Seems like most of the Pre-IIs right now are from the portal?

Just frantically checking my portal to get that R haha. At this point, no hopes for oct submission like me
 
Caught that swift pre-II August complete R with the rest of the fam this morning. Hurt a little but I’m battle hardened by now and ready for more.
 
Oh ****, we July completes are still in danger
that's honestly cruel, making you think you survived the wave. it seemed pretty clear that they moved on from july to august but i guess not lol
 
Forgot to post on here earlier but I was complete 8/5 and received a II on 11/22. There were only about 5 dates left for the rest of the cycle and I scheduled right after receiving the email. Because Pitt releases decisions in Feb, I think the interview invites are unfortunately almost done but hopefully there are still some more left. Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear!

My stats: 3.75, 518, IS

For those who interviewed already, did we all have a really positive interview experience? Both my interviewers seemed to vibe so well with me and gassed me up quite a bit (which I loved ngl lol), but I'm not sure if the AdCom instructed them to do so for all interviewees.
Had a positive experience too, but neither of my interviewers seemed to hype me up really.
 
what types of things did you ask?
The classics: why they like Pitt as a school, Pittsburgh as a city, being in academic medicine, research opportunities, then when that ran out literally about the weather, food, etc. I was really struggling by the end
 
Sent an update but that still didn’t save me from an R, complete end of August. Good luck everyone still in the game!
 
Pre-II R as well, I'm so glad to finally hear some news. Complete September, LM 77
