If I've been stuck at "Admissions Screening Completed" for months and haven't been assigned to "Preliminary Review Assigned", does that just mean they aren't even considering me? Really confused

same here...been really stressing about it but just gonna let it go & whatever happens happens. hopefully march is less quiet
 
Mine switched to Admissions Screening Completed too. Someone else posted this earlier in the thread (12/7/20):

"This is the order the portal updates go in (from the last application cycle):
1. Admissions screening complete
2. Preliminary review assigned
3. Preliminary review completed
4. You will get an email with an interview invite if selected
5. Interview Report Completed
6. Admissions committee scheduled
7. Admissions committee review complete
8. Admissions decision (accepted, not accepted, alternate list)

Let me know if you guys have any other questions about the school. Good luck!"

Not completely sure if this tells us anything...we might just be in the next batch to get some correspondence.
 
Did this school make any adjustments to their requirements because of COVID

Is FAU still interviewing? Do you have an idea about their MCAT and GPA averages ?

I am unsure if they are still sending interview invites, but I have an interview with them tomorrow! so I bet they still are sending out invites 🙂 And their FAQ page says their averages are 510 MCAT and 3.7 GPA (but their entering class has higher stats than that)

Hey congrats on the interview! What did you think of the questions?

Hey! Do you know how to prepare for the interview I have one next week and am pretty nervous.

To prepare for this interview, I just did practice questions out loud as well as brush up on the basics of medical ethics. It will be helpful if you can find someone to do a practice interview with you, but the day was really great and I have no doubt that you will be fine 🙂 everyone was super nice and it helped calm my nerves a lot before the interview. There are plenty of free articles and youtube videos that can tell you what to expect. Good luck!

I agree! I thought the questions were very fair, and there was not one that really shocked me (but to be fair, since it was MMI, I knew I was going to be asked questions I have never been asked before). If you just practice thinking on your feet, itll be okay! Good luck 🙂
 
Hi. I was recently accepted here and in the email it states to “accept our offer” by sending an email to their FAU medicine email. Did anyone receive confirmation after sending this email? I didn’t and tried to call like a week later but their office phones says they are remote rn and to email. I just wanna make sure they got my confirmation 😅.
 
Hey guys,

I remember during the interview they said if you are waitlisted that we need to follow the CYMS guidelines in order to be considered for acceptance. So do we still choose "plan to enroll" for another school, but email FAU that we still would like to be considered for acceptance? I remember Monica explaining all of this but I forgot some of it. Thanks in advance!

Are they still sending interview invites? also thoughts on sending pre-interview update letters?
Click to expand...
You can add an application update on the app website, but it has a 150 character limit or something, so you can't really add much.
 
anybody hear anything about a fb group for admitted students yet?

Congrats! Did you send any updates to your application after your interview?

Thank you! No, not after. I did send an update in December prior to my interview invite to inform them of a new publication and grades. Pretty neat coincidence because I got my interview invite literally like 30 minutes after I sent the update.

We were never given an exact number, but I would say more than half! Then again, the class size is very small so that is another factor to keep in mind.

What was the timeline for your waitlist? I know that Monica said that they’d review again after the official decisions day April 30, but did you just get a call during May or..???

Accepted this afternoon. My only acceptance, doesn't feel real. I interviewed on 2/2. LizzyM 69.

Congrats on your acceptance! 🙂 Did Monica call you or did you get notified on the portal? I’m impatiently waiting to hear back after interviewing a few weeks ago

Did she tell you a date of when you will hear back? If you’re accepted, she will call you on that date.

Thank you! I second what the user below said. She should have given you a date for decision, and yes it does come as a phone call for an acceptance. Good luck!!

Yes she told us a date its in a few weeks, was just curious if some acceptances were notified through the portal or everyone got a call, thank you & congrats again on your acceptance!
 
Just checked the portal results from an interview in early February--alternative list. Bummed it isn't an A, but also very relieved it isn't an R. Now to keep waiting until May for some movement...fingers crossed for us waitlistees that we'll end up here in sunny Boca!

Thanks🙂 yeah they seem to stick to the date they give and acceptances do seem to be a phone call thing bc she specifically said she wanted to make the call as opposed to updating the portal lol
