Was it about 4 weeks out from when you received the interview invite?

I got the date on 8/26 for an interview on 9/10. So no, not exactly 😛

Whoa! That's a little bit short notice for me. How long did it take them to give you a date after you submitted all the info?

I got the initial notification on 8/15. The forms were essentially in the mail that day. I imagine they will be able to give more warning once it is later in the cycle.

Okay. Thanks for all the info!

Hi, quick question. Did you have all checkmarks in your portal when you got the Date? I still have all x's except for the application but the letters I sent ages ago..

They were just updated a couple days ago.

Oh ok, cool! Thanks for the reply. Hopefully I hear soon then 🙂

II! IS, 3.9+, low 30s MCAT. It seems like they're sending out batches of rejections on Thursdays and IIs on Fridays.

Congrats! Receipt date? I think they're inching closer and closer to mine...possibly.

 

[spockprime]

I think they want it by post.

Thank you!

I have a green check mark for all my requirement except for science letter, did this happen to anyone else ? Should I call them or should I just wait? Am paranoid because I assume they received all my letters at once so why would one be left unchecked?

I have no check marks on any of the letters =/. When did you get your II invitation?

Happened to me but for my personal letter. Apparently "personal" authors can't have taught you in any class. So now I'm rushing to get a new letter. Oh well. What can you do?

Oh whaaat. Did you already have your interview?

So you called the admission office and they told you this info?

 

[ADAUC]

No haven't had interview yet

 

[JMU2013]

Just got rejected. OOS 3.55/30

 

[PermanentThrowaway]

I got an II last Friday and was wondering if we need to send in our LORs even if they have been uploaded to AMCAS. Does anyone know if I have to get my LOR writer to send it in by mail?

You are fine. They download them from AMCAS.

Same situation happened to me. My prof taught me but was also a major influence in some ECs. I was told to get in a new LOR as soon as possible. Just got the letter Processed through AMCAS. Here's to hoping it gets processed through IU quickly. I want to be accepted as EDP! Haha.

Yeah just a minor annoyance. I just don't remember seeing any concrete definition of each letter! And I don't see why a professor can't be qualified to write a personal letter. He knows me better than my boss, who is now writing mine! But what can you do? Fortunately I have some time since I'm not EDP (although my interview is in two days). Yikes!

 

[Jedilley]

Status changed to "under review"

 

[livelovelaugh123]

How long does it take to find out if they are going to give you a secondary?

 

[nicmar22]

There isn't really a secondary for Indiana. They go straight from primary to interview (and I think the II has some paperwork along with it, someone please correct me if I'm wrong).

 

[Vivalarevolution]

After you get an interview invite, you are required to fill out a graduate application and send in some additional information. There's no traditional secondary though

 

[claduva94]

Just finished my interview. Indi is beautiful. The interview was pretty good. Know your competencies!

 

[ishonthenet]

Stupid question but where can I check my application status?

Have you been invited for an interview? Otherwise there is no way to.

II this morning! OOS, LizzyM ~73. Receipt 7/21.

Does anyone know what days of the week IU interviews on? I'm still a student and since they don't seem too receptive to rescheduling interviews, do you think it would be best if I called them to discuss dates that I wouldn't be available (exams, other interviews)?

Wednesdays.

Hey question, how long after does it take to have letters shown as complete in the portal if they are already uploaded to amcas a while ago?

Also if you pick a location but want to change it is it okay as long as you haven't been assigned yet?

To the second question: you can't change it. I called to change it almost immediately and they said I couldn't.

Thanks! Also for the first question, when you first got the II and you logged on did you have checkmarks already or it took a while?

 

[Vivalarevolution]

Id like to know as well! I got an II three weeks ago and they're still not checked off...

It definitely took awhile... a couple weeks, maybe?

 

[nicmar22]

Gah just called and found out I can't use my letter from my PI as my personal letter because I received credit for my research 🙁

 

[reapplicanthelpme2014]

Hey, anyone know how responsive IU is to" in the area" emails??

 

[miamiheatfan]

Someone kinda asked this but I don't think it was really answered. Should we call and say there's a date you can't interview on ahead of time?

I called yesterday and they weren't very receptive to it. I told them I had the dates on hand to give them and they pretty much just said they will schedule me regardless and then see if they can reschedule if I tell them there is a problem.

Every day I sit and wait, I think of so much I SHOULD have said in my interview... Lol.

Also.. My status went from Under Review to Under Consideration now that my Personal Letter is in..

Here's to the next 2.5 weeks for us EDPers!

 

[Jedilley]

I have heard that they have already sent out he first batch of EDP rejects (not really rejects but rollovers to regular pool) via email. I haven't gotten one yet, but be sure to be on the look out for one. I think we will be notified if we are accepted via snail mail though.

I would be cautious with what you hear unless it comes from IU directly. Last year, an IUSOM admissions rep told me 73 of 75 EDPs got accepted, so for them to be sending out rollovers week 3 of interviews is bizarre to me.

Someone I know got the rollover from IU admissions via email. I do agree that it seems bizarre though.

Dang, sounds crazy! So.. I just noticed you go to IUPUI? Is your senior pre-med cohort very large? I noticed a lot of people in my 11 AM interview group was from IUPUI and knew each other well.

 

[Jedilley]

I would say it is decently large. Most of the pre-medical students I know though are currently juniors or nontraditionals.

 

[ishonthenet]

No I haven't. That's what I thought, just wanted to confirm, thanks 🙂
