Getting into Med School is Hard? Not with BeMo.

Not that I really care at this point, but I submitted everything in July and didn't even move past the "under review" phase. Anybody in a similar situation? I feel like I just wasted money applying here.

@anyone who has been accepted- how long did it take to receive the packet in the mail? I wrote back after I received my acceptance email and got confirmation that it would be added to my file. But my status on the portal hasn't changed. I want to make sure that I put down my deposit in time if there is one. At other schools I know they will give away your spot if you dont

I just received the acceptance letter in the mail and some vague instructions on final transcripts but I was told that they will be sending pre-matriculation steps around March.

I have been scored for two months now and submitted an update in October. I have yet to here anything new from them. Is it worth sending a LOI? Miami is definitely one of my top choices. I'm IS, Non-trad with a Lizzie M ~70-71.

Should I update them about a new clinical job I've been doing since October? Do you think it would make a difference in my chances of getting interviewed?

Dear Miller,
I wrote you but you still ain't scorin',
I left my email, primary and that long ass secondary at the bottom,
I sent two update letters this autumn, you must not-a got 'em,
There was probably an issue at the admissions office or somethin'....
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, **** it, what's been up? Man how's your curriculum?
My manuscript's getting published too, I'm 'bout to be an author
If I write another, guess what I'm a call her?
I'ma name it Miami
I read about your creepy porn student too I'm sorry
I had a classmate do something similar over some bitch who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the turnover chain, I've been following since before Sean Taylor, fam,
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
I like the the hire of Dr. Ford too, that **** was fat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
Just to interview, truly yours, your biggest fan
This is WESLEY

Do they reject pre interview or wait until the end of cycle?

I'm tempted to say no, they wait until the end of the cycle. I'm basing this interpretation on the fact that their whole interview and acceptance process is based on score.

As you know, pre-II your application is scored, and at pre-set intervals they invite ~15-20 of the top scores remaining to schedule an interview. After interview, your application is re-scored and placed on a new list of everyone who has interviewed. At pre-set intervals they accept ~15-20 of the highest scorers off the post-interview list. There is no "waitlist", only a list ranked by your post-interview score.

I think the only pre-II R would be if you weren't invited to complete a secondary.
 
Roughly how many interviewees have been accepted so far after being placed on the alternate list? Curious how much movement is going to happen after 4/30 compared to during the active interview cycle.
 
Just got reviewed after a late July submission...approximately how long does it take to hear back after being reviewed? And is there any hope for an interview still now that it's January?

at my interview day, they said no financial aid decisions are coming out until late february because of the new traffic rules (on Feb 19 we do the plan to enroll)

Ah perfect thank you! They have had like no communication where other programs have sent stuff about background checks and second look
 
Anyone know if they accept letters of intent? This is my top choice school and I'm considering writing one since I've been on the alternate list for 2 months now.
 
Anyone know when second look day is or where to find the information for it?

It's hilarious(read: heartbreaking) to see the juxtaposition in this thread between accepted students asking about more info and the rest of us asking for our money back. :')

Have people received access to CaneLink and know when we need to put a deposit down by? I was accepted to the MD/MPH program at the end of November and never received access and am unsure if there is anything else I needed to do besides replying that I accept the seat in the class. Thanks people!

Did everyone get an email from admissions about the secondary application deadline if I have taken the casper and if I havent taken the casper it is too late for this cycle? I submitted in sept and took the casper in august, but my application hasn't been reviewed. So, I was wondering if I should call to see if there's an issue or if this was a mass email. Thanks!

Just checked my Casper account to see if my results had been sent to them, and they have so I think (hope) it was just a mass email
