I got an II on Monday, and I was complete 7/9! There's still hope for people who haven't heard anything yet! I might withdraw my II, though...

 

[Anneal_Temp60]

II today! Complete 11/3. Second II of the cycle.

When were they scheduling IIs for?

When were they scheduling IIs for?

The only dates available to me were 12/8, 12/14, and 12/18 but I didn't look at any dates past February.

Anyone rejected pre-II?

 

[BeachBaby]

silence since July

 

[Im76at711]

I think (not sure, I do not recall) I put that I would like to work in a research lab as a med student. I just found FHN does not receive any funding for research. So basically now not only are my stats sub-par, I am not even a good fit! Lol goodbye to the the miniscule chance that I once had at an II.

For what it's worth, 1/3rd of my AMCAS was research, I expressed my interest in a few non-PC specialties, and I ended up with an interview. It's all about how you articulate your story

I have like 5 yrs (2yrs full-time) of research and only ~50hrs of clinical volunteering and I was accepted. There are stipends available for summer research/one of the concentrations for capstone is research.

Dr. Yeckel speaks to interviewees and is part of the admissions committee. He was a PI at Yale before going to Netter and he wants to get back into research. So wanting to do research wont be held against you, but you'll probably need a good "why Netter" answer

 

[catlady1996]

Just got the rejection email after interviewing November 6

 

[ciestar]

I was so impressed with Quinnipiac! My interview there has hands down been my most enjoyable one thus far. The day was so organized and the students and faculty were so nice. I hope you enjoy it!

That and the campus is gorgeous. The med school is actually pretty cool because it's brand new and you can feel it.

 

[pinesandwines]

Accepted today! Interviewed early Nov. Much faster than they had estimated at my interview date which was a nice surprise.

 

[fondofhats]

Just wondering, are decisions coming by mail or email? (nervous because I interviewed early november, ahh!)

Edit: Answered my own question and it's email if anyone wants to frantically ask this (like I did) before actually taking a breath and going on their website (like I did)

You also get an envelope in the mail (at least if you're accepted - I'm not sure about waitlists or rejections).

 

[benzyne]

Have they sent out pre II rejections?

+1

After the mass rejection from Hofstra I'm feeling a little down. I love this school.

 

[pbrocks15]

Ah!! I interviewed early November and haven't heard back :/ now I'm nervous

I'll probably be checking my email a lot these next few days. Or is it possible that they didn't get to my app?

 

[1nonnocere]

I noticed that the Prematriculation tap appeared again on the portal and I am very interested in the program, but would current Netters who have gone through it share their experiences with the application process and the program itself? I would really appreciate it. Would it be too early to apply? Thanks.

 

[dogsarecute]

Recently interviewed here. Beautiful school!

Right there with ya!

Anyone know if Thanksgiving might push things back? I know for some schools committees won't meet at all this week.

I think there's a good chance that we probably won't hear back until after break :/

They mentioned that Thanksgiving AND Christmas will delay my decision. (I interviewed November 13th).

 

[Goonie1010]

Any other November interview peeps hear back yet? I'm sittin here refreshing my email with all my fingers and toes crossed

 

[HybridEarth]

Any late-Octoberers hear back yet? 😳

I interviewed mid-late October and heard back a week later. They told us at the interview day it could very well take until Thanksgiving break, though.

 

[Spector1]

silence since July

same, I'd really love an interview invite here

 

[Kea K]

I interviewed 11/9 & still waiting as well!

 

[pinesandwines]

Thanks! ☺️ I'm a non-trad and my stats are nothing special...67 LizzyM I believe?
I really wouldn't worry for those who also interviewed early Nov. We were told it was highly unlikely we'd hear before the end of Nov. Maybe I was just in the pile of someone who was super speedy?

Oh and my date was 11/2

I interviewed 11/13 and they told us we'd be lucky to hear back by Christmas. Who was your interviewer?

I had a first year student and a phd...can't recall names off the top of my head though

 

[fondofhats]

At my interview, I remember someone said they were hoping to have our decisions the first week of December, but if not then sometime before the winter holidays

So basically, I'll be living in anxiety starting now! (not that I haven't been living this way already.... 😉)

I had a phd too. Dr jackson? She wasnt actually affiliated with the school though.

 

[leonardodicaprio1992]

silent since july (like my 3rd completed app). Im getting nervous seeing people getting interview within like 2 weeks at times. Do I need to worry at all? would this be silent rejection?

 

[DrFizition]

First year student? Lucky!! I had two admissions committee members. The pressureee

 

[DrFizition]

For those accepted... do you know when we get the information for the online log in stuff that was detailed in the acceptance letter?

 

[Kea K]

I think that works out better in your favor...having someone on the committee is def an advantage

I don't think they're going to do much until January, haha, since it's so early!

 

[drchristinayang]

I wonder what happened to Dr. Ellison-- I noticed today that Dr. Yeckel is the new associate dean!

Whoa, even the online acceptance letter has Ellison's signature swapped out

[deleted659912]

I'm guessing not. Complete since 8/1 and haven't heard a peep 🙁

 

[emma2015]

Any recent IIs here? I added this school late… still hoping.

 

[pinacol]

I withdrew my II on Monday. I hope one of you gets/got it! Best of luck to you all!

 

[scout1992]

II today! Lizzy M 74, complete 7/14 so for those who submitted early, don't lose hope!

 

[sevenblizzards]

Woke up to an II today!!! Lizzy M ~67. complete mid July as well. Also, I sent three different updates--one LOR, why Netter, and a shadowing update. Unsure if these are ever looked at, but I like to think they help. So excited. Second MD interview of the cycle, and reapplicant. Don't give up 🙂
