I'd be coming from shoreline Connecticut. My street just received a mandatory evacuation notice. If I drove, I'd be driving through the eye of the storm (New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland) during the heart of the storm. I think I'm going to tell them my situation and if they can't accommodate an extraordinary situation that is completely out of my hands, then maybe that's an unfavorable aspect of the school I should deeply consider.
sorry, yes. Yeah, I was wondering if they read my letters prior to completion.

Congrats that's awesome
Just withdrew my acceptance here. Best of luck to everyone!
Congrats! When were you complete?
Just called to get my status and I have been waitlisted in the upper 1/3rd and I interviewed October 12th. Is that good? Any idea what kind of chance that gives me?
what the heck. I have called twice, and both times they told me my application hasn't been looked at. I interviewed on the 10th...
do you guys think they would let you know if you got rejected over the phone, or this is their way of holding you off until they send the email?
Hmmm did you call today? I believe they met last night because I called yesterday and they told me to call back today.
I interviewed on the 12th and called today. I was told that no decision had been made and to call back early next week.

Definitely call them! They have later dates, they only gave me 3 options in the email but I called and picked up dec 7th!
For those who interview before, what's the structure of the panel interview? Like who is in it?
It's not really a "panel" that you face. More of a round conference table that you sit at the head of and they sit around. There are 3 of them. Sometimes one will be a student, or all three will be faculty/physicians.
Thanks! That's kinda scary haha
Actually I thought that was the best/most relaxed set up for this type of interview. A true panel interview would have you in a chair (no table) facing them all in a line behind a table. I've had one of those for a job and trust me, this set up is more relaxed 🙂
Rejection email today. Stats in MDapps, but for those who are lazy:
cGPA 3.67, sGPA 3.52, 32S, OOS
Best of luck to those still in contention

could I ask when you interviewed? Thank you very much, and good luck with your other apps.
edit: oooh it seems you didn't interview there. Please ignore. I'm dumb -_-.
I'm wondering this too. Don't wanna call.
anyone interview around the 15th of October and heard back? Do you get rejected by snail mail too?
II today. Declined to interview.
Two DO acceptances, and waiting to hear back from my state MD school (feeling good about my chances).
I ran out of money to go on interviews, so I am calling this interview season over.
Oregon Resident, very non-traditional applicant. 3.6 GPA, 31 MCAT. I have been a high school teacher for many years.
I am sorry that I don't get to come visit this school, and the area. At the start of the interview season I was looking forward to visiting Hampton Roads and seeing some of the historical sites. 🙁
Good luck to you all. I hope that you get into your dream school.

just called the admissions office. I interviewed on 10/10, and I got accepted!!!!!!!! No matter what happens now, I know I'm going to be a doctor (or at least a med student).😀
My stats are: 3.56/3.57/39R/IS

Congratulations!!
Only one member of the panel had my file (the clinician) - he used it to start conversations about volunteer work. But he also stated my various GPAs throughout undergrad to tell the rest of the panel about my upward swing...so those members without my file ended up not being totally blind, haha.
In general, I do think only one person out of the three has your file in front of him/her.
At least two of my interviewers seemed to know at least some things about me. One interviewer has a HUGE file folder in front of her or him, and the other two don't. But the person with my file seemed to have read it but not carefully--he'd made some assumptions that were false and would not have been made had he read my file with a little more care. The other interviewer knew a few key things about my background. Not sure if they all talked about me before I got in there or if they had access to my file at another time.
I would definitely call the admissions office and describe your situation (zero correspondence, wondering about what the status is on your app). After 3 weeks I called and they told me they had gotten it and just hadn't reviewed it. That afternoon I received a secondary.

I just called them. They said I was complete on 9/5 and that I was still under review and that was all she can tell me. So I've been complete for over 2 months now 🙁 They interview through march. I also asked about how many students have been accepted and she said a little under half of the class.
Withdrew from my interview spot on 11/14.
Good luck everyone
Good luck everyone
Has anyone who interviewed the second half of October called and gotten a decision?
Congrats - that's so exciting! I interviewed the week after you, so maybe I'll try calling early next week.
after you guys sent in the acceptance package/deposit, how long did it take to get acknowledgement of it?
According to UPS, my package was delivered Monday, but the check hasn't been deposited yet.

Mine only took a couple weeks. But have since been in post secondary limbo.
I called and ask for an update since my primary was verified and done on Sept 15. I got a rejection immediately afterwards. They said, "Oh, yes, sorry, you're not rejected, we must have considered you but never got back to you. We appreciate it when students show interest." (paraphrased)
Now I'm thinking she meant, "Oh, yeah, totally forgot to reject you. We'll get on that right away."
