I wonder, did the invites all go out at the same time?
We'll see. I've been under review for since mid-July and have yet to hear anything. Have not gone on the supposed hold. Hoping to get an interview soon

Congrats! Glad to hear your status changed back and forth too. When were you complete?II 🙂
I was one of the people who's status changed from "has been reviewed" back to "under review" so don't lose hope!!

II today! Complete second week of July.
was your ii via email/phone?
Interview invite this afternoon! I've been traveling all day for a different interview that's tomorrow so I didn't see the email until now (and the lady in charge of scheduling also left me a voice message!).
So excited for this interview. 🙂 3.7+/30+/Catholic undergrad.
Edit: complete around 7/15 (when my letters were marked as received).
For the question about the experimental treatment... are we supposed to assume the patient is a minor? Or, should we include a discussion of the patient's age/legal status as part of our discussion?
hold. anticipating a rejection in like 8 months...
When were you complete? Was it an Email or just a status update?hold. anticipating a rejection in like 8 months...
I was wondering about this as well... my first thought was that the patient was not a minor and that it ultimately wouldn't be the parents' decision, but I'm not sure if they want us to address multiple perspectives or just state our assumptions for one scenario and roll with it.
For the "Describe a valuable experience in your personal development. This might be a decision you have made, an achievement of which you are particularly proud of " question, how did you answer it? Is it asking for me to talk about my shadowing, volunteering, research position etc or getting an A grade in a course.
II just now via email and phone call
OOS, complete 8/8
Me too! First got the vmail then saw the email! Im flabbergast!!!!!!!
IS; complete 7/18; "under review" the entire time
Any current students or those receiving invites want to shed some light on the letters policy? I have 2 science professor letters from a post bacc, 1 PI letter from my PI of two years with whom I have gained 2 first author publications and 1 letter from a free clinic I coordinated a section of.
I don't think these letters qualify for the letter policy? However, I'm also kind of confused about how to "explain" this?
Anyone have any experience or knowledge? Thank you!!!
lol Yeah, good point. This might be a secondary I just don't complete unless I hear success stories from others.Hrm, sounds like you need a letter from a non-science faculty. I had a science professor, PI, writing professor, and doctor I worked with. I'm not sure how you go about explaining not being able to get a non-science faculty letter. Anything in particular prevent you from getting one? Been out of school for a while? Didn't take many humanities courses? Large university and no smaller non-science classes? I dunno. I'm not sure any of those are acceptable explanations but I'm not sure what's an appropriate explanation either.![]()

I don't have a non-science letter because I finished my undergraduate degree three years ago, and it was completed at a large school with large classes where no one cares like that to where I could just email old profs and ask for a form letter even. (to be honest).
Yeah i tried that with a few professors without any luck. Maybe I'll make the broad sweep. Gives me hope that someone was kind enough to help you!I'm in the same boat as you for the timeline after graduation but I got a non science letter by emailing every single teacher I had and explained my situation. Basically I had to beg for one. Only a few schools I have applied to needed a non-science letter so it's just used to appease requirements. If a school doesn't require non-science letters then I make sure to not send it since I know it isn't as good as my other letters. Good luck!
🙁 that kind of makes me sad. I really like Loyola.Found this on SDN: "Just wanted to add in that Loyola and NYMC are 2 schools that are firm in the non-science academic LOR requirement. You can still apply, but your application will be considered significantly weaker (via the admissions office of both schools)."
So we can apply but obviously doesn't look good. I'm going to try to email them soon.

So truth be told, I didnt think I even had a shot with Stritch, but now that Im interviewing, can any current students shed some light on a few things?:
1. Thoughts on the grading system? Does it foster competition/cooperation?
1a. Views on gunners?
2. How are the interviews? Any words of advice?
2b. Statistics concerning percentage of interviewees who get accepted...?
Many thanks!

Nice, thanks for the idea- I really just need a form letter even from a humanities professor for schools like Loyola. Loyola was actually the only school which required humanities that I applied to and I only did thinking I could just explain my situation- but doesn't seem like anyone's had success without one soo...🙁I finished undergrad 10 years ago, so tracking down all my humanities profs seemed like a long shot. And the one faculty member I've kept strong ties with had a ton of health issues this summer, so I didn't want to ask her.
I ended up getting the advisor from my post-bacc to write one. One school I called (U of I) said that would count as a faculty. I don't know how Loyola feels about that, but it might be worth a shot if you can't get a hold of your undergrad instructors.
