I wish there was a Scholarly Concentration Program available for the Indianapolis location. The IUSM website page for "SC" says that there are programs offered at Indy, but when I asked the Admission's office, they told me that Indy isn't offering Scholarly Concentration programs. I'd want to apply to one of the other programs, but I'm really hoping and preferring the Indianapolis location.... </3

There are SCPs available at the main campus, but those SCPs are not eligible for the Priority Placement Program.

Hi guys, still no complete email/email they received my primary. Verified 07/15. OOS. Are they typically this slow or should I give admissions a call?

I was verified a week after you and got the app received and special opportunity emails 8 days ago.
 
for those that did the scholarly concentration program -- how much extra writing work is it?

It was three essays of 1000 characters for the ethics, equity, and justice one. Not sure about the others. If you apply to a scholarly concentration program because you have an earnest interest and relevant experience in it, the essays are a breeze. The questions were targeted and easy to answer based on my experiences and interests.

So if we do get into the Indianapolis location. We can opt in for the SCP once matriculated there? It's just not available to help with priority placement to Indy?

Yes, that seems to be the case according to the website!

You don't "opt-in" for the SCP. There is an application process. Most of the SCPs only have 5-15 slots, but I am not sure how competitive some of them are.
 
II, OOS.
To everyone else who got interview invites, your information packet said to wait to complete the graduate application until September 3rd, correct?

I know that. I meant can we choose to apply for the Indy SCPs after we're matriculated there?

I exchanged emails with one of the campus deans, and she explained that the scholarly concentrations are not designed to fill every seat at a particular campus. Once admitted, and if placed at the campus of your choice (by lottery and student preference), you can apply for a scholarly concentration after going through the regular admissions route.
 
For those of you who received an II, they haven't sent out any dates yet have they?
 
ORM OOS, verified on 8/8 and received the confirmation email on 8/16!

Darn, I just uploaded it to their portal then threw the signed paper away. Should I email them to let them know I uploaded and confirm?

You can try calling them, they are pretty good on the phone.
However, I had a friend last year who personally mailed it and they wouldn't take it and told him it had to be mailed by the dean's office.
 
Has any ED applicant gotten their interview date yet? Kinda worried after looking at last year's dates and given how close September is and that the website says we find out by October 1..

I also have to resubmit my "personal" letter since I didn't know that it couldn't be from a professor, but it should be in soon and I hope that's not what's delaying my interview date.
 
I got an email that my application was received on 7/24 and then on 7/25 I got an email saying my application "has been deferred pending receipt of your MCAT score. Once your MCAT score has been received your application will be reviewed. The review process may take up to 6 weeks or more depending on the number of applications received."

I received my MCAT score today. People with my stats have been receiving interviews. Should I email admissions with an update letting them know I got my MCAT or just wait for them to contact me?

Doesn't hurt to contact them and let them know. Better safe than sorry just to be sure
 
How OOS friendly is this school? I see on MSAR they accept about 20% or 64/360. Do people need to have ties to the state? Would it be too late to add this school to my primary app?

Nope but to be fair I only received that scholarly concentrations thing a few days ago.

We don’t have to respond to it at all if we aren’t interested right? And we’ll still be good for MD?

Correct! I'm doing the same thing I think. Much prefer the Indy campus but wish I could express that interest in a secondary lol.
 
It’s possible they haven’t started reviewing scholarly concentration applications yet. I applied scholarly concentration and emailed admissions about interview location since that campus is very far from home for me (would prefer a closer location just for interview). They said if I’m approved for scholarly concentration interview, the interview will be in the same place. So it sounds like it isn’t set in stone yet whether you’re in the regular or scholarly concentration pool
 
Does anyone have a red x next to prerequisites complete in their portal? Is this something I should be concerned about?
 
Did you all fill out the dean of students forms and stuff before you got the secondary or after? They received my app but no 2ndary yet.

You only submit the supplemental material if you’re asked to do so (because you’ve been invited to an II).

I haven't gotten a date yet either. I think they might be waiting until September 3rd once their new system is up and running.
