does anyone know how late CMU offers interviews? kind of a stupid question, but just curious
I just called and they said that they are still reviewing secondary applications and still extending interview invitations. Interviews go until Feb. She also said that everyone that hasn't heard should hear soon...
Which, now that I think of it, isn't actually good news considering it is January already - my brain is still in December - and their interview season is almost over. If anyone does get a II this late in the game will you please share with the rest of us to give us some hope?
I interviewed in Jan of last year, which will be earlier than you will be able to get an interview. Waked in, interviewed, and they told us outright that the acceptance quota was pretty much filled. My application was put on hold, and then rejected sometime in the summer.You'll be fighting for the waitlist if you get an interview.
+1. Just rejected pre-interview as well. Thought I had a decent chance here so I'm a little shocked. Non-trad. 28 MCAT. 3.5 cGPA and 3.2 sGPA with high upward trend the last 2 years of college. 5+ years of research, worked two jobs in undergrad, 100+ volunteer hours, had several random ECs and emphasized primary care interest as well.
Sorry to hear this, best of luck elsewhere! Mind divulging when you submitted?
I was complete since the beginning of September

Does anyone come off of the hold list? Or should I take it as a polite rejection?
That will happen sometime in May, and no I haven't heard of anyone come off the hold list because generally they have enough people on the waitlist.
I received a packet in the mail from them yesterday. I believe the date is April 9th.
So I may receive mine soon 🙂
Did your packet say the date? My packet didn't include a date...but April 9 sounds like a good approximation.
I am still waiting for that package.....
Yes, there were 4 pieces of paper in the packet and a Financial Aid Brochure. One of the papers had the "2015 Admissions Timeline" on it....which included second look day (April 9th) and other things like CMED Scholarship Application Deadline (March 16th) etc.
You guys will be going to second look day? If you do let me know maybe we can cut the expenses.
II today! Lizzy m 65, is, complete in September🙂

When is the orientation/when do classes begin? I am on the waitlist and curious in case I am accepted (fingers crossed)
got an invite this morning
so from what I read, I will be basically interviewing to be on the wait list?
oh i meant from what I read on the forum, it looks like getting an interview this late means I am interviewing to be on the wait list.
Ah, I gotcha. You never know though, each school is different. Congrats on your interview and good luck!
stats?
26 MCAT, 3.6 c, 3.7 sci. 500+ hours volunteering, and have completed my own research.
I think you have a high chance. Most people withdraw in March/April.
I was waitlisted back in October. Any idea if there's some kind of order in accepting applicants from the waitlist?
There's no ranking per se, but there is a priority waitlist. Apparently, this is like a guaranteed acceptance from what I've heard. The rest on the waitlist have no order but they will be evaluated based off of submitted materials. These are just things that I have heard from various people.
Anyone have any idea about waitlist movement in numbers from last year/when it will start this year?

Did anyone get the directions/address of the ii for this friday 2/13 yet? My ii date was confirmed on their portal and that they would send an email but I still have not got it yet. I am guessing I will call them tomorrow but I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.
I haven't gotten the informational email either. But I'm confirmed too. I'll let you know when I get mine!

I just got the confirmation email! Hope you did too.
I have no idea, I submitted my secondary back in mid-August and still haven't heard jack. I called them, said the last interview is to be held on Feb 20th. So I asked if I should assume that I'm rejected, she said "if you still haven't heard from us, then that's good news". I'm not sure how 10 days before the final interview date with no II indicates good news. I'm Canadian maybe that is why they're taking forever, jeez USMD schools are allergic to Canadians, like we're labelled with "handle with caution".
yeah I did I will see you on Friday 🙂
I just got an ii this past Friday (2/6), and they had dates for this (2/13) and next Friday (2/20). So it is still possible to get an email from them a week before.
So this means that large % of people still waiting to hear back will get interview for last date? Can't be? or can it?
