After seeing the 2019 class profile infographic that says 100% of class had leadership experience (66% with 5+ leadership experiences) I kind of feel like I should just assume I got an R right now. I don't have any leadership experience, or any pubs/long term research experience for that matter.

Feels bad man, UofM was my top choice. I hadn't realized they had such a focus on leadership experience and was assuming I would be a good fit.

@Gilakend was 2019 an unusual year? Or is it really just nearly impossible to get in without leadership experience?

I agree with @xkcd6330 I think "leadership" is loosely defined. I have no insight for you in terms of hard statistics, however, I find it hard to believe that 66% of people listed 5/15 activities as "leadership". I only had 1 defined leadership role (exec role in a club).

They usually focus on leadership from what I can tell (hint: "The leaders and best"), so I'm assuming they counted any role where someone was in charge of something remarkable (i.e. a research project or something similar) as leadership.

Does anyone know how long it takes for the portal to update after Casper scores are sent?

Are you guys also receiving a lot of emails from UMich?
A part from the secondary email, I received one (advertising the school) while my AMCAS was being verified and today another one.

No I haven’t. Aka they don’t want me

What are your stats? My MCAT is not even that high, 515, which I think may even be below their median?
It's really the only school that has emailed me thrice so far.

Those promotional emails are usually based on you opting to receive them during your MCAT -- I don't think they indicate anything about how the school views your application!

Agree.

If I’ll be verified ~ August 23rd, should I bother applying to Umich or would it be difficult to get an interview if I’m complete Labor Day ish ?

You will be good. They offer between 10-30 interviews every Monday. By the time you are complete, they will still have around 2/3 of their interview dates available.

Does the Labor Day rule still apply? I still have a few secondaries that’ll be going in first week of August and am wondering if I’m hurting myself

Labor day is not a rule it is a guideline. Do not worry about the latest you can submit something, simply submit as early as you can. But do not submit an unfinished product.

I am trying to update my application right now with a document. I can't seem to find the upload documents option under the supposingly "View Checklist" option. Is this only available after I submit my secondary application?

Yes only after you submit

 

[jecki46]

Any Michigan Mondays today?

 

[zeerabiscuit]

Has anyone else had the problem of their CASPer taking forever (2 weeks) to upload to their portal (after being sent)?

Wait I don’t see any sign of Casper being uploaded either? There’s not even a spot for it though?

 

[deleted996731]

I’m assuming if it says your complete in the checklist then they have your Casper and all required doc. Can someone verify this?

 

[NileMasr21]

I got a II today for the MSTP program!! But accidentally posted in the wrong school thread earlier. I was complete 7/12

Congratulations. Their tweet today says they don't count them in their Monday totals and also don't specifically do them on Mondays.

23 interview invitations out today to candidates from 19 undergrads and 14 states. Please note that our MSTP (MD/PhD) interviews are offered intermittently so are not included in #UMichMedMondays

 

[deleted996731]

Mr. Elmo I assume your likes are a sign of “yes you are right, now stop being neurotic”?

congrats! this is one of my top MSTP programs, so very jealous and wish you good luck on the interview 🙂

It says your app is complete etc but “we are still waiting for your CASPer score” specifically for me

I had entered my AMCAS ID wrong on CASPer . The office was nice enough to send CASPer a message for me though cause apparently CASPer has no phone number you can call.

 

[Engrailed]

So on my AMCAS I opted to received emails + ads from med schools, but have you guys also received a lot of emails from them?
I have not yet submitted the secondary... was hit with the 4th (apply to our school!) type of email from them today.

I wish I were blessed with any communication from Michigan.

For me, it’s false hope more than anything. Im also below their MCAT median. Im just not good enough lol!

I’m above their MCAT median but also not good enough.

Just kidding. We’re both good enough.

None of us are good enough. The light of Michigan only shines on individuals it chooses through sheer luck and happenstance.

 

[dundabun]

Does anyone know if the dinner the night before the interview day is mandatory? Or if it’s worth it to go?

not mandatory, but worth it. I think its just pizza with current students.

Did you get an interview?

 

[deleted996731]

I don’t like this Michigan Monday. It’s so quiet. I usually look forward to Monday’s but today I feel lonely

+1

They haven't tweeted yet, though.

I bet they’ve already sent them out though. The last few weeks the ii go out way before the tweet

 

[deleted972488]

Yeah, agreed...

 

[deleted996731]

So it seems that if you have an sdn account and use it daily then umich will refuse to send you an ii. Deactivating now

 

[deleted996731]

Well rip bois

 

[deleted972488]

 

[deleted996731]

Anyway to check if mich has our Casper score? Or only by seeing that Casper sent it from their website

jokes on umich. In reality I'm an addy scimitar, there's no way they'd ever make the connection.

 

[deleted996731]

Also on Casper it’s called University of Michigan medical school. Just want to make sure

 

[jecki46]

17? Out of hundreds...thousands of applicants? They release 17? come on!

 

[deleted688779]

I wonder if other medical schools release at the same rate, adjusted for yield.

 

[premedpower8484848]

Like I said last week, most interviews will be handed out in late August, early September. They still have 400+ interviews to calm down. It is important to remember that

We know Case Western interviewed like...1200 people out of their pool

At the rate of 25 people per 7 days, it would take 48 CaseWestern Wednesdays to send all of their invitations, which is way too many. So a school like Case likely sends more than 25 a week. If we switch to percentages (which we could from the AAMC stats) I'd bet its pretty similar across most schools, adjusting for their interview seasons.

I meant adjusting for amount of people they interview overall.

 

[deleted996731]

Based of previous tweets they will start hitting 50 ii per week but I guess we just gotta wait

MSTP II

Michigan does not interview that many people. It is more like 500?
