So we didn't have to upload transcripts, proof of citizenship, or optional upload documents for our app to be complete right?

Would love it if someone could please confirm!

Transcripts and optional ones no. I thought the citizenship one was required. I did it before they marked my app complete

Ah okay thanks for lmk. If we submit optional updates, do you think they will re-mark our app complete at a later date upon receiving the new update?

Not sure about citizenship since I'm Canadian (my portal asked for Visa paper). I contacted the admission office about this and was told if I didn't need a visa to enter the United States then I wouldn't have to upload anything. Not sure if this helps with your question specifically but just in case any fellow Canadians/internationals were freaking out about this!
 
Is it worth sending in an update about how while I am from down South, I have direct family and extended family in the Detroit area? Not sure if that would have any effect on a committee's decision as to whether they would want to interview me or not...

Please don’t. This will only make you look desperate.
 
Are pre-II updates taken into consideration here? Or are they basically worthless

I don't think that is something you should send an update for. When you get the interview, just be sure to mention it to one of your interviewers.
 
So does the status change from SS to SC without an interview invite mean you are silently rejected? If so, why would they send an email about the interview hangout session? Kinda cruel. Not only will we reject you, but we will send you a invitation to know what the interview would have been like.
Your app could be on hold, or you could be on the list for the next batch of interview invites. Stay hopeful 🙂
 
Understandable! I was in your shoes not too long ago. But be patient, and it will pay off! I was interviewed close to the beginning of March, and so were a lot of my classmates here
When did you get your II? The panic for all of us is coming from the fact that II spots are filling up super quickly than previous years. It looks like they sent 200 II in less than 2 weeks so at that rate, most of us are freaking out about how many spots will be left in another week or so

Don't give up hope! I'm sure they're giving out II's in batches. Complete date?

December 21st, so definitely wasn’t expecting it. I don’t remember how many interviews went out before me, but I do remember the tracker reporting over 400 acceptances. My advice: distract yourself. This process will only drive you insane

Woah this gives me hope! Trying but failing haha
 
Do you think it could be like the other person said, screening completed? LizzyM score?
Lizzym 65.5 URM non-trad. Yeah, it could mean screening complete. Just hope I am in the next batch of interviewees. If not hopefully I get one from other schools.
 
anybody who has interviewed already care to give any information about what to expect?
They take you on a tour around Detroit and their campus. There's 5 MMI stations, a faculty interview, and a medical student interview. It's definitely a full day.
 
Guys so I checked the portal today on a whim, and there was a new tab that said "Interview Invitation". I went ahead and scheduled myself for an interview even though I didn't get an official email. Did I do the right thing or was this another Einstein situation? I really hope I didn't mess up somehow!

Where do you see this tab? Is it part of the checklist?

You might wanna call and confirm too lol. Congrats though!

Yeah it's a part of the checklist, and it wasn't there the last time I checked my portal. Looking through this thread though, it seems that's how Wayne sends out IIs so I'm super stoked now!!

LM 69, OOS, complete early July
 
Some people getting e-mails some getting no e-mails. This process is too confusing.

Does your app say “SS” or “SC” or something completely different?
 
So I was complete on 7/19 and have been in Med School in Process (SS) since 9/4. It hasn't changed at all. I have no idea what to think of this with so many IIs going out already.

Exact same boat as you. Nothing we can do except hope we hear back soon and ride out the wave
 
I received an II at 3AM and just happened to wake up just now and check my email because the neuroticism is real. I hadn't checked my portal in a while so I have no idea if I missed the update on the portal and it just rolled over to email recently.

*furiously checks other portals...*

2* submitted 8/12, confirmed complete 8/14, II received 10/2.

There are plenty of dates (Mondays/Fridays in Nov/Dec) available... possibly because I'm the weirdo who woke up in the middle of the night and happened to check my email.
