Interview Invite just now via e-mail, my first one. Looks like interview spots are full until December.
Are you IS/OSS? When did you submit your secondary?

Slightly below average GPA and MCAT too.
For the school, or in general?
I meant in general - what are Commonwealth's stats? If anyone knows anything about number of students interviewed, accepted, and matriculated, that would be great to know as well!
does anyone have any stats on how many OOS were interviewed or accepted last year? i can't seem to find this.

Sounds like we need to find someone with the most recent MSAR...🙄
Quick question.
Given my stats (included in my signature), should I submit my secondary application? I am debating whether or not to send it in since I am OOS and not competitive with my MCAT score. The rest of my app is solid, and I am URM going into primary care. This is one of two secondaries I am debating whether or not to submit.
Opinion?
Not to be harsh, but given a 5 in PS, I don't think your chances are good... Anywhere. I would recommend retaking that MCAT.

Would you mind elaborating a little on these goals? Thanks!
Btw, glad your interviews went well.

If I remember correctly, they'll send you a link to check your status in the complete e-mail.
There's a thread about it somewhere on SDN. I would give a link, but I'm at work and can't find it at the moment.can you give more info on the mbs program?
does anyone know when the september/october interviewees will be notified of final decisions?
December 19th.
can you give more info on the mbs program?
so far away!!!!!I thought there was an october date? I interviewed Sept 7 🙁
The Admission Timeline says that the first date is Oct 21.
I just got my interview invite yesterday, and the closest interview date is in January!!so far away!!!!!I thought there was an october date? I interviewed Sept 7 🙁
Right, I read the OP as just October interviews. September decisions will be released on October 21st.

After looking at the cost, it's not fiscally sound for me. I live in the south, so taking on ~$60,000 of debt doesn't yank my chains. I was told in the e-mail that I would not have to worry about application fees and I could have my application forwarded over.
Does anone have the numbers of interviewed and accepted students for last year? Or know where I can find them?
Here's some of that info from last year's MSAR:
Number of verified in-state applicants: 816
Number of interviewed in-state applicants: 267
Number of matriculated in-state applicants: 40
Number of verified out-of-state applicants: 3,535
Number of interviewed out-of-state applicants: 270
Number of matriculated out-of-state applicants: 25
Number of deferred out-of-state applicants: 1
Unfortunately, the MSAR only provides the number of matriculated applicants, not the number of applicants who were accepted. Also keep in mind that the numbers should be different this year since they're increasing the class size from 65 to 100, as impermanence pointed out.
Annnnnnd, assuming my math is correct (and it might not be...don't judge 😳 😛 ) and that the 2.5 acceptance/matriculation ratio is what they're using, here's what that translates to in terms of general chances if you have an interview:
In-state:
2.5 accepted / 1 matriculated = x / 40
x = 100 accepted
Chances if you're in-state and have an interview = 100 accepted / 267 interviewed = 37%
Out-of-state:
2.5 accepted / 1 matriculated = x / 26
x = 65 accepted
Chances if you're out-of-state and have an interview = 65 accepted / 270 interviewed = 24%
I hope I make that 24% haha
I don't interview until January
AHH!!! First interview invite! I was complete literally 5 days ago (sept mcats). I love this school. It's close were I live and eventually want to practice. I was about to give up on the whole process. For the late submitters out there... there's hope yet!

Interview Invite yesterday! Earliest available date was mid-January. 31S, 3.6 sGPA, non-trad.
Is there anyway to see if someone cancels their interview, so that someone else can take the earlier spot? I was just wondering because I am scheduled for January 14th, but would love an earlier date.
