I got preliminary review completed yesterday update, but no word about potential II. EEE!!!! Just wanna know!
 
Hey guys, current student here. Feel free to PM me with questions about curriculum, research, match, whatever else. I check the residency threads every so often so I should see it within a reasonable amount of time. We have a wonderful staff and great students. Hopefully I'll meet some of you during your interview session with us. Best of luck!

FIU is actually one of my top choices. My questions:

1. What year are you in?
2. What is the general attitude of the students?
3. Why did you pick FIU?
4. Do they give out sufficient scholarships?

Thanks
 
I just looked and my status reads "Prelim Review Complete", I was complete at FIU on July 28th....

Hopefully I'm closer to an II 🙂

I just called them and they said that they haven't even started reviewing applications. They will start next week so everyone should only have a "secondary application complete" status and no more.

Interesting. Mine most definitely says "Preliminary Review Completed" and was changed to this on 7/29/14.

Hey guys, I had a quick question about the secondary. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like.

Some possibly interesting information contained in a recent email to current students:

"With the school year underway, it is time to start preparing for our next admissions cycle. We will begin interviewing for the HWCOM Class of 2019 on September 8th. We plan to hold 30 interview sessions and will interview a total of approximately 600 candidates. I have attached a schedule for your information."

Do they send you an email when your status changes from secondary app complete to preliminary review complete?
 
Hey guys, sorry if this is a dumb question. What are the dimensions for the photo? I tried to find them online but haven't been able to. Is it 2x2 or 4x6? Again lol sorry if it's a dumb question.

I have no idea what the dimensions are, but I thought I'd mention something else slightly related: they use these photos for your Miami Children's Hospital ID badge.

Some of my classmates walk around MCH with ridiculous photos on their badges of silly cropped graduation photos wearing that dorky graduation cap. It's hilarious (unless you happen to have uploaded one of those pictures).
 
Thanks Shabbaranks. Lol I was thinking of doing 2×2, since those are the actual passport dimensions. Seems like it doesn't matter as long as it is 3 MB.
 
I will have my Secondary Application submitted by tomorrow - does this hurt my chances of getting in - my GPA SCI 3.85 - GPA 3.9 - MCAT 31.... Am I still good for FIU..... Also how many schools should I apply to and by when should I submit the last one considering the deadline for secondaries is Dec. 1 for most schools.

Everyone here on sdn is going to tell you the sooner you apply the better your chances, which I believe to be true. Personally, with your stats I think you should have a great shot at gaining an acceptance to an md school if you apply soon and your ecs are good!

I've been on "secondary app complete" since 7/26, do I need to call or should I be patient? I submitted FAU on like 7/29 and my status changed to "review in progress" on like 8/14 or something like that

I've been on "secondary app complete" since 7/13, if it makes you feel any better. Stuck on "Review in progress" with FAU since 7/16 as well.

oh ok wow that's tough. I just wanted to make sure that was normal and I wasn't the only one. They haven't given out II yet and if they have it's very few so don't be worried!
