Can you all who received a pre-II R say when you were complete? I was complete in July or August and have received nothing from this school yet :/ ... Thanks!!

I think you should reach out to show interest and to see if something is messed up in the system. My daughter had her secondary not go through at a different school. She emailed and they checked and she got the II the same day.
This school was very quick with their response. She interviewed and was accepted two days later.
Good luck to you!

Interviewed on 2/2, accepted on 2/18. I would love to talk to some other students who are planning on joining the class of 2025. I am a nontraditional student from California, nervous to make the move!

[DrSeashell]

Do they have any admissions webinars or student Q&As for people who are going to interview?

 

[Futuredoc12!]

II as well! Can a student who already interviewed give any advice? Also, how many 1 on 1 interviews are there and are they just ~30 min or so? Are the interviews more conversational or ethical based? Thanks!!

II today! Dates were in mid-April! It is safe to say I’m basically interviewing for the waitlist?

 

[Ozymandias D.O]

Just finished my interview portion, pretty comfortable and low stress, questions were mostly based off my CV or related back to it.

Did they say anything about when you’ll know their decision?

Did they say anything about these later interview dates only being for waitlisted positions or actual seats in the class? I am interviewing early next month and very curious. Thanks!

[pandemicapplicant]

trying to see what is the earliest date that someone interviewed and is still waiting to hear back, responses will be appreciated!

 

[Meraki419]

Anyone know when they start sending out financial aid decisions?

 

[vera2398]

I managed to change my interview from mid-april to mid-march lol. Do you think I'll be able to get in on this months decisions?

I'm just a random guy who interviewed so my guess is nothing more then a guess, but it looks like some people earlier in this thread did get really fast results if they interviewed later in the month. Fingers crossed we get our A's at the same time!

 

[devnurav]

anyone know the post interview acceptance rate here?

 

[pandemicapplicant]

where do we submit the letter of intent?

 

[pandemicapplicant]

I have heard that it is pretty high but not too sure.. when did you interview?

anyone know the post interview acceptance rate here?

 

[happytree101]

[nss923]

Does anyone know if the waitlist is ranked or unranked?

 

[DrSeashell]

Wow really? How do you know

 

[pandemicapplicant]

Has anyone heard back from CCOM recently? I am trying to see what the turn around time is

 

[freckleddoc]

[trynabeamd]

II today, interview dates were 3/23 and mid April

 

[devnurav]

do they evaluate pre-ii candidates and post ii candidates altogether or is that separate?

 

[UNKN0WN]

What do you mean exactly? Pre and post interview are different steps in the process. Pre interview, your application is evaluated to determine if you should receive an interview. Post interview, your application, now with the results of the interview, is evaluated to determine if you should receive an acceptance.

no what i mean is that when the committee comes together to see who is eligible for an interview, do they in the same day subsequently evaluate the candidates who have already interviewed (for an acceptance, waitlist, rejection). Or does the committee come together on a completely separate day to evaluate us post II peeps.

 

[medstudent216]
