Anyone know if there is a way to submit application updates? Silence since July lol

I believe you can upload them right in the portal!

 

[tictac3]

how receptive/encouraging are they with updates/letters of interest?

 

[SilveoDante]

how receptive/encouraging are they with updates/letters of interest?

I personally have a hard time believing that an update letter/letter of interest (pre-ii) has swayed an adcom into inviting someone for an interview...ever...in history.

For those who submit them and then receive ii's shortly thereafter...those people would have likely received one anyway.

Just my two cents. But as the old saying goes: it can't hurt.

 

[Blue1975]

Rejected. Complete july 19. Good luck everyone else.

I'm sure it's a lot cheaper to get a rental car

Maybe they aren't 25. Kind of sucks for us younger ones.

If you register through USAA and book a rental car through them, you don't get the under 25 fee.

Even if you're under 25, considering the difference in cost it is still less than an uber 🙂

Complete 7/26 and silence. I've seen a lot of rejections around our complete date, so it's good news that we are still in the running!

7/7 & silence

 

[OrangeMed]

Is OWBU a public or private university? MSAR says Public, but Wikipedia says Private.

 

[StephenCurry1]

Oakland University if public, but OUWB the medical school is a private university. This means there is no instate quota

Oh I see. That makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

Really want an II from here -- I'll feel a bit more secure knowing that I have a chance at three solid in-state schools

The only nice is silence from here really means still in the running, since they are quick to reject when they know you don't fit the school.

 

[sandyman237]

Complete 7/26 and sent in an update. Hoping to hear from Oakland soon!

Oh, I don't know like exact timelines or anything but there are a lot of people complete in July-Sept who have definitely been rejected, so if you were complete during that time and you haven't, it can be read as a good thing. Maybe it's wishful thinking lol.

 

[brett1234]

How long are the interviews?

 

[Lunistrella]

How long are the interviews?

2 30 minute traditional style interviews

Is the team based activity evaluated or more just an experience?

Still looking for an uber buddy for anyone arriving in Michigan tomorrow afternoon for the 11/17 interview! I checked out the rental prices from DTW and it seems like its $84 ish/ day so its a bit more expensive than using Uber.

Please let me know if you're interested =)

Hmm.. as a metro Detroit local, this sounds like a good business opportunity. SDN Driver Network (conveniently abbreviated SDNDN). My Plan B to medical school.

Rejected just now. Oh well not too worried I kind of saw it coming. Complete 07/20
