2 is better i believe. congrats!I just got #2....quick question. Is #3 better or #2???
3.3 < gpa < 3.5
30 < mcat < 36
Thanks. Just trying to get a feel for where I stand.
I would venture that it means the early interviews will not be youres. But come nov-march you will have greater chances to be interviewed.This is what I got....
The committee's file review indicates that they are interested in your candidacy. However, due to the increase in the applicant pool this year, it is clear we MAY be unable to interview all the candidates at your priority score. If we do find that we are able to grant an interview you will be notified by e-mail in March.
So if they can interview me, it has to be during March? Or are they just saying this is how long it can go on?
got my interview invite today... scheduling for 9/22... i would post my numbers but i am a non-trad and needless to say, if i posted my numbers it would only spark confusion... trust me on this...

Still no status change for me. One more day this week, and then it's a long weekend wait. This is the only thing I hate about weekends... at least on weekdays you can hope for something to change.
No, I don't normally sit around my computer Friday night. Alas, I thought I'd do something helpful tonight. 🙂

Apparently the idea is that the Adcom assigns each candidate a priority, and then based on your priority your status is updated.
1. How does the ADCOM determine your priority score?
Your file is projected onto a screen and people start tearing you down based on weaknesses. Your file reviewer (one who initially read your file) and interviewer are your advocates and push for you to get in. They field questions and there is a discussion about you. Each member on the adcom gives you a score from 1-5. The highest and lowest score are thrown out and the rest are averaged. This is your priority score. 1 is the best basically the ideal candidate and 5 is the worst. Anything above a 3.5 is an automatic rejection. - Instatewaiter
Cliff's Notes on potential responses (eliciting increasing levels of glee?).
1) The committee's file review indicates that they wish to consider your file over the next several weeks before making a decision about interview. Since they have some reservations about granting an interview, your file will be reviewed again by a small sub-committee before making a final decision. Please continue to check this site to learn when further action has been taken.

3) The committee's file review indicates that they would like to consider your file further. We are now in the process of scheduling interviews and will continue to do so through February. Unfortunately, the committee indicates interest in far more candidates than we are able to interview. Since we are dependent on the Committee member's schedules for interview spaces, we are unable to predict when or if we will be able to schedule you this year. Please continue to check this site to learn when further action has been taken.
Now, it's time for me to go hang out with my beautiful wife. Cheers.
here's my thought on #2 and #3. The one that says review your file says that you have a shot of being scheduled between now and februarty, where as the one about the candidacy (#2 supposedly) says they will notify you in March. That shows me that the actual number 3 is number. Just my opinion. Also, my friend got the "#3 status" last year in october, and ended up getting an interview in november. He told me that number 1 is usually reserved for instate first, then out of state is taken care of after. Just my 2(or 3) cents.
Aw man, so #3>#2....see the phrasing is so weird for both. So does anyone know for a fact that a #2 for sure means an interview only in March or later (that is if you get an interview)?
Yeah, the wording on these things is crazy. Although, I'm sure they don't expect people to compare them.
I still can't decide if #2 or #3 is better. One way to check would be to go through last year's thread and see who got interviews and which prompt they had. I might do it later if I'm bored.

Haha I read your comment, so I went to check my email. I was so excited when I saw 1 new email but forgot I had sent myself an email from lab earlier today. =[
From what I saw, it seems like the MAY message is better than the FURTHER message. The MAY implies that they are interested, further indicates that your file needs to be reviewed again before they will become interested. Also, there were a few people who got the MAY message that were accepted by 10/15; I didn't see anyone with an acceptance that early who had the FURTHER message.
Summary:
I think it goes like this:
Very interested > May > Further > Reservations > Rejected
wow congrats! Are you is or oos? It looks like most of the interview invites went out to is..i'm oos so i don't know if i should be getting really nervous or just nervous. Thanks! And congrats again!
it seems like everyone heard something back within a week of completion! I was complete more than a week ago and still no news!!
i also agree with this, someone mentioned earlier that when they review applications they give numbers 1-5 one being strongly interested and 5 not interested at all so it makes sense that the numbers go in order 😉
Your supplemental application has been received. Check your File Status for any items that may be pending. As soon as your file is completed, it will be forwarded to the Admissions Committee for a decision on interview.
WHAAAT! I never got a secondary invite or confirmation email but it says it was sent on the 10th of last month!!! Junk mail filter!?

did you get the acknowledgment email? i got my secondary right after that when I checked my status!! dont worry you will have a month to finish it 🙂
So my M.D. application was complete about two weeks ago. Today got a status changed message and this is my new message:
Anyone else have a weird status update?
Checked the file status and I'm still complete there. It seems like I went back a step.
yea i got the same repeat email too! i got my initial update email on 7/29, so pretty recent. i don't know if this necessarily means we went back a step. probably a glitch....or it better be.
keeping my fingers crossed for an interview!!![]()
got the "would like to further review your file" message. really impressed by how quickly they're doing this!
complete 7/28, OOS
i was complete before this and still now news, im starting to get nervous here![]()
Yeah I hear you. I'm trying not to be too compulsive but it's so hard. I'm also trying not to read too much into what my status message means but...
i was complete before this and still now news, im starting to get nervous here![]()

me too, especially now that I see OOS people have gotten something besides just "complete"...
