Interview invite!

Congrats! When were you complete?
Thanks! I was complete on July 11th.
Just got the interview invite as well! Tried to call but no answer, so haven't set a date just yet. Do you remember what the options were?
August 27th - 29th; 9:30 AM interview or 11:30 AM interview.
Cool, thanks for the feedback. Good luck!
I will see you tomorrow then!
so any ideas on how to tackle the prompt without repeating everything on my primary app?

The interviews were very laid back. No off-the-wall questions, no pressure, very conversational. Be yourself.
Agreed, just be yourself but make sure to mention stuff from your primary app when they ask you the general "get to know you" questions. The 2 interviewers will be the subjective portion of the 30+ faculty/student panel that will either accept or reject you when they get together to look over your completed application.
what was everyone's GPA/MCAT who got interviews?
Average stats for this years entering class was a 29 and 3.5 I think.
For the entering class of 2013, the average undergraduate GPA was actually a 3.7 with a 29.5 MCAT average. This past year was their highest GPA average to date according to the Dean. Good luck everyone!
3.9/33 non-trad

Hello all. I am applying to this school and have also received an interview invite. But since I have sent my secondary (and also because there may not have been a good place to include this on the secondary app), I have more information I'd like BSOM to know about me.
Is there a way to submit supplemental information regarding things we are doing currently or general things that we want them to know, so it is submitted into our file.
Thanks in advance

II! Set for Nov. 5
Hi, the best way to do it would be to bring a copy of your updates to the interview and give it to the ADCOM personally. That way, you can emphasize your updates and make yourself stand out from the rest of the interviewees. Good luck!

Has anyone been able to check their mail today? My mail doesn't normally arrive until close to 5:00. The first letters were received on 10/16 last year!
I keep refreshing the admissions update page, but it is still current as of 10/1.

I am in the Triad, and the letter was postmarked 10/16.
3.5 cGPA, 3.9 sGPA, 3.9 post bacc GPA, 34 MCAT. Nontraditional, reapplicant.
When was your interview?
It was late August. Hope this helps.
Does anyone know how often letters are sent out?
Anyone know?
Hey, folks.
Re-applicant. This is my 3rd time.
Is anybody aware of how the interview selection process works for re-applicants? Last year Ms Coward told me that re-applicants are put in a "different pool" and judged using a different criteria.
Additionally, does anybody know if stigma exists for a 3rd time applicant?😕
Congrats to those who have been accepted. Great school.

I don't know how it works differently for reapplicants, but one of my student tour guides last year had to apply three times to get in. I don't think there is a stigma to being a reapplicant, but you should definitely address weaknesses in your application from one year to the next to make yourself a better candidate.
I hope someone can give you more insight about how the process works for reapplicants.
I've been complete since 8/4 and still no rejection or II... IS, 3.4/31. I feel like this is unusually long to wait.
Accepted!!! Can't believe it!!

Did you send them a letter of intent or anything? I'm debating on doing that
