Any recommendations on the dress code for the social the night before? They say informal, but what do most people wear?
It truly was informal! I had just driven 12 hours so I was in leggings and a long-sleeve shirt, and then there were people (applicants) in more going-out type clothes. The current med students generally wore jeans + fleece jackets. Despite my wearing leggings I didn't feel out of place or judged (who knows, maybe they were haha)

Does Colorado send pre-ii rejections? Thanks! Couldn’t find anything.

Nope. Hopefully we will this week
My advisor said that CU traditionally sends a lot more IS offers after break. Anecdotal evidence from CU students, but seems legit.
Both, but he seemed to be talking about winter break. Said lots of good in-state kids were getting invites for the final interview dates.
dang I was hoping 10/18 would hear back this week but I guess they're behind..
Nope
Does anyone know if CU accepts more people on earlier interviews to fill the class sooner or if our chances are generally equal throughout the cycle?

In general, getting an acceptance becomes more difficult the later it gets into the cycle for schools with rolling admissions. Less spots left = more competitive

Unlike the previous years, schools have become less rolling. Meaning they are holding many of the acceptances to the later part of the cycle.

Where did you find that information?
No official information. Per LizzyM and gonnif in the thread 4IIs and 4 wls which started couple of days ago.

Do they typically send out acceptances per interview date or do it in chunks?

Has anyone with recent a recent II know the dates that were available?
I think it's chunks, it sounds like the September people all heard back around the same time.

That may have something to do with not being able to offer acceptances until Oct 15th, however it could still hold true for October interviewees
Post interview?
No, pre interview!
any recent II’s?
So 10/4?

+1! [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] anyone know any jobs you can get with premed experiences that pay 400k in 6 months?? Lmao
Yeah, I was hoping there'd be an update of some kind so I knew whether I got in or not. I didn't interview until 10/18, so I know the decision is coming soon! I hate waiting for the phone to ring... or not.
was there an interview date between 10/4 and 10/18??

I don’t think so—typically they have 2 interview days per month [emoji846]
Congrats!!! For those who were accepted, how did you feel about your interview? Like, did you walk out feeling like you crushed it or was it up in the air?

I was absolutely convinced I bombed it. Was an incredibly nervous mumbling mess during my individual interview.

Congrats to those that got accepted! OOS/IS, Stats, etc? And any 10/4 interviewees still waiting?
I'm 10/4, still waiting to hear back. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

i really am curious what they are looking for since it seems like they have passed over lots of qualified, in-state applicants 😵
Maybe the need the money from the OOS students lol (100k per year)
The group interview was completely up in the air, I had never done one and wasn't sure at all if I hit the correct notes. I did think that I bonded well with my interviewers for the individual interview though

Would you all recommend sending thank you notes post-interview? If so, what email did you send them to?

I can't seem to find anything about whether or not CUSOM accepts app updates. Does anyone know for sure? I am OOS with no ties but really am interested in this school, so I definitely don't want to be overlooked! Also, does CUSOM yield protect?
That's good to hear I'm not the only one! I felt that about the group interview and activity. All three of us walked out thinking that we each had performed equally well and were unsure of how they were gonna differentiate between us. Did any of you send thank you notes?

I didn’t send thank you notes, but I know of accepted people who did. I think they told us during interview day to send them to [email protected] and the admissions staff forward them to the correct people.

You may be onto something there....
They definitely don't accept updates. Believe me, I've tried
