From what I have heard from advisors, it would be best in December, even if it is pre interview. Im not an expert, but that is just what I have heard. Maybe some other people can weigh in as well.

I think it's actually a great idea. From what I've heard showing your interest early on can be beneficial...if you've been EFI for a certain amount of time then it can only help to submit an update, as long as it's significant. Maybe if you have new grades or a new EC, I'm sure that warrants an update 🙂
Ya, but for the most part I've only continued my previous EC obligations in addition to picking up a job as a medical scribe. I've been traveling around the U.S. lately, but that's pretty much it. Already finished my research earlier this year and graduated last December. Hmmm...not much to update on.
Scribing is definitely an update! That's clinical and work experience, so you can definitely use that to update.
Got my official acceptance letter in the mail yesterday!!! I cannot wait to start here in August!!!!!!!!!!!
Got mine earlier today 🙂 so excited to call UCF home starting next year! Congrats to all others also accepted and good luck to everyone else! UCF is awesome.
I have been in the AORTA - Eligible for interview selection for about two months now. Am I the only one in this boat? Or should I just accept the fact that I'll get an interview when it's too late?
You are not the only one in this boat; I've also been AORTA - EFI for about two months. I would be happy with an interview at UCF, even if it is later on. As the old saying goes, 'it ain't over until it's over'.
Received an II today!! Complete on Sept 9.
What dates are they currently scheduling for?
Complete nearly 2 months earlier than this still no II...guess I am getting passed over for now? :/

does no one else find it cool to have actually met REL at interview day and then seeing him post on here?
He's pretty much the man.
It seems people have been asking this question since the very beginning of time. (the status disappears when it's updating).

No it happens when they update the system. Doesn't mean anything about your status. Sorry 🙁

would it be appropriate to call admission and kind of get an idea of where I stand as far as priority to interview? My status recently changed to AORTA/EFI, and I've continually heard that UCF has been very transparent and open so far about their admissions process. @REL ? any thoughts?
I would hold off. There are still plenty of interview dates but EFI does not guarantee an interview. It seems that they periodically meet and choose from the EFI pool for interview invites just as they do for interviewees to be accepted/wait listed. If the interview dates are coming to a close then you might cal but they'll continue into February so there's still time it seems.
Yeah, I STRONGLY recommend against this.
Congrats! I interviewed the same day so I'm sure we met 🙂

Congratulations on your acceptance!!!
If you don't mind me asking, what third of the waitlist were you in initially?
Thank you! I was in the top 1/3.
I think the secondary invite is automated.
congrats, its nice to know that there is waitlist movement before may.
Interviewed here yesterday. Very impressed with the facilities and UCF's plan for the future. REL is awesome, and his transparency regarding admissions is to be commended.
I asked about this earlier, REL said they usually make it around January! I'm excited to meet everyone else who's been accepted 🙂

Are calls made on Tuesdays or Wednesdays?
Fairly confident the committee meets on Tuesday and calls go out Wednesday. Good luck, I'm waiting for that call tomorrow!
Depends, but in general, non-repeated, non-felony activities will not normally be a problem, likely be identified as a lack of maturity and a teaching/learning moment.
For those of you on the non-yet-accepted list I intend to send out an update at some point after admissions calls tomorrow. So updates will go out late tomorrow or on Thursday.
