Is it anything to worry about that I submitted my secondary at the beginning of the month and haven't received an interview invite yet?

Complete Mid-July, 3.84 overall, 3.83 BCMP, 33P

I have not received an interview invite either. This process is making me crazy, but let's try not to worry together 🙂

Procrastinating so hard on this one... the secondary just makes me cry with its "give me the same thing that's in your AMCAS primary only with STYLE also list every single other thing you've ever done"ness.

Does anyone know If the adcom is looking for minorities that speak 2 languages? I am OOS so I was hoping it might help my chances of getting in.

16th, I want to have it ASAP. Plus I need it on Friday.

To answer the other guy, my file was complete August, 4th.
 
How do you guys check your app status? After you sent your photo your application is complete right? And the interview invite was sent through email?

No website to check status. Interview came through email.
 
First of all, good luck to everyone applying this year! I'm a second year here at UM and absolutely love this school! Please feel free to send me any questions that you may have, and I'll try my best to help out.

The way I see this is that you should look at the secondary as an opportunity to tell the AdCom about all the things that make you an awesome candidate! Remember, when it really comes down to it, you are your only true advocate in this application process, so it is your job to sell yourself to the AdCom and make them see why you are a good fit for their school (of course, this applies to any school you apply to).

I think that any school, including Miami, would view this favorably!

Weirdly, I know him...very distantly. I was shadowing some doctors at Jackson Memorial, and because it was the start of the year, this also allowed me to interact with third year medical students as well. He was very helpful, and seemed enthusiastic about the surgery rotation. I think he is a fourth year now. I wonder what he eventually decided to pursue.

For those of you that got interview invites... did anyone confirm that you were complete? I e-mailed a while back to ask if I was complete, and I was told once I sent a photo I'd be complete... I did that and got a "thanks!" but never received an e-mail that says "your application is complete" -- what about others?

Interview Invite! My first one...so stoked! One of my top choices too! Was starting to lose hope after not receiving any interviews last cycle.

OOS, 31, 3.8

congrats👍 I chose 9/16 for first preference 9/19 2nd.
 
Congrats! I chose 10/14 and 9/30. Need to prepare for the interview and the trip.
 
Interview invite via email! OOS 3.8 GPA, 34 MCAT; Completed 7/11😍
 
Just got an invite today too. I selected my top 3 choices, hoping for 9/30 as I have 2 other east coast interviews within a week of each other so I'd like to avoid multiple trips out there. Has anyone gotten confirmations back yet after selecting the desired dates?
 
Interview invite here too!

Hey!
I received an e-mail last week saying they'd scheduled my interview for X date, and that they'd send an official confirmation within the week. I wouldn't worry too much if you haven't received one yet though; I had a few extenuating circumstances involving trip scheduling.
 
Ya but I need to know whether my first choice for an interview date is approved or not so I can book my flight to Miami. I'm planning on knocking out 3 east coast interviews in 7 days....so I need them to confirm me ASAP!
 
Just got scheduled for the 16th -
 
I will be at the 9/16 interview. Good luck everyone, see you there!

Anyone get an invite for MD/MPH yet?
Click to expand...

yes - im an oos the md interview is on friday and the mph interview is on tuesday at the regional campus in palm beach. the interviews are usually scheduled on two consecutive days, but i asked specifically for the dates I got. they did give me a list of the MPH interview days, however, here they are:

MPH INTERVIEW DATES:
September: 20 and 27
October: 4 and 25
November: 15, 22, 29
 
are we supposed to get a response when they have received our photo / when our app is complete? and if so, how long did it take? (to get the response to our photo email)
 
For those who have been getting interviews...mind telling us when you guys were complete?
Thanks!!

Okay, good. I scheduled my interview yesterday and I was wondering when they would send the confirmation email.

Btw, for those who were asking, I am a MD/MPH applicant and I was complete on 7/22. OOS.
 
To valleityx: I got my confirmation within a couple hours but this was back in July. Perhaps, they weren't so swamped with emails then.
 
well those interviews must take years considering how long that secondary was haha. i feel like we could talk about my whole life in there!
 
II here!

scheduled for sept 26/27 (2 days for MD/MPH).

are there any M1's on here that are currently in the MD/MPH program and would like to share their experiences with the interviews and/or with the program in general?

thank youuu 😀
 
For those wondering...

Complete E-mail: 7/13
II: 9/8
 
Headed to Miami - Good luck everyone interviewing tomorrow👍
 
Heading to the med school campus in 16 hours for my interview! Wish me luck!
 
Interview Invite for MD/MPH program!!!! Complete 8/9. Don't know when I'm going to go yet, but I'll think about it this weekend. Pumped to get to go back to Florida (specifically Miami) twice!
 
Had my interview today! It was fantastic! It really depends on who interviews you. The questions were not tricky or difficult. Best of luck to you all!
 
lowest interview stress ever. only one interview and the majority of the time we spent talking about subjects other than my application. goo luck to the rest of you!

How was the rest of the day and all outside of the interview? I'm still stunned that I got an invite to the MD/MPH program earlier today; this program definitely feels like the perfect fit for what I want to do.
