Does that mean Im complete and under review? Seems like those who got invites were completed real early.
 
I think the status of "under review" means you're complete. And based off what people said earlier, it doesn't look like they send too many email notifications out concerning whether your app is complete or if you have an interview invite.

When were you complete and 'under review'?

i really wish i could tell you.. sorry :/ all i know is that it's been like that for a while now and i submitted my secondary 2-3 days after the first batch of secondaries were received
 
Does anyone know how to change the order of the clinical campuses you initially choose? :-\.
It won't let me.
 
For those who have already received interview invites, which campus did you choose as your first choice? Has anybody have an interview at St. Luke's campus yet? Thanks.
 
Agh!!! FINALLY finished the secondary but now it seems to be broken!!! The essay prompt (and my essay) appear FOUR TIMES on the essay page, then the two other questions appear normally. Now it's saying I haven't finished so I can't submit!! But it's all there x4! Anyone else have this problem?? I guess I need to call them 🙁

Yeah, others have complained about that. Did you try refreshing the page and logging out and back in? Whatever you do, make sure your essays are at least saved in MS Office or something.

Also, does anyone know how to change the order of the clinical campuses?
 
Grats...when did you submit and were complete?
 
Congratulations. I guess I am passed over here then 🙁. I was also complete about two weeks ago.

Noo! Hope is never lost. For instance, I submitted my secondary a month ago, I just had to wait for my LORs to be in. So it's possible that I got processed before you, and that your interview is coming this week.

Nevertheless, you can get an interview at any time. I was reading through MDApps last night and saw an applicant who ended up at Vanderbilt... and they didn't get their interview invite until December (the vast majority of people get them in August/September). So, like I said -- hope is never lost!
 
Congratulations to the next set of interview invitees! I'm still under review here, currently.

Do they only send out interview invites on Mondays? It seems that way.

Perhaps? Not sure. I've noticed based on the people posting that a lot of schools just give some invites everyday. haha so we'll have to wait and see!
 
Interview invite early this morning! (Could have been that way since yesterday though!) - I had to check the status online and did not receive an email about it so MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR STATUS frequently :luck:

I was complete VERY early by the way - I think 7.11 or 7.12 so do not worry those of you who have not heard yet!

Stats (since you might ask?): cGPA: 3.55, sGPA: 3.52, MCAT: 34Q

I really like this school - :xf:
 
Interview invite this morning, pretty excited. Did anyone else have to call the admissions office to set it up? I thought you could schedule it online but it just tells me to call them. Any idea how far the open dates go back?
 
Just got an interview here! 9/23
:soexcited:

My sister went to medical school here and loved it.

Complete around 7/19
3.3/34Q non trad
 
I've been neurotically checking my status for this school since everyone says there's no email. I should probably stop - with my 29 MCAT and 3.7, I don't really foresee an interview for another few months... unfortunately!

Still keeping my fingers crossed. Congrats to all those who already have an (or many) interview(s)!

:luck:
 
When I called the choices were:
9/16, 9/23, 9/29, 9/30, 10/6, 10/7

I checked my status online, saw I had an interview invite, clicked on the schedule interview tab and it told me to call.
Later, I also received an email.

The e-mail for me came a day later actually. In fact you need it because it explains the interview day to you! I would not worry, you will get a notice about the interview either way. The waiting is super hard, but you will get some interviews soon!
 
Did anyone have to send a letter for institutional action? This seems to be the only school requiring this...

Thanks for the encouragement, Evergrey! :bow: I hope your interview goes VERY well!
 
There is an Email. So don't stress out about checking every five minutes. Granted the status may update before the email comes.........
 
Goodluck glasshalfMD!!! We're applying to alot of the same schools and your stats are fine i think :luck: - hope it all works out for you keep us updated!

Thank you!! SDN is great: people like you to make a girl feel good about her application, and fellow neurotic souls to empathize with. :laugh: I look forward to seeing how this app cycle goes for all of us. I wish you all the BEST of luck!

:xf:
 
Congrats to everyone who has interviews here! Do you guys know whether the applications for St. Luke's hospital are handled separately from the rest since the interviews will be held there? Have both sites already offered interviews? Thanks

I got an interview for St. Lukes. Checked the status, no e-mail.
 
I've been under review at Temple for so fkn long! I actually clicked on the button next to under review today that says "explain this status". Their explanation was "Your application is under review with the committee".

Anybody else tempted to use the fresh prince lyrics for their secondary essay?

I was, but then I was thinking I'd be one of the guys up to no good, starting to make trouble in the neighborhood.
 
I was tempted to say that I was interested in Temple b/c I wanted to meet Will Smith or attempt to build up street cred.

what?

If this is a reference to Fresh Prince then Temple is the heart of North Philly... if you wanted to use the 'meet Jazzy Jeff' card then you should have said UPenn, its actually in west philly (sorta)

But yea i have been under review for ages now, and this was one of my first apps sent in. I was prob complete like 7/23 or so; maddening wait

Srsly.

And yeah, I submitted 7/21, I think. *Taps foot*
 
I got an invite yesterday through email at St. Luke's! Have to call to schedule an interview. What dates are your interviews for those who received an interview at St. Luke's?
 
Got an "interview invite" status on the temple website earlier this week, no email tho. Called to schedule an interview, all seemed ok.

Two days after scheduling, I get a call that it was a mistake in the system and no decision had been made on my application yet. No more interview 🙁
