Complete. Submitted around a month ago.
When they said that your file is processed, did it take a while for the interview date to appear or it appeared at the same time that it said the file is processed?That's basically what mine says now, too:
Application Status:
NOTE: You may need to scroll down to see all of the status information.
Preliminary application information received from AMCAS: Yes
A secondary application notice was emailed to you on 08/10/2011.
Your secondary application was submitted on 09/14/2011.
Your secondary application has been processed.
Your file was complete on 09/22/2011.
You have been invited for an interview. An email was sent to you with an interview deadline of 10/07/2011.

Hey,It said "Your file was complete on 09/22/2011." until I got the interview invite via email last Friday (September 30). I checked my status page immediately after receiving the email and saw "You have been invited for an interview. An email was sent to you with an interview deadline of 10/07/2010." Now that I've scheduled a date (via email) it says, "Your interview has been scheduled for 10/26/2011."
I hope this helps. It seems that that updates to your status page are immediate with any news. Hopefully after you're processed, you'll hear back from them quickly. It's been my experience that MD/PhD applicants are under review longer (most likely because more people have to review the apps). Good luck to you!
Are the afternoon class and preceptorship always on the same day? Say Monday and Tuesday or something? Or do they vary each week? What do most students do the rest of the Afternoon/evenings? Do they voluteer, do research, or is it mainly studying? Does anybody work part time in addition to going to school?

Saw a batch of nervous faces in dark suits wandering around campus yesterday. Chillax, kids, the interview is the easy part. MCATs and secondary apps are tough. Med school is tough. I'm sure residency is tough. But try to have fun on your interview day!
Does anybody work part time in addition to going to school?
I've heard of people working VERY limited part time jobs and by very limited I mean a few hours on Sunday morning. From the orientation they made it sound like employment is frowned upon. Medical school is your job now.
It's kind of crazy, because you talk to these older docs and a lot of them worked real jobs with real hours in the hospital all through medical school as orderlies, phlebotomists, etc., and that's a big part of how they paid their way through school. Now we're spoiled and we just take loans, simultaneously complaining of how much debt we'll be in
While I'm very glad that "resident" isn't a literal description these days, it's hard for me to be too sorry for docs that had to pay their way with an inflation-adjusted tuition of five or ten grand a year.
Anyone else get anymore interview invites? Anyone who interviewed on the 7th want to provide some insight for those of us still waiting please. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I'd really like if somebody from the October 7th interview day could post about their experience sometime soon
I'm not sure if this is much help, but here was my timeline for OHSU:
Secondary submitted 8/16/11 and marked complete soon after I think.
Interview invite 9/26/11 by email (from a person at OHSU, not from the usual "MD Admissions" email address).
It was reflected right away in the admissions portal, and I responded to the email with the date I wanted. The dates they offered me were October 7th, 14th, 21st, and 26th. I got my second choice (October 14th). I will try to post here after the interview about what it was like.

what do you mean you got an interview invite from a person at ohsu not the usual md admissions? you mean you got a personal interview invitation? i am a little confused by that statement. also, are you an in-state or out-of-state applicant if you don't mind sharing. thank you for the information!
I'm totally speculating here, but my guess is that the MMI is confidential and that people are supposed to keep it all secret. Again speculating, but I wouldn't be surprised if you signed a confidentiality form at some point, or if they consider the whole process confidential anyway.
So let's keep it as general and non-specific as possible when the comments come out. That said, I'm as curious as anyone to know what your interviews are like!
I would assume you are correct.
Interview invite earlier today! But I think I'm going to have to withdraw because of financial/time constraints. Congrats to whoever takes my place, and good luck to all of you!
Does anyone who interviewed the past couple weeks care to give an opinion about the mmi? Harder or easier than the ctraditional system? Do they split up the 9 or do you do all 9 in a row? Thanks for any info!

At OHSU, you can get credit for both clinical and non-clinical electives. You are required to take clinical electives during MS3/4, but you can have up to 8 (I think this number is right) non-clinical elective credits.
II 10/14!
OOS marked complete 9/12
Anyone have recommendations on wheres a good place to stay?
Invite this afternoon! Woot!
I'm waiting on a couple of post-interview decisions, but this is by far the best single piece of news I could have gotten today!

You can do the host program. I know a lot of my class expressed interest in hosting an interviewee.
Just received an interview invite today; does anyone know where can I find more information on the host program?
OOS, interview dates possible: Fri 10/21, Wed 10/26, Fri 10/28
You should get host info in Katy Guertin's confirmation email.
And they're not kidding around with the last minute dates, are they? Four days! (I'd figured maybe it was in in-state thing, but if you're OOS and not just over the border in WA or something, I guess not.)
Northern CA. Not too bad - I can drive it in a day.
Congrats!Invite this afternoon! Woot!

Oof. My sympathies. Unless you're up by Shasta, that's a brutal day. SF --> PDX at relatively legal speeds is 10-11 hours.
All the people who got interview invites, how long were you complete for before you got an interview invite?
i feel like a lot of people posting on this thread are OOS. any IS interviewees? I was really hoping my IS status would help me get an interview, but haven't heard anything yet (complete 9/7).
for those who already interviewed did they mention when they would start giving out acceptances after interviewing? do they doing it on a rolling basis etc?
I'm OOS, but on my interview day I think 5 out of the 8 people were IS. So, I would definitely say that your IS status should help you get an interview.
There are only 8 people per interview day?!
