2020-2021 Toledo

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For those of you who've gotten an II (congrats!!!!!!), has it said whether they're doing the usual MMI or doing something different this year?
 
They are doing a Synchronous Virtual MMI. Interview slots are 3.5 hours long. But there is other stuff in there as well besides just the interview. Like an introduction and virtual tour etc
 
My assumption is they are looking at likelihood of attendance for the first round of II. Myself and the others who get them are pretty much guaranteed to go to UTMC if we get the A. And in other interviews we've been through schools have mentioned our ties to Toledo. They'll probably try to quickly fill spots. Not a bad strategy.

Close friend just got the II. They're sending them out. Interview dates are for february. Upon email you'll be requested to select a date and upload a headshot. They want you to schedule the date in 48 hours. They will be opening up new spots on the 15th and 25th of each month. There are two sessions for interviews, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

When you said they’ll be opening new spots on the 15th and 25th of each month, you mean they opening them up for interview spots to be selected? Just wanted to make sure you mean those are the days with the interviews and not the days they’re sending out more II. Congrats!

It's still very early for Toledo. It was just their first wave but if you have updates then send away.

Loads of 'em! Been very busy since July.

Silly question, but does anyone know - do I find a person to address this to, or is it more of a "Dear Admissions Committee" sort of thing?

Even though I’m glad that they started sending interview, I do feel kinda sad thinking all the fun this tread used to have before the II is gone now. It was good while it lasted though. Good luck everyone. Let’s hope all these months of wait will worth it.

How quickly the neuroses of premeds overtook our love of cheese.
 
So only one batch of II's has gone out this week? Any idea when the next batch will be sent out?
 
So does anyone know how many they send per batch? and how many batches they gonna send?

The 15 and 25 are the days new days are available to select for an interview if you were offered an II
 
For those of you who received an II, is the MMI the only form of interview that Toledo is utilizing? I've read that they have some informational sessions as well, but are there group or one-on-one interviews incorporated into the day as well?

Based on email and secondary portal, only MMI (two hour session)

I may be obsessively refreshing my email every 30 seconds or so. Anyone have good tips for distraction?

(I have class/work, but that ain't doin' it, haha.)

iPhone games and listening to ambiance lowfi music has been keeping my brain turned off while at work or relaxing. Wouldn’t want a stray thought to cross my mind now would we?

Oh, no, I had stoped for quite some time, but this "Toledo is sending IIs!" situation got me all riled up again. 🤣

Get email notifications so you don't have to refresh. Video games? I know it's hard though when it's literally only our future that's at stake.

hahaha ikr. tbf it’s the only in-state DO school so my chances were higher than any other school i applied to

No no I felt the same way about my state DO school that’s legit 40 mins away. I was optimistic that at the very least THEY were gonna respond to me but they really humbled my ass 😂 I could really cry if I didn’t get an A somewhere else. It’s a huge gamble still so that’s amazing you made it all the way through, and early!

His stat is well above DO average. I think that helped as well.

Join the Genshin Impact club, you'll be so distracted that all other responsibilities start circling the drain :welcome:

With the way Toledo is handling their interviews, you might not need an alum letter to have a chance of getting in. 😉

Your mouth to God's ears, lol

Thanks for the distraction suggestions, peeps. Let's see if I can transfer that email obsession over to something healthier, like video games. 😂
