LMFAO. Just submitted secondary.
I did call them up. ADCOM was kind enough to say I wasn't really late. Middle of the pack.
I'm guessing it will take a while to evaluate....that secondary was hella long.
same boat, I just submitted last week.
Here's hoping! I absolutely love Loyola. I went to LUC for my undergraduate way back in the day and loved their philosophy.
Fingers crossed!
Hey Loyola applicants,
I'm an M2 at Loyola, and I just wanted to remind all of you of another resource for applicants. Loyola has a student run Facebook page which was first developed as a medium through which medical students could answer applicant questions. We also hope to provide you with an accurate picture of what is like at Stritch through the eyes of current students. Take a look!

I submitted the sec last week. OOS. 34 mcat and 4.0 gpa. Do I stand a chance?
Your GPA is too high, they don't accept 4.0. Sorry!
Hold. Submitted a month ago.
How do they let you know that you are on hold?

Status update.
Just got an interview invite! I have an area interview in mid-November and I asked them last week! Very quick turnaround! I was complete on 8/9...
Good luck to all!
Congrats! Hopefully they're kind to me as well (7VR lmfao but 14BS, 12PS and 3.97
)I'm not sure if this has been posted already, but I found this on youtube today. Thought I'd share! 🙂

"The Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing broke ground in spring 2011 on a new $26 million building where student nurses will learn alongside medical students from the Stritch School of Medicine...The Center for Collaborative Learning, which will connect the nursing school to Stritch School of Medicine, will include a clinical simulation area with a six-bed virtual hospital where nursing and medical students will learn together using their clinical skills in a controlled environment."
This looks really awesome and looks like it opens in the fall of 2012! Do any current medical students know how this is going to change/improve upon how the students learn at Stritch?
We are REALLY excited about the new collaborative learning center at Loyola. The coolest thing that future stritch students should be excited about is the virtual hospital that will be apart of the new building. It will be built like a clinical skills center hospital. And medical students, nursing students, and other health professional students will have to work together like real doctors and nurses in the simulated hospital situations. I am really excited about the chance to do full hospital simulations before rotations (as a first year, they said that the building should be completed by the beginning of my second year). 👍
OOS still waiting to hear back for an II. Secondary submitted around 8/20.

My secondary was submitted on 8/20 also and a few days later my status changed to "We have received all required information and your file is under review with the Committee on Admissions" and has been unchanged since

I had that for 1.5-2 months before my status just changed to under review a week or so ago... 😀

Yep, that's where I've been stuck for about 2 months and counting...

Does that mean they already reviewed it and they are re-reviewing it?

When were you complete? What are your stats?

Yup, I got that status. I hear on other threads that many applicants with this status get interviews eventually...we'll see how it goes!

Weird because I'm pretty sure I already had the complete and under review status.

Application status:
- Your file has been reviewed by the Committee on Admissions. The review process is continuous from now until the conclusion of our interview season in mid-April. If you are granted an interview, you will be contacted by phone and/or e-mail.

I think that this is a kind of hold. It at least means that they have been through your app once. That being said, it definitely is not a death sentence. I saw someone post that they had that status until February, and then subsequently received an interview and an acceptance.

Yes, I've had the same status. I'm REALLY hoping it's not a terrible update :/

It seems mostly likely a hold email. Typically many schools have this, but it could be a good thing. at least you are still in the process,and maybe those interviews will be coming soon. I think many schools will start sending more invites after October 15th.... Good luck guys 🙂
I've been pending review for almost 2 months now.

I have also had this status update for awhile. I'm optimistic though.

Hope you're right. I need an excuse to visit Chitown.
I was complete August 24th and I think I've been under review since then.
I'm now "has been reviewed". ruh roh.

I'm still trapped in the under review limbo. Maybe we will hear news next week.

Congrats! Hopefully they're kind to me as well (7VR lmfao but 14BS, 12PS and 3.97)
I got interview here two weeks ago with those very similar numbers..yeah 7VR too haha. They like to take a big picture approach and seem very personable so they didn't even ask me about it when I went there!..unlike this one school I went too =(
