When I looked at past threads, I noticed that things become a little quiet around this time until the new year because of the holidays.

Congrats!!! I’m super happy for you and I hope I get one like you lol. Out of curiosity, what do you think you did differently that stood out from the first time you applied?

Thanks! And Not a lot changed on paper other than the amount of hours I've worked honestly but I have grown personally a lot since the 2015 cycle and there's a huge difference in how I recounted the significance of my experiences in this application versus the previous. It honestly could've been as simple as the right person on the right day .

Congratulations. Hope you enjoy your experience there...if that is where you decide to go... any other "interviews offered"--if don't mind my asking? If I am on the admissions committee, someone who participated in college athletics who is determined is someone I'd do all I could to add to my med school population. 'suspect you're gonna be a great doc. Good luck.

Hey has anyone gone to the open house? if so, who all were there? anyone from admissions? how was the whole process?

 

[AspiringActorMD]

Hoping for some news this week. *fingers crossed*

 

[ceeattemptsmed]

Hey has anyone gone to the open house? if so, who all were there? anyone from admissions? how was the whole process?

I went to the last one. There is basically an info session led by the admissions team. After that, there is a tour that shows you the library, cadaver lab and simulation lab. Finally, there is a student panel. Also they give you food. I thought it was helpful for information but if you are going there to cozy up with the admissions office there really isn't time for that.

Does anyone know when the next batch of IIs will go out?

Congrats!!! What dates were left to choose from for your interview?

 

[Marsay]

For interview invites and acceptances, do they call you or email?

 

[CourageMD]

For interview invites and acceptances, do they call you or email?

They send an email for both.

 

[M1ready]

Thinking about calling them today to inquire about if anymore II will be going out this and/or next month

Please do. It’s getting kind of frustrating waiting to hear back from the HBCUs because they’re so slow.
