Same here bud, we must be patient. Good things come to those who wait! 🙂

Side question - Does anybody know much about this program? I could not find much information when I researched their website and MSAR, other than the small class size.

You could always email the admissions committee. Doesn’t hurt to let them know you’re extremely interested!

It’s a whole day event. From 8-3, I believe.

 

[FaradmeetsVolt]

Interview came Thursday. Most of post October-20 was still unfilled. Hang in tight guys. (518, 3.84) I finished my app here mid-September.

 

[premed738297]

Seeing many complete in Sept with II's. Anyone else complete early August and still under Admissions Screening in Progress?

 

[Garageboy200]

Seeing many complete in Sept with II's. Anyone else complete early August and still under Admissions Screening in Progress?

Yes! Complete early August and still have that on my portal

 

[NoEyeEyeGuy]

Yes! Complete early August and still have that on my portal

yeah me too. complete early august and still "admissions screening in progress" ...v frustrating.

 

[floridaheatkills]

Same as y'all. Complete mid-August, still "Admissions Screening In Progress". FAU is 20 min away from home! Receiving an interview would be a dream

 

[mkko09]

Just spitballing here, but maybe its taking some of us longer in the screening process is cuz we just had longer apps so there's more to review. Like maybe the people who are complete just had shorter apps so they were reviewed quicker??

Not sure what you mean by longer? I am review completed and my app is “full”? 15/15 activities+max PS etc

 

[LearningNeverGetsOld]

Are you IS?

 

[mkko09]

Yeah I meant app length. I maxed out on all my characters for PS and 2ndaries, max activities, and letter, and I had an adcom member specifically tell me that it took them a bit longer to review my app compared to other applicants just because there was so much more information to cover. That being said I'm sure there are other factors that come into play such as completion date and state residency. Plus my earlier comment was just speculation in regards to FAU lol.

 

[abuch4]

Prelim complete. IS complete 9/22 for those asking.

 

[Mr. Clean123]

I am guessing there are still people on here who were complete early August that still have "Admission Screening in Progress." It is very frustrating
seeing people's status change that were complete over a month later. Anyone else feel like this?

Does it have anything to do with IS/OOS or High vs. Avg MCAT score or ORM/URM?

 

[Garageboy200]

Does it have anything to do with IS/OOS or High vs. Avg MCAT score or ORM/URM?

I don’t know for sure but I’m IS/ORM and was complete in mid July with that as my portal designation, so that would make a lot of since!

For what it's worth, I'm ORM, IS, 516, 3.5. Hang in there.

 

[Mr. Clean123]

I'm literally almost identical to that, except 515 MCAT but just have to be patient

Do you remember if your secondary ever got to the “screening completed” message?

Also, congrats!!!

Did you figure this out because the instructions make it seem like it's in person

Wait never mind. A follow up email just confirmed that it is virtual!

I never got any emails other than one confirming my secondary app submission on August 19th. And thank you 🙂

 

[Kangpoong20]

II Today. excited to learn more about FAU!! ORM, IS, MCAT: 518, GPA: 3.89

 

[sdsurfer]

Does anyone know if the status on the portal says preliminary review completed, does the II usually follow a few hours/days later?

 

[themalik]

Wait never mind. A follow up email just confirmed that it is virtual!

Bless, still think im still gonna call just to calm my neuroticism

 

[stormcloakdoctor]

Interview is tomorrow, still havent received zoom link or any further instructions?

 

[The Dragon of the West]

Have you tried calling their admissions office? When I spoke to them in August they were really friendly and helpful. Good luck bud!

 

[Diagnostic Quest]

It is inspiring to see that a handful of students got an II that are lifting 200lb heavier than me. I got an II today and I was like...statistically impossible.

 

[bmmd]

II ! From last week 🙂

 

[stormcloakdoctor]

Received a very warm phone call from the admissions director Monica. They were having technical difficulties with the email system and sorting out the online interview

 

[globalmedicine23]

II received 10/17. IS/ORM/3.5/514. Thought this would be a long-shot. Very excited to interview here!
