Finally got my complete email today. Submitted end of October. I am keeping my fingers crossed for an interview.
I read somewhere that if they were ranked, based on the schools that are already ranked, they would be 90 or below. But I don't know where I read it, and it could be completely false. The match seems pretty decent http://www.pennstatehershey.org/c/d...5f-2aa7-4738-86d5-e4566610a971&groupId=103698

Nice match list.
And by 90 or below, you mean, over 90 or under 90?
"Dear Penn State College of Medicine applicant:
As indicated to you in a previous email, your application to the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine is complete and is currently being reviewed by the Admissions Committee.
The Admissions Committee reviews all completed applications and evaluates them on a random and rolling basis. The Committee wishes you to know that your application is a high priority, and it will definitely contact you as soon as a decision is made.
We appreciate your interest in the College of Medicine."
Got this today. Is this the dreaded "continue to review" or a different animal entirely?
Anyone have a theory as to why some applications are marked complete within a few weeks and some take months? Are they reviewed prior to being marked complete maybe?
^ i was marked complete about 8 weeks ago.

I submitted my secondary Sept 21, but my primary application was processed by AMCAS after on Sept 23. Still, it has been over 2 months and my application still hasn't been marked as complete by Penn State. It may have something to do with the fact that I am a Canadian applicant. Perhaps applications from U.S. citizens/residents are given priority and reviewed first? Ask admissions, and they'll flatly deny it though.

I would call admissions and ask. These schools get thousands of applications. It could easily be an oversight.
I called Admissions and they said to expect up to 10 weeks for applications to be marked as complete, and that they give email notification of this. I guess I should know shortly, it's been about 10 going onto 11 weeks since I've submitted all my application materials.
I would assume the committee would be making decisions on those who interviewed late October or early November. It's been exactly 6 weeks since I've interviewed (10/28), and I haven't heard from them yet.anybody know what interview dates the committee is making decisions on?

I submitted the secondary on Sept.19th and had my AMCAS verified Sept.26th. I think my letters of rec were a little later (Oct.1?). I have yet to get a complete e-mail and have called multiple times(I had a question about rec. letters b/c I'm in grad school) and each time they assure me that they are reviewing my file and to be patient. I really like this school but it's definitely frustrating.
Got the "Continue to Review" letter on Saturday after being complete since only November 23rd. Sad days, this was definitely one of my top choices. Oh well good luck to everyone else!
They seem to come two weeks after. Do you know if anyone with this status ever gets an interview?
did anybody here interview mid-october and hear back?
ineedadoctor 89-- When did you interview?'on hold' mail post-interview....

Interview invite, OOS. The process does seem a little unpredictable.
Anyone know far off they usually schedule interviews? What has you experience been?

Is there anyone who interviewed at the end of October and heard back?
put on pre-interview hold took them 2 months to make my app complete after i turned in my secondary, but only a week to tell me i'm hold after being complete. anyone have any good experiences with this? my general opinion is that a pre-interview hold is just a delayed rejection...
How long after did you get your letter? I have been complete now for 2 weeks and haven't heard anything at all.
I was complete on Tuesday December 6th and received my on hold letter Saturday December 18th - i'm not sure when it was postmarked because my parents called me about the letter (don't live at home now). But my address is in Michigan so it must have taken a couple days. To be honest that still seems really quick for me (but not exactly the decision I wanted!)
