Does anyone know how formal the passport photo for the agreement needs to be?
complete since 8/17 and no communication :/ does anyone know if this means anythingggg
I've been complete since early August, but I'm also OOS. Not many OOS II have gone out yet according to the thread. I wouldn't worry yet.
also OOS, so thank you for that, appreciate you!!!
yes, I completed it before hand

quick question: part of me feels uncertain about the picture I submitted for the passport photo (slight shadow in the background, did not notice until after submission), do you think it's worth emailing the admissions committee just to confirm if it's substantial?

Yes, the email will open with "We have received your Virtual Interview Agreement and digital photo" you interview is scheduled blah blah blah
I feel like they aren’t going to be very strict about the photos. Yours is probably fine but if it makes you feel better to ask them just to be sure it can’t hurt
Kinda wondering this too. I'm still reading my interview prep book and putting together some responses to have ready to pull from. I believe the VITA email will go out 8am EST tomorrow, but my goal is to complete it by middle of next week, at the latest.

I believe the AAMC recommends at least 2 weeks from when you get the VITA email, but I don't think there's a hard deadline unless a school says so
Anyone else checking their email neurotically today? [emoji28]
Update: JUST GOT THE ACCEPTANCE EMAIL [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]
Accepted today, OOS interviewed 10/20.
I'll be turning down my acceptance since I already got into my top choice school. Hope my spot goes to an awesome aspiring physician like one of you. Good luck everyone and I hope to work with you one day as fellow doctors!

You truly have the best "How it started" v "How it ended" meme with your back to back posts today. Congrats!
Thank you so much friend! Many tears were shed today LOL. Sending you and everyone else on this thread all of the positivity!![emoji4]
Yeah, Interviewed 10/7 as well

Omg I was freaking out cus I thought I was the only one, so glad both of you posted because this is a little reassuring. I interviewed 10/6 and haven’t heard anything
Did you send an update letter after your interview?

Does anyone know when/if we will find out who we will do the 2 individual interviews with?
I did not, but I sent thank you emails right after!
I found out literally as I was put into the interview room lol, they didn’t tell me any names beforehand.
Mine was open file and it really just depends on the question regarding the specific experience. My strategy may be controversial but I did not read over my application at all before the interview. So when questions came up about my personal statement/experiences, my answers were very fluid and it let me think about those experiences from a 'right now' perspective rather than a 'make it sound great for the application' perspective. I also tried to focus on how the experience helped me grow as a person (learned specific teamwork/leadership skill) and then how I would try to apply that lesson or skill in med school and as a physician.
I think interviews are more about showing your maturity and ability to talk to other people rather than just being a socially awkward 4.0 robot that can write a fluffy paragraph.
I actually agree with your controversial strat. At my first ever interview, I had reviewed my app just beforehand and I got caught up in some of the things I had written there and because I was so nervous, I had trouble expanding to the "right now perspective" as you said. In my second interview, I did not review my app and I had a great flow.
It depends on the person, I'm sure, but I wanted to add to your anecdote!

Yes, it is the same. The link takes you to the Director of Admissions, Director of Financial Services, and the Medical student panel that each give a short 30 min presentation and let you ask any questions. They will then place you in breakout rooms with your individual interviewers.
Thank you so much!

I don't think so. It's a long process and my guess is that they'll be doing interviews until March so there's still plenty time.
I was complete in August and definitely been feeling the silent R scare
Congrats! Mind sharing when exactly you were complete? I'm also OOS, submited 9/18 and haven't heard back since then.

I sent mine a couple of weeks before I got the interview invite. Some people suggest waiting after you complete your interview but it is definitely up to you!
Hey friends.
I'm a little confused. I received an email at 7:30 this morning from Boonshoft titled, "Boonshoft SOM Interview Information." Is this an II? Or does everyone receive one of these? The other II that I received started with, "Congratulations, we want to interview you... blah blah blah." But this one just starts rambling off requirements to complete the interview. Can't schedule any dates, so I don't know if I should be excited... I have not completed VITA.

Got the same thing last night! I'm pretty sure it's an II. I agree its a weird way to send an II
when were you complete?
