Where would you send a letter of intent? Thru the application portal or directly email them?

i wanted to do a letter of intent

 

[wysdoc]

Since they state they only want thank you notes or grade reports, I would follow the rules here. Unless in your thank-you note you say you would love to attend

Have any accepted students received an email about the background check?

Were you RD or ED?

I was accepted RD 10/16, uploaded my acceptance statement+technical standards and haven't heard anything from them since. I did not receive a background check. I wonder if they do it only after you've committed.

I think the background check stuff only comes out after January 1st and then you have a certain amount of time to complete it.

ED

To give ppl hope, I received an II today

just curious too: how far out is your interview scheduled?

 

[CBMFN]

Does anyone know how we can obtain student ID no?

 

[stickgirl390]

Does anyone know how we can obtain student ID no?

Current M3; when I was first accepted we didn’t get our student IDs until our tech orientation, which was about a week before classes, assuming they’re still doing it that way. We got IDs and sized for white coats at the same time.

I am an M2 and we got our student ID #, email, and account login info in April. You'll get your physical ID card that gives you access to campus buildings at orientation!

Congrats, do you mind sharing your stats and interview date.

 

[Curiousaboutdisease01]

Congrats! I received nothing, so I guess that's an R. Looks like all emails have gone out just before 8 AM to those accepted, based on past months.

I don't think that necessarily means an R, a ton of people who heard nothing at first received As in February last year.

Interviewed 11/2, 516 MCAT, 4.0 GPA. Very late applicant though!

 

[deleted834571]

Accepted this morning as well. 3.4 GPA, 517 MCAT. Interviewed 10/29. If you haven't heard back yet, don't give up hope! Many people heard back before I did after my interview date.

 

[the.retina.guy]

Should I be worried I haven’t heard anything yet: 3.82 GPA 514 MCAT and interviewed on September 29th?

 

[optimisticpoet123]

Anyone from a December interview hear back this time around?

 

[deleted739272]

Nope, interviewed 12/8

Does anyone know the deadline to receive an II?

I think they said they interview through January

my friends interviewed last year in september with 3.9/4.0 gpas and 520s and heard back in March. if it took that long for MCG to get back to them, I wouldn't be too worried right now. hang in there, you got this!

 

[reddanger95]

Accepted students, did you all get a confirmation or anything after you uploaded the acceptance and technical standards documents? And is there anything else we need to do to confirm the seat?

 

[slay123]

How does one update their extracurricular/ activity section? And is it even worth doing if I already interviewed?

 

[ihaveAquestion826]

I don’t think you can update that actual section in the portal. This usually goes in an update letter/letter of interest. Although I think MCG said they will only accept thank you notes and grade reports now since it’s after December 1st.
From what I’ve been told, I don’t think a new activity, especially a new one, would make or break your application

What about updating with grad school grades post-II?

I have not. I don’t believe we do, until the CTE deadline.

 

[ihaveAquestion826]

This you definitely do! Especially since they said they will be accepting unofficial transcript reports!

M1 at the Athens campus! happy to answer any questions. Will try to remember and check this as often as I can. Feel free to DM me as well.

Augusta does, but Athens doesn’t. Something along the lines of no leggings and no toes (flip flops) from what I remember

Yeah, basically no athletic wear. You can wear jeans, pants, shorts/skirt of appropriate length. For tops, you can wear tshirts, but no tank tops. It's kind of flexible as long as you're not noticeable lol. I could get away with wearing joggers or yoga pants if they looked nice.

Is this just for lab settings or all class settings?
