Interview invite too 😀
CONGRATZZ!! to all of you who got interview invites! I absolutely love this school!
would you guys mind telling us when you were complete?
I submitted my secondary on 8/10 and I see some people submitted on July 30th with interviews so I'm getting a little worried..
throw in your stats if you are feeling generous!

For those of you with II who haven't mentioned it yet, when did you submit?
Received and submitted secondary 7/20
Submitted 7/22
yep
For confirmation of our interview date, it says that we need send an email. The bottom of the email says that not to respond, but there is a link to another page that says:
"To reply to "Mount Sinai School of Medicine Supplemental Application" enter your response in the space below, then click the Submit button."
Is this the page that we're supposed to use to confirm our interview date? We're not really confirming via email then... Or I'm just really slow 🙄

Confusing right? We should call the admissions office to confirm. It would suck to fly to New York only to find out they didn't receive your confirmation 
Yo Raltima! Found this online, but don't know how reliable it is. From 2008:
Total Applied: 6,256
Total Interviewed: 758
Total Accepted: 323
Total Matriculated: 120
(See you there! 😀)

Yay! We have pretty good chances then; almost 50%. I heard there are more acceptances in the early set of apps than later - I hope that is true. I would love to have an acceptance from this school (and top 20 at that) in November!!!
Great luck all
They don't start dishing out acceptances until January, I believe.
YAH! I just finished my secondaries.
Congrats to everyone who got an interview. Perhaps I will be lucky enough to join your ranks.
This is my dream school because I see eye to eye with their objectives.

I thought November...
*double-checks*
From the "MD Applicant Checklist" which is located on the Instructions tab on the Secondary application website:
"Acceptance decisions are made on a monthly basis beginning in January through to the end of the interview season."
Where are you guys getting November from? This document could be outdated. I dunno.
The MSAR.
Been discussed. It's a glitch you can ignore. G'luck!
yeah i have that too, but I think its fine because the top of the page says something along the lines of "we've received all of your letters, don't delete anything." Or something like that anyways. Besides, I'm assuming if that happened to both of us its probably fine.
For the people who were "completed" - do you mean you submitted your secondary on this date or got the email back from mt. sinai on that date? They took a while to send me that thing...about 2 weeks after I submitted. Just curious for when to possibly expect a response from them...

jesus your stats are ridiculous
did anyone figure out where to send the confirmation email?
I actually used the URL at the bottom of the email to send a confirmation message AND I emailed [email protected] my confirmation... It wasn't very clear, was it?
Is there a separate "complete" email, or just the one that says "congratulations! [FONT=tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]You have successfully submitted your online application to the MD Program at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. We sincerely thank you for your interest in our school and look forward to reviewing your application." and then goes on to talk about rec letters?

I have the same question... I assumed we won't get another notification because the email I got right before that (i.e. at the moment of submission) said an upcoming email will serve as "confirmation" that they received the application successfully...
It's a bit vague though because both this email and the secondary website just say "application received" which doesn't necessarily mean a "complete" file...
There is no "complete" email. The strange "confirmation" email is what you can expect.
Also, I wanted to share how nice they were over the phone when I asked to reschedule my interview. It seems like they have some flexibility in the dates 👍
I am so happy about having the chance to visit NY! I've never been to the east coast 😳

where there any friday dates?
When I called to reschedule my interview, the lady in the admissions office said they were interviewing Tuesday-Fridays every week.

Same. Submitted 7/20, never got a confirmation e-mail (but did get several Embark and another "submitted" email), and application page just says "submitted."
Normal?
This is my dream school!!
But I see that it's generally taken a little while after primaries to receive the invitation to the fill out the secondary application.
(I'm on the later side because of MCATs)
Are they sending them in batches, because according to a few different sources, all who complete the primary AMCAS application will recieve a secondary from Sinai.(?)
Also good luck, guys!

😕 What do you mean by this?
I don't think they are sending them in batches. I received my invitation to complete the secondaries in 24 hours. This was on 8/3. I have yet to hear anything from them...which is disheartening because this is the ideal school for me.
I say "batches" because schools like Oregon, have been sending their secondaries out in groups or "cycles," giving each cycle five weeks to complete the secondary before sending out the next batch. Some unfortunate students' secondaries have ended up in junk filters and expiring before they even found out about them.
You say that you got yours already? My application should have been marked completed with the uploading of my MCAT scores on 8/18. I just verified that everything was complete...
There is major miscommunication here.
I thought you were talking about mt sinai sending out secondaries. I don't think they are sending them out in batches because I got mine within 24 hours. May be I made the deadline? Or may be you are talking about the completion email?
My application has yet to be complete....but your has?
I'm so confused.
Ok... forget the batches.
I think I have everything straight now. And to be clear I was talking about the invite to the secondary app. What happened was I submitted my primary before my MCATs were loaded. They were finally loaded 8/17, but even now AMCAS has not verified my application. I've gotten a few secondaries, but I'm guessing that I won't be getting many more until my primary is verified.
When you submitted your primary you already had your MCATs loaded, correct? Maybe that's why you got your invite so fast?
