I'm pretty sure the order in which they review apps is based on metrics (GPA and MCAT), though interviews and acceptances are of course holistic. That's what FAU says if you read their FAQ, and I'm pretty sure FIU also does the same. Most people in last years thread didn't start hearing back until September probably.
mind sharing when you were complete?
Submitted July 1st. Letters came in July 18th.
I wonder why my "preliminary review" has not been completed". Have been submitted since 6/28.
Is it abnormal that I have been "secondary application complete" since I submitted in late July?

That is what I have and I was submitted 6/28 (1 month before you). So...hopefully not "abnormal" haha
Better than my "secondary application completed" status which I've had since I submitted ~July 20th.

Mine also says that and I have been complete since the same day. I am an IS applicant.
I got prelim review back in early August. I think it might just be an algorithm or something.
Congrats! Mind sharing your stats?
Thanks!! LizzyM mid 70s, completed 1.5 weeks ago
Anyone have their interview yet?
I'll be there next monday! My first interview of the season so i will let you all know how it goes. Based on previous feedback it seems to be pretry casual.
I'll be there Monday, too. First interview as well. Was hoping for some feedback but it looks like we might be the pioneers😎 Good luck to you!
I submitted my secondary on 7/24 and status is still "secondary submitted". Has anyone submitted around the same time has a status change yet?

Secondary submitted or secondary completed? Mine says secondary completed from the day I submitted my secondary but I have never received any email confirmation.
Mine says secondary completed, and when I contacted them about it they said that means it's complete and will be reviewed shortly.

At least they reviewed your application. I'm just sitting here waiting for a status change. When did you completed your secondary?
I would say youre in better shape it just means they haven't gotten to you yet. They reviewed me but have not felt moved enough to offer me an invite. Maybe Im overthinking it lol
Complete 7/12
Lol you are definitely overthinking it. For me I feel like my stats are not good enough so they're not reviewing my application yet so at least your stats are better than mine to pass the computer screening. And I completed my secondary like two weeks after you did.
My stats are pretty damn low too GPA wise. I did attend FIU for undergrad which could mean why they reviewed me a little sooner than others. If you completed two weeks later though you're pretty much on the same track.
What was your status before review completed?
"Secondary received" or something to that effect.
Bruh i've been under "secondary completed" since 7/3 lol
Just relax guys. You'll get news when you get news. It took me a while to hear back as well.
+1 the above.
The honest truth is that those with Lizzy M's of 70+ are going to get the very first interviews and acceptances. Wait until after Thanksgiving to start freaking out.

Kind of non-trad. Failed first year college (both semesters). Restarted my first year and did well at a CC. Graduated CC with 3.3 and moved on to FIU to finish Bachelors with 3.5 overall. 33 (~512 for new scoring I think) MCAT, published research, tons of clinical experience, tons of volunteering.
AAMCAS gpa with first year averaged into my stats was around 3.1. Wasn't easy but I made my case and here I am sitting in epidemiology as an M1 posting on SDN.
