Like the other people said they did stress how much they like handwritten thank you notes. However, I don't think it's completely necessary to write one even though it's a nice gesture. I don't think the notes affect how you'll be graded and I was accepted without writing one even with below average stats. It's really just a matter of personal preference.
I agree with both comments. It’s nice but won’t affect your chances in any way.
I got an acceptance letter in the mail a month or so after I was accepted. Aside from that, everything has been online.
FYI, I interviewed today and the admissions dean told us that they will be interviewing into April. They said that right now they are two months behind the cycle timeline and are still in the December equivalent of a regular cycle. So for those still waiting, keep your head up.
+1, updated late October. OOS. LOVE this school and would give anything to get an IISame. Complete early August, updated early January. Nothing here.
same thing happened to me! yes, you should be fine
They are rather strict about using Windows. I think it will work but the prompts and teams won't automatically pop up. You can always partition your drive and install and boot into windows just to be safe
Likewise! Hoping for good news for all of us!+1, updated late October. OOS. LOVE this school and would give anything to get an II
I have. Having below average stats for the school isn't a death sentence as long as you have other good activities and show your passion in your writing.
Yeah you're right shouldn't risk it
I’m not sure why Cincinnati over-complicates its virtual interview format. You need Windows, system test runs, clearing cookies and caches, etc. Many other schools have a rather seamless video platform. I hope they work on this in the future.
Yeah, their reason is that the MMI works “better” in their system (and their system requires a windows computer) but all my other MMIs have been on zoom and they were just fine.
Me too! Just be sure to read @starbucks1992 post from Nov 27.+1, updated late October. OOS. LOVE this school and would give anything to get an II
Yeah not sure, I will say it did work rather seamlessly and I got the full time per MMI. Other MMIs I did we were moved individually from room to room so sometimes I would get moved too early or too late and lose ~30 seconds. Not sure if benefits outweigh the costs here but I had no issues apart from having to 2 factor back into every single website I use since cookies were cleared. Though, I still need to return this webcam I bought for my PC lol
I was right, just accepted via phone call! Interview 1/19
I interviewed 1/26
what exactly do you mean by its culture? or what aspects of its culture do you like so much? genuinely curious!
I’m from Southern IN and visit Cinci often. In my secondary essays I mentioned loving the city, specifically the Cincinnati Art Museum and the food, and that I would have familial support nearby during med school. Also said I’d be proud to go to this school and be a part of its strong history of training great clinicians.
Wait they do multiple second looks?
Once per week for the next month or two with different themes
I specifically asked admin about using a Chromebook and they said 'no'.
I used a chromebook and it worked out just fine for me!
I think they have different groups interviewing at the same time because my portal said 'PM interview group 'A and it began around noon EST and ended around 5pm after watching some recorded presentations
thanks! mine starts from 7.45am so i guess it should end at 1ish
best of luck! you got this!
I got one also with average stats. Its not a mistake!! you rock.
Nice! IS or OOS ?
