This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
REL/People with IIs,

Where can we find info about the interview? Will we receive a confirmation of our interview date?

Thanks in advance!

I received an email about an hour after the phone call. Did you not receive one? If not, maybe try a quick phone call to admissions?

Hmmm not yet, but I got the call around 5pm on Friday so I figured it might get sent today. I'm not in a rush, just wanted to make sure my date is confirmed 🙂. So excited!!!
 
Awesome!! For about how long were you under review?
Thanks! I'm probably a little too excited about this lol; I was an unsuccessful applicant in 2011 (didn't even make it past UCF's pre-screen), so I welcome any and all positive changes to my apps. Really hope an II here is in my future.

It took 14 days for me to go from File Under Review to EFI.
 
EFI today! So excited... keeping my phone nearby just in case!
 
Received an II today! I saw the number come up while I was in a meeting at work and then when I called back they were away from the desk, the anticipation of waiting for the call back almost killed me. Then when they said "Well we've reviewed your file and the committee has question about your application..." I almost died ha. Then they did the invite and I was so relieved and excited I could hardly respond for a second haha. Anyway tentative date of 10/7/13, possibly 9/27/13. OOS applicant, first invite and super stoked to see the school, good luck to all! 😀

Holy...prepare for an acceptance before February 2014! (I don't really know, but I think your app looks exceptional)

Yep, I'm an M1 and currently drowning in all manner of rate-limiting enzymes and allosterically-regulating metabolites in biochemistry.

We're all hoping to be in the same scenario a year from now lol
 
Got the complete email 8/13...crossing my fingers for an EFI soon!
Congrats to everyone with II's!!!🙂🙂🙂
 
EFI today!! Hoping for a certain phone call sometime soon!
 
For those of you who have gotten an EFI, did anyone's review take longer than 15 business days from the time the complete email was received? I am on business day 16 now and a little anxious :/

I found out a little under 15 business days but that doesnt mean that it couldnt take longer. Dont give up hope!!!

I've been EFI for a few weeks now as well. Realize that being EFI early does not guarantee an early II (or even an II at all). There's no set timeline for them to extend an II, as far as I know.

True, but alanstein was asking about how long it took for those who have EFI status to get from File Complete to EFI. This process is supposed to be 15 days.

Mine changed in 14 days, but like others have said on here, I wouldn't get too anxious about that just yet! I think the 15 days is a relatively loose time frame. Why don't you give them a call at the end of next week if your status hasn't changed by then? GL!!
 
So how was your interview day down here in Lake Nona? I hope y'all interviewees liked what we have you offer at this up-and-coming medical city. 🙂

Weeeee 🙂 UCF COM had a segment during the last home game!
 
When might we expect next round of II to go out? Any idea? Very quiet lately.
 
Several yesterday, more today.

REL,
Is UCF receptive to in the area emails? I do not want to bother you guys with another email when I am sure you receive plenty on a daily basis.
 
Good luck on your interview tomorrow BundleofHis!!!!! Hope you enjoy O-town 🙂
