It was really relaxed. Both of my interviewers were really friendly and mainly just asked me things about my app and to get to know me better. The information session was brief as well but helpful enough to get to know the big things. If I had to rate it would be like a 2 or 3 out of 10 on a stress scale.

[Hopeful_MD_Cat_Mom]

Is there a way to see your secondary essays somewhere on their portal? I'm trying to remember what I wrote before my interview next week lmao

 

[yuhh]

You'll get automatically sent into the interviews. You just need to use the one zoom link they sent you and they'll handle it from there.

 

[educatedguesser100]

has anyone been waitlisted yet?

Impatiently waiting for Dec 1 when they start re-reviewing hold applicants. I sent an update earlier this month and have nothing else... don't know what else I can do before Dec 1? Is letter of intent a good idea?

 

[Haikyuu]

Congratulations! What were your stats if you don’t mind me asking?

 

[Futuredoc2226]

Has anyone else who was put on hold given an II?

 

[Julatteluver]

Has anyone else who was put on hold given an II?

theoretically, they don't go back to apps on hold til after thanksgiving, so I guess not? Hopefully they send IIs in december though! I'd love to get some in-state love from somewhere :'(

 

[fianchetto_]

Hey guys, how was the MD interviews here? And when did everyone hear back post-II? 🙂

My interview was really relaxed and conversational. Mostly talked about my activities and stuff. They said we should hear back within around a month.

How do you upload/send application updates here? I wasn't sure if you just upload it to the portal or you send it in an email. I couldn't find this info elsewhere.

 

[stressedout1234]

How did it show up on the portal for you? If it doesn't say accepted, does this mean I was rejected?

i uploaded my application update to the portal and sent an email to the admissions email to see if a member could confirm receipt -- they did within 24 hours.

good luck to you!

 

[deleted1034652]

has anyone received their acceptance packet in the mail yet?

I have not, anyone else?

 

[Futuredrmd]

I have not, anyone else?

I haven’t either. Were we just supposed to accept and then pay the deposit? Is there anything else we should be doing?

 

[paul30]

Ayyy that re-review date coming up peeps

 

[djc560]

Im not sure to be honest, sorry! I saw on some WL threads that they do, but maybe it's post-II LOI? Can anyone else confirm?

There should be an 'upload documents' tab in the first page after you log in.

Also, it seems that I'm getting a mix of answers... is the interview open, partially open, or closed file? Some said closed file but then others mentioned how interviewers asked about their apps...

 

[mdapplicant1029]

Just got hit with the pre-II R. I was complete on 10/8, IS

Good luck to everyone else!

Sorry to hear that. Were you on hold prior to the R ?

 

[mdapplicant1029]

Sorry to hear that. Were you on hold prior to the R ?

Nope, no hold

 

[beethoven123]

Did anyone else just get a hold email? The portal showed me as on Hold several weeks ago, so this is the first time I'm getting a response from them.

 

[prettypremed12]

I just got the on hold e-mail today pre-II. Complete 11/25. Clearly a late applicant etc

 

[fianchetto_]

For those of you who received a hold email recently, did it mention a date for re-review? I was placed on hold like two months back and it said I would be re-reviewed after 12/1 (which is today), hence why I ask.

yep it said that it'd be re-reviewed. However, I was also put on hold to be re-reviewed 12/1 but I got an interview late October.

Here's what they said in the email that went out today

"Your application will be reviewed again once the entire applicant pool has been reviewed. The re-review process does not begin until AFTER December 1st."

yup i got that email!

12/1 i submitted my secondary and emailed my FAP approval to the [email protected] email. However, my portal does not say complete as they have not given the received dates for my secondary app and fee..
