Congrats to all with interview invites!!

I noticed in the complete email it says they will ONLY notify us if we are invited to interview. Does that mean they don't send Rs over email? If not, where do we check??

Hey guys dumb question. I'm working on my secondary and accidentally hit "complete" on the prerequisites but forgot to add a lab credit. But it won't let me edit what I put?! Is there a way to change this? I haven't paid yet or submitted it yet. Has this happened to anyone else?

I would advise you to email admin team. I am having similar issue in that My labs + lectures are grouped together.
 
For those of you that received an II and called the office to schedule, do you know when they will send out interview confirmation emails?

The woman who scheduled my interview said we will get an email about a week before our interview confirming our times and providing links to their interview platform. I don't know if we will receive any word before then though!
 
Does anyone know the approximate amount/percentage of people who are screened out prior to getting a secondary? I got my secondary a few days ago and I got slight hope that I could have some chance with this school lol
 
Hey all! So excited to see you’re interested in EVMS. Im a current M1 and wanted to let you know that EVMS loves to waitlist students so if you get that email after your interview, please be aware that its NOT a rejection.
This school is truly unique and I love it dearly. The student body here is the friendliest you’ll ever find (I interviewed at a few other places and NONE of them compare to EVMS). The administration puts students first 100% of the time and wants all of you to succeed. Please feel free to pm me for any personal questions/comments/concerns

Lol I'm feeling the exact same way and was actually wondering the same thing. Tried to google it but can't find any numbers :/ Would love to hear from anyone who knows on this thread

The first question: Briefly describe your exposure to medicine.
Does this includes research, or mainly asking about clinical/shadowing. Can I also take about how I became interested in medicine? Thanks

I talked briefly about my exposure to medicine as a child (rural and underserved area) and how that sparked my interest. Then I talked about how that led me to work at a nursing home/shadow and eventually apply to medical school! Not sure if that's what they were looking for but I got an II so I guess it works!

Pretty similar here, I talked about my childhood interest in medicine, connected it to my early exploration in HS, and connected that to what I did in college. Didn't mention research (even though that was my app's focus). Got the II as well
 
Do we know if they're doing a whole virtual interview day with synchronous information sessions, or will they just provide slides to look over on your own time (I know GWU did this)?
