I can't speak for anyone else, but I was complete 8/12/14 and still haven't gotten a status update.

i've been complete since 8/13 no status update too
Been waiting to be prioritized since 7/21. Does anyone know if that's normal?
I was complete 7/13 and my status switched to forwarded to admissions committee like a week ago and then switched BACK to ur file is complete like two days ago...
I wonder if the fact that I answered the earlier incorrect prompt could possibly delay my processing.

No idea but I did the second prompt
This is not the case. I too answered the earlier, incorrect prompt and was interviewed a few weeks ago.
You are still within @BioEngMD's window of 8-12 weeks, so I don't think you have anything to worry about
+1 wondering too
Have you received the post-interview status change?
My portal just has something about the Interview survey (which I think I completed right afterward). So, no?
I was never given a survey and mine still shows the interview invite screen 😵
That's a bit strange, but I wouldn't worry until we get at least a week into October. It's another 3 weeks until they release any decisions so updating interviewees' portals probably isn't at the top of their priority list. Just my $0.02

That makes sense. Thanks for your reassurance!
I just got this status change as well. I bet it means they're looking at the file.
Thought this would be helpful. I don't know if it's been recently posted.
Is it still say your application is complete?
Yea, I thought I was complete on 7/16 , but I guess not? lol
II Invite today (9/23). II for 10/1. I'm surprised they have interview slots available so early! SUPER EXCITED.
I just had the same thing happen. Must mean they're actually going to review it now.
Can someone please shed light on this message
"The committee's file review indicates that they would like to consider your file further. We are now in the process of scheduling interviews and will continue to do so through February. Unfortunately, the committee indicates interest in far more candidates than we are able to interview. Since we are dependent on the Committee member's schedules for interview spaces, we are unable to predict when or if we will be able to schedule you this year. Please continue to check this site to learn when further action has been taken."

First interview invite! Complete on Sept 10. II this morning!
when are you scheduled?
October 8th!
Did you get this message
'Your M.D. file is now complete. The Admissions Committee will now do a comprehensive review of your application. Once the review is complete, your file will be prioritized, and interviews will be granted based on your priority score and the date your file was completed. Please do not call the Admissions Office requesting special dates. Please continue to read all paragraphs below.'
or a different one?
Nope, I got that status several weeks ago. Today's new status is short, it says exactly what I posted above, nothing more.

So yours has been reviewed and is in the 'your file will be prioritized, and interviews will be granted based on your priority score and the date your file was completed' stage? Ambiguous indeed... But I'd assume you'll be in the next round of invites/rejections at least...
I suppose so- that's good news then! I'd rather get a rejection now than wait 4 more months before getting one.
Earlier in the thread, there is a breakdown of the "priority scores" that you will see on the applicant portal and what they mean. I don't think your status is one of their 5 priority scores. Hopefully you will have something more definitive soon.
Was the October 1st date not available?
I don't think so, but I'm not really sure. But that day definitely works out well for me I think.
same thing happened to me
Thanks for the feedback, I'll search through the forum for that discussion
Ugh.. My status recently changed from the initial long one to the "your file is complete and will be reviewed" one. Today I got an email saying I had a recent status update, so I checked, and it went back to the original status! 😕
Has this happened to anyone else? If so, what ended up happening after?

happened to me too. NO idea what it meant. a month or so after, i got the May status and silence since
Same pattern happened to me, and I believe several others as well. I've been sitting on this last (originally the first) status for about 10 days.
John in admissions says you can determine your odds of an interview by calculating the inverse of the square root of the product of your number of status changes times your LizzyM/2.
No status change = blow up the universe then?
I had that to. About a month ago, and nothing since.
