Question about this process: If we submitted an application early and didnt get an II, does that mean are chances are significantly lower of getting on in the future as admissions are rolling? Aka will they revisit older applications?

I was wondering the same thing

Anybody who received an interview have a late complete date, e.g. in September?

From what I understand, they keep reviewing until you get the R. I've heard people describe it like there's a physical stack of applications and they pull out the ones they give II's and R's, and then they go through the pile again to see who the next set of II's go to. Basically, your app is reviewed several times until they ultimately decide whether they want to invite you or reject.

It's not over till it's over.

Does anyone know their policy on sending application updates?
 
Have any of you all received a confirmation for your interview date?

No, they said it can take up to a week which actually overlaps with one of the choices lol

Oh snap, I wish I knew that before selecting 10/14 lol. I guess I'll start prepping this weekend just in case.

Any idea about the interview format?

I think there are two interviews about 30 mins each. One is a faculty interview and the other a second year student interview. Fairly certain at least the faculty interview is typically closed file (student might be as well).

Received an email with date and details to follow! They are having some issues with the new process format that’s causing delays apparently. All the best to everyone!
 
Congrats to those who have received IIs!!! Would you guys mind sharing your complete date and LizzyM?
 
There are two faculty interviews. Both blind interviews. My first one had 3-5 Situational judgement questions and then free-flowing conversation. Second one was only 5 situational judgement questions. Pretty difficult interview imo.

Does anyone know if Brody allows update letters? If so, where/how/who do you send them to? I tried looking on their website but couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

Did anyone receive an email with the subject line "RCN Expiration and Update"? My RCN expires next week, but no update was provided on the email... ? Am I just overanalyzing this email? ... :(

I did as well. I updated my RCN and responded with the new expiration date. They confirmed receipt after a week.

Don't be too discouraged! They still have a lot to give out and I am a reapplicant this year that was waitlisted from them last year so I might be different than other applicants that submitted in Sept

do you mind sharing your stats?
 
wfottins said:
Would you mind sharing whether the situational judgment questions were more scenario-based, or did they require you to draw from previous experiences in your own life?

I had a little bit of both

I would say half were situational-based and the other half required that you draw from previous experiences and explain how you felt/how you responded/reacted/what you liked/did not like.
 
Are all the folks who have II so far reapplicants?
 
Veggie Lover said:
Nope, and most of the interviewees in my session were also first time applicants

when were you complete? and do you in general know when other interviewees were complete? I was complete 8/31 and havent heard but i guess that is a little late?

Has anyone with a 10/21 II received their confirmed date yet? A little worried I haven't heard back and the first date could be in a week!

Hmm, I got my II on 10/21 and got my interview date confirmed exactly a week later.

I submitted in early September and it's been nothing but silence for me. Already had an II at this time last year and I submitted much later in the cycle then.... hopefully we'll hear something in the next couple of weeks.
