I'm still at Preliminary Review Completed since 12/8......
Been at that since September...it's been a grand ole wait
FIU needs to hire more people, so that they read and make some decisions. It is not acceptable to wait this long. I completed my secondary application in August!
Early July for me LOL... It just says "secondary completed" which is even worse. It hasn't been glanced at.
I read here and there on this thread from current students to current applicants that some went from secondary completed to II and others from prelim to II so it seems that is is either or and no rhyme or reason. Alas, one wonders why have the status anyways 😉
What is the deal of this school with Antigua in the Caribbean?
wym?
If you don't go, I'll be more than happy to go for you. XD
II!!!!!

I did call them, and they said that they were still reviewing a lot of applications. I would recommend checking in if you are still at "Secondary Complete" status...
I am very excited, this is one of my top choices!
... I called and they told me that pretty much they were done ... :9 Little to no hope!
I emailed them at the end of January, and they said that interviews will be conducted until the end of March. I am assuming that if we haven't been rejected yet, we are all still contenders for interviews.

First check your portal status. If you don't have Alternate List or Accepted, I would give them a call and ask.

It's not just you. I also had Feb 21 written down on my notes from Interview day (interviewed same day as you) but that turned out to be the day when my status changed to "Admissions Committee Scheduled".
Been following this thread for a while and I think that means we'll get a decision in two weeks from 21st? So my guess would be that we will hear back sometime next week !
Hope this helps

Someone told me on the week of march 20.

does anyone happen to have a link to the match list from 2015? just wanted to take a look but can't find it!
Thank you!
I thought West Kendall Baptist Hospital was our teaching hospital. Off the top of my head, I know we have FIU residency positions there and Kendall Regional Hospital. I'm not a third year, but I have not heard of lack of hospital time as being a complaint yet.
WKBH is not really a "teaching hospital". Just because they have a FM residency does not really classify them as a teaching hospital. Same with KRH, Adventura, etc. The only true teaching hospital that we are required to rotate at is Miami/Nicklaus Children's Hospital. I think most people have a positive experience at MCH in terms of getting exposure to academia. The other rotation sites are completely hit or miss depending on what field it is and what you want to get out of the rotation. You select the order of your clerkships via a lottery system and most of the time you can give preferences to your site that you want. Word of mouth will give you the experience that you are looking for. For example, if you want to work your ass off doing 80-100 hrs/week in surgery you can choose that. If you want to coast and do 30 hrs/week there is that option as well. The only true benefit to our system is that you get much more "hands on" experience in the clerkship as there are no residents/fellows to fight for procedures with. You will be first assist in all of your surgery/OB cases and have the opportunity to perform beside procedures (central lines, thora/paracentesis, etc) if you want to give them a try. That is extremely rare for 3rd/4th years. Downside is that most of the people you will work with (there are always the exceptions in specific specialties) are unknown community doctors that won't have any weight in your letters for residency. Most people aiming to do competitive specialties have to do multiple away rotations in order to get letters.
No problem. I'd be happy to give you answers to anything else you have questions about.
Anyone hear of WL movement lately? Looking back at last year's thread it seems like it only happened in July :/
July??? But..but..the email says before April 30th. Or am I reading it wrong?
April 30th is the day when you have to choose one acceptance if you have multiple. But as far as WL movement, I thought I read mid July from last year's FIU thread. Maybe FIU needed time to go through the WL?

anyone have the match list from Friday?! excited to check it out
Also, question for medical students.. does having a non P/F curriculum have any negative consequences? Like more competition between classmates or anything along those lines?

I assume the difference would be dropouts/those who weren't promoted/those who didn't match. I also left out a couple of people who only had prelim medicine matches but no advanced positions.
He's missing a bunch of folks (1 anesthesia, 1 ortho, 2+ med-peds, etc). In total, we matched 112/114.
