Have they reached the 50 person quota yet?

They said they had sent an initial 50 acceptances during our interview, but they understand that they will likely have to send 100-150 total. My guess is that they have sent close to 50 or barely over. At the minimum, I would guess they will likely have to send another 50 to fill the class. Could be worse.
 
has anyone accepted received any sort of correspondence about financial aid besides the scholarship info we're all waiting on? just making sure im getting all the emails because some of their emails end up in my spam box for some reason

Nothing specific except I received an email from nova's enrollment and student services dept, saying they've received my FAFSA.
 
Interviewed 02/16 and still haven’t heard anything. No waitlist either. Was anyone put on the waitlist from the same interview day?

Also waitlisted, interviewed 02/16. Im glad that at least I heard something. I heard some people haven't heard anything since Jan. The email says that they will take off WL from March to April
 
Is this school still sending out interviews or do they do silent rejections pre II?

Their interviews end April 16, so Im assuming they've either already finished sending out II's or are wrapping that up this week
 
Does anyone know if this school is responsive to update letters/LOI?
 
They indicated in the waitlist email that they would accept additional information (i.e. letter of interest, updated transcript). Not sure if they are receptive to this information pre-II or how much they would really matter at this point since you are given a score/ranking after your interview already.

It also seems like they have filled the initial class / number of acceptances already and are just waiting for people to choose a single acceptance before any waitlist movement begins (my 2 cents)

So does that mean the next 2 interview dates are probably interviewing for the waitlist?

Yeah I am thinking of the same thing since we are given a score and ranking for the waitlist.
 

Hard to tell. I would't go into the interview thinking that. But if that is the case you want to come out of it with the best ranking/score possible!
 
Can anyone comment on the interview format? I know its MMI but is there a longer station with a more traditional interview or what? I just really do not know how to prepare for this.

Is it possible that only those with other MD acceptances are getting scholarship offers?

Definitely not. Schools can’t see what other acceptances you have. They appear to be going on order of interview/acceptance dates.

Isn't that what the multiple acceptances report is for - that schools that have accepted you can see what other schools have accepted you? I think it came out on February 10th this year.

I don't think it gets used to decide scholarships, though.

Yes, you are right. Through the AAMC multiple acceptance report, any school (MD) that has accepted you can see where else you have been accepted. I do think this probably plays a role in many scholarships. That is to say...I think you can get a scholarship even if you only have one acceptance, but having more then one probably increases the chance of getting offered something. In my own case, another school where I was accepted offered me a small merit scholarship immediately after the AAMC report came out. It could have been a coincidence...but I'm inclined to think it was not.

Offhand, do you remember when the multiple acceptance report came out? March 1?
