Did it update your message center status thing on their web page or did they only call you? I had to change phone numbers recently and updated through AMCAS but I am wondering if I can check on whether they have tried to call me on there. Congrats on the invite, you are gonna have a lot of options come April.

I seem to have misplaced the link to the "status thing." If you provide it, I will check for you.
 
I'm a UF undergrad and I submitted my primary on 7/11, and got my mcat back on 9/7, but I still have not received a secondary yet. I finished all my other secondaries from other schools over a month ago. I know they screen, but it is my understanding that basically all UF undergrads get secondaries and the screening is mostly for OOS. I know UF is notoriously slower, but it's kindof starting to worry me. Is anyone else in this boat?
 
Sorry to hear about your situation, drbaby, but I strongly suggest you call UF and ask about the secondary.

As for me, I'm hoping for an interview :xf:

Thanks, that's what I'm thinking. I'm buddies with some of the admissions people so I'll give em a call on Monday.
Good luck to you! 🙂
 
Anyone else see the Class of 2015 welcome article? It said 700-800 UF undergraduates apply to the COM each year. That's unbelievable!
 
For those that heard. When did you interview???.
 
I know a few people with the same stats as me that interviewed and were accepted already, but I haven't heard a peep. I submitted the secondary the same week as them. Should I assume that I've been placed on some sort of hold before they decide whether or not to extend an interview? I hope not, as UF was my top choice 🙁. I'd rather not annoy the admissions office with my neuroticism.
 
I just realized I never received a "complete" e-mail. The secondary site says my application is "ready!" -- but I never got an e-mail confirming... did others get a "complete" e-mail?

Yeah I never got a complete email either, mine has pretty much said "ready!" since I submitted it. I called them up to ask about something else and they said my secondary is all set, so I'm assuming they just don't send any emails saying you're "complete" like other schools.
 
Accepted!

Stats: 3.52 GPA
10 8 10 Q (28Q) MCAT
Florida Resident.
9/16 interview date.
 
i was in the same situation and i sent an email asking "if my status says ready but i never got a confirmation need i send anything else?" and they told me something about reviewing my letters then sent me a confirmation moments after that my file was complete. I would suggest asking as they specifically mention that they will send you a complete email but maybe i am too paranoid

Who did you e-mail? I just realized that I sent the same type of e-mail on 9/30 to [email protected] and never received a response.

I just emailed that address last night and they sent me a response this morning about technical difficulties with sending out "completed" emails to applicants, but that my secondary was complete and nothing further was needed.
 
For those accepted, have you received the follow-up information that the acceptance email alluded to?

Nope not yet. If you go one the secondary app site there is a place to accept/decline the spot and pay the deposit though.

Hi all! This is my first post, I wanted to know if you are given any confirmation after paying the $100 deposit? The only record that I have is that the money left my bank account. It appears on the secondary app page as if I have yet to pay.

Hmm mine shows that I paid. If it doesn't show up you might need to call/email the admissions office.
 
I know interviews invites can be any time of the year but does anyone know if rejection letters go out right away once they decide or do they wait until some point or the end of the year? Thanks
 
Interview Invite! Secondary submitted early September.

I'm pretty they said at my date that for now they are only sending acceptance and waitlisted statuses.
 
Interview invite today!

For those of you that interview or already got accepted, any insights in terms of what types of questions they ask? Do they ask about current issues like some schools do (euthanasia, healthcare reform, etc...)? Anything you think might help at all would be great!

Thanks.

do you mind posting your stats and IS or OOS? Thanks
 
HI Creative,

I interviewed at UF last Friday with a PhD and MSIV. Both of the interviews were really relaxed. I would suggest you go back over the application material you submitted, mainly your essays, as that was what we talked about for the most part. To me it felt like just having a conversation, not a interrogation about controversial issues. I didn't get asked about current issues at all.

the two interviews i had could not be any more different. the first one had the typical questions (tell me about yourself, why medicine, strengths and weaknesses, tell me about XYZ activity, etc). the second interviewer probably did more talking than i did haha, but it was very conversational without any of the typical questions. i would recommend practicing how to explain each of your work/activities. otherwise, don't sweat it. i literally said "i don't know" to a few questions and was still accepted (and no, i don't have killer stats). the two interviews are after lunch, so by the end of the day...your feet will hurt and you will be exhausted.

good luck at your interview!

Congrats! It makes me wonder though, because I submitted before you but haven't heard anything. Anyone know if they review in order, or if it's more random?

Thanks! If there's one thing I've noticed so far, it's that this entire process is pretty random. I wouldn't be nervous or anything yet..hang in there 😎
 
Accepted via e-mail! Interviewed 10/14, had a great time. Go Gators!
 
Just got the email... First acceptance!!! Interviewed 10/14!

I did too. I got mine in in late August and haven't heard anything either.

Also, does anyone know if they interview reapplicants later, even if they have above-average stats (>35 MCAT, etc)?
 
Hey,

I have no idea how the selection works, but I am a re-applicant and have gotten an interview invitation [an no, I do not have above average stats...] I have a feeling that maybe my research experience had something to do with it...i did put a lot of thought on the essays...

Interesting. I'm sure there's a lot of serendipity in the process. When did you get your secondary submitted?

Good luck with the interview!
 
Has anyone who has been accepted received anything other than the initial email?? I received the email and a hard copy letter, both said that more information was coming, but I haven't received anything as of yet. I haven't even received any information about paying the deposit, but I logged online and payed it just to be safe...

same here, i have only received the email and the hard copy letter. i didn't even know we had to pay the deposit online until someone mentioned it to me on SDN.

Yeah, I haven't received anything else beyond the email and the hard copy yet as well.

Does anyone know what the "second look weekend" is that they mention in the acceptance letter?
 
Hey guys. I just wanted you all to know that I canceled my November 18th interview and withdrew my app, in case someone else would like to switch to that date. Good luck!
