Members do not see this ad.

I mean, I probably wouldn't show up in sweats, but full suit is probs unnecessary

I was thinking of wearing my clubbing outfits


Just kidding! But I thinking nice sweater/jacket and jeans/boots will be fine 🙂

Glad I'm not the only one!

Does the administration usually make a Facebook group for students, or is that something we do on our own? 🙂

They make one.

 

[Tradewinds]

II today!!! So thrilled! IS 3.7, 28, no research, heavy healthcare experience 🙂 They automatically set me up for a mid January date!!

 

[Bubbles0523]

Does anyone know if a "hold for interview" is basically a rejection? I would loveee to interview here

 

[MrLogan13]

Complete late July, nothing but silence for me. 🙁

 

[reapplicanthelpme2014]

Complete late July, nothing but silence for me. 🙁

[iluvmedicine2]

Hang in there guys...

I recently added this school. Can anyone fill me in on how long it takes to receive the secondary?

 

[tqa2015]

OOS!

 

[HCMVresearcher]

Anyone else nervous/excited for the committee to meet tomorrow? I hope I hear back from them this week--a month 'til the next admission decision release date is so long!!! Fingers crossed for those of you guys/gals also waiting to hear back after your interviews 🙂

 

[llamasarefuzzy]

Do they call most admits on Tuesday night?

 

[surgeon180]

I was called on Tuesday night and received the email the following morning (interviewed 10/17, accepted via phone call 10/21).

 

[llamasarefuzzy]

Will be (un)patiently waiting by my phone tonight. Cmon msu, don't leave a girl hanging for a whole nother month

 

[surgeon180]

I was called around 8-9 pm, just so you have a ballpark time to wait for!

 

[llamasarefuzzy]

Thanks! I'll be studying for a stats exam so good to know so I don't check my phone every 3 seconds ( let's be real, though. Probably going to happen anyways)

 

[HCMVresearcher]

I'm definitely going to be (un)patiently checking my phone too... I have open lab with my anatomy students from 6-8pm--they're all rooting for me though so I'm sure they won't mind if I leave my phone on tonight. 🙂

Good luck!

Thanks! Good luck to you too!

 

[Australopithekus]

I think mine was around 11 a.m. Not everyone gets the call that late!

 

[llamasarefuzzy]

Every time my phone rings I can literally feel my SNS go into overdrive.

 

[llamasarefuzzy]

Going to go vote. Hopefully that will keep my mind sane while waiting

 

[HCMVresearcher]

No calls for anyone tonight yet?

 

[llamasarefuzzy]

No calls for anyone tonight yet?

Nope and omg had a heart attack when I got your notification. Back to studying!

 

[llamasarefuzzy]

Alternate list 🙁 any idea how much movement is usually seen for OOS?

 

[HCMVresearcher]

I'm sorry to hear that. Did they call or email? I still haven't heard anything... 🙁

I bet the alternate list moves a lot though. They interview around 5oo students for a class of 190... You'd think they have to accept quite a bit extra.

You can also send update letters if your waitlisted to let them know you're interested and if you've had any changes to your app to make you more competitive!!

Thanks. They emailed. Definitely planning on sending an update at the end of the semester. Hoping there will be lots of movement because of high oos tuition.Of course I'm bummed because I wasn't accepted, but at least I wasn't rejected and I am still waiting to hear back from several other interviews. Hopefully with happier news. Best of luck to everyone still waiting to hear!

Does any one know where I can find the "The CHM Interview Day web page has detailed information about your interview day, and a link to the required Interview Day Paperwork form."

I can't find it on the link they provided.

The link should be in the II email they sent you. Just click on it.

Awesome!
Thanks, dude!

 

[loungebunny]

Would it be a bad idea to send an update letter here pre-interview? ( I just got my first-author paper published )
My file has been put on hold about a month ago.

Yes, they don't accept updates prior to interviewing. You can only send updates after you've interviewed if you get put on the alternate list.

Edit: Congrats on getting published though!

 

[MDporfavor8888]

II earlier today! Complete around early-mid August, LM 70+, IS
so excited!

 

[sms32291]

II today, completed early August, IS. interview schedule for january 23

 

[Final_stretch_med]

I keep checking this forum to see who is receiving II's. I also have one, and will go here in a heartbeat if I get accepted. To think that we could be possible colleagues this time next year is cray cray. 😉

 

[iluvmedicine2]

Looking to complete my file here next week...glad to hear IIs are still pretty abundant 😉

Good luck to us all!
