Do you think we should call admissions and see if they are still sending out invitations to interview?

I called a couple of weeks ago; based on what they told me, it seems that they are still are sending out invites to interview. I think they are behind. The last date I saw invites go out on SDN was mid september, so I am pretty sure there is still time. I am still waiting to hear back, too. I am not worried; so many current MD students at Miami interviewed late (December and on) last year.

Also, I think the reason that so many people seem to be on the alternate list is that they have not yet gone through the majority of their applications. At least, that is my guess. So many applicants are waiting to hear back, so it seems with Miami, it is going to be a long ride.

Good luck, everyone!! Keep holding on, just stay strong, we're gonna make it through! (Oh, Glee...)

Who did you speak with? I think I might call next week if I still have not heard anything.

If you do let us know what happens, prolly better that one of us calls rather than all of us...

 

[Nakita]

Who did you speak with? I think I might call next week if I still have not heard anything.

The assistant to Ms. Agnes Murphy, the assistant director of admissions. Unfortunately, I do not remember her name. It was a couple of weeks ago... if you get any updates, let us know! I'm not going to pretend like I'm not itching with curiosity... it's driving me crazy not knowing, to be honest!

 

[FLAPPLICANT]

has anyone heard of any invitations for their peers in the last 2 weeks even?

 

[gunpowder11]

I was complete ~10/6

[Missions740]

Interview invite today for me, applying OOS but both my parents work at Miller, which I'm sure helped me out.

I was complete ~10/6

33R, 3.73 cGPA, 3.59 sGPA

I have pretty much the same stats and im an OOS applicant.

I have been complete since October 3rd. I hope that they give some more invites out soon!!

This really does make me feel better, thanx for posting.

 

[tiktok22]

Hey all!

Don't fret! Just got an interview invite yesterday for the MD/MPH program as well and was complete around end of July. OOS I was offered dates starting next week up to February so it looks like there are still quite a bit slots left.

Good luck to everyone!

Keep preaching the good news this is what I like to hear!!😀

So I got the email last Thursday saying I've been put on the alternate list. Today, my parents got a letter from Miami (postmarked last Thursday as well) saying I've been accepted to Miami and that I was awarded a scholarship too. I am honestly lost in the dark and don't know whether to celebrate since either letter could be wrong. I left a message with the admissions office and will call them tomorrow as well, but has anyone ever in the history of SDN heard of a situation like this? And which should be more trustworthy, the email or letter?

I think this qualifies as one of the most bizarre post-interview stories. I personally have never heard anything like this happening at any school, but maybe you should e-mail Dean Weisman directly since the Admissions staff may also not know what is going on. Hopefully the latter letter is true, and in that case, congrats.

Maybe one was for MD and the other for MD/MPH??

If so, congrats!

Only applied to the MD program. This week-long emotional rollercoaster ride just can't be good for my health, haha.

Well, I'd think a phone call (med student?) would be more likely in error than a letter from admissions!! Sending majorly positive vibes for you!

Same here.
PS- I told my sister about what happened to you, and she offered to sue UM on your behalf for emotional distress.

Haha, thanks for all the kind words everyone! I'll let you all know tomorrow morning what happens.

Wow that sounds amazing if this really is the case...I'm sure there are plenty of other bizarre stories but now you got an awesome story to share if you really get in.

I'm getting very anxious for when our interview day hears back....definitely blown away by the school when I interviewed.

 

[Fresh Prince]

I got an acceptance email this morning! Way to play with my heart like that Miami haha. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Talk about stressful! Congrats!!

Congrats. That's awesome. 👍
Now maybe I should sue them for emotional distress for putting me on the alternate list

 

[izalexzi]

So, who else is anxiously waiting for Wednesday?

 

[WhizoMD]

So, who else is anxiously waiting for Wednesday?

me!.....but I have no rational reason to do so since my interview was about a week ago 😳

 

[topherP]

Congrats!!!
I got an acceptance email as well I think the same day as you. Oddly enough had the same thing happen to me with the financial aid letter before getting an acceptance letter. Hopefully more acceptances coming for everyone else!!!

