Haven't been home to check yet. My portal still says "under consideration." 🙁

accepted!!!i haven't gotten my letter in the mail, but my portal changed this morning.
After being wait listed last year, i have been waiting so long to be able to post this. I am so elated right now.
congrats!!!
Congrats! I hope to join you soon!
Congrats!!!! I'm in the same position you were, wait listed last year. People think its tough to wait for two or three months after their interview..try waiting 1+ year.
Congratulations, again. the hard work has paid off!!
Yeah, it doesn't quite seem real. I still feel like I need to start studying for the MCAT for a third time or something. Haha. And thanks, that was a brutal year and a half of waiting... Good luck to you. Hopefully this week holds some great news!
my portal still says "under consideration" and it seems like they've already updated them. Oh well, what's one more month, ha!
Can I ask what you did this fall/year to improve your app and what your gpa/MCAT were?
Thanks!
Dang, I hate that it's a whole month before there is a chance again. It's brutal.
My MCAT score was my biggest improvement. Last year it was a 27Q. I re-took it and got a 32S. My GPA is 3.65. (I took one class this year but since grades aren't in yet my GPA didn't change at all from last year to this one) I am non trad and did a year of AmeriCorps, which led to a full-time job that I have now. My interviewer seemed to really like that as well.
Good luck and hopefully one more month is all it takes!
Once in a while I log into my portal just to see the green letters "Accepted" at the top. Always makes me smile! 😀
Good luck to all those still waiting for the good news!
Good luck to all those still waiting for the good news!

I got them this morning.
This happened to me as well. You have to call the admissions office and they will fix it for you.
This was a post of mine last month. I called and this was what they explained to me.
I don't think you need the portal because you are mailing in your campus preference form right?
I don't think it's necessary at this point. It's just a way to keep track of your health forms, background check, transcripts, etc.. There hasn't even been a section for "Campus Preference" on my portal, and I've already been assigned to a campus. I've heard others have had boxes saying the status of their campus preference, but I called the office and they said that it doesn't matter either way as long as you mail in the campus preference form.
Call after the holidays, but again, don't forget to send in that preference form! 👍
Same here. I really want to stay where I am in Indy but it just seems so risky and I don't really wanna wait until May to know for sure either! 😱
Hey everyone, I'm sure it's been covered but I was curious what percent of the accepted applicants get their number 1 choice of campus. Moreover, what percent go to Indianapolis?
Thanks in advance guys!
Thanks in advance guys!
~65% who choose Indy campus get into it.
The placement rate at the other campuses is much higher. If you get accepted early in the cycle and choose a regional campus, you are almost guaranteed to get the one you want.
They take the highest composite MCAT score--they don't mix-and-match sections.
Just canceled my interview here due to lack of funds. I hope somebody else gets it. Good luck everyone!

I'm OOS and was accepted in November - but I went to IU for undergrad.
I got accepted in November also.
I've interviewed twice (two application cycles), both were just as you described. There were two interviewers (although sometimes I've heard only one if one of the docs can't make it), they will have your file with them, all in all, very low key. There will be some typical canned questions, if anything is different about your application, be sure you can easily answer questions about it. I got a couple of ethical questions once, but nothing will be totally out of the ordinary. Both of my interviews were around 45 minutes.
Good luck!! The hard part is over, all the work is done that got you to this point, now you just have to talk about it for a bit.
I interviewed this year and I was assigned 2 interviewers, but only one was there that day. The interview was really laid back and lasted about 45 minutes. There's only one interview--it may be 2:1 or 1:1. You'll get the names of your interviewers at the beginning of the day when you check in. Make sure you get to your interview spot early just in case you get lost on the way. It's a chill interview day. Just know your application well and relax!
Not I
How do I access the portal? I interviewed at Gary on the January 9th but I have no idea how to check my application status.
Thank you!!!
Got back a little while ago from an OOS interview and found the IUSM acceptance letter in the mail! I'm def praising the Lord! I hope you guys all hear soon too!

Interview invite!
congrats!! when did you interview? how close to Indy do you live?
Thanks! I interviewed back in Sept. I'm about 150 miles from Indy.
did your portal status change?
Just checked and it hasn't changed. The portal still says "Under Consideration" even though I have my acceptance letter. I guess there's a delay in updating the portal.
