Med School Insiders
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Pre interview R just now. Not gonna lie I’m kinda surprised, as if I had to guess which in-state school would have given me an interview it would’ve been this one. Best essays I’ve ever written and I fit their mission and stats so well. But it’s ok haha, good luck everyone!

November interview here. What I don't get is how they haven't come to a decision on our apps yet. If they're accepting people who interviewed in 2021, it would be reasonable to assume that they've discussed applications for those who interviewed in 2020, right? They've likely looked over our apps at this point, and even if they're inclined to give us a WL/R, just tell us. I don't get this unnecessarily long wait

That’s what irks me. Every month has a good amount of decisions except for October and November. These interviews were also among the first to be scheduled, so I don’t understand how applications that were so favorably disposed to admissions are so far behind. I feel like somebody needs to call and insist on these applications getting checked out, especially since there was a nasty computer glitch in October, and CMU had that payment glitch, too. They might just be saying “you’re still in consideration” without actually seeing what’s going on with the applications.

Edit: what makes me more nervous is that my interview tabs have not changed since my interview. It says that my interview is scheduled for a specific date and it still gives me the schedule for the interview, with the ability to launch the meeting windows. I’m not sure if anybody else’s interview tabs have changed following their interviews, but this just makes me kind of worried.

My portal shows the same thing and I interviewed in mid January. I think what’s happening is that the people that are borderline WL/A are like on “hold” and they have been only reviewing applicants who recently interviewed and will go back to us at the end of interview season! That’s just what I’m assuming
 
To follow up, what was the glitch in October? And I'm also wondering when the interview season ends because it looks like there was big Pre II R dump yesterday.

I hope you're right that it's borderline WL/A and not WL/R! I can see where you are coming from, though, since discerning between a WL and R is a lot easier than between a WL and A. However, it's still kind of ridiculous and is kind of driving me away from going to this school. It seems that they do revisit old applications at the end of the month, so hopefully they'll revisit us at the end of March! 🙂

In October, a lot of us had to have our interviews rescheduled because either the system they used or their application crashed and did not let us interview, forcing us to reschedule our interviews. I think the end of the season is either the end of March or April, but I don't exactly remember. However, with the big pre-II R dump yesterday, it does signal that interview season is ending as they need to give people ample time to schedule their interview and work their schedule around it.
