Stardew valley is truly addicting. 11/10 would recommend.
I guess as we’re sharing recs to pass time I’ll add don’t starve together to the mix.
Also I wonder if adcoms read this thread, they must be wondering wtf is our incoming class doing talking about Sims 4 and beer instead of getting in

Hey, over on the Toledo thread we have a page or two dedicated to favorite cheeses.

 

[Fencing Doctor 319]

Did your II give you a date/time?

Yes. They conduct a separate "welcome session" prior to the actual interview. I registered for the welcome session and separately confirmed my interview date and time.

 

[Fencing Doctor 319]

Congrats!!!! Do you mind sharing any stats or compete date?

Do you mind a PM? Can't seem to access your profile. If you PM me, I will respond.

Is there a good chance that if you interview here you’ll get accepted? I’m still a bit nervous

 

[Racerr]

Complete in late July and haven't heard anything. Sad boy hours

Flex aside, it appears that, at least statistically (see above), about 3/4 of interviewees are accepted. Not sure how COVID impacts this, e.g., increased interviews. Also, curious as to how soon after interviewing the school notifies. Anyone who already interviewed have info on this?

 

[docrocket]

Interviewed this week.....super relaxed and lucky that the interview was very conversational. No hard questions, no ethics questions. They just asked about the interesting parts of my app and how I would incorporate OMT in my future practice. Compared to my other interviews, UNE by far had the friendliest cohort of student reps and faculty interviewers.

Their goal is to get their decision to us 4-5 weeks after the interview. I would expect maybe 5-6 weeks just to account for the pandemic and all the extra work adcoms have been tasked with.

does anyone know if the school accepts pre-II nonacademic updates?

 

[Fencing Doctor 319]

does anyone know if the school accepts pre-II nonacademic updates?

I believe, per the school’s website, that only academic updates are accepted prior to January 2021. There may, however, be exceptions to this policy if submitted in close anticipation of an interview. I would just ask. Admissions has been very responsive.

ah no flex intended. This school has been my top school since before I was applying. I’d be going here if I get in due and I plan on targeting residencies in NE so I’m a bit nervous about this interview in particular

II just now! Complete 9/9 super excited except the email doesn't give me a time/date for the interview but asks me to confirm it.. has this happened to anyone else?

Hi, I had that problem too! I emailed [email protected] and they told me that they had a glitch in their system when sending them out. They then resent me the invitation with the time and date. I hope this helps!

Oct 13 & no

II (got it last Friday). So excited!!

 

[asdfghjklmed]

Have they started sending out pre-II rejections yet?

 

[medstudent104]

My bad, changed my settings, but sent you a message!

Hi, can you share your stats / info with me as well? Thank you

 

[cali-native86]

Have they started sending out pre-II rejections yet?

I don't think anyone on this thread has reported getting rejected pre-II yet. I've been complete since around mid August and nothing but I am not that surprised given I have zero ties to Maine or New England or even the East Coast for that matter lol

I think the only rejections have been from unsatisfactory pre-requisites

Sure, I just PMed you

 

[catlover2715]

is it too late to send a primary to this school? LM: 61, strong EC/personal story

 

[chlbimaru]

does anyone know if the school accepts pre-II nonacademic updates?

I emailed them and their response was that they don't take nonacademic updates until January 2021! Prior to that, you can send your updated transcript to AACOMAS and then they'll get the updated grades

If money is not a concern, then just go for it. Hope for the best but don't expect anything. A lot of people here have been complete for months and have stellar ECs and solid essays and still haven't heard anything.

 

[sussieQ2005]

Hi everyone, has anyone been accepted yet? If so what was the turn around time between interviewing and hearing the good news? (Also congrats!)

 

[diligent_salt]

Just received an acceptance a few minutes ago via email. I interviewed 10/15!

HUGE DEAL! Congrats! Do you mind sharing what your interview was like/how long it was/ how many people interviewed you?

Thank you! The interview is 3 interviewers (a student, a DO, and a faculty member) and it lasted about 30 minutes. I would describe it as conversational, though it's always a little more stilted when it's three-on-one, in my opinion. They took turns asking questions, some about my application and some more that were a little more abstract. UNE emphasized throughout the process that they wanted the interview to be laid back, and that is the impression I got personally.

Accepted today. Interviewed 10/15. I'm turning it down so hopefully my spot goes to an awesome aspiring physician. Good luck everyone! This seemed like a great school.

[solotravelingpremed]

Complete 7/1; haven't heard a thing. Don't stress - It's early and there have been quite a few curveballs this cycle already.

 

[DReamer9000]

Anyone with a <505 MCAT get accepted?

 

[bluelily]

Anyone with a QUOTE]

Yes - not sure the lowest but it’s definitely not just about stats with UNE.

Hi Hi! I am scheduled for an AM interview, but was wondering what time the PM interview starts? I have been taking a lot of time off work for interviews and I was hoping that one might start closer to the end of my work day

interviews are from 10-4:45 I think? 30 min sessions

 

[olivejuni]

It seems like a lot of people who have interviewed so far have been accepted. Has anyone who has interviewed been rejected so far?

 

[ek_5.17]

Hi all! I'm excited to interview here this coming week. Does anyone know how long accepted applicants have after an acceptance to take the spot or reject? Also, does anyone know what the deposit is like to secure a spot? Thanks!

 

[CricB4Tube]

Hi all! I'm excited to interview here this coming week. Does anyone know how long accepted applicants have after an acceptance to take the spot or reject? Also, does anyone know what the deposit is like to secure a spot? Thanks!

Deposit is a total of $2,000. My letter states I need to pay a non-refundable deposit of $500 by December 14 to secure my spot and then another deposit of $1,500 within 60 days of the initial deposit. The $1,500 deposit is refundable until May 1, 2021.
I've been told osteopathic schools have killer deposits and it seems true. My 3 MD acceptances all have refundable $100 deposits.

Hey everyone! My interview is scheduled for 2:10 tomorrow. The email says it goes on all day but doesn’t give a schedule. Can anyone who has interviewed give me some more insight on this?
