Are they waiting to send out R's for students who have heard anything since secondaries? Or do we continue waiting?

I mean there's a lot going on that we don't know about. They started considerably later than other schools and it doesn't seem like that much II movement has happened (although not everyone posts/uses SDN). I'd want to say there's a shot of decent II movement happening, although this is just pure speculation.

Just got an II here! Pleasantly surprised, was complete in early October. Does anyone know if IIs here on are for the waitlist or is there a viable shot at getting accepted?

Yeah. If you read the email for their secondary invitation, they say something like "Based on an initial review of your AMCAS application, we are sending you a secondary"

They definitely screen pre-secondary. This thread is filled with examples, just go back a few pages.

Has anyone who completed their application past 10/31 received an II? Does the completed date even matter at this point?

Anyone know if it’s worth emailing if it’s been radio silence? I’ve been complete since 10/1 and I’m an IE resident so was really hoping for and interview but have heard literally
Nothing

+1. Unless no one who applied and got an II is posting, it seems like they are moving slower this year, especially after the technical issues they had last year. Let us know if you do end up emailing them.

I'm IE as well. I emailed them a few weeks back and apparently their final decisions on IIs will be made in late March.

...which is soon. I'm concerned that I'm wiped out -_-.

Maybe they had another technical issue causing them to delay II invites... trying to convince myself of that anyways lol.

I would recommend sending an update through the portal. I received an II the day after submitting mine back in January--was also complete in early Sept. Good luck friend!

The way I presented mine for the schools I updated:
Dear SOM,
1. this is what I've been up to since submitting (only briefly comment on stuff already mentioned in AMCAS, activities can be the same but focus on new and specific experiences from those activities if that's the case)
2. this is why these new experiences are important to my medical school journey
3. Here's how my experiences are something to be desired at your school (and why I love your school for my personal mission and goals!).
Signed, Me

I did my best to keep all my updates under one page. Whatever works best for you is great, but stick to stuff that gets you excited. It will come through in your writing! :)
Also sorry for not including my stats @gm7334 :
BCPM GPA: 3.62
AO GPA: 3.97
Cum GPA: 3.74
MCAT 1: C/P 130, CARS 125, BB 129, P/S 126

Have any accepted students heard back from the financial aid office regarding scholarships/grants? If so, are you a Haider applicant?
 
Anyone receive rejection post-seocndary?

I think with covid I doubt they are even behind though. Zoom interview allow school to squeeze in more people per interview date but yea im still holding onto a small glimpse of hope haha

so if i haven’t heard anything, is it safe to assume i’m rejected?
 
Did anyone this year receive the pre-II hold email like UCR sent out mid-Fed last year? I never ended up receiving an official R letter last year, but have gotten literally zippo since submitting my secondary this year. 😢 Speculation aside, it would be so great if they generally let us know at least where they are because the silence really takes a toll on you.
