II 🙂
Small pooled in Late August I believe.

 

[mehc012]

UGH anyone else submit early August and still not been reviewed?

Yuppers. I think adcoms are sticking you and me together and dropping us under the table...

 

[DoctorInVivo]

II! OOS, small pooled 9/1

 

[akl54]

Congrats to everyone!!! Hopefully I'll get one in the next batch....so sad for us Mainers.

 

[ellocarter]

Was small pooled on 8/19. It looks like I was overlooked. 🙁

At least you've been reviewed/small pooled. I was in before and am still on the "it may take us a while to process your application materials" status.

They can't find your app in the tall grass you're hiding in. 😎

I submitted in late July and still haven't been reviewed. So hard to be patient for this long!

 

[Murphy09]

Finally under preliminary review after two months of processing

 

[DoaneTiger1953]

Sorry, I'm new to this thread. What do you guys mean by small pooled?

 

[KagawaFan]

II today too! No clue when I was small-pooled but I was complete 7/20!

 

[ofthesaints]

Sorry, I'm new to this thread. What do you guys mean by small pooled?

Being small pooled means that, after a preliminary review of your application, you have been placed in a group of applicants who have the potential of being chosen for an interview.

 

[maineiac23]

II today as well! Complete 8/18, small pooled early September. OOS but from Maine, which I think might have some sort of connection with UVM

 

[ofthesaints]

November 20th for me

 

[akl54]

Sooo they arent just having 1 /month?

 

[sylviaplathMD]

Oh greatttt now I have interview date envy... "why does so-and-so get to interview before me?! Wahh poor pitiful me!"

So easy to lose your head in this game... I have to keep reminding myself that I'm grateful for even being invited to any school.

 

[ofthesaints]

Sooo they arent just having 1 /month?

Guess not. It looks like there is one every weekend from Oct 31 to Nov 20th so far.

 

[Maester_Dave]

Nov. 20th, my first interview! See you guys there and fingers crossed!

Well put! It's amazing what an II can do for one's spirit, but it's good to remember that not everyone gets this opportunity and to be grateful for having it.

 

[breezy16]

[LaPola19_MD]

Adding to 11/6 group, small pooled in August some time, excited for some donuts

 

[Anth0ny3887]

I submitted my application and received the II the same days as you. I'm pretty excited to have the interview on Halloween haha

[Spector1]

[ryval]

I'm OOS but I'll be driving up, hopefully we'll be able to find student hosts!

 

[otterxavier]

Some costume ideas: bank branch manager, junior partner at a law firm, funeral guest 😉

 

[cactusinmyhead]

II, never small pooled as far as I know, but I never checked the portal.

 

[lillarry33]

II for the 31st! Flying in the 30th and leaving the 1st.

 

[DoaneTiger1953]

Being small pooled means that, after a preliminary review of your application, you have been placed in a group of applicants who have the potential of being chosen for an interview.

And they'll update your status so that you know that you've been small-pooled?

 

[LaPola19_MD]

For those who interviewed already, were you able to stay with a host or at a hotel? and if the latter what hotel nearby do you recommend?

 

[MrTaco92]

I stayed at the comfort inn. Decided to opt out of the student host because I came up with some friends for the weekend of my interview. I was satisfied with my stay for sure. There are a bunch of other hotels in that area next to the comfort inn and theyre all less than a 5 minute drive from the campus. Burlingtons a pretty small city with little to no traffic, at least from my experience, so you should have no problem making it to your interview on time.

 

[ofthesaints]

And they'll update your status so that you know that you've been small-pooled?

Yep.

 

[Elynn]

Yep.

Yes, but you won't receive an email. You'll only know if you've been small-pooled by checking your portal.

 

[mr.mkitty]

Sorry but what changes in the portal when they small pool you..

 

[fhexhockey]

Sorry but what changes in the portal when they small pool you..

"Your file is complete and has been preliminarily reviewed. You are within a pool of applicants from which an interview may be extended. Please note that this does not guarantee you will be offered an interview and you may not see an update to your status for several months. "

 

[coffee1130]

Submitted late July and still haven't been reviewed. Anyone else in this boat ?

 

[asturner91]

yeah buddy

 

[coloradonative90]

FINALLY small pooled today! Submitted July 24, preliminary review for around 3 days. Lizzy ~70.

 

[Goonie1010]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what happens if you are not small pooled? Has anyone received rejections from UVM yet or do they wait until the end of the cycle? And if you are in the small pool and not invited to interview do they send a rejection email?

 

[WhiteCoat13]

Any current students want to share their likes/dislikes about UVM? Seems like an amazing school but would really appreciate some insight from current medical students. Thank you in advance! 🙂

 

[Spector1]

yeah buddy

me too