Sooooo excited to be in!!!

 

[robertch8]

+1...Although I'm not sure they will get to our interview date by then though. Ms. Murphy said our date will either hear back on Wednesday or two weeks later.

 

[Missions740]

I know I posted earlier on this forum that I would call and request information for all of us still waiting for an interview invite.

I plan on calling on Wednesday and posting what they tell me.

Just giving a heads up to everyone in limbo waiting for an interview invite.

 

[GenusTide]

Hi all, new to SDN. My secondary was complete mid October. just wondering if there was a link to check the status of your application or not? I was not sure If I by chance deleted it? BTW congrats on all of you who were accepted. I hope to post the same excitement

[acacac]

I just received an interview invite for Friday the 18th but for md/phd. Good luck to whoever is going to be there!

 

[xATB]

I can't wait for Wednesday!!! This is my top choice school 😀

 

[Cinclus]

Just got an II at 6:58 pm.

 

[handsofblue]

Also just got II, in state, complete 8/1. Gotta start watching those Nip Tuck reruns...

 

[LadyRugger]

Just got an II at 6:58 pm.

Me too! 6:45pm. I really hope I get my first choice for dates because that is really the only time that works!

For those of you that have already scheduled interviews, how long did it take for them to get back to you confirming a date? I would need to change my flight home (which needs to be done ASAP) so I am very eager to get this done.

I got approved for my first date choice within 24 hours of submitting my date requests. I am scheduled for November 21st. Out of state. 31Q. Nervous and excited. My dad got his MD from Miami Miller, so I hope that helps me.

Nice! That is the same date I am hoping for!

 

[imadoctor]

congrats 🙂. when were you complete?

Congrats guys! Are you guys applying for MD only or both MD and MD/MPH? You probably should be able to get your top choice for interviews; for MD and MD/MPH, we had to call to decide our dates but I'm not sure if that's just for MD/MPH since that's a 2 day interview. Feel free to PM me if you have questions. It was definitely a great interview experience for me and I'm anxiously awaiting what happens.

 

[LadyRugger]

congrats 🙂. when were you complete?

I am MD only and I have been complete since 8/9 (though my MCAT scores did not come in until 8/16, so it may be slightly later). It's been a long wait, but I'm glad to finally hear something!

PS - The confirmed my date at 9:30am. 🙂

 

[LadyRugger]

I don't know if anyone else has multiple Florida interviews next week -- but it seems I'll be driving up and down 95 quite a bit. My parents live in the Ft. Pierce / St. Lucie area so I will be driving to FAU Thursday --> home --> UCF Friday --> home --> UMiami Monday --> home --> Orlando Airport Tuesday.

If anyone is along the way, please PM me. I have a car and I'd be happy to carpool during any of these legs to save some gas money.

I'm a complete stranger of course but I live in S Florida...I could maybe host you for your Miami interview. Are you going to be driving from St Lucie to UM the morning of your interview?

 

[blujhae]

Anyone hear back today yet? I'm staring at my email and phone. @_@

 

[ambo007]

All quiet. Waiting as well...

 

[Meaning of Life]

Hey,
Did people get a separate complete e-mail after the secondary?

The last e-mail I got from Miami was a "Your application photo has been received" e-mail on 8/24. Does this mean I was complete 8/24?

Thanks and good luck to all!

 

[robertch8]

So I guess it looks like no one heard back? I know with our date it could be pushed back to 2 weeks from now plus I know we had a huge group at our interview day (maybe that's why they're not done with things early enough where they could give phone calls?).

 

[ambo007]

I interviewed Oct 3.. What about you guys?

 

[xATB]

The committee meeting was today. We should hear back tomorrow. This is what happened for the first round of acceptances on wed oct 26 (committee meeting) and thurs oct 27 (people heard back).

 

[ResIpsaLoquitur]

I am looking to find a student host for tonight...yes, tonight! I was invited to interview yesterday for Nov 11, and unfortunately, I have not been able to reach my assigned student host by email. Does anyone know someone who would be willing to host a very gentlemanly fellow for a few hours until tomorrow's interview? Please PM me. Thanks!
