Members don't see this ad.

Would either starting a new MCAT tutoring gig/starting a full time job in a medical office count as “significant?” They se both just beginning

I would say so.

 

[prototypeblitz]

I would say so.

Do you think it would be a good idea to frame this update in the form of a letter of interest?

Not sure what the consensus is on when to send letters of interest tbh

 

[gemini97]

Can I send an update here prior to getting an interview? I haven't gotten an interview or anything yet, but I've gotten a new job and have a particular interest in a program the med school offers.

I did that back in Sept and got an II a few days after sending it - YMMV but it seems like it doesn't hurt

 

[biff_webster16]

Congrats. And you are awesome. You know exactly what all stats others are looking for. Good luck with your interview.

Do we know when we can expect decisions post II?

During the interview they said 6-8 weeks, and I ended up receiving a decision just over 6 weeks post-interview 🙂

Cool thanks! I’m closing in on 8 weeks so getting kinda anxious now lol

Cool thanks! I’m closing in on 8 weeks so getting kinda anxious now lol

Yep I’m at 7 as of today lol

 

[cachapa]

I feel like I'm stuck in a vicious cycle of:

• Maybe they're just behind on admissions decisions
• Maybe people got in but just aren't posting here
• Did I miss the phone call?
• Nah I probably got rejected

 

[Rusino]

Yep I’m at 7 as of today lol

I think it is somewhat random. I got in one day past the 6 week mark.

are people uploading thank you letters to the applicant portal or just emailing the admissions office? most schools have a specific "thank you" option in the document upload but rochester doesn't so i was curious what people were doing

I think in the portal there was info for specific contact (email addresses) of our interviewers, and I just emailed them directly!

Interviewed on 9/16 and am considering sending in an update letter. Does anybody think it's worth it to do so? Or should I just wait since decisions are (hopefully) right around the corner?

 

[doglover9]

WL 🙁 interviewed 10/5 or something I can’t remember

+1 interviewed 9/16

 

[GameOfZones]

WL interviewed 9/16. Third post-II waitlist smh.

 

[r2med]

WL interviewed 10/1

 

[GameOfZones]

Does anyone know how many they take off the WL? I would check MSAR but my subscription expired and I'm hoping i won't need to buy it again (fingers crossed!). Anyone still have an active subscription?

 

[GameOfZones]

350 on WL, they take 30 from WL

Thanks! But ugh those aren’t great odds at all 🙁

 

[r2med]

Thanks! But ugh those aren’t great odds at all 🙁

30/350 is what MSAR says, but that is in a "typical" cycle. Who knows what's gonna happen this cycle?

 

[nyc1524]

Congrats! Do you mind sharing your complete date? Thanks!

7/13

 

[nyc1524]

congrats!! do you mind sharing what dates were available?

Early December through Feb. one every week or so 🙂

 

[averyfatdumpling]

Is anyone here an international applicant? I know the seats are super limited for internationals, so I just want to know whether I can still be hopeful for this cycle

I am! I think there's actually only one seat available for international students (through the Levitan scholarship), so it's definitely a long shot. I still haven't heard anything for Rochester, so I have no idea where they are in the process. I hope this cycle works out for us international students 🙂
