What's the lowest MCAT anyone here got who actually received an II or acceptance with, or both?

Earlier this month our dean informed us that it was announced the Harold Alfond Foundation has made a large investment in several Maine Universities and UNE will be receiving a grant to relocate and rebuild our medical school in Portland, ME. It will be brand new and state-of-the-art, there is no timeline on this though (public news, btw).

I found the link to the article on their website. Looks like it's supposed to start around 2022 and complete in 2023 hopefully.

UNE receives $30 million to support quality health care and workforce needs in Maine

I don't have an II so can't speak personally. I recommend going through last year's thread to see if anyone posted their stats in relation to IIs and acceptances. The UNECOM website says their cut-off is a 490, though their accepted class has an average "well above" this figure. They don't list specifics. I know they have regional bias, though I don't know how stringent they are in this regard.

First day of interviews was yesterday! It seems they are sending them out in smaller batches. There were about 25 people interviewed yesterday and about the same are scheduled for tomorrow.

Do you think it is too early to send a letter of interest or do you think you have to wait until they are accepting updates in January?

They just started sending out interview invites. It will probably continue until March or April. No need to panic yet.

Hi everybody! Sorry if this question has been answered—I looked through some of the tread but not all. Am I correct: The fee you pay on AACOMAS when you submit your application to UNECOM is not the secondary application fee?

To add on to RalphwalDOemerson's response, they'll send you another link to pay the secondary fee, eventually. I think most people on here got it like 3 weeks after submitting the primary. And they're rejecting people pre-secondary, so if you don't hear back with the link "quickly," don't worry -no news is good news from them.

I feel like I didn’t even get asked that many questions because it was so conversational there was some about my application, why DO, a social justice question, learning style question
 
Does anyone know the interview to acceptance ratio for this school?
 
II at 13:01 CST today! Complete August 11th, OOS, 507 MCAT, 3.53 GPA. 4000+ Patient Contact Hours, 3000+ Research Hours! Super excited this school is at the top of my list!
