I got these questions too!! Very confused. I got my secondary 10/3.
Hm, that makes sense but seems to give a bit of unfair advantage to applicants who applied early, and I am writing this as someone who applied early and got an II.
This is as neurotic a response only SDN could come up with
The faculty interview was completely open file (everything from AMCAS application) while the current medical student only had access to your personal statement and experiences. This was the protocol for my EDP interview, so I'm not sure if it's the same now!
I am high stat - 522/3.91, but please do not let stats define you! The admission process is holistic and I am sure you are fantastic. Invites just take time.
I believe it is on the portal, after you sign the NDA you have the option to check the agenda on the portal. You should have a web interview tab that appears and after you sign that your schedule should pop up along with the interview start time and the people interviewing you.
Follow up Question: It says there will be 5 MMI's and two one on one interviews, but all of the interviews on my page are only 9 mins apart, aside from the first one starting at 1pm. Is this how everyone's page looks?
Super chill and they were really good about fixing technical issues right away. I was actually pretty impressed! Definitely my top choice, so hoping to hear good news from them in the foreseeable future.
The schedule will show up in your applicant portal once you fill out the NDA and stuff (New tab called "Web Interview"). Session C starts at 12:30pm. An admissions person will do a little overview of how to get to your interviews and navigate the portal and they will send a zoom link for this the day before the interview. Actual interviews start at 1pm and go to ~3:10pm then the admissions person will give you an opportunity to ask any residual questions. Overall very informal for the info session at beginning and end. They said they will release admissions decisions within 4-6 weeks and will be releasing more Rs then previous years (used to put all interviewees on WL, now will be a much smaller WL).
I would assume it starts with an info session at 8:30 and the interviews at 9, at least that would be consistent with the timing!
Are you referring to Gal_from_Gallifrey ?
Lol yeah, thanks. Law of pragnanz
According to someone earlier in the thread who attended an info session, they plan to give out 1200-1500 interviews instead of the typical 1000. This is likely since virtual interviews make it easier for them to evaluate more candidates in a given time and to accommodate for the ~17% influx of applicants(who applied this cycle (per AAMC).
I guess I missed my chance, thank you!
Don’t know what to make of it. On one hand the have most of their applicant pool by now so they could have it somewhat figured out who they want by now (which is why many at once) On the other hand, that does overload their system
In an admissions seminar in August they said they want to send out 1000-1500 IIs this cycle... Increasing those numbers due to covid
Honestly? They probably just got bored of reading 8000 of the same responses. This year they switched prompts anyway. Maybe they realized they picked crappy prompts hahah
I wonder if you accidentally got sent last year’s prompts (this was an issue earlier in the cycle).
No, these are different from last year:
