8/13 complete! Been on pre-II hold since early January/Late December

I have the same complete date and also on hold since December so you’re not alone!

 

[Antiseptic11]

Same. When were you complete? I was complete mid-September and I have not heard anything. My portal still says that my app is under prelim review.

8/29 lol

 

[Anon_medgirl]

8/29 lol

Darn. Hopefully we'll hear something soon...

 

[Lifeblood_20]

I'm so happy to have an acceptance but am extremely worried about OOS tuition as a low-income student. Anyone else feeling the same way? How are you dealing?

Hey, I'm not OOS, but also low-income and feeling weary about med school finances. I've been dealing with my worries by learning how others in our shoes managed. The debt is scary, but it is reassuring to see physicians paying it off not too long after training.

I hope you get in somewhere IS with a lower cost of attendance, but we will make it through. Stay strong.

Just got the pre-ii R. Complete 7/28, IS, and my stats were way above average. Can't win them all 🙁

+1 rejected, was on hold- was pretty much expecting this so no biggie

How long until after the successful background check did it take to get a formal acceptance email? I got something about some accepted student zoom sessions but nothing implying a formal acceptance.

 

[Rosiris Fleetfoot]

Pre-II R at 11:30AM today. Cool.

Took me one day but I think they send it out in batches since multiple ppl reported full accepts on the same day around the same time!

 

[Mowgli11]

Checked my portal. Was put on hold sometime today. I was waitlisted after my Interview last year but never made it off. Not sure if I was negatively affected by not filling out the self assessment for reapplicants.

Ahhh okay thanks a lot! I was just concerned bc it had been a week since others said it was a day.

About a week for me!

 

[CricB4Tube]

[Antiseptic11]

[premed06s]

Was this via email?

 

[Blue Lion]

Anyone else didn’t get rejected today, but still hasn’t gotten an II here?

+1!!!!

 

[Antiseptic11]

No just the portal

 

[Antiseptic11]

This is one of my top choice schools and idk how to feel about being placed on hold this late in the game. I guess it's better than an R, but I wonder if it means the cycle is going on a bit later?

 

[minn#4]

I got the pre-II R yesterday afternoon. I was complete 9/4. OOS, URM

 

[wildmango]

Anyone still in preliminary review? Not sure how to feel about it since I was complete 8/3

 

[Anon_medgirl]

Anyone still in preliminary review? Not sure how to feel about it since I was complete 8/3

Yes- I was complete mid-September. IS. Not sure what to think about it 😕 I do not really understand why some people are placed on hold, while other's are left in silence at this point in the cycle.

My theory is that people with higher stats are reviewed first; at the top of the pile.

That would make sense, but there are people who have reported II's with lower stats than me...

 

[justtryingmybestlol97]

About a week for me!

My background check to formal acceptance took almost a month! Was v stressful even though I knew I was clear lol

I was complete 8/29 and I was placed on hold sometime last week, no e-mail just per the portal

Literally the same disbelief got mine yesterday as well. URM, Michigan resident, but my MCAT is a 500. I legit started crying when I got the email.

 

[Anon_medgirl]

Just got the pre-II R. IS. Kind of shocked...

 

[Mowgli11]

pre-II R this morning OOS. Sucks because last cycle I interviewed with them and was waitlisted.
Good luck everyone 🙂

 

[WAMCHELP123]

Has anyone from the 1/14 interview day heard anything yet?

 

[BlackGirlWhiteCoat2021]

I got an acceptance call last night! I was shocked, but I'm so thankful. Everything is in God's timing. I know it can be challenging but remain patient and consistent. Never Give Up no matter your circumstance. I pray for everyone's strength and the future blessings they will receive on this journey!

Interview 12/3 URM IS.

 

[WAMCHELP123]

[Blue Lion]

Anything we should look over/read/watch before our information session besides what was shared in the email regarding it?

 

[Chasing_MD-DO]
