Nothing unusual. Mostly conversational, but you will most likely be asked to elaborate on your decision to apply to this particular school. I was also asked to think through some ethical scenarios. Otherwise, pretty standard IMO.

For those who have interviewed, have you received an official letter in the mail?

 

[TaiLopez]

[Yourfriendlypremed]

Complete late July

That they haven’t looked at your secondary yet

[TaiLopez]

That they haven’t looked at your secondary yet

Is there a reason for this or is their review process random?

 

[Yourfriendlypremed]

From my understanding it’s chronological. You should send in an email if u bad scores letters and everything in at the time of shbmission

What did your status say before you got the II? Congrats!

to be honest, I didn't check my portal that often so I don't really remember. I wanna say it was something like "file complete" or that kind of thing

 

[Gator2010]

Is there a reason for this or is their review process random?

So my status updated today as "review pending" and I submitted on 7/31. No idea how they review but it appears it isn't chronological. Hope this helps!
