This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
How did interview day and dinner go last night to those who are presently in pittsburgh?
 
Congrats! and thank you for specifying that you did not receive a complete email so that we wouldn't have to hound you for it haha!
No complete email and you were complete 7/14 not 7/8? Yo..y'all....this is starting to pan out that the complete email does indeed signify something. Someone who received a complete email wanna be neurotic enough to reach out?

This is insane please don't reach out to the pitt adcom and ask if the fact that you received a complete email means you won't be getting a II. It's August my dudes, everything is going to be ok. If you don't believe me on page four of this thread near the bottom look for a post from miamimama, they got a complete email and a secondary. I get that we're all nervous and this process is stressful , but buying into wild conspiracy theories about one of the ~20+ schools you applied to is madness.

“Those who reject the truth have eaten the apple of Satan. Be wary of them as they will stray you off the righteous path” SDN 4:13
 
But did they get an interview after that complete email?
Yeah I meant interview not secondary, lost myself in the heat of the moment 😛

I know for a lot of us it is, but never underestimate the ability of a neurotic premed to take things like this seriously
 
Also want to point out that miamimama are part of the applicant group that got a complete email and then an II within a few hours of each other. Those who receive a complete email immediately after submission or don’t receive an ii within the same day have been rejected. SAD!

I guess I will have to prepare for my rejection now. Im in one of the groups listed above lol.
 
I received a complete e-mail within seconds of submitting. If the conspiracy is true I would be really curious to know how they automatically reject. I am OOS, LM 77, no IA/felonies/etc. 400+ hours clinical volunteering. I really feel like I deserve someone to at least just take a look at my application.

Looks like you are SOL then. Complete email = Head straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Just an FYI, no one actually believes this.It just gives us something to latch on to to avoid thinking about the chaos of this process.
 
If I pray will I get invited for a pilgrimage too?
Do I just need to add this to my signature? I think i'm gonna.

"Oh great Atul Gawande, AAMC Cars QPACK1 Picasso passage, Organic chemistry as a second language - please bless us with a bountiful harvest of interview Invites during these darkest of times. May your blessed milk of eternal premed aspiration flow through the veins of this admissions cycle like a great river of promise! In the name of the Surgeon, the hospitalist, and the holy ROAD. In Kaplan’s name, ah man...I found a typo"

Nah you need that IA to stand out enough to be looked at :/
 
Can confirm. I got that IA and that II. Everyone has publications and starts organizations nowadays. What you gotta do is get yourself a cat in university housing.
As a fellow applicant with an IA and a cat lover, mad respect
 
As a fellow cat owner I respect that.

From my application:

"Institutional Action: Yes

Explanation of Institutional Action:
In August of 2017, I adopted my cat Spunky and had him in university housing without prior approval. I was given a $200 fine. After paying the fine I subsequently received approval from the university housing office to keep Spunky."

I can’t believe this qualifies as an IA.
That’s crazy.
 
memelord is playing 4d chess. Get an IA to stand out, adcoms see its only for a cat that was later approved, laugh, and now he's the cat guy they'll remember the entire cycle.

Well played, Memes, well played...!
 
first rejection today for MSTP. I asked them to consider me for MD. stats LM 70~71

I’m sorry to hear that! Do you mind sharing when you were complete for MSTP?
 
Anyone else applying early decision and waiting on an II? Completed 8/14.

(I did NOT receive a confirmation email :xf:)
