Hey guys, I need to update my grad transcript with Iowa. Can we do this through AMCAS or do I need to email them?

If you already submitted your app, then email UI. If not, AMCAS

Nice. I know a few other IS applicants that haven't heard anything yet. I wonder if they send those after they send the most qualified OOS candidates a secondary? Who knows.

Don’t worry too much about secondary timing if you are IS. I got my Iowa secondary later than most of the other schools I applied to. It was also one of my last interviews. I was accepted and starting in a few weeks. IS applicants are almost gaurnteed an interview as long as you meet the minimum MCAT and GPA. Good luck!

Congrats on the II’s! When were you both complete? & stats if you don’t mind :)

I'm just curious - do you have ties to the state/university or have a specific reason for applying to Carver? Seems like you would have a good shot at T20 with those stats and seems a little odd to apply OOS to Iowa. Your MCAT is like 5 points above the matriculant 90th percentile.

I may be biased, being an Iowa lifer and Hawkeye fan, but if I'm not mistaken, Carver has one of the better MD programs in the country. (US news #32 in research, 2018)

Not that this really matters.

That's a totally fair question, I'm actually from WI, have ties to the state, and am interested in rural family med. Honestly it was kind of just on my list before I got my MCAT score back and I felt like it was worth the money to just have the option. (AKA I'd already pre-written the secondaries lol)

I was complete 7/17 and stats are in my signature
 
II Today! Complete 7/18, LM = 77, OOS!

Congrats! Do you have insane EC’s?! You have so many interviews!

To be honest, I’m shocked by how everything’s going, I thought I had pretty average EC’s to be quite honest (clinical and non-clinical volunteering, shadowing, research but not published, some leadership positions) nothing like out of the ordinary
 
Anyone know if the “your application is pending a final decision” status is more like a hold? Or are they waiting to reject later?

I assume that just means we're complete and in the queue to be reviewed/being reviewed.

I hope it's that we're being reviewed, rather than what I said in my first post, considering before I had "your file is complete". I guess time will tell.

I received an II on 8/14 and I am still seeing the "pending a final decision" message, so I would not worry about that.

Current M2 checking in. I'd be happy to answer any questions about the school or applying process.
 
Check your portal. I have received an on-campus II but no email about it. I was complete Aug 4.

What was your experience with CBL? Did you like it, dislike it, or kind of indifferent?

Disliked the first semester CBL. Our facilitator was a turd who has since retired. Second semester was much better. I was with two anesthesiologists who were very knowledgeable and led our group with more clinical emphasis.

CBL is very facilitator dependent. Most are great, but I've heard a couple complaints about others.

Wow, that was quick, congrats! Are you a high stat IS applicant?

I think it really varies how fast you get an invite. I wouldn't consider myself a high stat instate applicant, and the turnaround for me from secondary completion to II was one week.

I have an interview in October and currently have a pair of light grey dress pants, a white blouse, and a light blue blazer. It looks really nice on, especially since I have blue eyes, but now I’m worried it’s not professional enough. Thoughts? How strict on dress are they? Obviously it is professional looking but I’m stressin’ now
