always assume the worst lol. im in the same perdicament
I thought mine went super well, and my interviewer even said so a couple times. I feel like there's not much else I could've done to improve, especially since they have a pretty low post-II acceptance rate.
Did you feel like your interview was conversational? I felt like was grilled for 50 minutes with rapid fire questions with little conversation in between
If you haven't heard back and don't have any updates, don't send anything
In my app, I put part time remote scribe, but in sept, I actually became full time medical assistant and now working on a research project about the pandemic and mental health.. i didn't get to say much of this to my interviewer so that's why I was thinking to lump the update with intent, but i guess I will wait .. thank you!!!
Mine was very conversational but still guided by questions, lasted for an hour and my interviewer was even kind enough to review my app at the end and go over my strengths and weaknesses, which I thought was pretty nice.
Thats worth updating!
Dear GalaxyBrain:
honestly should be a crime that they begin waitlist emails with "I am happy to inform you" like wtf
From what I've read, a few people get in off of the regular WL each year, but I'm personally not counting on it.
Same except I interviewed in Dec lol
omg how are you doing it
I interviewed 2/23 and got the WL email this morning.
it's honestly terrible as I really want to go here and my interview went very well
my feelings exactly
Nice username bro 😉
If you get the A before April 30, they give you 2 weeks to decide (even if that goes past the deadline), so don’t worry about having to make a super fast decision! If you hear after April 30, you have 5 days to decide.
Woah. Ok. Thanks for sharing this.
Can you do that if you currently have an A though? I thought they require you to withdrawal all apps with the exception of WLs
Yes, you can! The rules aren’t enforced by AAMC, just by the individual schools (which each have their own set of specific rules). After April 30, each school can only see if you have PTEd at their school vs another school. So, if you got an A at Einstein on the 29th, for example, you would keep your PTE at the other school (so you wouldn’t be breaking their rules), and Einstein would give you 2 weeks to decide before you needed to PTE at Einstein (and drop the other school) or withdraw from Einstein.
Thank you!!!
This stuff is confusing but I think this is my understanding as well. Basically, per AAMC rules, after April 30th you can only hold one acceptance (at a time). If you hold multiple acceptances, the expectation is that by April 30th you will withdraw from all but one school. You can keep your waitlist spots in addition to your 1 acceptance. And if you find yourself with more than one acceptance after April 30th (e.g. you're down to 1 A and then you get off a waitlist), the expectation is that you will choose one, like GalaxyBrain is saying I think, and withdraw from the other.
is it possible we dont hear anything...?
fr lol i'm getting nervous its so close
Right. It is pessimistic to open this conversation but can they leave us in the dark after Friday or no?
What do you mean?
Perhaps they’ll review our apps in one sitting in May
I'd say probably not bc you already told them it was accepted for publication. But it definitely can't hurt
