Stupid question: On the second question regarding the MD/PhD stuff (which I am not doing), should I click No Major/Not Applicable or just leave it blank? It's kind of oddly presented...

I just left it blank, and I was able to submit my application, so I think it's okay to leave it blank?

I called them earlier this week and they said they haven't released any IIs yet and will probably do so during the end of August.

From invite email:

Thanks, I saw that. I heard that there are group interviews so any insight from ppl who have interviewed here before would be helpful! [emoji4]

[mdtobe1896]

Just curious, are here any applicants here that are also volunteers at UConn Health?

Not a volunteer, but I did research at Uconn health

 

[futurebostondoc227]

I got a "reminder" to submit my secondary application, but no secondary application invite or username and password. Searched my spam too. Anyone else have this problem?

 

[Boros]

Waiting for that IS love

 

[deweystrontium]

Waiting for that IS love

Same bro. It's hard out here. Lol.

 

[2018Premed]

Has anyone else gotten interviews from UCONN in the past week or heard of IIs being sent out this week? Just curious since there hasn't been much activity on this thread.

 

[deweystrontium]

Received II via personal email. Portal doesn't reflect this recent communication. Nevertheless, ecstatic to be interviewing at my top choice!

II today! In-state, ORM, complete 8/13 (first school I submitted!) Anyone know what the interview format for this school is? (Traditional, MMI, group interview, etc) and what the post interview acceptance is approximately?

Edit: After doing a quick online search, I think the post-interview rate is around 50-60%, and the interview format is two one-on-one traditional (open file) interviews, one with a faculty and one with a student. I'm not sure why it says group interview is part of the process on MSAR... maybe it's referring to a group activity? Please, anyone, correct me if I'm wrong !

Dr. Regan (the dean of admissions) sits down with each group together and asks some easy, get-to-know-you questions. There’s also a brief mock TBL session exercise. Maybe that’s what they meant?

Hi all! Congrats to everyone with IIs! I’m a current first-year; I can answer questions about the admissions process and my experiences so far. (Also, I found the SDN interview feedback section to be a great resource about this interview.)

Can confirm that it is a group activity, not really an interview.
