Congrats! When is your interview?
I'm a second year MAMS student and I have heard that a few students from our class have been extended interviews already. Not sure if they're doing them all on the same day or not since it's virtual this year.
Congrats! Do you mind sharing your complete date? Thanks!
They all have separate links so you have the freedom to choose different days or time to do virtual tour, student session, and interview separately. Each takes appx one hour.
+1. Has anyone submitted an update letter here?
Wow! That's crazy that they didn't send you an email, congrats! Do you mind sharing when you were complete and when the available interview dates were?
Yeah, it was unexpected. Maybe emails go out on Monday. Complete 8/14. Delay email 10/2. The available slots were within the next 7-10 days.
what is the delay email?
I'm obviously none of those people and haven't personally received an II from here yet, but it's probably due to people cancelling interviews and spots opening up!
TLDR: it's an email that was sent out to a majority of applicants after a certain amount of time after their secondaries were submitted. There was a lot of discussion about if it meant anything or if it correlated to a R or an II, but at the end of the day, it's just a courtesy email sent to applicants to let them know that there's a delay in the app review process.
I would think it’s probably because of new interview slots becoming available, I ended up cancelling my interview slot in November so things like that could free up earlier times that were previously full
OOS
Was nervous because further back in the thread and on Reddit someone got challenging/technical questions I think from here? But my interview was the most laid back and enjoyable of inteviews by far (and I've only had conversational interviews). Study the SDN interview feedback page--I didn't get any unexpected questions.
Congrats! Do you mind sharing your complete date?
Thank you!! I will definitely do this! My interviews thus far have also been very conversational where I talked about TV shows and books I love with a few common questions thrown in (why medicine, the biggest challenge, problem-solving ability/behavioral question, etc), but I did get one tougher question that was about describing a time I put myself in an uncomfortable situation to serve others, but nothing ethical thus far. Would you say your experience was similar to this?
Marked complete 9/23, received delay email 11/9, and then interview on 11/18.
Yes very conversational like that, but with one challenging question, but it wasn't acutally challenging since it was exactly what was on the interview feedback page.
Congrats! When is your interview?
Yes I did pretty much what you did but if you plan on doing so, I recommend you submit it as soon as is humanly possible! I believe that their admissions committee begins meeting around this week and reviewing interviewed applicant files so you want to get your new information in before they get to you. Best of luck!
Would you recommend updates soon even for in-progress classes, or waiting for grades to come in in mid December before submitting an update?
I would hold off if your only update is an in-progress class! An unofficial transcript with new finalized grades on it is the better update in that case, in my opinion.
December 17th!
Hey thanks for the reply! I like your format and how you tied the two together. I think I'm gonna do my updated activities and then a few paragraphs about my interest in BU and why. Did you address your letter to the admissions committee or to Dr. Goodell?
Hey thanks for that reminder. I'm going to submit it tonight I think. Idk about the rest of you, but after finishing my secondaries in July, writing anything has become very difficult.
I feel ya haha! I addressed mine to the Admissions Committee
I did as well!
