haha I know this schools doesn't interview until later in the year, but is anyone else super anxious? loll

Count me in the boat. I actually am worried they might just straight up reject me. I keep thinking of my friend who that happened to,

I'm worried about that too...this is one of the few California schools I think I have a shot at, but Loma Linda is known to be particular, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!

Keep your head up high and trust in the Lord! Everything will fall into place.

Got a call today saying that I've been accepted Early Decision. I'm feeling really grateful to the Lord for his providence.
Feel free to pm me if you have any questions about my interview experience. All of my interactions with Loma Linda faculty, staff and students so far have been very positive.

Loma Linda is Seventh-Day Adventist affiliated. You should probably read up on this before you interview here.

nah I figure im just gonna wing it. if they ask me about it, ill just change the subject, ask em where the local bars are around there or where I can get a good burger. I don't want to do more research about the school than I have to.

By the way, you need to call to schedule an interview. They told me all of information about the day I picked will come in the mail. There are also 2 sessions you can pick. Either 9:40-2:15 or 11-4.

Congrats! Did you get the II via email or postal?

Invitation to interview at Loma Linda University School of Medicine

 

[megan0430]

II! Complete 9/30. SDA. LizzyM 66

 

[Inygma]

Congrats! Looks like SDA invites are going out! Hopefully Non-SDA in a month or two!

 

[BorntobeDO?]

I got one as well, they deny giving every SDA an invite...Also asked for days other than Fridays. Unfortunate, cause it just so happens that Friday is the best day for me...

 

[MrLogan13]

Ahh, fingers crossed for an II. I want some California love.

 

[CaptainQ]

Congrats!
Any SDA haven't got an II? Try not to be paranoid....

I cant remember if it was rob, but someone said that they had a friend who had a low mcat score and was SDA and didn't even get an interview.

Yes, I was kind of spaced out about it yesterday from lack of sleep. I asked even tho I do know someone who didn't get one. I felt pretty dumb afterwards.

Does anyone know if LLU is open to pre-II updates?
