Mid-July I believeCongrats!! When were you complete if you don’t mind me asking?
Ita response right on cue
“Hi,
Thank you for your interest in Stritch. I have checked the status of your application, which has been received and currently under review by our admissions committees. We do have several thousand applications that we are trying to process as quickly as possible, so we will notify you if there are any changes to your status. Our interview season runs through the middle of February, so if you are selected for an interview, you will be contacted via email.”
Day runs from 8:45am-3:30pm. They don’t send you the itinerary until you confirm your date.Does anyone know the itinerary for interview day? I am trying to plan flights since I'm from 12 hours away but can't seem to find the actual timing of the interview anywhere online!
Same here! Sounds like a rejection to me but making it painfully long!This is what the status says on my portal: "Your file has been initially reviewed by the Committee on Admissions. Your file will be held for further review later in the cycle. The review process is continuous from now until the conclusion of our interview season in February. If you wish to update your file, please do so within your portal. Thank you for your interest in Loyola University Chicago-Stritch School of Medicine."
It's been like this for maybe 3 weeks now.
It's just a standard hold. However, with as many applications as Loyola receives every year, it's hard to know how many people are receiving virtual soft rejections or if they actually select people placed on "Hold" for IIs.Same here! Sounds like a rejection to me but making it painfully long!

give them a letter of interest with updates in it. Let them know you are interested.According to past threads its pretty much a death sentence but >0

this is great to hear. I am interested in Loyola and am strategically planning to send them a letter later in the cycle after I accumulate more clinical and volunteer hours+1.
Loyola’s admissions staff repeatedly emphasized they love updates at my interview, even from people who aren’t initially invited. Show interest!
Other than publications, what other things would be significant enough for an update?+1.

I would say publications are usually worthy of an immediate update anytime during the cycle.Other than publications, what other things would be significant enough for an update?
Complete 7/9, still have the under review status. For those of you that are on hold... when were you complete?Has anyone in that 7/24 complete group gotten a hold or a II or anything?
Thank you!! This is very helpful!! I haven’t heard anything from Loyola yet (no hold either) so I’ll wait a bit and if I still don’t hear anything I’ll give an update on my activities.I would say publications are usually worthy of an immediate update anytime during the cycle.
Updates on activity hours, new positions, and other stuff like that should be saved after a couple months of silence and/or post-II. In my personal opinion, it's still a bit early to be sending update letters for those things if it's only been a month or so since you were placed on hold. A letter of interest wouldn't hurt if you've been put on hold, though!

Hiya!Hey SeaHusky! I just wanted some clarification/summary of these terms and when to send them: update letter, letter of interest, letter of intent. Please correct me if I am wrong!
- Update letter- can be sent at anytime if there are significant updates, before and/or after interview?
- Letter of interest- can be sent before given an interview? and also after an interview?
- Letter of intent- to be sent to one school that you've been accepted to and intend on attending?
Thanks in advance!
Yes and many people group together an update with letter of interest. Update is an excuse to include your continued itnerest.Hey SeaHusky!

Anyone know if Loyola is receptive to ITA emails?
I’m from east coast coming to visit a friend for a week but not too hopeful about getting an II here so thought I’d try anyway if they are lol
Other people in past years have reported yes they are receptive (see ITA compendium thread...on my phone so cant link it here now).

My bet would be on communication. ButInterviewed 8/22. Portal now says "Hold for CC until Oct 15" anyone know what that means/ what CC is??

Does yours say "CC" or "ACC"? Just checked my portal and it says:Interviewed 8/22. Portal now says "Hold for CC until Oct 15" anyone know what that means/ what CC is??
Does yours say "CC" or "ACC"? Just checked my portal and it says:
"Hold for ACC until Oct 15"
Is that different from just "CC"? Oh god. My heart is racing lmao
