Yea it is. I was review in progress for almost a month and then got the preliminary review complete status on 9/21. Hopefully a decision will come soon in the form of an II!

Oh okay gotcha!! Best of luck!!!! 🙂
Not sure if it's been posted here yet, but one of the papers they gave us at the interview says that they accepted 268 students out of 322 who interviewed. I don't know what year it was from, and it doesn't break it down into IS/OOS, but it's still pretty comforting to think that getting an interview could mean an 80%+ chance at getting in.

Do you guys think submitting my secondary to FAU this late in the game would be a waste of time? I have a 3.87s, 3.85c and 25 MCAT (which is why I applied to mainly DO schools) I guess I didn't think I was competitive so kind of put this school on the back burner even though I did go to FAU undergrad and love this school. I already have 3 interviews for DO schools. I have ridiculous EC's (ER scribe, registered MA, sorority, research, other clubs/organizations on campus). Anyone have any input? Is it too late to submit secondary?
I would say if you want to come here then go ahead and apply! I don't think the application fee is that bad, and I know they accept people all the way through the cycle. You might be at a disadvantage being a bit late, but it can't hurt to apply. I will say that FAU has been increasingly raising the bar for MCAT scores, so that could be an impediment. But again, you don't have much to lose by applying, especially if you went to FAU undergrad.

I've been at that status since 9/21, so not nearly as long. The silence after you've already been reviewed is unnerving lol.
This whole process is unnerving!!!

I've been at "preliminary review complete" since 9/21 and still no word from FAU
How long did it take them to change your status from "review in progress"?

I submitted my secondary on 8/26, but I'm not sure exactly when I got the "review in progress" status. Probably around a week after I submitted. Let me add that I'm IS, if that makes any difference in wait time.
Probably safer to call and ask than rely on suggestions from us lol
I'm interviewing tomorrow and I'm just gonna get there at 9 am just in case!
I got there at 9:45 and was fine. They didn't start until 10 am. Just give yourself time to get to the med school. It's in the back of the campus by the football stadium, and I think the directions that they gave were confusing.
Memorial, Cleveland clinic, Boca Regional, Delray, west Boca, Bethesda
Lol be nice to Agnes she's the best
If you don't apply you'll never know! Most of my classmates had fairly high MCATs but if you would love to come here why not give it a shot?
my first acceptance!!!! AAAHHH

Have been "Under review" here since 7/28...what in the world is taking so long to reach a decision?!?!?
Very relaxed. Two one on one interviews, one traditional and one with behavioral style questions - these are just like job interview questions, like "Have you ever been in X situation before? What did you do? How did you handle it?" So don't stress out 🙂 if you have specific questions lemme know. Also they didn't serve breakfast just FYI...I did not realize this so I was starving until lunch lol.
Do you mind sharing your stats?
ahhh. supposedly they dig deep into it so, who knows. Sucks to have to wait until spring though.Me too. did u get an email?
Did anyone who got on the alternate list get an email or just a portal update?
No e-mail for me, just portal update and an actual letter via post.
thank you!!

Same here. No e-mail. Portal update and no physical letter in the mail yet (alternate list as of 10/29/15)
OOS 3.8 GPA 36 MCAT
How do I send a new recommendation letter from Interfolio? Do I just send directly to FAU or does it have to go to AMCAS first, and then sent to FAU?
The latter
Interview scheduled for December 11th! Stoked to visit the campus.
