I would like to note that as a non traditional you need to get special permission to use non faculty LoR or professional letters, I spoke to admissions/The Dean and they were not gonna let me use my professional LoR's until they found out I was a nurse (I.e. they wanted letters with direct application to medicine and they were fine with mine for that reason, but stated that if I was an accountant my references wouldn't have been okay and I would have had to try and hunt down old faculty. Fyi for you other non trad out there.

After talking to admissions I think that statement might not be true. It was the dean who I spoke to the first time, as the Admissions Director was out of town when I called.
 
II today! Are the dates shown the only ones available, or do they open up more dates later? There are only 3 right now, but I'm hoping ones the next week might open up.....

Mine only had one option, nothing ever opened up.
 
Complete 8/1
Need to reschedule due to family emergency😢 hopefully I can reschedule
3.7/31
 
How long between "Review in Progress" and II, usually?
I'm anxious!
Has anybody been outright denied? Or do you just get stuck in the Review in Progress black hole indefinitely?

I did not have all of my letters in when I got the interview invite so I'm not sure about the Application Complete email.

I would be shocked if this was your only interview, but congrats man! GL on sorting through all the acceptances, lol!
 
Wow I am so late I just submitted my Secondary: OSS from NY; 30 MCAT 3.5 science; 3.0 overall.
 
My secondary was posted on 8/21...GPA is 3.9, Science GPA 3.9, MCAT 30, Under-represented Minority, weak EC, decent LOR, no research experience, FAU ties....crossing my fingers.
 
Congrats to everyone else who has been accepted!! Have any of you received the acceptance email following the call yet?

I should hear back tomorrow they said! The committee meeting is tonight! Its so weird knowing exactly when they are deciding our fates! But I'd much rather know than not know...
 
Preliminary review finally complete after 3 months. Fingers crossed for an II!
 
Accepted via e-mail! I'm very excited. Congrats to everyone else who's been accepted, and good luck to those of you with interviews coming up!
 
Accepted via email, 10/22/14, ~6pm. Good luck to everyone!

Still no II, but I was complete very late (early September). I'm nervous! This is such a great school, and I'm getting anxious. Anybody know what day of the week they usually call for IIs? This way I can limit my anxiety to one day per week at least, amiright? 😉
