Got this status today without an email. To be honest I am not that hopeful though as I got this status last year and didn't get an II :/
I think some people last year got an II after the status, but I just wasn't one of those people. You might be though!Well that makes me feel super hopeless![]()
Is it bad news if I still have the "Your M.D. file is now complete. The Sub-Committee will now do a review of your application. Once this review is complete, you will receive a status update regarding your profile." message having been complete for over 3 weeks?

There is a pile of probably 1,000 secondary applications or more that need to be looked at before they are allowed to be file reviewed. Usually, secondary applications will be ranked and then placed into separate piles that need to be file reviewed. Since file reviews take a long time to do, you can imagine that the ranking system expedites the files that are exceptionally promising. In some cases, file reviews will take place very quickly. In other cases, it may be until the new year or beyond before a particular application is looked at intensely. It is a numbers game, and there are only so many eyes to read the applications.
For all that is good and holy, I sure hope not.I wonder if they can see how many times I check my portal per day.
Imagine that you are a volunteer premed working in a free clinic that serves a large immigrant population. Your duties include taking the patients’ medical history. Today you are working with an elderly patient who does not speak English and the adult son is translating for his mother. You notice that he is answering many of the questions for her without translating. During the conversation, the son tells you that if his mother has cancer he does not want her to know because the news “will kill her”. He says that in his family he speaks for the elderly mother and does not want a translator. How will you approach this situation? (You may seek help to answer this question.)
There's also a re-applicant essay (if applicable) and fmSTAT essays (if you want to do Family practice):
1. Describe the doctor you want to be and discuss how a career in family medicine will help you achieve that. (2500 characters)
2. Describe your concept of what Family Medicine is and tell us what specific influence led you to this understanding? (2500 characters)
Good luck to everyone applying!

I believe fmSTAT is a specific program -- it's kinda like, if you want to apply to the specific primary care track, then the other two prompts are required. However, if you only want to apply to the medical school w/out primary care track then just ethical and the re-app essay if applicable 😀So I am a bit confused. Are prompts 1 and 2 required along with the ethical essay? And which one is the re-applicant essay?
That is quite the turnaround time.
Re-applicant essay means only re-applicants should answer those questions right? So effectively there is only one prompt? What is the word/character limit on that?Hey everyone, good luck! I'm an M2 at VCU. I'm willing to answer any questions you have about VCU specifically or any generic questions about med school/applying. PM me if you want to ask something!

Congrats! Did you receive an email or was it through your portal that you've found out about II?

Can anybody explain why the VCU class is made up of approximately 50% students of Asian descent? (according to MSAR)
Oh interesting. Could you possibly point me to where they did that?They've done away with affirmative action

Anyone have any insight on this message from previous years? One poster on this thread said its like they'll keep coming back throughout the year and checking to see if you got an interview (the waiting here would be so intense sigh) while another said only some got interviews after this message.
Dang, so everyone is getting status changes and I submitted my secondary the first day it came. I guess no news is good news, right?

56 MD primaries! Why so many?
i dont think so. i checked my portal like 2 days before and said "your application is complete we'll review it." didnt check it again until i got the email.Did you receive a "very interested in your candidacy" status? Mine changed one week ago and I'm not sure what to make out of it. I'm OOS.
Still on
"Your M.D. file is now complete. The Sub-Committee will now do a review of your application"
Since mid July...
II today!!
complete 7/17,
also they did not email me saying I received an interview, all that was said was:
"***THIS IS A COMPUTER-GENERATED MESSAGE THAT IS SENT TO APPLICANTS WHOSE APPLICATION STATUS HAS CHANGED IN THE LAST 24 HOURS.***"
I then went into the portal to see an interview invite. Best of luck to all of you guys.
Congrats! Hopefully I get one too! Are you IS or OOS and did you ever receive the "very interested in your candidacy" status?
