lol still no II. Complete 7/10. IS. Very annoyed at USC right now.

Sorry to hear, but nobody is entitled to an interview.

I know I am not entitled, just wanted to be close to family and go to med school in California. I thought my stats would get me an interview but I guess not. Good luck to everybody else though.

It’s also not too late to get an II. Plus there are other schools in California. Good luck to you, too.

II today! Submitted on Monday 8/5. I didn't get an e-mail or phone call so I'm not even sure if the invite came today or earlier lol I just happened to check. IS URM c3.4/511 (from a top 3 university) there's hope!

*edit* earliest date available was October 29. The only other dates shown were October 30 and November 1 for me! 8 am and 9am slots. 2 interviews for the day!

For those who got IIs, do your letters of rec show up as received on the portal under "document status" for a date after you submitted your secondary or before?

All my letters show up as received 8/02, but I submitted my secondary and got my II on 7/22.

Does anyone know if they are receptive of ITA emails?

 

[deleted959190]

Anyone with a 515 hear yet?

 

[coffee&scrubs]

Has anyone OOS got an II? From what I can see, they've been prioritizing IS (which makes sense, just curious).

Pretty unnecessary comment. Even if it is true (which I doubt) it just feels like causing undue stress on a lot of people.

I’m sorry but that is just not true haha. You are looking at such a minuscule sample from this site, so take it with a grain of salt. Just know SDN can be super helpful, but too much of it just fuels more unnecessary stress. It almost forces you to find negative things in your app and see what reason schools have to reject you, which is not healthy. We’re so early in the process, and we all have plenty of time to get interviews!

Thank you for this! You put it perfectly. It's so easy for us to log back into the secondary or primary app and start picking it apart and causing unnecessary stress. This process is stressful enough

II OOS submitted Friday

so they got back to you within 3 days?!

 

[SeaHusky]

More like one day, since I highly doubt there's anyone in the office over the weekend.

Keck is looking for something specific or prioritizing the superstar applicants first. Still radio silence after submitting the day I submitted the secondary 🙁

LOL, I am URM with a LM of 71, IS, bilingual and got no love. This process is awfully stressful

 

[ayjaystudent]

Does Keck pre-screen before giving their secondaries out? (Kinda like UC schools?)

I believe they don’t

MSAR says secondaries are sent to all verified applicants

 

[gp2]

Wow congrats! Seems like Keck has some crazy fast turnaround times, must have a certain way to select out applicants for rapid review.

Fearmongering for its own sake. One of my friends submitted USC on day one last year and didn’t get an II until September/October

Thanks for sharing. Did you just hear the news this morning? sorry to hear but I am sure that you will have better luck at some other schools! You just need one school to say yes!

 

[jambro]

R here too, submitted early July... first one, and this is extra tough because it was my only ii last year :/

Best of luck moving forward!! May I ask if you were a USC reapplicant or not?

 

[Detective SnowBucket]

I was a USC re-app, this is kinda disappointing because I'm like right on the money for their stats and I would have really liked to go here.

Im sorry it didnt work out for you. But Im sure you will get accepted somewhere more amazing than USC. Come back during residency and show them who’s boss 😉

Good luck to you! USC was a long shot for me but I appreciate that they inform people early, rather than later/ghost them.

 

[somuchforhms]

R from Keck just now.

Same :/. Last time they waited until december to R me so now I'm concerned at how quickly I got dropped.

 

[deleted987519]

One big F for my fallen comrades

 

[medschoolplsplspls]

Anyone receive an R who isn’t a USC reapp?

 

[deleted980380]

Just got rejected too

I am still in limbo - - apparently, in one Call of Duty game there is a cut-scene where you attend a funeral and are prompted to press "F" to pay respects to the fallen soldier.
