I swear this school forgot about me. Does anyone else who was verified early still not have a secondary?
Does anyone know if applicants have to have a strong commitment to Christian principles in order to be considered?😕

any idea how LLU feels about LGBT issues? I tried to look on their website but couldn't find anything.

Did they give you contact info when you received your secondary? I was verified the 1st of June and still don't have my secondary but I don't know what number/email to use to call and inquire about it. Would you mind pming me the info?

I'm kind of worried because I submitted the secondary on 7/9, and AMCAS sent my letters of rec on 7/21, but still haven't received any email saying I'm complete.
Anyone else submitted early and haven't been notified of completion?
I had same problem, I have a BS in Bio Sci and a BA in Psych.
I think I just put my BS.
does loma linda screen???
I am Muslim, should I even bother applying or will that screen me out?
K. I'll probably go with that then. Thanks. I was already leaning that way anyways since my BA is English Lit. which somehow doesn't seem as relevant as Biology.
Has anyone received any interview invites yet? When do they start coming out?
I received an email August 13th stating that my LORs had been received and just today received another email stating that my LORs have been received and my file is now complete. I see some other people had this issue too.
For those of us who are not SDA but another Christian denomination, should we be waiting until after January for interviews? And where did you get this info? Thanks!

For those of you wondering when non-SDA interview at Loma Linda, I just wanted to note that last year I received an interview invite just before Thanksgiving and interviewed on January 27th.
So I got swamped with work and did not complete my secondaries, is it even worth sending them in anymore? I was somehow consoled by the fact that some of my friends didn't even get their MCATs back until two weeks ago, but now I'm really bummed about not having sent them in.

Interview invite via snail mail today!! Really excited bc this is where my family wants me to go to school.. Come from a SDA family. Sent my seconday in the middle of August and got the complete e-mail on September 21st.
Anyone else out there with interviews? Also anyone know what kind of questions they ask and how the interveiw format is? Thanks and good luck to the rest of you!
I did a regional interview on October 12th so I am guessing the format will be a little different but here is my experience.... Since we have met with him before and he has asked me the difficult what you would do in X situation questions before he didn't this time. However, he seemed to be trying to get me on the defense. He asked me a relatively offensive question right away and he kept on after that. He drilled me about every potential weakness in my application--have a good explanation. He also asked the typical why medicine, career goals. I included my relationship with God in my answers early on but if I hadn't I am relatively certain he would have followed up there. I had research experience and he asked why not phD. (I have never been published so I def didn't see that one coming. I am pretty sure my anwer was atrocious 😳).
Thanks for the advice! so it was a one on one interview? and if so how many interviewers? You also refer to "him" a lot, is it one guy that always interviews people? Thanks
Does anyone know how many people they interview and how many people they give acceptances to? Also can anyone remember any difficult questions off hand? Thanks for the help!

Got an interview invite on Monday via regular mail. I'm scheduled for the 23rd of November, I'm so excited.
This is my number 1 choice! I'm nervous but hopefully I do great 🙂
I'm SDA and I interviewed in the first round on campus last year. I think there were like 20 people interviewing that day. You get two interviews, they can be two faculty, one faculty and one student (3rd or 4th year) I had low MCAT scores so I was asked about that a lot, I got asked to explain my research project, and things about my applications, like why my GPA went down during my junior year. I don't remember having any controversial issues questions. I don't know how many get accepted, our class is like 175 people, I know some people came out of the waitlist. Dr. Nyirady does interview people, He did mine but since it was a last minute change he basically read my application as we went along. Best wishes for the interview 😀
Thanks for the response🙂.. Do you mind telling me what your MCAT score was? I am on the borderline with sub par mcats (9,9,10 and 11,8,10) and just wanted to know if I had to prepare for answering similar questions. Thanks !
24 (8,8,8), 21(7,6,8), 26(11,5,10). Proof that applying to med school is not all about the MCAT 😀
Nice! 👍
This thread needs to wake up.lol.. Anyone else out there interviewing in November?
