REL, is the weekly review of the EFI pool done in chronological order of reaching EFI status, or a further stratification of applicants?

Once in the EFI pool everything is reviewed based on consistency of demonstration med motivation, humanism, teamwork, leadership, research, unique traits, etc, metrics, as well as amplifications provided in essays and supplemental application. Once in EFI it is all about the perceived "fit" for the program.

I am glad you look at the applicant as a whole!!
 
Anybody hear anything today? Would love to interview here!
 
got EFI, what percentage of efi get ii? or is a like small pooled, where there is still a big cut before the ii?
 
REL said:
Mee too!!! Hmmm, if I were to hazard a guess it would be in the ~30-40% area....

Ouch, I was really hoping for a higher number there. I'll keep my phone charged anyway 😉....positive thoughts
 
I was look at last years thread and it REL mentioned that there was about 1000 apps with EFI and they offered about 450 interviews. So ~40%
 
Awesome! I can't wait to get an interview here! it's my favorite thread to visit on sdn.
 
Are there particular days of the week on which UCF extends interview invites?
What about days when they will be holding interviews?
 
I got the call today!!!!! I was so excited, I could barely contain myself on the phone 🙂
 
Got the complete email last night... C'mon, EFI! 🙂
 
Received an II!! 3.8/34 🙂 Super excited as I've only heard amazing things about this school!
 
Congrats. Some news today. Otherwise, super quiet thread.

This seems like a lovely day for UCF to make interview invites. Let me just turn on my phone to be ready. You know, just in case. (good luck to all)

Some are optional:
1) If you do not expect to spend the academic year enrolled in an academic program, please explain how you will use this time.

2) Please provide details regarding academic difficulties, grades below “B minus”, or course withdrawals.

3) Do you have any information that you would like to share with the UCF COM Medical Student Admissions Committee that has not already been addressed in your AMCAS application? You may also use this section to include information about your family, personal interests, hobbies, and travels that have not already been discussed in your AMCAS application. Please provide details about NEW information for the Committee to consider to include information about your family, personal interests, hobbies, and travels that have not already been discussed on your AMCAS application.

4) Please provide a short essay to help us understand who you are. This essay should be different than you AMCAS Personal Statement. UCF COM places great value on the diversity of our students within the classroom and believe that the diverse characteristics of each individual in the class are important factors in serving the educational missions of this school and of our community. Please discuss any unique, personally important and/or challenging experiences in your background that have influenced your goals and preparation for a career in medicine and service to others. These may include experiences such as the quality of your early educational environment, socioeconomic status, cultural background, or other significant events or circumstances that you feel have shaped your character and defined you as an individual. We are also interested on your thoughts about what you can contribute to your class and the medical profession in general. (2 pages, single spaced)

I think there were some other short questions about describing any new activities involving community outreach, leadership, research, etc.

It's 2000 char for everything except the main essay prompt. I forget if that has a hard limit on it--I didn't write a full two pages so I didn't pay close attention to it.
