I also got a complete email after submitting a couple days ago.

My AMCAS was verified 6/18, I submitted the Rochester secondary on 6/30, they downloaded all my letters on 7/1, and my MCAT score came in on 7/8. I should have been officially complete 10 days ago 🙁

 

[AspiringERMD]

Oh. I shot them an email, and I got the complete email like five minutes later. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. I wonder if it's just now being considered complete, or if it was complete before but they just didn't send the email...

Anyway. Glad I'm complete. Rochester is in my top two or three choices.

Got my II but don't have my SSN and won't have access to it for a bit. Any way to get around this?

I'm in exactly the same boat as you.

Congrats to all with II !

Me too. But there are still many interviews left so don't fret. i doubt they have even filled 5% of their spots yet.

Very good way to look at it. Although I doubt they'd give me a look until the butt end of the season.

 

[phunky]

Complete email on 7/8. No II. This is a school I actually have a good shot at. I'd love to interview here.

 

[The Milkman]

Negativity is reserved for when you have to choose between multiple great schools 😉

 

[stevvo111]

II! first of season. 3.5-3.7 gpa and 33-36 MCAT

congrats to all other II and don't worry to all those who haven't received!

 

[invissideways]

Congrats to all of you with IIs!

Now if only my committee letter can hurry up and be available!

Did you all get pre interview questions you have to submit?

I was also complete on 7/8 and still no correspondence from Rochester.

 

[theeraser]

II! Complete 7/7; OoS w/ ~3.9/36. Thrilled to have this opportunity!

 

[sunflower18]

I was also complete on 7/8 and still no correspondence from Rochester.

I was complete on 7/2 and @theeraser was complete 7/7 -- maybe they just haven't gotten to reviewing your app (or @phunky 's app) yet! It doesn't look like they've progressed to reviewing people who were complete on 7/8.

I was complete on the first and also haven't heard anything. Got the complete email on the second. Don't know what that means.

Not essays just list some activities for interviewer to talk about... wouldn't stress until you get it

Amad01, there are two short essay questions in addition to the list of activities. You have until one week before the interview to complete them.

 

[NervousNerd]

Complete mid last week and just got my first MD ii! Im is.

Congratulations!

 

[mik30102]

For those who got interviews what approach are you taking with the biggest problem question (broad vs specific). Im thinking about having a broad answer like low outcomes for a lot of money and then talking about the specific causes and how we might fix them during the interview. Just curious to see what others opinions are. Thanks!

 

[LaceyMD]

Out of curiosity, for those receiving IIs, do you remember if you checked any of the activity boxes on the secondary? Just curious if that is affecting who is getting IIs first.

Oh, and congrats to all who have gotten IIs so far!!
