Are you an EDP or RD applicant, @fizzle_22?

YRAHHHHHHHH! Super excited.
YRAHHHHHHHH! Super excited.

Good luck!!! It definitely appears they're sending the IIs in large batches. I could only sign up for an interview date in September. So maybe they send them out monthly?
As soon as I saw that people had gotten II's I felt the same way and immediately went into panic mode thinking about how crappy it would be not to get accepted anywhere! EVEN SO...It's still the beginning of September and we have a long way to go!!! Plenty of interviews to be had.
II TODAY!!! Complete 8/2, IS, Lizzy M 72
Can anyone who's already had an interview here this year comment on how it went?

I think they primarily correspond with applicants through email. The only time I've heard of admissions calling anyone is to let a select few know that they were accepted into the program.
Are you IS or OOS?
By "select few" do you mean applicants from a very small applicant pool (e.g. MD/PhD applicants)?
Sorry, I guess the word "select" wasn't the right word to use. From what I've heard it was kind of random like maybe the caller was set up to call whoever was next in line for acceptance on a particular day or something like that.
Ah, understood. Thanks!
Any tips from those that have interviewed so far?

I interviewed on Monday and had a great time! My two interviewers were very warm and welcoming, and I felt that they took a genuine interest in my experiences. I was less nervous than I was for a practice interview.
My interviewers asked a couple standard questions about me and my experiences. They didn't make it feel like an evaluation at all.
Just be the pleasant person you are and you will be fine!

That totally blows. I really don't think there's a good reason for not accepting AP credits, especially when every top ten seems to.

I'm with ya there! Hard not to wonder what is happening when those complete after you get a II before you.. of course luckily, there are other explanations for it besides the adcoms seeing your application and going "hmm.. nah."
Congrats!! Mind sharing your stats?
My advice would be to sift through the MCG Application Threads from the previous few years to see if there is any discernible pattern regarding RDP decision renderings. I was an EDP applicant this year, and by looking over the MCG App Threads from 2010-2011 through 2015-2016, a pattern of EDP decisions emerged such that it was evident that EDP decisions were generally rendered on the Friday following the second Thursday in September, provided that that Friday did not fall on September 11. This turned out not to be the case this cycle, as my EDP acceptance arrived on the Friday following the third Thursday of September. Still the pattern proved somewhat usefully predictive. I expect that similar patterns regarding RDP decisions will be evident in the threads for the MCG application cycles of previous years.
Best of luck!
As far as I am aware, the only application updates MCG could receive prior to an applicant receiving his/her secondary would be anything updated through AMCAS (much of which is restricted following AMCAS submission). Application updates for MCG are uploaded to a special section of the school's secondary.

I got my interview invite via email. I don't believe there was any indication in my status tab beforehand, just green checkmarks showing they had received everything. Good luck!
Been complete since early July- nothing 🙁

SAME!! I've been absolutely complete (Primary, Secondary, LORs, Documents, etc.) since July 18 and it has been radio silence for the past 71 days. Hopefully we'll hear back soon with some good news!
Does anyone know any Harrison Scholars at MCG?
II! Complete 7/14
Hey, did anyone else get an email from MCG about clarification of admissions requirements? I don't know if it is just a mass email they sent or if they are specifically telling me that I might have some issues with my prerequisites.
I think it's sent to everyone
Ok thanks. I was getting worried since I already graduated, and I would not have the chance to take any extra classes now.
That email made me heartbroken. Dying waiting for II 🙁(
