[TheNmaitochondria]

II as well! Complete 7/28!

 

[aspiringdoctor87]

Most applicants wore business casual, but there isn’t technically a dress code and many of the first year students just wore t-shirts or whatever they wore to class that day. Also, the students don’t report back to anyone and there aren’t any faculty members there, so I guess you could wear whatever you want...although I probably wouldn’t show up in sweatpants at the same time.

dont worry i wore completely casual hoodie and sweats and no one cared!

He has special circumstances that expedited the review of his app. I wouldn’t worry about your stats compared to his.

yeah, embryo is right. Don't go by my schedule. I have some exigency and luckily the schools are willing to accommodate. stats in the sig.

Anyone who already interviewed...do you know who took over for Gaye Sheffler as admissions director? I think I deleted a followup email and now I can't find the person in my contacts to respond!

ETA: i think her name was Alise or Alissa...? Help!

Got an II on Monday and there were dates in the first week of December

I’m pretty sure you have to go on the app portal under the interview tab and you can directly sign up for a host there if they’re still available (no waiting for an email, they’re just listed)

I applied end of October, have a GPA 3.9 and MCAT 526, what do think are my chances of getting an interview. I am OOS applicant

It depends on the rest of your application.

 

[vomitcom]

lol, I think it tells you that I am new on the forum

You asking that question, along with applying this late, makes me wonder how much you know about the process. If you know very little, then your chances are next to 0 even with those amazing stats.

Thanks, I know the process just that I could not apply earlier due to some family situation. I will wait and see what happens , appreciate your time.

Are interviews winding down here

 

[CoitusInterruptus]

Are interviews winding down here

how dare you even suggest that, Julia N. Newman. Or Julian Newman. Or Julianne W. Man. Whoever you are, Julianne Wman, I want to say I respectfully disagree.

 

[Saturday’s Child]

Are interviews winding down here

They don’t accept anyone until March. I believe they interview up to February.

[crepuscular.ray]

II complete mid-July! Was not expecting to hear back

 

[deleted688779]

did you send an update letter by chance?

Someone last year sent an update pre-II and got an interview. I’m not saying that helped but it doesn’t preclude the possibility.

 

[JayPea123]

did you send an update letter by chance?

Nope

Any kind souls out there who interviewed already, care to share the interview experience?
Was it conversational or formal?
Was the tour long/a lot of walking?

I just interviewed here. Amazing experience, penn is so awesome! Both interviews (student and faculty) were incredibly conversational. We talked for the whole time about our shared interests and then I was asked like 1-2 required questions at the end. There is no tour, the day is super short with some free time to walk around if you want. The interview day takes place wholly within the school of medicine so you see essentially all the things relevant to preclinical years.

If you’re interviewing soon, good luck! Just be yourself, you’re there for a reason and they already like you a lot!

[Ole_Toe]

What dates are available?

Sorry that I didn't pay more attention, but at least out to January (and I think Feb). There were dates in both Nov and Dec so still lots of interview slots to be sent out this cycle.
