Dear david06:
Congratulations! On the basis of an initial review of your application materials, the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Admissions Committee has asked me to invite you to complete our secondary application and to schedule a personal interview.
We ask that you submit the secondary application before scheduling your interview. You may schedule your interview by entering the IRS (Interview Reservation Scheduler) after submitting your secondary application. Instructions for entering the Interview Reservation Scheduler are on the secondary application. A visit to the medical school campus will afford an opportunity for you to meet with students and faculty. Recommendation letters should be requested by the time you submit your secondary application.
On your interview day, please report to the Medical School Admissions Office, 215 Light Hall. If your interview is scheduled for the morning, please report to the Medical School Admissions Office by 8:30 a.m. If you are having an 8:00 a.m. interview, please report at 7:45 am. You will have an Information Session at 11:15 a.m. and a tour of the medical school conducted by our students followed by lunch. A tour of CELA and the Children's Hospital will be given at 2:15 p.m. Your day will end at about 3:00 p.m.
You may access the on-line secondary application and monitor your application status at the web address:
https://admissions.mc.vanderbilt.edu/md/applicant/app_logon.asp.
Your User ID is MDXXXXXXYZ. Your password is AAAA. (where XXXXXX are the first 6 letters of my last name, Y is my first initial, Z is my middle initial, AAAA are 4 seemingly random numbers)
We look forward to meeting you and learning more about you, and sharing with you why Vanderbilt is such a unique place to complete your medical education.
Sincerely,
John A. Zic, M.D.
Associate Dean for Admissions
