So sorry to hear that.. When were you complete?

Thank you, I got the complete email 11/4 although I had everything marked complete on the portal in August

 

[YeMustBeBornAgain]

I submitted on 8/12 and JUST got the complete email on 11/4..... is this normal or.....? how long after complete email are decisions typically being made?

Read the rest of the thread. They are very behind this year due to personnel changes. After to get the complete email, they say 3/4 weeks to hear about an interview.

 

[LANYOH]

Just got 7 rejection emails from this school back to back OK I GET IT jeez

 

[Mak MD]

Kinda. I submitted early August. Got the complete email Oct 10. R this morning (3 emails informing me of the rejection)

Same, except I received 9 in a row. I hope this is just a glitch and not real rejections.

[perrcoxmd1]

Same. I guess they want to make sure we really get the message.

 

[shadowblue]

They really really must hate me.... 19 emails and counting

This is actually an unbelievable troll job. Kudos to them!

 

[Jeanne d'Arc]

Dang, I was worried when I got on the waitlist, they are sending you all an R and rubbing that rejection. Hopefully, it is a glitch, I see no reason you need to send an R more than once or twice. 17...19 rejections? What the

 

[Metamorphosis.DO]

Are theee interviews open or close file?

 

[premed0516]

Rejected just now, 3.2/510

 

[DOctor2be95]

Reminds me of last year when they accidentally sent me an acceptance, but I was actually waitlisted. Worst feeling ever.

 

[MotherofDragonflies]

Dear Marian,

I get it. You don’t want me. But do you need to send me 30 rejection emails to say it?

 

[Jeanne d'Arc]

This is by far the funniest and saddest goof-up I have ever heard a med school do. I hope you guys end up somewhere else.

I just got 19 R's from them this morning too. I guess they liked you a little better lol

 

[MotherofDragonflies]

About a month ago I was rejected from a school pre-secondary. They then had some glitch and sent emails out to a bunch of people (not me) about a secondary. They then sent me another email telling me to disregard the email (that I didn't get) and that I definitely was rejected.

That's okay. I just got my second interview invite just now. Am a happy Mother of Dragonflies.

 

[YNWA_Kuro]

Got another email apologizing for the error but that the rejection was accurate 😂

 

[psychneuro33]

R this morning

 

[xtinagrey_2]

R this morning

I'm sorry to hear that. Do you mind telling me when you received a complete email?

 

[psychneuro33]

I'm sorry to hear that. Do you mind telling me when you received a complete email?

Thanks! I was complete 08/11 but didn’t receive the under review email until 10/10

 

[bennettca4]

To those who got IIs;

Did anyone get an II without an official "secondary is complete" email? Either because you emailed/called about the status and were told then that it was complete or you simply never got one?

I emailed about mine a week ago and they said it was complete but I never got the official. Might I get an II without an official complete email?

They seem to be very behind. I summitted my application in July and received completion email about two weeks ago. 503 MCAT 3.85 GPA

 

[Racerr]

Interviewed here today, wanted to say the faculty were all incredible. They did seem to be slightly behind and also noted they were trending to interview more than their average (which was around like 530 I believe). Hold on strong all

 

[fosho24]

Does MU-COM set up rotations for us in our third and fourth years or do we have to set them up?

 

[ahopefulmed]

Does anyone have any knowledge of waitlist movement before May? Thank you

 

[DrThanos]

I know people last year who got off the waitlist in May. I wouldn't worry too too much about being stuck on the waitlist.

 

[DOctor2be95]

They usually pull once in January, once in March, once in May and then as needed throughout the summer!

Wow awesome thank you!!!

 

[phrenicnerve]

checked my portal today and all my letters were checked off and it says my application is complete - when should I expected the application complete email?

 

[Ltrack22]

Interview Invite today! Submitted earlier September.

 

[Racerr]

Put on the alternate list post-II. Slightly felt like it was partial yield protection as I had a strong mission fit, local, alum letter etc but scores significantly higher than their profile. But best of luck to everyone else!

 

[nubo]

Accepted today!

 

[dlynne22]

II today! Complete 10/19.

 

[sussieQ2005]

II today! Complete early October as well.

 

[Almosthere771]

somehow forgot to apply to this school and on my excel doc i had it listed as "waiting".... yes I was waiting for my ******* to send my primary.

sent primary Thursday last week, received my secondary today!!!!

 

[drmeter]

Withdrew my application here. Hoping my seat goes to one of you! I truly think Marian is a great school and I would have been very happy here, but I'm choosing my in-state school instead. Good luck everyone

 

[medDaisuki]

Submitted almost 4 weeks ago and still haven't been marked complete. Is it normal or should I contact the school? Thanks!!!

 

[Eggsinasauce]

Alternate list yesterday.

 

[sussieQ2005]

Alternate list yesterday.

Sorry to hear :/ That could be good though! Better than an R for sure. Can I ask if they said how many waitlists they have?

I don't think they said anything about multiple lists. And honestly I didn't vibe with the school at the interview so it's okay! I will be withdrawing. Better luck to you all!

Thanks-can I ask what the interview was like? Sorry to keep bothering you, no worries if you'd rather not talk about it. I just got an interview so am curious.

 

[Murse2MD]

Anyone know how they select off the waitlist? Is it basically first added first chosen, or do they do more of a holistic review?

It was pretty standard, just a presentation then one interview with 2 faculty. It was less conversational than other interviews I've had, but nothing to stress about. My interviewers were super nice. There is a lot of downtime during the day too.

The best bet would be to call them but from what I heard you are put on one of many lists and they will review all the waitlisted people. Not sure when the movement starts, if much will even occur this cycle.

 

[mcjonesie9]

Alternate list yesterday.

Same here... pretty bummed

 

[Mddo&beyond]

Is the deposit fee for an acceptance $250 or $750? I am trying to plan out my finances in case I am lucky enough, but I saw conflicting info on their website.
