Haven't got confirmation back either. Heard it takes a few business days but was thinking about sending another email by the end of the week if I hadn't heard anything??

Haven't received confirmation email either, but I think I mentioned a couple messages above how they don't necessarily send confirmation emails. Ig if you want peace of mind, you could send another email asking for receipt of the confirmation.
 
For those who got the A, how long did it take to receive your letter in the mail?

I was accepted around last week, but I know from a couple friends, we get the letter approximately a month after. Not sure if it takes a little bit longer for some people cuz of snail mail.
 
Is there any important information we receive in the letter that is not provided in the email for accepted students?
 
Nope, all it says you need to do is send an email to admissions to confirm your spot in the accepted students pool!
 
The email letter said something about uploading money to cane link. Did I miss something or will this not be available until later?

I'm unable to message you privately but would love to hear more about:

1. What is a typical daily/weekly schedule (required components)
2. What is the exam schedule like? I heard it's weekly quizzes, no tests?
3. How well prepared you feel for STEP? (so far... I know it's early)
4. Is it true anatomy is prosection only?
5. How well supported do you feel by the faculty as a student, or do you feel like you're on your own?

1.) There are three main "classes", the MAP/doctoring course, your dual degree/scholarly concentration course, and the Clinical Science/Symptoms block depending on the semester.

Your typical weekly schedule is:

M T Thrs Friday from 8 AM - 12 PM EST for Symptoms/Clinical Science; the first 2 or 3 hours are usually seminars and the last 1 or 2 hour (depending on the day) are small group sessions where you go over clinical vignettes.

Wednesdays you have off.

Once a week you will have 1 PM - 4PM timeslot (sometimes goes shorter) for the doctoring/MAP course.

If you are in a dual degree, you will have an additional class from 1-4ish one day a week for whatever dual degree component you did. The MD people will have something similar starting in the 2nd semester for their scholarly concentration.

While everything is "required" persay, due to Zoom university and the logistics of taking attendance people that don't find the morning lectures/seminars useful either watch third party resources or sleep in.

2.) Exams are weekly, low stakes exams. Super low stress and promotes actual learning of content rather than cramming to get a high grade. All the classes are pass-fail.

3.) I have been doing AnKing casually and while I do feel like the content goes with the material on the decks, I haven't studied enough of step stuff/whats on it to give you a concrete answer. I DO feel like the symptoms-based helps a lot for clinical reasoning however, and that is a lot more correlated with step 2. Maybe someone else can comment on this.

4.) We have definitely been lacking on the anatomy side. Granted, this might be similar at other schools due to COVID, but I have personally yet to step foot in an anatomy lab. I have no intentions of pursuing anything surgery related so this is a blessing for me but it can be a negative for others. They had optional anatomy labs for the first block and last I heard the anatomy lab you can walk in to look at prosections but it is not integrated with the morning classes other than correlates where we see the prosection on Zoom.

5.) Faculty have been amazing and supportive; both from the teaching faculty and administration side of things. While some teaching faculty are stronger than others, the administration is really on our side and wants us to succeed; they have been very flexible with changing things around to accommodate schedules and conflicts. For example: the MPH class was 4 hours long last semester, and after we submitted feedback they have now changed future MPH classes to be one and a half hour max.


Feel free to ask anything else or if there is any that needs clarification; quickly typed this up on my phone while I study.

Have you received any communication that next fall semester courses may be in person?

No mention of that yet. We did receive an email that they are starting to allow extracurriculars/indoor events of up to 15 people so hopefully it’ll go in that direction
 
Hey guys, my status went from something along the lines of " your app is currently being reviewed" with like a black font to now " Your Application to the UM Miller School of Medicine is complete and is currently being reviewed by the Admissions Committee." with a green font. Is this the same status or an actual status change? Thanks 🙂

This might be a status change! I still have the black font that says "Your Application is currently under review by the Admissions Committee at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine."

Hi all, I have a few questions. Do we think miami is behind in regards to applications and interviews this year? Does anyone know when they interview through?
 
For people that got an A, how long did it take after your interview? .....askin' for a friend

They give you a list of dates decisions come out so just depends where your interview falls in terms of the dates. I think someone posted the list of dates early in the thread... around pg 13 i believe.
 
Another big selection meeting tonight! Good luck to everyone in the running who recently interviewed or is on the alternate list! Keep your phones ready...

I thought we were supposed to receive the call by 5?

Historically- not really. It could be as early as 5 but what we have been told in the past is that their meetings run past 5. Some people get a call later in the evening, some the next morning, and others get an email acceptance with no call. A slim few will even get acceptances on weeks when there is no meeting. This seems to be the pattern over the last few months in this thread.

Two weeks ago they sent me the vague email at like 12 PM on Thursday apologizing for not calling. Then complete silence throughout the day. Then I got the acceptance email at 11PM that same day. Have to say I experienced a roller coster of emotions that day lol.
