The interview day was a positive experience! We first sat through a bunch of presentations and lunch. Their curriculum seemed pretty innovative. They have an accelerated three year curriculum, giving students the option to either graduate early (not just for primary care) or pursue a concentration their fourth year (e.g., research or community service). Interestingly, students go through clerkships before the Step 1 exam. The two interviews I had afterwards (each one on one, in person) were very relaxed and conversational. Apparently most applicants had one in person interview and one via Skype. The tour was interesting - I was particularly impressed by their simulated patient center. Overall I liked what I saw, though mandatory early classes and barely any breaks between the first three years are things to consider.

How much is given to prep for Step 1?

Hmm I never got prelim review complete and no II. But still, I think it’s just a coincidence. The process is so wild

I wanted to call them asking why my secondary has not been sent yet, hence why I was asking. If you could provide it for me that would be great!

Finally got a preliminary review complete email! Submitted 9/13

 

[Kamill]

prelim review complete email today. Submitted 9/13

I don't think getting this email is a good thing, but let's see how this unfolds.

In the email though it states we meet requirements (which included their wacky LoR requirement) and they are reviewing our applications now. I would ignore the few who didn't get the the email but got IIs cause it's a small sample size (on SDN). Many more people received emails than didn't.

Thank you Batman for helping me see this more objectively.

Did you contact them about this? Or do you think you're missing a requirement to be under their primary review?
