I was complete in September. Haven't heard anything back yet. Good (but not spectacular) stats, FWIW.

Its been 3 weeks for me, still no complete :/
I called the admissions office, and from what I understood the status page doesn't reflect that you have a complete application until it has been reviewed and gotten BACK from the admissions committee.
I did get the sense that they just wanted applicants to leave their office alone, maybe they told me that just to shut me up...
Interview 😍
Complete: 9/4
Not quite sure what kind of order they're reviewing applications. I was sure that Yale had skipped over me already.
Good luck to everyone else!

Congratulations on the interviews. That's fantastic.

Congrats! When you say complete, do you mean the date your application should have been complete or the time everything was listed as received or the time your status page said your file was under review?
Complete 9/4 as marked on the Status Page. It didn't actually show up as complete until a week (or two?) after 9/4 though.
Has anyone else been waiting over a month now? I'm beginning to get discouraged...
Haha yeah, I've been waiting over a month. Complete mid-August.
Looks like they just decided to send the good news to a lot of us today, since I also was able to snatch one! Complete 9/4 as well.
NotSur, did you try for Oct 26? 😉

I actually asked Mr. Silverman this and he said "absolutely." So straight from the horses' mouth.
depends on your interviewer
it all depends on who interviews you. if it interests them, they might ask a follow up. or they might ask why you did something a certain way. or why you did something. bottom line, just know your research down cold and its applications/relevance. even if their questions don't probe to deeply, prepare to the fullest extent if not for this interview, for the next.
yeah - both my interviewers had research background (one has his own lab, one is an md/phd student) so of course we talked about my research a bit. but it's so random - maybe you'll get a psychiatrist and your interview will be more like therapy 🙂 it's all variable
you have a great mdapps. much success is coming your way!
Why the end of October?
This is incorrect. Yale is non-rolling. There is no reason to "count yourself out" until all interviews have been offered.
I think that's a little drastic. Everyone's pretty much complete by the end of October and they offer interviews until January-ish. That's quite a bit of time to go back and look over other applications.
Schools don't go through the applications only once.
What horse? 😕
Yale has finally marked my application as complete - over a month since everything was submitted. Better late than never I suppose.

The tests aren't optional, you have required tests like once a semester. They are anonymous, pass fail, online.
The truth is it is an adjustment to learning how to study when the test isn't for three months. But this is the same issue that you confront as an attending. Once you are out there you have to sort out where you are weak and work on it so you don't kill patients, not because there is a test. I think the system works very well.
I would rather have a lot of flexibility and have to work on motivation a bit than being stressed out every other week with mandatory tests.

Me and you both buddy. Me and you both.
