So is like the Pritzker MSTP cancelled this year? Lol. No IIs reported, no Rs, not on the master MD/PhD interview date schedule, 1 month behind last year on first II reported on sDN...

Checking in with that fresh 7/9 rejection.

LM ~80. First R

When did y'all get the email? I was complete on 7/9 and still haven't heard either way but I'm assuming it's probably a rejection at this point :/

If you were complete earlier than people getting R's rn that means they probably have you on their version of a hold, so still a chance for II later

Your LM is 75 and im sure you have good EC's I wouldn't say massive reach, Pritzker is a reach for everyone tho

I'm really in the school-specific threads now a days so idk about the rest of sdn but the 2018-2019 school threads have been dope

 

[Lucca]

that feel when applicants with 8+ II's are getting rejected from pritzker yet I got an II sitting here with 3 II's... wut.jpg

Fit matters! Sometimes you’re the right person for the right school

Is the massacre over? Can we come out?

Does anyone else feel like the past week and a half has been less fruitful than expected w regards to II? Got 6 II pre August 10th but have been radio silence since Mid August when the floodgates were supposed to "open".

just realized how douchey I probably sound with this. Sorry - Just looking for thoughts if anyone has been in the same boat .

LizzyM 78-80, 10 ii’s and rejected this morning.

 

[WorkandPork]

having multiple II does not mean you should get them at every school. it is pretty pointless to say how many II you have

 

[premed404]

i saw a post talking about # of ii’s and rejections so I thought it would be useful for other candidates to gauge where they are at respectively.

I did not in any way imply that I thought I deserved an ii at UChicago. it is simply a metric, although probably an insigificant one but who knows

everyone has different applications so comparing how many II you have to someone else is completely irrelevant. nobody should think that because you have 10 II that they should compare that to themselves

I just received an II. WEIRD thing is that I applied MSTP which is supposed to be a two-day interview, but the email only talks about a single day. When I go into the portal, I have options to choose my interview date on a calendar. It says, "MD/MSTP/MeSH" but again is just for one day. Huh?? Thoroughly confused right now...gonna contact them to ask. Meanwhile, does anyone with experience have any insight?

bruh, sounds like you got an mstp invite to me and they just had an error in the e-mail text

 

[looptheloop]

Hah, I hope so! I just emailed them to ask. It's just weird that the interview selection calendar is blocked out for single days at a time.

 

[looptheloop]

So is like the Pritzker MSTP cancelled this year? Lol. No IIs reported, no Rs, not on the master MD/PhD interview date schedule, 1 month behind last year on first II reported on sDN...

The fact that the MSTP interview days don't show up on the national calendar is also odd...

 

[Furont]

Rejected today and I was completed on 7/16.
I'm not surprised though.
LM: 68

Congratulations and good luck to the ones getting interviews!

 

[looptheloop]

bruh, sounds like you got an mstp invite to me and they just had an error in the e-mail text

You called it, dude! Just got another email from them saying:

I write to correct a small error: Earlier today, you mistakenly received our MD interview invitation email instead of the correct MSTP interview invitation email.

And then another email with the correct invitation

 

[Lucca]

You called it, dude! Just got another email from them saying:

And then another email with the correct invitation

knew it! Congrats! remember two weeks ago when you were worrying about 0 invites? lol

 

[looptheloop]

Lol, yup!
And thank you!

[arabet]

[TempuraOreos]

Holy smokes, this wave of rejections today was scary. I still haven't heard back from them.

 

[tanbrucewayne]

Same i think but since i was complete 7/15 i think my R is still on the way

Same I’m waiting for mine too (also so I can stop thinking about the bad typo I had)

 

[reddyice]

[owlsandturtles]

[DaktaD]

[medschool19]

Are admissions working so late at night?

 

[thedarkMDknight]

Got the R an hour ago. Complete 7/8. Good luck everyone!! Keep the dream alive haha

 

[Happymadness]

Are admissions working so late at night?

Someone on the Yale thread said she saw Admissions people leaving the building at ~8:30pm.

 

[jj_Sharp2]

Here I was thinking I managed to avoid the guillotine...

Rejected just now. Complete 7/8. LizzyM-75

Gl everyone

 

[reddyice]

Damn so I should be expecting my rejection soon, I thought since they rejected someone complete after me I was clear

 

[Blob_459]

[MomJeansandDadJorts]

Anybody done later in July get a rejection yet? I’m just waiting for mine to roll in any second

 

[EChang101]

Complete 7/12 and still haven’t heard anything yet. Idk how to feel about it

 

[bball0718]

Complete 7/7 and received the R so I guess they’re moving through a lot of the early submitters. Good luck to everyone still in the mix! I’ve always loved Chicago, guess I’ll just have to visit as a tourist now lol

Oh no they’re definitely coming for me now (complete 7/6). Sorry to hear that

 

[treesnm3s]

Sorry to hear about everyone's Rs. I hope this doesn't sound callous but are they all pre-II or are there any post-interview rejections?

 

[oil_rig]

I've given up on trying to figure out where I am in the queue for Pritzker. Someone in this thread got an II and was complete 8/6 but there's tons of people here complete well before but sitting in radio silence???

 

[dodolol21]

I'm assuming all of these are pre-interview
