Great to know I am not the only one!!! Thanks for the input!
Anyone get an updated status email and log on and have nothing change?
Yep. I went from a long block of text saying I'm complete, to:
"Your file is complete, and has been forwarded to the Admissions Committee for further decison."
...And I'm back on the long block of text saying I'm complete. This is getting a little frustrating. This is what happened to me last cycle, and I was ultimately rejected. I get the feeling time is about to repeat itself.
So I have had this status for over a month now:
"Your M.D. file is now complete. The Admissions Committee will now do a comprehensive review of your application. Once the review is complete, your file will be prioritized, and interviews will be granted based on your priority score and the date your file was completed. Please do not call the Admissions Office requesting special dates."
This seems like a silent rejection to me since I have been complete since 7/23. Any thoughts?

I submitted 3 weeks ago, and my letters were submitted way before that. How long did it take for your guys' letters to be matched to your secondary and receive a complete e-mail??
Could someone post the questions from the secondary? I've looked though this thread, but I can't seem to find it. I'd like to start it now since I have about a month until I'll get a secondary. 🙂
Interview invite! Complete 8/17. 3.65, 32, OOS

congrats!
May I ask when is your interview date?
Thanks! 😀
Haven't scheduled yet. But the earliest available date is October 17th.
interview invite! I had the may status recently maybe a week ago?
anyone know if we are supposed to CALL the students to ask if they can host us? or how does that work? it doesnt really say...
From what I have heard from the students who needed hosts so far, they are only given our numbers (not our emails). MCV does it kinda weird in that you're just given a list and you contact us. I'd personally prefer a text over a phone call (at least initially). A simple "Hey, my name is Starstarie and I have an interview at MCV on [Date]. I was wondering if you might be willing to host me the night of [Night before interview]. Please let me know. Thanks!" would work fine. If you don't receive a reply back within a couple of days, then I would call. Do give us a solid 2 days so get back to you, though, as schedules can be busy and we may want to check with roommates and/or our class schedule and personal calendar prior to responding.
FYI, I don't recommend asking for more than one night with a host if you can avoid it. I would also suggest trying to get an interview date earlier in the week and not near any holidays, breaks, etc. when we are most likely to have exams scheduled as you're not likely to find anyone willing to host right before a major exam. (Yes, Admissions schedules interviews straight through exams. I don't even think they are aware of the M1s' and M2s' schedules when they ask us to host.... Or at least, they don't seem to take student hosting into consideration when scheduling interviews.)
Hope that helps. I am happy to consider hosting you if you are in need of a host. Just PM me.

Just estimate your SAT scores.
Also, interview invite today! Earliest date available was October 29th, but I chose November 19th because it is during my Thanksgiving break and I can't take off more school!

i was verified on 8/21 and have not received a secondary yet. is this bad? 3.7/35
CONGRATS! wow I didnt know VCU works on Labor Day weekend. What was your last status? and when did you get that status? Thanks!
Good luck! I will warn you, though, it may be difficult to get a host that weekend as we have exams the first half of that week and you can bet we'll be RUNNING out the door afterward for TG. No way we're sticking around any longer than we have to...
I submitted primary on the first day, wasn't complete until they got my MCAT score on July 24th. I got the may status 8/28 and then an interview invite today.
I never had the further status like many of you guys had.
I am not going to do the host program (unfortunately, I was hoping to talk to the students even more). My girlfriend has family in Virginia and wants to come with me. I don't know if the hosts would be okay with two people staying so I will just get a hotel.
And there is no way for me to get the secondaries now, right? I heard some schools can release the secondaries before receiving the primary.
