I don't think they’ve released any RD decisions. I interviewed 9/11 and they said end of Oct/ beginning of Nov so should be hearing soon!!

I remember them saying that, guess I just hoped now counted as late october haha. Thanks and good luck!
Are updates accepted? Is it via email? Thanks!
Pre-II R +1
I'm sorry to hear. May i ask what are your stats and complete date?
I’m sorry to hear that! I wish you luck with your journey! You will get an acceptance from another school!
Did you interview with them? If so, when?

I'm honestly having a hard time coming up with unique "why us" responses for the HBCUs. They all are very similar in cultivating black doctors, focusing on underserved communities. Any advice in how to significantly distinguish Morehouse from the others?
I’d suggest looking at some of their programs you might be interested in & mentioning those. At least that’s what I did & I got an interview!

Yeah that's the plan but I'm still having a hard time making it unique if they all have outreach type programs you know? Does it need to be MORE specific? Also congrats on II. Do you mind sharing your stats and completion date?
I’ve mentioned essentially the same programs in my “why us” for a number of schools & just switched the names. I’ve had success thus far so I’d say it’s fine. I received my II a while back (interviewed in Sep)

Sorry you got rejected! I wish you success with the rest of the cycle!

You got this!! I really do believe that they do a more holistic review of applicants. It's not over till it's over 🙂
This was pre-II!! Sorry I should have specified. Best of luck!!
Sorry to hear this. Better luck for the rest of the cycle. Do you mind sharing your stats?
Nope, interviewed 9/25 and haven’t heard anything. They said decisions would be made late october/early november though
Someone said that earlier as well , I’m just so anxious! Lol hopefully we can hear something soon!
Waiting is the hard part lol but we’ve made it this far, just a bit longer! Best of luck to you.

For anyone who did the interview, were they really 55 minutes? On my schedule it says the first interview is from 10 30 to 11 25, and that is 55 minutes. The second interview is also 55 minutes. Can anyone testify to this?
Yup they are!

Wow that's super long, what exactly do they focus on during the interview?
Depends on your interviewer. Mine definitely went in different directions but were overall conversational so the time goes by quickly. Check out the sdn Morehouse interview page- I found it super helpful!

Thanks for your reply. Also, one last thing. What was the interview format? Was it a panel interview, group, or just a traditional 1 on 1 interview?
two 1:1 interviews!
Still haven’t heard anything. I have no idea what their time line is going to be.
Patiently waiting as well! I haven’t heard anything and I was one of the first few interviews, hopefully sometime this week!
fingers and toes crossed!
If they just sent you one it’s not too late
thank you for the reply. Do you know if they screen applicants before sending secondaries?
Yes they do so you made it past the screen

What do they use to screen? Is it just that you have the minimum GPA and MCAT they list for the requiremenrs?
They don't specify this for public consumption as far as I know- most schools don't.
Hi, I am almost ready to submit my secondary but want to clarify on one of the promotes;
What percent of your professional time do you anticipate devoting to: 1. Administration 2. Teaching 3. Patient Care 4. Research?
I would like to say 75% patient care and 25% research (I explained why in the prompt) BUT don't all physicians do administrative works (i.e. paperworks, notes ...)? So, I am not sure if I should include administration as part of my percent?

I personally excluded any options that I wasn't passionate about. I think I said some combination of Patient Care and Teaching, and gave examples of EC's I did that showed why those two things are really important for me. (I ended up getting an II here)

My line of thinking is anything except a rejection email is a good sign.
For me it was 1 week, but that was back in August
