2017-2018 University of Miami (Miller)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Still no score-complete 7/30, but seems like they are finally making their way to end of july apps? At this point I want an OOS interview just to know that there wasn't something toxic in my app that is driving everyone away ughh

+1! This is already an improvement since I wasn’t scored (or at least according to the portal) last cycle. :D

Edit: was complete 7/6 or so

I was complete early September!
They might've scored my app quickly because I have ~520 MCAT.

I’ve given up trying to understand any admissions processes and just chalk everything up to a crap shoot hahaha, I’m happy to make any progress at all ^^ congrats on that score though!

It changed from “decision had been made” yesterday to “the final admissions committee decision will be available on October 16th”

Did it change at all for you?

That's what mine says too! Crossing fingers for us :)

II! Complete 9/22. First one I've received so far. Could choose preferred dates from November - March and had to resist turning the interview into a Spring Break trip! :headphone:

I submitted my secondary on August 14 and have been stuck as "Your Application is currently under review by the Admissions Committee at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine." For both the MD and the MD/MPH programs. Is this normal? Getting a little antsy over here for some movement...

I have been there since 7/15. So who knows...

Any suggestions for a healthy number of times to check the portal each day? Asking for a friend

Just checked and my app was reviewed - complete 08/24
 
Ah you were one of the re-scheduled interview dates if I remember correctly? That may be why 9/18ers like me don't have our decisions yet, maybe they gave preference to review reports for people who were scheduled before but had to interview later due to the hurricane. And I don't think they mentioned 10/4 at our date either. Makes more sense now :)


I interviewed 9/18 and I've had the final decision status for about a week now. The dates on the Hub are dates they send out acceptances, not the dates the committee meets. At my interview they told us the first committee meeting was on the 4th, and it makes sense that the first acceptance date listed on the Hub is the 16th, which is the first date allowed by AAMC for schools to send out acceptances.

I honestly do not recall the talk about the 4th but I interviewed on the 18th too, so I may have just been zoned out :p

Not sure what the hold up is, but I still don't have a final decision :confused: hope I don't get spilled over to the next acceptance date

You still have the final decision status? I had it and then it changed on 10/04

Dr. Gervais mentioned it during her meeting with us a couple times! We had the first interview date of the cycle so I don't think you should get spilled over, it may just be a glitch in the portal or something, who knows! Hopefully we both hear good news next week :highfive:

Yeah mine changed to this as well after a couple of days! Technically this still says a final decision has been made without using those words! Good luck!!
 
Anyone know whether Miller is receptive to in the area requests?
 
For those of you who have gotten IIs, how long did it take between getting scored and getting the interview?

dats lateeeeeeeeeee

Yeah lowkey. There was one date for December and a few for January(atleast 3). I'm sure people will cancel a bit after acceptances come out because while it's great school people like myself are running out of travel money haha.
 
so do we think the U does the silent rejection? Submitted for the MD program on 7/21 and still not scored...

I'm in the exact same boat except theres a lot of people who are scored with no interview still- I don't get it, I don't think we could be rejected without being scored that doesnt make sense

I was rejected last cycle without getting scored, so no silent rejections from here!

Did your LizzyM improve a lot from last time? I see that you said you got scored this cycle. Maybe they wait to score lower stats people but if they wait too long (enough acceptances) they reject without scoring

My LizzyM actually didn’t change, lol. Chalking it up to better luck this time around :)

EDIT: Also, people have said that you can get scored without it being reflected in the portal, so maybe that’s what happened in my case :thinking:

Or your impatience is getting the best of you. Relax. With those stats, you'll be going to several interviews I am sure. ( unless you have crazy IAs and such)

Anyone know what we should be expecting from the MPH day of the MD/MPH interviews? Would it be anything different than standard MD stuff like policy questions?

Just so ppl understand - there's only 1 interview. You're either part of the majority (interview 1st day at the main campus) or part of the minority (interview 2nd day at the regional campus).

I'm not sure how these interviews differ, but in my experience faculty were vary warm and welcoming at both campuses.

Oh wow I totally did not see that part on the email (must have glossed over it out of excitement!), thank you so much for the response! That is a huge relief actually.
 
What important information is on the hub app for the interview? None of the documents will open for me. Also anyone know the address of the regional campus?
 
Complete around 7/18 - 7/25, still not scored. Does that just mean they haven't seen my app yet and there is hope? This is one of my top and this silence is hurting. lol
 
So we can expect to hear tomorrow?

I believe so! It says on the Hub app that they notify accepted applicants at about 5PM. I’m not sure when wait listed applicants will be notified.

Acceptance dates throughout the year and addresses related to the interview was all I really looked at

According to the last couple years worth of threads, people who are accepted get called ~5pm and if you don't get called, you will likely receive an alt list email the morning after
