Does anyone have a December interview? Just curious because I heard the office is closed/not conducting interviews for at least the latter half of December, wondering what the cutoff date is. I guess it's good news for people with interviews later in the season because it means not that many other people are being interviewed between now and then.

When I was picking a December date, they had the 5th/6th & I think 12th&13th

I'm interviewing on December 13th (Friday the 13th... good omen?)

Best of luck!
 
Anyone interviewing here today?

Sent from my phone.
 
Does anyone know approximately when the interview day ends for the 10:45 group?
 
My interview is scheduled for early February. Do you guys think it'll be more difficult to be accepted by then?

Weird, it felt like more... I'm probably just remembering it wrong. 20 sounds right the more I think about it.

Yeah, I felt like there was more people too. It could have been just that massive conference table that we all sat down at that made it feel larger.
 
I just wrote and sent a really nice loi/update letter to the admissions office. I got an automated email saying they don't accept updates.. Meh
 
I was complete in mid-August (3.65, 32) and I still have not heard back regarding an interview. Anyone else in the same boat? I feel like that is a really long time, but still hopeful that no news may be good news?

I have very similar stats and was complete beginning of August and still have not heard back about an interview either.
 
Complete since mid September. Nothing either, 3.8/32

I was complete mid August and recently received an II so no news might actually be good news for those still waiting
 
Just got waitlisted. Interviewed the 6th. Kinda bummed. Oh well
 
Any MD/PhD applicants out there? Any news? I haven't received any communication since being complete in September.
 
For those already accepted, do you know when we have to send in our final transcripts? As in the latest possible? Thanks

Not until after the May 15th deadline. I think as late as August 2014, before matriculation. No rush. Congrats on the acceptance!
 
Has anyone else who has been accepted applied for or will be applying for scholarships to lower the cost of tuition?. I know that KECK said in email "you will be notified if you are selected for any financial award / scholarships." I dont think my stats merit them reaching out to me to decrease my cost of attendance, but Id like to apply for anything possible, I really want to go hear but have been offered a much lower cost of attendance at another school.
Thanks.! any input helps

Is there a place to apply?

Do any of you know if they offer need based scholarships?
 
Any MD/PhD applicants mind sharing when they have their interview date and when they got an interview invite? I've been complete since September and I was wondering if they are still giving out interview invites or if the silence is a rejection.

Hey,
My secondary was marked complete in September and I received an MD/PhD II yesterday. Stay positive! They're still coming!
Good luck.

I was just wondering this too, since the new year just started and we are all filling in our FAFSA. I also started wondering if there were any hard deadlines concerning housing, transcripts, immunizations, etc for Keck. They seem pretty relaxed about everything albeit the new year just started (I am admittedly neurotic). I probably will give a call to admissions sometime this or next week and I'll report anything here if there is any useful information.

I have an interview invite for this Wednesday. I was complete end of August. 3.79/34. Good luck everyone 🙂
 
Complete 7/22 and still waiting for an II/rejection. Does anyone know if it is pretty much done or if they are still extending invites? Thanks!

That's the quickest interview invite to interview date I've seen here. My interview is in two weeks but I was invited way back in Oct. You live close to the area or something like that? Either way, congrats and good luck. I hear the cookies are great 🙂
