No idea.
If I remember correctly, reviewing/scoring is done by MCAT. But once the applications go through the first review, they get submitted to Dean Arias, and she makes all decisions on whom to interview. @modernnarwhal24 might be able to shed some light on it?I may be wrong, but don't they interview each MCAT score at all times? In other words, isn't there one person for each score? If that's the case, then theoretically there should be multiple people with a wide range of scores with II. Am I understanding this method of giving II correctly?
u/secondaries ... from the sounds of it... I’m sorry I really hate some of your questions on reddit.To those who already received interview invites at Keck, what does health equity mean to you?
It is a message board on reddit... basically SDN but with memes. Somebody asked this exact same question this morning there, thought it might have been you haha
To those who got interview invites, how much do you think your answer to the "nickname" question played a factor? And what did you pick?
Dude... just answer the questions honestly.To those who got interview invites, how much do you think your answer to the "nickname" question played a factor? And what did you pick?

Wait we have a ayjaystud and ayjaystudent who joined 2 days apart, both trying to get other SDNers to do their homework for them...To those who already received interview invites at Keck, what does health equity mean to you?
Dude i think it plays a really big role. I got an II so you should probably just use mine. Pm me your email and I’ll just email you my entire app.To those who got interview invites, how much do you think your answer to the "nickname" question played a factor? And what did you pick?

Literally, put whatever you want. They are trying to get to know you. It isn't that serious of a question.Hi everyone,
For the nickname secondary question, what do I do if I already have a nickname suited to my personality and that everyone knows me by?
Do I pick a new one or justify my current one @Moko and anyone else really
Just to add- it is to get to know you. So if people just call you some nickname for the sake of a nickname, you might be able to share more about yourself by making a new nickname for yourself.. in my opinionLiterally, put whatever you want. They are trying to get to know you. It isn't that serious of a question.
Does anyone know what the "closed file" means in the interview format for USC? Does this mean they are blind interviews? Thanks and hope that you all get a USC II soon!
Huh. Mine hasn't changed.Has anyone noticed when you check the portal under status and document status that the date of download for LOR keeps changing?
At first it was like 08/07 then it changed to 08/19 today. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this and if it has any bearing on if they are actively reviewing your app?
Someone in last year’s thread mentioned this theory too!Has anyone noticed when you check the portal under status and document status that the date of download for LOR keeps changing?

If you send any LOR from amcas to any school, then the date of LOR submission on the Keck portal will change to the last day you sent LOR through Amcas.Has anyone noticed when you check the portal under status and document status that the date of download for LOR keeps changing?

Oh that makes sense. I applied to UVA 8/5. Can corroborate.If you send any LOR from amcas to any school, then the date of LOR submission on the Keck portal will change to the last day you sent LOR through Amcas.

Do they really separate in regards to mcat score? If so is it from high to low? Or random?
