Just got the deferral email. Anyone have any input on the school's waitlist movement?
Sorry to hear that. That stinks. When were you complete?
Interviewed 9/30, secondary completed around early July

I just saw it too [emoji4] wait what does it mean by contingent with verified application data from AMCAS matching our records? Does that mean gpa or mcat or does it mean like the course work? Cause I'm a senior in college and took some courses different than what I put on my AMCAS am I good?

Any suggestions for the Interview ?
Some people did get rejection emails. Keep your spirits up. Good luck!
Thanks man
Just the usual in most regards.
For the student interviewer, know your secondary application.
For the faculty, know your primary, secondary, and be able to say why you want to go to TCMC and NEPA for med school.
On the feedback I saw some people got asked about what issues they see facing the NEPA area. I wasn't asked that but have something ready.
Good luck! It's a really nice building. Check out Northern Light Cafe if you have some spare time and love comfy coffee shops 🙂.
I heard back about five weeks after interview
I heard back 4 weeks and a couple of days, but they said 6-8 weeks
Thanks much!

Like others have said, the student one is super laid back and they tend to be more talkative/enthusiastic (obviously it depends on who you get) I personally had a faculty who was more reserved and harder to read. On top of that he had a very heavy accent and I had to ask him to repeat himself a couple of times. Just don't get phased if your in a similar situation where you're not getting feedback from a faculty. Its almost always their personal style/personality rather than something wrong with you.
Stay confident and be yourself!
Got a wet, soggy rejection letter post-interview today via snail mail. Interviewed 9/7. Not too bummed though. I didn't feel like I was a good fit for the school and besides, I can't see myself living in Scranton for 4 years after visiting the town. Good luck to everyone else still waiting to hear back!
