Just got the call...accepted!! Holy moly I did not think this would happen this early in the cycle. As a reapplicant I can just reiterate that this is a long cycle. Stay positive, hang in there, and let me know if you ever need any words of encouragement 🙂

Dude....not to be creepy or anything, but I just traced your timeline with this school you got an interview invite, attended the interview, and got accepted all within less than 3 weeks. That's the quickest turnaround I've ever seen. Congrats!!! :clap:

Nice!!! Seems like your perseverance has paid off!
 
For the "Do you have experience shadowing or working with a physician (DO or MD)?" questions is it advised we just list. Ive only got scribing so I listed all the physicians I worked with. I already talked about the scribing experience during the primary so I was unsure if they wanted another story. I saw some of y'all had many shadowing/experiences and just listed, however I only have one so I guess I could go into detail

Does anyone have any advice on MUCOM's interview?
Click to expand...

They give you exactly 30 mins in your interview. Someone will automatically pull you out of the room, so it can get kinda awkward at the end while you’re waiting for it to end. I just tried to keep it conversational regardless! That was the weirdest part for me though lol. But just be genuine, that’s the best advice I can give!
EDIT: Zoom breakout room, not physical room lol! It’s all virtual!

Woah. So they're still doing in person interviews???
 
Quick question my good people. So I received my secondary application received email on 8/24, but it says my application is "on hold" due to missing LORs. I have already submitted by LORs via AACOMAS and I wasn't sure as to why they were not posted on my portal yet. All the other schools have my LORs in their system but Marian. I know it says in the email that I shouldn't contact them unless 4 weeks have passed, but I'm just getting a lil neurotic (as usual lol). Anyone has any idea about this?

I submitted my secondary on 7/22, LORs marked as received ~8/11, and then on 9/1 I received an official email telling me my application is complete and under review. I went through this wait even though all my LORs and other requirements were available to them from day 1. If you read other posts on this thread, you'll see people have similar wait times or even longer. Just be patient! Good luck 🙂

Thank you my hero. and MY GOD it took a long time for you to go through all that. Good luck to you and all my fellow neurotic premeds out here!
 
congrats on those who got IIs! Do you mind sharing when you were complete?
 
Instead of an II, I got an email from Choose DO saying- "You've made it--you're at the interview process!" -- umm.. what interview? lol
 
Those that got secondaries, after how long after submitting the primary did you receive it?
 
Got an email that my application is submitted at the end of August, it's approaching a 2-week mark that they have mentioned in the email about the review and sending secondary. Do you know if they do serious screening before sending out secondaries? And also if I still haven't heard from them, so do you think that's a silent R?

They are a bit backed up so I would wait a few more days. Maybe you could also try emailing or calling? They're pretty friendly and open to help.

was it a pretty traditional interview with the standard questions? Closed or open file? And lastly, did they say when you should hear back about their decision

Hi friend! It was pretty traditional, but they do throw some curve balls at ya. Definitely don't be afraid to take your time on those and go with your gut response. It's closed file, and they said I would hear back either 5-12 days from the interview (I interviewed on a Friday and they called me the following Wednesday). They mentioned potentially not getting to the decision until the following week, though. It's a super quick turnaround time, and I love them for that lol. Hope this helps!! Good luck!!! 🙂
 
How long did it take to receive a complete email? I’ve been marked compete in the portal since 08/18.
 
Is anyone applying for the Early Acceptance Track? If so, have you heard anything yet? I know it's still pretty early on in September but considering they will do the interview and give an admissions decision within this month, they'd probably need to extend an II soon.
