Accepted this morning! The online applicant center says something about the supplemental application and I see nothing about the Student Information Form...not helping my worry that somehow they made a mistake. Has this happened to anyone?

Yes - I sent a letter of interest because I'm just that persistent about getting an interview here haha. They sent an email a few days later thanking me for my update and that they've added it to my application, so I say go for it.

Hmmm, I sent a letter about a month ago but I never received a response, should I resend it? I did send it to a specific member of the admissions team, I hope they didnt quit... lol
 
Who else interviewed today? There were two or three dozen of us. I took Casper the last possible day, but since they said they were going to need two months to respond to us, I think it's okay.

Hey! I wanted to send them an update/LOI as well but then i saw this in their 'secondary application received' email:

"Your application will be under consideration until we invite you for an interview or inform you that it is no longer under consideration. There is no need to send updates or further information unless specifically requested."

now i'm too scared to send it :/
 
I sent an update like a month ago because on their admissions site it specifically says you can send them....but still response from a month ago so who knows

Hm! I sent it to the general admissions email. You could always resend it to that email and just say that you're sending it a second time to ensure they rec'd it. Good luck!!

I was scared to as well for that very reason in the email, but their website does say they accept updates, so I just made sure to make my letter of interest a mix of updates/why I would be a good fit for their program. I really really really want to interview here so I was willing to go out on a limb haha good luck!

Hey you could try Manchester in NH or Plattsburgh in NY... you'd have to rent a car or take a bus or something but they often have better deals, I often fly out of Manchester when I'm going out west cuz they have Southwest!

Hey guys! I'm trying to reserve my seat in the class. I made an account with the UVM portal and clicked on the "Admitted Student Information Form" like asked. The only thing this form asked however is for my SSN. Is that supposed to be it? After I entered it all it said was data saved.. From this point on do I just have to wait the 48 hours? Thanks!!!

Just received a confirmation email that they received my update. Sent it a little bit ago. Thought it was an II for a second, but I should know better.
 
I received an II at 10am - I'm literally in shock, this is my first II! I was complete mid-August

Could any of the ladies on this thread give advice on an outfit for the interview? Did you see a lot of pant suits vs suits with skirts, heels vs flats, what type of bags, etc? I really appreciate it, thanks!!!
 
Sorry if this is a stupid question as this will be my first mmi, but when you're given the question do you have access to the question when you're giving your response or do you onky get to look at it in the first few min you have?

At UVM, the question is in the room for you to reference, at some schools it is not in the room.

All mix of pants vs. skirts. Same with shoes. I'd say wear whatever is most comfortable for you. There wasn't a lot of walking so if you have a pair of heels already broken in, you'd be totally fine. I wore flats though because it's more comfy. =) I don't think you really need a bag to carry things around (they have storage if you are bringing a travel bag/suitcase) but I brought a small cross-body bag and maybe a few other people had one? Didn't notice a lot of bags.

Woo Closer Look Day is officially April 16th! My family wants to come up to Burlington with me to see the school and the city. Are families invited to this event or is it more for just the accepted students?

Anybody else send in an update a long time ago and just get a response? I'm hoping it means they're reviewing my file again or something but it's so late in the interview season I don't want to give myself false hope.

Looks like families are welcome too, if you go to the RSVP page it asks if you will be bringing anyone else!

I have noticed that they seem to end interviewing at the end of this month. Anyone know if that is the case this year?
 
does anyone know how much weight the mmi holds in terms of your overall acceptance/WL/reject? I feel as though it would count a lot since its standardized and everyone can be compared to each other, but do all the other aspects of your app still get considered post-interview or is it solely the MMI score?

I don't remember if they said anything specifically, but I believe it is well known across sdn that schools do a holistic evaluation post-interview. I.e it's not good interview=acceptance (although that certainly helps). For what it's worth, I thought my MMI and team building exercise both went well and was accepted. My stats were right at the median for both MCAT and GPA. Rooting for you dude!
