Discover Your Odds of Getting into Medical School
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Wow. I didn't know that! I might look into renting a car then. But the shuttle is only 135 for both ways. Then I don't have to pay for gas or worry about parking. Either way, thanks everyone for the info!

I've been looking around, and it looks like most rental agencies in Michigan will rent if you're over 18. Problem is they tack on vague "underage fees" (~$50/DAY or more) that you most likely won't know about until you get to the kiosk. I think I'm stuck with the shuttle 🙁

Submitting my secondary today.. IS underdog applicant.. Ami too late?
 
First rejection of the cycle. Oh well, more than likely the first of many, but hopefully not too many. Complete 7/15
 
First rejection as well. Strings more than I thought it would. Hopefully hear some good news from elsewhere this week. Good luck to everyone!

They updated their "tracker" page today, which says that 25 interviews have been completed and 165 have been offered. I think that means that each interview day cohort has 25 candidates.
 
Just got the rejection email 2 minutes ago. Good luck everyone~

Hey, I interviewed here last week. There were 25 candidates, from across the country. I'm an IS applicant, but there were many out-of-staters so I thought that was fun as I got a chance to brag about the Metro Detroit area lol. The whole day was really relaxed and welcoming. I was most impressed with two things: the medical students, who were really eager to talk about their school, and the tour of Beaumont Hospital, where many of the clinical rotations are done. Truly one of the nicest hospitals I have ever stepped foot in. Both my interviewers were nice and kind of just let me talk about whatever I wanted. No grueling questions! Overall, I left with a really strong and positive impression of the school. Definitely a place I could see myself spending the next few years.

I interviewed a week ago as well and can second this. The hospital tour was very impressive and the medical students were proud of their school. The interviews were fairly relaxed; I didn't get any unexpected questions. I'd also note that the interview group itself was a really interesting and fun set of people. One of the highlights for me was simply meeting the other interviewees!

Was there an actual "Hold" update or had you just not heard back at all? Going on 10 Weeks since I have been complete here... and no update.

I received an email telling me I'd been put on hold.
 
rejected after being on hold too 🙁

on hold status: 8/15
 
oh shoot I'm mighty nervous now!! I've been on hold since 8/4
 
Interview Invite this morning!! cant believe my good fortune this cycle, this is my 7th interview invite (3rd MD!!) Im from Cali, 3.7gpa, 29 MCAT (8 in VR) Im debating whether or not I can afford to go.. still thrilled with the opportunity and I feel really blessed. supplemental complete 7/17
 
Does Oakland do updates or look at apps based on completion dates? Cuz it seems ppl complete 7/15-7/17 have heard back but no updates on my end. Complete 7/13. Does adding extra info by attaching a file delay my review?

+1 Complete since 7/12
 
They received my secondary and LORs on 8/5; however, I never got an application completion date!!!
Is this unusual? I'm curious if something's wrong.

They don't send application completion emails per say. Just a confirmation that they received your secondary.. and the portal will say your application is complete.

Right, I logged onto their site to check status...There was no date given for "Application Complete"
Don't they establish the application has been completed before the other updates?

There is no completion date on my portal as well. Once they receive everything, they update it to "application complete." That is just how it is supposed to be.
