CONGRATS! complete date??
My primary was complete 10/1 and my secondary app was complete 10/28
Gives me hope! I was complete on Oct 30! What are your stats? I'm Lizzy 76
I took the old and new MCAT, so how can I use the Lizzy score for the new exam? In addition, what is the formula?
They told my group 6-8 weeks and I heard back in 6.
What are you stats?
Today is 6 for me and I haven't heard back.
Has your portal updated? I received my decision about 3 days after my portal went blank.
No update

Rooting for you!
Thanks. I'm guessing it's gonna be another week at least
Sending positive vibes your way!
Are you still submitting in your secondaries?
I have a couple ones i just recently got.. so yeah (UCLA, UCSF, Hawaii)
UCSF rejected me with the quickness, lol
Can you tell me how I can calculate my Lizzy score?
Old way is GPA x10 + MCAT. Max would be 85. It's unclear how to do it with the new MCAT, but the most conservative would be to use the percentiles to calculate an old MCAT score.
Lizzy M is 63.
Has anyone from the 11/4 interview heard back yet? Do you know when we are supposed to find out?
It seems like most of the October interviewees haven't heard back, so I think you're unlikely to hear until January?

So
sorry if the question is general knowledge or silly. Is the Lizzy score something that adcoms consider also "unofficially" or is it just kind of a self evaluation tool to estimate where you stand in comparison to your peers?
Honestly, I have no idea! The Lizzy score is something SDN made up. No one truly knows what ADCOM is looking for. If that was the case, then I would have never gotten an interview. Metrics do matter, but I think they look at the whole package!
Also, I am a non-trad student, and done a lot of things in the interim. In my opinion, I think what helped my application was the fact that I won a prestigious fellowship, and I am very committed to my community.
So since it's a week from today...anyone interviewing 12/9? I'm coming to town the day before and I know a place with killer barbecue.
Thanks! I didn't know she actually came up with the score 🙂.
I thought it was the pre-meddies on sdn 😀
the one thats so killer it's prehistoric? salivating rn thinking about that mac n cheese though 😛
Yes! The Mac and cheese is the best part. Big-ass pork plate with double Mac as sides...food from heaven.
I interviewed in middle of september and got the rejection about a month later.
Has anyone gotten an II off the pre-interview hold list yet? I've been on hold since 9/1.
Portal just cleared for me. Interviewed 10/21.

Same here, interviewed 10/28. Does this mean a decision will be given by next week?
Yes, it has generally meant a decision a few days later, posted to the website and emailed. Good luck!
EDIT: most recent cleared+decision post seems to be clearing on 11/20 (friday) and a decision 11/23 (monday).
fair enough -- although you did have the holiday in there too.
Good luck
It hasn't for me - another 10/21 interviewee :/
Hotel Skyler! walking distance, and they let you keep your car at their lot during your interview.
