So now instead of going suit shopping, I need to go business casual shopping, and then go suit shopping later! Haha, so cruel.
Has anyone heard back from UT Southwestern MSTP? I sent my letters (via Interfolio) on 8/8. I haven't received a single email 🙁
May? Wow.
anyone complete at Harvard yet? getting anxious...
Yup. I was complete as of 9/2.
So UIC pays up to $300 in travel expenses. What I'd like to do is fly up for the Northwestern interview, stay the weekend with relatives, and then fly home after the UIC interview. Do you think UIC would still reimburse me for the flight if I come 5 days early? Should I ask them about it?
Holy ****, quite a day for you dabby. Congrats!
^^ WOW congrats for triple whammy.
Congrats! Was this by email??
I hear the mdphd office does not get applications until they get through the md-only screening first. That said, they already have a trickle coming through. The first interview weekend for mdphd is not until december, so it might be just a little while longer.anyone complete at Harvard yet? getting anxious...
For people who applied to Northwestern, did they notify you by e-mail when your application was complete? Or did you simply log into the status page, seen that they had listed your letters, and assumed you were complete without explicit indication?
I could call and ask, but don't want to needlessly harass if anyone has a ready answer.
Vielen Dank!
Grats on UVA! How did the invite come?
Northwestern folks:
Do you know who you're interviewing with?
The schedule I got said "refer to interview grid 1" or "...grid 2" etc, etc, but there is no grid... so I really don't understand. Am I missing something?
"Yea I was really confused by that too. I'm just assuming they'll give us the grid later...."
I'm even more confused given I didn't get a schedule yet... Did it come by snail mail?
I'm starting to get really nervous about this. No rejections yet, but no interview invites either. I guess I haven't been complete at many places for that long (I got burned out half way through filling out secondaries and took a couple of weeks off, so some places are receiving the last of my materials this and next week), but still... it has been almost 4 weeks since I got the "you're complete and under review" email from 6 of my schools.
I wonder how often the committees meet. Have I already been passed over, or are they just slow? I thought my MCAT (37) made me pretty competitive despite my GPA (3.63). Then again, my essay writing skills are not exactly fantastic, so even though I spent months on my primary essays, my secondary ones are not great.
I guess it's time to just sit back, take a few deep breaths, and realize that this process is going to be really really long. So if I'm pulling my hair out the whole time, I'm just going to end up bald and unhappy. I would feel so much better if I had heard from SOMEONE, but even my state schools are silent. The only thing that I've heard at all is that I passed UVermont's first pass, but that doesn't guarantee an interview. I'm just in the pool of people from which they will pick the people they interview. Not very comforting.
Doesn't anybody want me? 🙁 I'm really nice, I swear!!! I'd make a great addition to your program!
P.S. I'm having a pity party later, and everyone's invited. Should be a pretty depressing time... you should all come. 😛
Be patient 😀. And also check this list. Many schools haven't even started sending out invites yet.
