+1 🙁

 

[3rdarmageddon]

Yeah, but I bet you get into a more attractive option, whether cost or location. Don't stress to much. You have a good application.

Thanks, I appreciate it and hope you're right. I'm still not out of the running for Tufts yet though. I'm still hoping for an II. I'm sure a lot of people here know this, but it's just frustrating seeing lots of other people get interview invites when you don't really have any yet yourself.

Good luck to all of you that already have IIs though.

I have 0 II's so things could be worse, I promise.

I'm probably reading far too much into this, but my status has reverted from a message about being in the screening process back to "Your application is ready!". What does it mean???

I haven't heard from a single school in two weeks; the anticipation is driving me insane!

Same thing happened to me...no idea why!

 

[dance13021]

Wait, mine still says "your application is under screening process"

Same thing happened to me...



EVERYONE PANIC!!!!

 

[woodside9]

Wait, mine still says "your application is under screening process"

Mine is still under the "You are currently under screening process" too. I was complete like 5 days ago if that's relevant 😕

 

[follicle]

Ahhhh mine says "your application is ready!" now instead of screening. This sounds bad!!

 

[YouNeverKnow22]

[TheShaker]

Mine went to that message right away right when I submitted. I never got the screening thing.

 

[TheShaker]

Yay, one of the few schools that mark me complete automatically. 🙂

 

[thekay]

[miked12]

mine changed to that too. complete 8/15

 

[skiing]

Complete late august, 3.7, 35, no II.
BUT! I did see that someone from the Tufts University School of Medicine viewed my LinkedIn profile a while back.............

 

[dance13021]

Any more II's since that first wave a few weeks ago?

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

My "MCAT Score Status just changed to "MCAT score not received" and I am no longer "ready for review." Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[MissPraynWait]

My "MCAT Score Status just changed to "MCAT score not received" and I am no longer "ready for review." Has this happened to anyone else?

I just checked my status and it now says that my MCAT score is not received too. It also says my application is not ready but it still says that I am under the screening process. It must be a glitch

 

[MeGoodManIThink]

My "MCAT Score Status just changed to "MCAT score not received" and I am no longer "ready for review." Has this happened to anyone else?

just happened to me...been complete since like mid august..prob a glitch..will give it a day or two

 

[fox916]

I just noticed the same thing on my status page. I received a complete email (2 months ago!) after they received my MCAT scores, so I'm hoping it's a temporary glitch in the system.

 

[Sodium22]

Most likely this. But same here.

 

[wheatthins824]

Just happened to me as well... Maybe a glitch? This process is stressful enough already without things like this 🙁

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

I prefer to think this is their way of hinting at an II, lol.

 

[woodside9]

yeah I have the same "glitch"

I prefer to think this is their way of hinting at an II, lol.

me too.

 

[fumeighan]

Yeah, same.

They did say it was a new application website, so maybe they're working out the kinks.

 

[GrabSlamBoot]

Same deal here. Funny though I still have the green check next to
That I am under the screening process.

 

[FalconSlice]

Similar thing happened with Columbia's status page several weeks back. no need to worry. They all use the same type of application page system.

Same 🙁 I emailed them anyways 🙂

 

[Mosa]

Could anyone post the link to the secondary app??? Mine got caught in spam and was them auto deleted. I'm trying to schedule my interview and can't find how to get to that page

 

[morneau]

When do you get your interview request?

PM'd you

 

[woodside9]

No more glitch today


But no interview invite either

 

[eDITN]

Any more II's since that first wave a few weeks ago?

I'm also wondering this.

If not, I hope there are some more soon!

 

[NHHOPEFUL]

I'm hoping too!

 

[Mosa]

When did you get your II?

Got the invite September 18. Thanks to both users who sent me the link!!

 

[drscholls]

This is starting to drive me nuts. I just wish I would hear something soon. Or I with that all the schools I applied to were non-rolling. At least then I wouldn't freak out every time I see an email in my inbox only to be disappointed when it is some relative catching up...

 

[YankeeLion16]

For those wondering, I received an II in the first wave of invites. When I accessed the II calendar, the latest date I could schedule would be Nov 15. Maybe this means that a new wave will come out soon and more dates will open up?

 

[Ichiban88]

I saw that several people applying to MD/PhD got the MD interview but has anyone received response from the PhD part? And is it always MD interview first then PhD?

Hopefully!

Did you check the Jan and Feb dates?

 

[Got Em]

Received an interview invite on 10/5, interviewing on 11/6. 11/13 and 15 were open dates as well.

Did you apply to just the regular MD program?

 

[Got Em]

Md/mba

 

[Abi123]

Is Tufts responsive to letters of interest?

I have the same question.

 

[YankeeLion16]

Can anyone talk about the interview day? Were the interviews open/closed file?

 

[aps91]

Very much open file. As in one of my interviewers just read through each of my amcas activities and asked for a description of my involvement including number of hours per week.

Thanks for the response--I'll be sure to review my AMCAS in addition to my notes on the school on the plane

 

[SandsOfTime]

"Did you take any leaves of absence or significant breaks from your undergraduate education? (Do not include time off after graduation.)"

I will have been working in a Genetics Diagnostics lab for two years by the time Fall 2013 rolls around...are they saying that this is "time off after graduation"? I wouldn't really call working full time "time off", and it's an important part of my application...so I have no idea how to answer this! It is described on AMCAS and is listed as one of my most meaningful...but still...not sure what to do!

Damsel in distress, here!
