To those of you who have interviewed here did any of you notice that your thank you note was uploaded to your file? Is this typical...

No because they are not on rolling admissions. You have just as good a chance as I.

They will probe very hard on your research. A few of the interviewers might even tell you about their research, then ask you questions about it. Be ready! Especially if you get notorious Mr. Vitamin D!

I have similar stats, expecting rejection as well. Would you share where you received IIs?

Yeah, it was disappointing. But, NJMS, RWJMS, and Case Western Reserve. Just hoping for at least one acceptance, after that we can chillaxxxxx
 
II just now - LM ~80, complete mid-August. Honestly wasn't expecting that! Current available dates are in first three weeks of November.

Is it too late to throw in an app?

I just interviewed here and Dean Witzburg said during his closing remarks that BU believes it shouldn't matter when you submit your application, so definitely worth a shot!
 
Just got an II!!! Was starting to think i wasn't going to hear back from anyone

I got the impression that BU takes into consideration all the communication you have with the school. How long after your interview did the note get uploaded? I sent a thank you email to my interviewer a couple days ago and haven't seen it uploaded yet.
 
Rejected today (complete late july). Best of luck to everyone still in the running!
 
Rejected today. 522 MCAT. 3.7 GPA. Complete late 7/28. Super nice email about how we're all exceptional applicants lol.

Yeah I have an upcoming interview at my state school and had one interview at a top 40 and one interview at a top 10 in September. I sent updates to 5 schools last weekend and esp. BU because of all the rejections last week. I'm slowly realizing how fickle med school admissions is so I def would say don't worry. One of my good friends last year got his II at UCLA in February was waitlisted and got in in June and that was the only school he got into so I think its just a long and arduous process. Similarly one of my other good friends got an II at UNC in March and was accepted and matriculated there and both had similar stats. I feel like the people who are interviewing at all the top schools now are the same 500 people and we will get our turn soon!

I interviewed a week ago! Very laid-back and friendly. It was all very conversational, so just being yourself is the best way to go.
