For you and others who received an interview- what specialty did you select?
I can't remember where I saw this, but I think these essays are reviewed by the specialty leaders to select separate interview candidates?

Yeah, because April 1, 2, 3 are the only being offered (or so it appears?) I'm hoping that they save later dates for us lower stat holistic applicants!
Good luck everyone!
Congratulations! Around what time did the email come? Do you mind sharing your stats? (LizzyM scores kinda confuse me lol)

Same lol I submitted on the 5th with LM 68, looks like everyone so far is atleast LM 70+. Hopefully we get a chance in later interviews😆
Let’s be real...the vast majority of those accepted to this “primary care” centric program will be very high stat applicants, with most of their clinical experience and demonstrated interest being geared more towards various sub-specialties than family medicine. Maybe a few will have spent a few days shadowing a primary care doc.
So...the school will email rejected applicants late in the cycle, as if they’re being recruited, giving false hope to those who haven’t had much luck in order to squeeze a few more dollars out of them. Competitive applicants will lie in their essays about wanting to practice internal medicine in order to get free tuition at a top school. The circle of life continues. Lol.
Potentially if you can feign enough interest in primary care in your secondary essays but I personally think it's unfair to take a spot from applicants who are actually interested in primary care

got an II here as well, low gpa but high mcat, and i picked IM! i was complete really soon after the application came out. the only available dates were april 2 and 3, so i guess april 1 got filled up pretty quickly.
They’re really only hurting themselves if that’s the only reason for applying there.... but whatever c’est la vie

Has anyone with an interview chosen OB/GYN?
I chose pediatrics

my application is centered around an internal medicine sub specialty so technically i'm still telling the truth about wanting to do internal medicine.
I selected OBGYN and haven't heard
Hey there friend, I'm in the same boat as you for surgery. They're probably going to interview and accept a really low number of surgery students since it's not really primary care.
Just some friendly words of advice. I feel like disconnecting from the internet and focusing on distracting yourself might be in your best interest. Constantly refreshing sdn, email and portals put me in a toxic place until I realized what it was doing to me. I'm hoping to go out and get lost in photography all weekend cuz I have an engagement party, model and a much-needed hike all scheduled. TGIF.
Currently photoshopping myself onto sports teams and had Elon Musk pose as me to take my MCAT last month. LOR is from Atul Gawande. That should be enough, but if not, I guess I can donate a building
Chose pediatrics. Submitted my essays last night at like 10:30 pm, got an II this morning! ORM LM ~75, quite low GPA but very high MCAT, also from the nearby area and coincidentally one of the LORs in my committee letter packet is from a doctor whose private practice works with Winthrop.
Available dates were April 4th and 5th for me! Very pleasantly surprised at the turnaround for this one.

I just feel stupid for writing a 2500 character essay instead of a long paper. I bet they went through my app and were like yea she doesn’t seem interested even though I’ve always wanted to do internal medicine. Oh wellllll it is what it is
I don't think they really take the length of the essays into consideration, mine were around 2500-3000 characters long (received II)
Congrats! when were you complete?
Thanks! About 2 weeks ago.

All these people saying they're screening for high stat applicants and I have high stats but no II. I think they're looking for tons of primary care related experience.
I received II Thursday evening. I submitted March 4th. Average GPA, good MCAT. I chose internal medicine. I’m a little bit of a different candidate, I come from a public health background and really enjoy longitudinal medicine/internal medicine. Interview options were April 4, 5, 7. I’m going April 5th.
100th percentile, my gpa is not the greatest because of a specific high credit science course but there were extenuating circumstances that I’ve been able to successfully communicate to other schools this cycle.
