Rejection as well, good luck everyone
Yep! Straight Gs are perfectly fine!
I am sorry to hear. When were you complete?
That's good to know; congrats on the interview! Do you have any advice on how to prepare? I know you can't give specific examples but just in general what would be helpful to do before an MMI.
Largest interview I've been to so far

how many? what was it like?
Ah it was a long shot for me anyway! I was complete on 8/4
Um most people didn't eat anything. Those are the same ones that complain later they were hungry. I doubt anyone eats a banana by lunch. Even the admission lady asked us to eat more cuz she knew.
I was the guy with the wraps stacked on each other. Just saying..cmon be urself..
* In the admission office "wow did u see that dude starve himself?? He was so proper! He will make a great physician..lets forget his felony guys
Seriously thats my advice. U can't prepare for an MMI. Just go in there. Eat like a human being laugh like one and just be urself. Its easy to detect a pre-med bot

If it helps, I just submitted mine today and I'm OOS. I think that it's still fairly early in the cycle. I would go for it.
Definitely isn't too late. I'm a current MS1 and I wasn't complete until September because of some issues with my committee letter. They do interviews for a long time still and there is no preference for candidates from earlier interviews.

So is it safe to say that based on what you're saying, they don't send out acceptances until they've intervied everyone, so in like march or April?
No, they just control themselves with the acceptance and leave spots for later interviewees. I was a late interview so I'm not entirely sure, but I believe they put a lot of people on the UC (wait) list initially and then they accept them later. They have pretty good UC list movement.

Funny to think many of us may go to the same interviews and see each other but not know it haha.
What did they serve for lunch lol. Did you have the one that started at 8 am?
Good to know, thanks for the feedback it really helps.
No, started at 11 haha so super early to eat
haha ooook.. I ate a wrap and a banana then but my super annoying metabolism made me hungry still even later lol
Also they served wraps and fruit!

Oh that sounds good. Mine is an 8 am so I think they just have breakfast. How many other students were there?
i submitted my primary to albany last monday and still haven't heard anything, should I be concerned or is this somewhat normal?
Edit: i read through all the pages and see it is kind of normal

Do you receive email about Complete or portal?
Bump
I actually can't find an email notifying me that I am all complete. I just looked at the portal and said everything was in after I submitted
II today, IS Re-applicant, 3.7+ GPA, 516 MCAT
Complete date?
I have no clue when I was actually marked complete but I submitted my secondary July 13th based on the application fee receipt email and I had everything else already in long before then.
Oh cool
Congrats! When were you complete?
August 12th, I paid and was complete. I received the secondary July 25th.
Stats? URM or ORM?

applied to this school a week ago and havent gotten a secondary yet, you think I should call or sit tight for a week more ?
General question about the MMI: Do we have to talk for 8 minutes straight? Or is it much more conversational where we can talk for a couple of minutes with follow up questions?
The interviewer will ask follow up questions. And if you finished before 8 minutes, you can leave
