the same time. For those of you who have already interviewed here, I have a couple of questions:
1. Are we allowed to bring notepads to the interview to jot things down?
2. How long does the interview take with the tour included? I have to fly out that evening and am concerned that I might be cutting it close. I have read it takes about 3 hours - can someone who recently interviewed confirm?
Thanks!

Keep in mind that most of the members in the group are current MS1s
1. If I remember correctly, you can bring a notepad and jot stuff down during the tour, but not during the interview itself. They will ask you to put your things in a room while you do the interview.
2. Didn't interview recently so someone else will have to answer but last year it took 2 hours and 45 mins for me.
