Did anyone call or email? I am in the same boat here. Week 11 passed 🙁 I am thinking to email them

I haven't called... Based on previous posts it seems like the people who have called have received the same "we get a lot of apps and our adcom is small" response. The current students who have posted on here have said that same exact thing, too, so I'll just take their advice and wait it out! There's nothing else to be done, it seems

i'm in the same boat, nothing but silence and submitted secondary back in mid July and completed casper Aug 10th :/ does this school do silent rejections? or when do rejections pre-II usually come out?
Click to expand...

Rosalind does not do silent rejections, but the rejections tend to come out towards the end of the cycle. Last year there were a few people who were complete in the summer and only got an interview after Christmas; however, generally when the other applicants who were complete after you are getting II, the odds are not in your favor.
 
Hope my app isnt too late. I submitted 8/15 but forgot to send my CASPer......sent that 2 weeks ago but emailed them and they said that my complete date will be when they recieved my CASPer 🙁

Haven't gone through this thread but any OOS individuals recieve any updates? I was complete on Aug 3 and haven't heard anything. Just emailed them to check the status since there isn't a portal (none that i am aware of at least)

OOS here! I was also complete on 8/3, II on 10/7, and interviewed on 10/15.....and now my watch begins

I was complete 8/4 and still haven't heard anything (last Friday was week 11)... but then again, I have a low LizzyM (64-66) so maybe you'll do better @Cell Nucleus! Good luck!

Your lizzyM of 64-66 is not bad at all or too far out of reach for this school. And it certainly does not give a holistic view of you as an applicant.

There is no doubt in my mind that there is still hope left for us. Keep your chins up.
 
Could someone tell me how many MMI stations there are? Just ignore if you're not allowed to share that.

I'm also curious to know the general schedule for the day. I'm doing an afternoon interview session and the emails I've gotten just tell me what time to check in, but I'd like to know if the interview happens right away and if there will be a tour and time to talk with students and administrators. Also would love to know when the interview day is expected to end. Anybody know?

There were 8 stations in the MMI [with one rest station].

The day consisted of a welcoming talk outlining your day and a quick presentation by a physician before we got split into three groups. 1 group starts at the MMI, 1 group starts on the tour, and 1 group starts at the student panel. The groups then rotate so every applicant gets to each station so your interview might start right away or like 3 hrs into the interview day. I also had an afternoon interview and we finished ~5:00-5:30p. There was an optional "dinner social" afterwards but this was, again, optional. I ended up leaving campus ~6:15.

I submitted mid August and completed casper 8/10. Received complete email Oct 10, so I'd say you should be getting complete email shortly, wouldn't worry just yet.
 
Does "continued consideration" mean waitlisted?

After also getting that email and doing some diving into last year's thread it looks like it really is continued consideration? I specifically saw a few people who stated that they'd been given a post-interview hold, and then were accepted a month or so later. So fingers crossed we'll hear news before April?

Got II a few days ago, OOS. Looks like they plan to keep cycling in new people relatively frequently, I had to choose an interview date within the next few weeks.

Congrats! When were you complete?

Submitted Secondary 8/6, confirmed complete 8/29 (I assume the Casper score took a while to get in even though I took it in July)

What dates did they offer you? I couldn’t make the only date they gave me (today) so I signed up for the waitlist but it still only has today available....

I got the complete email 8/31. Hopefully this means I'm up for review soon!!
 
Has anyone who interviewed at the end of September heard back from CMS yet?
 
Anyone know how the review process is in detail?
 
It is really hard to gauge your performance with MMIs. I'm hoping they evaluate applicants holistically, with interviews being a small part, rather than relying solely on the interview for decisions at this point.

Anyone who actually knows the review process had to sign an NDA.

Edit: That being said, you can still figure out a few things by searching through old threads and just reconginizing the patterns (e.g the interview time line and the stats of accepted applicants).

OK, so I got an interview invite.... but it is only letting me choose one day, and no way to get on the waitlist for days other than that one day. What's up with this?? No phone number to call admissions...
