The numbers are certainly competitive. But the equation depends on so many other factors and randomness that it is far from a guaranteed interview.
Congrats! One step closer to being by Maroon Bells for 4 years. 🙂
It's still very early to be thinking about a silent rejection. Last year they ended up sending out 4784 secondaries and they are nowhere near that so far this season. If you're dying of curiosity, they periodically update their admissions tracker to show a count of how many secondaries and ultimately how many offers have gone out so far. As of 9/7, 988 secondaries had gone out. Heres the link if anybody wants something new to obsessively check: http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/medicalschool/education/Admissions/Pages/admissions.aspx
CU actually reads primary apps prior to sending out secondaries and with 5700 applications that takes some time with a limited amount of people reading apps. Just be patient, but the secondaries actually do mean they are interested in learning more about you not just that your scores met a minimum.
Thanks for the link! Another school with the cool admission trackers!
I got an II a few days ago. I will also be interviewing for the rural track as well. Nervous and excited all at once!
The current students on my interview day had amazing things to say about the rural track!
Anything in particular that you remember them saying? I love rural medicine and Colorado is so rural I feel like I would love to be in their track! Most of my experience is in rural medicine.
It usually takes about 1~2 weeks for FAP to be processed
Congrats!! Are you IS or OOS?
Just checked my status. Mine took forever too! Secondary submitted 9/2 payment received 9/27.
They are open file (but interviewers do not know your GPA or MCAT score). Interviews can be with a broad spectrum of peeps from school community members to volunteers to current students to faculty.
Community members? Like they just find people from outside to interview you?
They are usually practicing clinicians (at the UC Hospital), professors of the school, or current medical students.
Yeah that makes way more sense.
I should have clarified... School community members (not necessarily faculty or students, but other staff/volunteers/affiliates etc.).
Last year I interviewed with a social worker
In the interview invite email there is a link with information on the interview. One of the bullets is about where to stay and there is an email address for people interested in staying with a student host.
look up "Flat Iron Flyer"
