the first is always the worst. good luck with the rest of your schools!
So how are you guys preparing for this interview? I'm nervous now that it's less than a week away!
Marked complete and now the real anxiety-provoking waiting begins! (added VTC somewhat late)

So I'm pretty in love with VTC, but I have one qualm. How do you pronounce Carilion? I've been says Cari- like in the Caro- in Carolina, but then adding -lion.
I wish I was better with the phonetic markings but... "Cuh-ril-ion" it was also described to me over the phone during my own application cycle as "carylion" but the "a" is a soft a
Though I added VTC late, I only just for marked complete a few days ago! I think they review apps in batches so maybe there will be a wave of IIs soon (hopefully).
I was complete on 8/1 and haven't heard anything, either.

So I did some internet sleuthing and according to last year's thread, it seems like they had two major II sprees separated by a month (end of July and end of August). Since this year's started mid-August, I expect we should hear something in the coming week...fingers crossed!
The minimum letters of recommendation required for a complete application at VTC is four, correct?
Interviewed here too. It was a bit of a whirlwind day (the 9 or so hours just flew by).
The MMI was straight forward and fairly enjoyable (some scenarios were more challenging than others, but that's an obvious part of the process). I liked that the interviewers were so diverse - man, woman, old, young, black, white, etc! If VTC adcom is reading this, that was one of the best parts!

II just now! IS, ~3.7 cgpa, ~3.5 sgpa, >35 mcat. I can't believe they literally only give us one option for the interview date…some people have stuff to do.

Same. Wonder if any apps completed before that without an interview are a toast. 🙁
Interview invite earlier today as well!! October 4
I was complete late July!
Complete 8/9
The reception on 10/3 isn't required, right?
No, it's optional.
So I ****ed up really bad and booked my flight before confirming my attendance at the interview. Now I've spent over $400 on a plane ticket and I'm waitlisted for the 10/4 interview. Any suggestions?

Do they send completion emails?
When did you buy your ticket? You can cancel any airline ticket within 24 hours from purchase for full refund. After that period you most likely will have to pay a change fee which varies between airlines but should be in the $200-$300 range. In that case, you have a chance to salvage around the half of the value of the ticket.
I'd probably eat the change fee and reboot the ticket to your scheduled date but there is always a chance that this can turn out to be the wrong move.
Yes, processing takes a while.
Yep, it took around 1.5 weeks to receive the "your secondary application has been received" and then an additional week to receive the complete email.
Thanks for your help! Luckily I booked it last night so I was able to cancel it today for a full refund.
Just marked complete today! Hoping for some good news from this awesome school 😀, looks like a November or December date at this point if I'm lucky
Thank you! Just got marked complete today - fingers crossed for an interview, in love with this school.
I've replied to the interview email to confirm the II date but I haven't gotten a response back in awhile. Is there any kind of email they send back to you reserving your spot for the interview day?
Thanks. I haven't gotten a response back for a week though.
I was wondering if I could get some help with this cause VTC hasn't answered my emails yet... My committee letter consists of 3 letters I received from my professors and I also have 2 supplemental letters. Does my committee letter count as 1 or 3 letters? Cause VTC says you have to have at least 4 letters of rec.... I have received a complete email too.
Does anyone know the oldest MCAT VTC accepts?
Anyone still waiting on a secondary?
Yup. I'm assuming they screen pretty heavily? Do they have hard numbers that they go by?

Hmm if they are sending out secondaries that could mean another round of II is around the corner!
+1
