Interview tomorrow! Any last tips?
The faster route from the med school is to go up one block to Washington, take the SL4 to south station and hop on the SL1 to the airport. Going down mass ave to get onto the green line just takes longer. Plus I know personally, at rush hour you can walk faster up mass ave to the green line then the bus is able to drive through traffic that way.

Interview Invite!
Complete 8/17
30-day email 9/16
Interview scheduled for January 😀
What is the format of the interviews here like?
received an interview invite today. complete way back in august, had believed it was silent rejection for a while.
I am complete since 1.10.2012 and no news as of 1 minute ago !
I was wondering if people who have applied the same time as me received II or rejection letter.![]()
II this morning! Complete early August
Just finished the interview day! I definitely enjoyed it and Im hoping to hear some good news in January ...but according to Dr, Witzburg, it is unlikely lol
Lol, unlikely you'll hear good news, or unlikely you'll hear in January.
but a lot of people get deferred to the second round it would seem
Good news = acceptance. Not deferral. Plus, if/when you get deferred, you are now competing against even more interviewees.
Hmm I know Dr. Witzburg mentioned that around 2/3 will have been interviewed for the first round, and those who were deferred will be competing during the second round against a similar amount of interviewees as the first round. This could make sense given that the vast amount of students are rejected from the first round...I believe I am remembering this correctly because he emphasized how fair the process was.

I remember hearing Dr. Witzburg saying this as well. He strongly emphasized how fair the whole process is for everyone.
So I have not turned in my secondary app. Do you guys think it's too late at this point? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I suggest you go to this bar called Parish. Excellent sandwiches, great atmosphere, great bar, and within walking distance of BUSM.
Rejected today,. Complete late OCt (cause of LOR problems)
3.74/34, makes me at 7 rejections 1 II :/
Keep your head up, I looked at your MDApps and you look solid, applying late just slows the process a bit but I imagine you will have good news in your future. With 45k applicants competing for 19k spots every interview matters, and a new school can be a great thing because the school will be entirely what you make of it.Unofrtunately its a II at a new school, which is cool in all, but I just thought this cycle would be different :/
You got a BU acceptance? I thought they don't make offers until January?II today. Complete 8/28. OOS 3.9 35

So guys, my oct interview got bumped to the first week of jan because of sandy. Do you think my decision would come within that first batch? And I'm trying to figure out if my chances have been affected by the date switch, what do you think?😕
No. First batch closes before winter vacation. Mine got bumped too. They offered me 11/26 but I couldn't make it so I took 12/6.

Received an II today. The available dates at 1/7, 2/4 and 2/6. I don't want to choose 1/7 because the flights are expensive, and I have another interview on west coast on 1/3. I know that February is pretty much the end of their interview process. Would it really hurt my chances of acceptance if I interview in early feb versus early january?
