Thanks! I was wondering if you knew what percentage of your incoming class, and historically that Utah accepts, is first-time applicants and re-applicants? I've heard a lot that Utah is very friendly to re-applicants so I was curious to know what portion of the incoming classes is made up of them verse first time applicants.
I actually don't have any statistics (or access to admissions board input) to support this and is completely anecdotal but I am personally a 2nd year applicant and many of the students that I interact with are as well. According to Dr. Samuelson who I spoke to a week ago, the U consistently has the oldest matriculating average age and most married/family associated students nationwide. I wonder how much of that is hyperbole and how much is factual but I think the U heavily weighs re-applicants and non-trad applicants in a way that favors them. The average age of my class is just over 25 years and 4 months. I am not sure if that provides any additional insight but I hope it helped!
I’m sure this also contributes to the number of families.
OOS, went to school in Utah, lots of family there.
Looks like they are holding IIs every Monday in October--at least those were the available dates for me.
I received an "application complete" email on 7/26 after finishing their secondary on 7/20. Stats in signature.
Finished secondary 7/18
when were you complete? also congrats
Thank you! Received the complete email on 8/6
Mine still says that too. Received letter on Aug 9 says i was complete and the status would stay that way until a decision is made regarding your application.
I have an II and it still says pending review. Don't worry about it, your app is complete and they are reviewing it.
Did you receive an email saying that your were complete? I never even got that, I just got the receipt for the payment.
Yes, I received a complete email. But I didn't receive it until ~2 weeks after submission. I wouldn't worry too much about it, just make sure everything within your application is received and processed (like your letters of rec). If you're still worried, their admissions office is usually really quick to respond to emails.
Apparently there was a glitch and some of the "complete" emails didn't get sent out. If you email admissions they can resend the email. The admissions person also told me where my application was in the process. Very prompt responses.
Yep.
Yeah, I did mine earlier this week. It was a train wreck and a half. Oh well. Haha. I didn’t realize just how nice in-person interviews are.
Haha you are definitely not alone lmao
IS or OOS? Congrats!!
In the region...
50%, either you get in or you don't.
what is the expected attire for the video interview?
Dress like you would in person
meaning professional business attire?
Yeah. I wore a suit and tie.
You could wear scrubs, just to let them know how good you would look as a doc.
