I think every applicant in the state of Utah just let out a collective gasp and went into panic mode. I'm ready to retire from this stressful website.
Interview invite!!!! (just saw it cause I been workin all day). It's freakin me out cause I really really really have wanted to go to this school (the last 10 years of my life have revolved around making myself be a good applicant for this school however pathetic that sounds). We'll see if we are a good match for each other (not that I'm already expecting to get rejected.....). Anyways my MCAT and GPA are above average (not that this means anything to Utah from what I've been told). My worry is that although my extracurriculars cover all of Utah's bases, there is nothing in my application that make a person say, "wow! this person is diverse and did something amazing that should make us want them." I will say though having someone look over your application and think you have a chance of succeeding as a doctor is a good feeling. The road hasn't been easy but it should eventually be worth all the effort (I say this cause I have absolutely loved my experiences working with patients and doctors, with some exceptions such as cleaning up poop and all that fun stuff + the fact I'd be dead now if it weren't for doctors). Any tips on how to reflect one's good character in traditional and MMI interviews? I'm freaking out. I'm going biking.
I was "complete" a couple days after I got my secondary which was Aug 10th. I got my primary turned in July 1st. Also the interview dates are Sep. 18th, 21st, and 25th.Congrats! When were you complete?
I don't recall them asking for a photo. Is this something in the interview invite email, or did I just miss it before?Also get your pictures taken if you haven't already as "It is mandatory that you email us a current passport style photograph in a jpeg format". It would be good to start waking up early as you are to "arrive between 7:15 and 7:30 a.m. at the School of Medicine". Their interviews are as follows: "The Assessment Day process will consist of 2 one-on-one interviews, Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI), and a Moral and Ethical Problem Exam (MEPE)." Good luck everybody except for you Utah haters!

My mistake..... you should still love them. In my experience they have always been very kind and helpful.I know this school is awesome. And I would be very grateful to get here. But there are just some things that rub me the wrong way. And this is definitely one of them. They haven't confirmed a scheduled interview that is tomorrow?! Come on U of U SOM. You should be better than this.

How long did it take for the school to download everyone LOR's?
Got ANOTHER one of those "the deadline is approaching for your application" this morning (my second one)- I know we've already discussed this here not being an issue if we've submitted and gotten the confirmation, but I am stressing out a bit over it nonetheless!
Congrats on the invite!!! As always, I'm rooting for you! What dates did they make available to you?One or two days.
I got the email as well, but I also got an interview invite yesterday so I think I am okay. Confirmation email on 8/28.
Anyone who interviewed yesterday have any advice for us?
Thanks buddy. I'm sure you will be getting your invite within the next couple weeks. The options were 9/21, 9/25, 9/28, and 10/2. I put 10/2 as my top choice.Congrats on the invite!!! As always, I'm rooting for you! What dates did they make available to you?

IS II on 9/18, confirmed today for 10/2.
Lady on the phone said they were all booked through 10/2 and were about to ask me to re-rank my preferences. As she was talking on the phone someone cancelled and I took their place. Just to let the rest of you know where they stand.
Primary complete: about 7/24When were you complete ? Stats?
Anybody have suggestions on effective ways to prepare for MMIs?
For those who already interviewed recently or anytime in the past. Any tips or advice for us on how to act and what to expect on the interview day?
