I would also like to know, the anxiety is killing me here and i interviewed in december!
In MSAR it says that if you are out of state 1/3 chance because they interview 60 and accept 20. Instate is a little less 1/3 because they interview 130ish accept 40

In my interview group, there were 6.
6 for me as well. Overall was a very enjoyable (as much as a medical school interview can be) experience, the faculty and students make you feel at ease

They're already sending alternate list notices. Anyone else waitlisted?
Tried messaging you regarding the alternate list but won't let me, when did you interview ?
I just updated my account preferences 👍 and interviewed on Nov 12.
If you aren't accepted anywhere i would go better to get in some where than not at all sorry just saw this.
Have hope my friend. Are you from mainland or PR? Mind sharing your stats?
Yup it's better safe than sorry, I paid for the supplemental fee already (~$200.00) might as well attend. So I ended up going, thanks for the input

I cant offer information about the average step scores of each individual school nor match rate. What I can tell you is that if you are applying for this cycle, chances are that the step 1 will be pass/fail when you take it, meaning that the medical schools will use other means of filtering applicants. Every school has its pros and cons, I chose SJB because their students need to publish atleast 2 publications of research before they graduate, giving the students a slight Boost on their application compared to other students who did not publish anything.
Does anyone know if they are still holding virtual interviews? Asking for a friend!
Does anyone know? Asking for me
I received an email from them (though I already interviewed so unsure why I got this ) to sign up for a virtual MMI . "Debido a las condiciones que impone la situación mundial con el COVID19, la Escuela de Medicina San Juan Bautista ha decidido cambiar la forma de entrevista para así permitir que todos los que así cumplan con nuestros requisitos tengan oportunidad de ser entrevistados." So , im sure you will be receiving an invite.
Sadly no, I interviewed Feb 26 and have heard nothing, Wondering if I should write to them. But also don't want to sound like a self-centered person.
I called a few days ago and they mentioned that the admissions department is working from home. I spoke to a member working from home and it seemed like they were working on setting up virtual interviews for those who haven’t interviewed.
I’m hoping the admissions committee is also meeting virtually considering they would meet every two weeks to evaluate. Otherwise, it seems like we have to be extremely patient. :/
Thanks for sharing. Still no II, I'm getting antsy 🙁
Hey guys, our Match results are on the website!

Hi! When did you interview?
I Interviewed 26 of FEB
Congratulations! How were you notified of your acceptance ?
It was via Email, the subject is"Estatus de Solicitud"
Congratulations. Anyone know if they're still handing out II?
It is definitely possible. I have a friend who made it from the alternate list last year. He received an email early June. It all depends on your stats. You will probably hear from them, if you are high on the list, in May since students have until April 30 to let the schools know which one they are planning to attend. Maybe some slots will open up.
Best of luck.
We’re you recently placed on the alternate list?
Someone on this thread interviewed on Feb 26th and they heard back on Monday. What day did you interview?
February 27th. I’ll probably email them soon, I just don’t want to be inconsiderate either

Yes, I was placed on the list this week
If you don’t mind me asking, what where your stats? And, did where you place on another alternate list or where accepted in another school?
In MSAR is says 50-100 students are usually placed in the alternate list and ~10 get accepted.
My friend had a 3.20 GPA and an MCAT of 494 with no research, shadowing or community service. He was notified early June of his acceptance.
3.6 GPA, 499 MCAT and I had volunteer and shadowing experience but no research.
I'm still waiting to hear back from 2 more schools. Thank you for letting me know though!
I think your stats are good for PR in general. I’m gonna go on a limb here and guess that the other two school are Ponce and UCC. Either of those two school will definitely send you an acceptance. Obviously what set you back a little was the lack of research, but students with less ECs have made so don’t sweat it. If SJB is your top choice, you definitely have a shot.
Best of luck!
Hi, what were your stats and EC’s? Congrats again!
