Does this mean that applicants from HYS + Duke, Penn, UCLA are straight coasting through the interviews?

Just observation, UCs are actually dropping as admissions stage progresses while some other schools not even in top 10 applied makes splash in top 10 offers (Northwestern and U Chicago).

Yes but also note what fraction of applicants from those schools actually get interviews at all. E.g., UCLA = 9/269 (3%), UCB = 14/239 (6%), Duke = 16/110 (15%), Harvard = 27/134 (20%)

umich updated the tracker which shows 9800 apps!! i feel bad in some ways because there are thousands of new apps submitting in late sept and i dont think umich is really altering their rolling admissions to account for covid.

I wouldnt be surprised if they hit 10,000 by the final due date for apps. I wonder how schools such as GW/Georgetown are fairing if Umich is hitting some of their normal cycle numbers

Hi guys, MSTP here! I haven't heard back from UMich (no II or rejection) even though some people completed after me have received IIs and rejections for MSTP. Should I be concerned?

Applications are not always reviewed or invited chronologically, and interviews run between now and January for MSTP. I wouldn't be concerned if I were, just wait and see.

I was invited for an interview for the MSTP in mid-October several years ago, and I ended up getting in. I'd say don't worry quite yet.

My friend got her MSTP II in November last year, interviewed in January, and got in!

EDP applicant here who was WL (SOS) do you think it is too late to apply now?
Click to expand...
IMO (and you'll likely hear others who disagree), I say yes, it's too late. Submitting a primary in October to a school is not likely to be fruitful unless maybe you're a standout applicant. My advice is to spend this (potential, fingers crossed for your WL!) gap year to improve your application and apply next year without the re-app status!

Even with COVID delays?

What COVID delays? Michigan, like pretty much every other medical school, has a record number of applications already. In addition to having sent out nearly half of their total interview invites.
 
Does anyone know if we are allowed to take notes during the MMI?

You technically are but you won’t need them. You also have to throw them away afterwards.

EDIT: Just to be more inclusive, I didn’t find that I needed notes, but if they make you feel better then you are allowed to take notes

Couldn't be more excited to see the "We've just sent out 22 interview invitations!" tweet at 4pm and begin a new week of disappointment!

Has U of M submitted any pre-interview R's? I was completed 8/19 and my status is still under review.
 
Hey everyone, I interviewed in mid-September. We are supposed to find out about decisions soon right? I forgot the exact date. SO NERVOUS

I was submitted on 8/30. It's very possible they still are reviewing your app or comparing it to other applications as they come in. I wouldn't worry yet!

In the past there was a trend at least that around late October to December there were gradually more IS IIs.

Howeveeeeer, that was mostly because it was easier for IS students to travel to campus during this season. Not to mention UMich Med Mondays started a month late this year.

Reaaaally hoping they still keep with this trend this year, even though everything will be online...

Being Complete the first week and stalking this thread/their twitter every Monday has dropped my overall confidence in this process more than any rejection could regardless of positive outcomes elsewhere haha.

Michigan's official policy is "no later than the 20th of the month following the month in which their interview took place." In reality, this can be a bit flexible. Last year, I got the admit email a few days prior to this. For people who have friends that are current students here, it is not uncommon for those friends to ask the admissions office if they can let the acceptee know in advance of the official email being sent.
