9/18 Grand Rapids interview, got a call yesterday evening that I was in. I recall being told that decisions would be 'sent out' Oct. 19th, so I'm guessing the emails/portal changes will arrive then.

alternate list 6/18 interview
I don't mean to bring up bad feelings but do you think you could comment on why you believe you were waitlisted? Did the interview not go well? Congrats on receiving the interview though! Feedback would be really appreciated.

I thought that the interview went well and the MMI was a breeze. I think in the end it just came back to my MCAT score being too low. It was lower than their average so I was surprised I even got an interview.

I have my interview here next week and think I'm a strong interviewer, but I'm kind of nervous too because my MCAT isn't the highest (506). Best of luck to you with the rest of the admissions process.

Any general interview advice? This is my dream school and my interview is Friday.

Just be yourself. 🙂 My interview was really casual, and the MMI structure was frightening going in because I had no idea what to expect, but it actually ended up being fun. I would say carefully consider all aspects of questions, but make sure you let your own thoughts and opinions shine through.

The med student I interviewed with was really friendly and welcomed all questions, so that also put me at ease.
 
Anyone else from the 9/29 interview not hear back yet? I thought today would be the day since I didn't hear from them last week but I'm still waiting.

for anyone who got on the alternate list, what do u include in a Letter of intent? I am not sure if i should put activities in there or put that separately on the portal?
 
I got a phone call tonight that I was accepted!!!! I'm IS and interviewed on Oct 9. This is so exciting and I still can't believe that I'm going to be a doctor. I keep repeating it to myself but it just isn't getting through. I'm wishing everyone else the very best of luck!

Congrats! I didn't expect them to call on a Monday night. At my interview, we were told that we'd get calls on Tuesdays, unless they review EL and GR interviewees separately..Mind me asking where did you interview?
