I feel your pain for sure! I think at this point all we can do is upload an update attachment in the portal (if we have something significant to add) and wait. According to the portal and some prior comments it seems the final interviews are slated for late Feb but maybe that'll change with the larger number of applicants, I'm not sure!
It is in the update I received yesterday. Is it not on yours?
Oh it wasn't on mine
I am sure they will not rescind for not calling back.
Never. Nobody would do that to you. Depending on the school, they'll always either try again, send an e-mail, update your portal, or leave you a message. Don't worry about that. Just focus on killing the interview. Med school admissions are not a raffle (although sometimes it certainly seems like they are!
) where you have to be present to win, and if you don't respond when your number is called, they just move on to the next lucky contestant! Good luck!!! Please inquire of the admissions office, sometimes that can get missed.....
Not sure of the question, but if an applicant is accepted and tanks subsequent coursework the committee can rescind the offer.
Hi @REL this might have gotten lost in your notifications, but I was still curious about it
In the early going we generally list just the upper, middle, or lower since the list is not as large. As it grows we will get into the upper/lower halves.
its 30 min but some can go over but its an hour max. the zoom link is set for an hour in case it goes over
In past years the time from interview day to admission committee decision was a controlled 18 days, in the new format it is taking approximately 3, maybe 4 weeks. You should receive an email with that information in it. Let me see where we are on that.@REL If we interviewed on 11/19, when should we hear back? I saw you mentioned it's typically a 17-18 day wait to get the phone call and today would be around that time frame. Thanks in advance!
30-40mins is about average
Update letters will not help once you are on the WL. IN March/April/May a bonafide Letter of Intent (to enroll) not a letter of interest, would help only if we were in your general vicinity of the list.
Where did you get your data? Based on the USNWR data, IS and OOS have roughly the same number of applicants. The number of IS II and A are 2:1 to OOS.
Thank you for the stats @KnightDoc, but wonder if there is a need to be rude to show your better knowledge?
if you write essays the same way you write sdn posts im sure ull do fantastic applying to med schools
Point well taken. I will remove the post.
Thanks. You could have just edited. The stats and info you posted important. 81 IS to 39 OOS. So, OOS is not greater than IS
Actually makes us wonder where s/he finds the time.
I know, but it came off a lot worse than I meant it to, and @Rheopecty said basically the same thing, so my post really wasn't necessary. I just reacted to what I thought was a gratuitous attempt to spread falsehoods about FL public schools backing away from their commitment to IS students due to finances, which they really don't have the freedom to do on account of all the subsidies they receive from the state.
COVID.
Few in person classes + no in person activities = lots of time!!!
If you noticed, the Q was posted by a first time poster - same Q on this and South FL. May have seen a trend in just a few messages that s/he read. Thanks for the clarification
Yeah, I didn't see that. Like I said, I definitely overreacted, and that's why I pulled it. He didn't deserve it, and I am fully aware that everyone is on edge. I just didn't want IS folks like you getting the wrong idea!!!
Now that everyone has said their peace thought I would reply. My thoughts that I posted were based on what I am reading on this message board and not on previous years MSAR or USNWR reports. I have done nothing wrong in expressing my opinion. It is my right to look at these numbers when they are published later.
So you formed and expressed a factually-incorrect "opinion" based on incomplete, biased data instead of verifiable, published data. And here I thought medicine was evidence-based. I guess I should have went into politics instead
Well messages on SDN are also kinda evidence (partial / biased not withstanding). It's like using Uptodate versus Google as evidence for medical treatmentSo you formed and expressed a factually-incorrect "opinion" based on incomplete, biased data instead of verifiable, published data. And here I thought medicine was evidence-based. I guess I should have went into politics instead
Going to politics is your prerogative. No one is stopping you. Now I have to be scared of the “fact checker almighty “ to share an opinion?. The evidence in this situation is what is available in the present. I am not analyzing last years data which is past. It is just my opinion and I stand by what I posted.So you formed and expressed a factually-incorrect "opinion" based on incomplete, biased data instead of verifiable, published data.

Hey - I am trying to defend by keeping everyone from becoming rude, but you are not playing sport. You seem to be new to SDN. Please understand that SDN is a very small subset of all applicants, so the results here are no where near accurate. It would be like FDA approving or disapproving a drug, based just on a handful of biased test participants. Others are just warning you about this. Anyways, let us leave this topic because we are hijacking from the main topic of this thread. Thank you all.
So, many that were interviewed in that timeframe will be reviewed by the admissions committee on 12/15. That means we will be contacting those members on 12/16-17. Normally an email goes out to reveal these dates. Let me check on this, maybe they were overlooked. If so I will ensure that they are sent by Monday.
