Any in state people not gotten an II yet? I submitted my secondary in late July (516,3.8) and think it’s pretty weird I haven’t heard anything back yet. Lots of clinical experience too idk just makes me nervous since Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
Do they need the AAMC SJT to be completed for an interview?
Does it mean they will interview without SJT assuming you registered?
They said in a info session that I went to that they will send you an II before the SJT is complete but you will only be allowed to schedule your interview for a date after your SJT score is back. I believe all SJT exams are done for this year tho.
I got a low sjt and I’m OOS I’m so screwed lol no news on ii yet
They said low SJT won’t affect their decision. They said they ignore it if it’s below a 7 I believe. As for being OOS tho that’s not looking great unless you have significant ties unfortunately 😢

Anyone else interviewed in September and still hasn't heard back? is that normal?
Although they review each and every month of each applicant, this usually is a waitlist I think historically (from SDN data at least from previous threads), but I'm not 100% sure. This is what happened to me last year.
Although there are people who interview and end up hearing 2-3 months after, most people post being accepted immediately after.
I was complete 9/15. It’s a big sticker that says “university of Alabama school of medicine” what am I to do with that if I don’t get in there 😭
I interviewed in August and have heard nothing back yet if that makes you feel better.

Keep it as vintage. They've been renamed Heersink School of Medicine thanks to a 93 million dollar donation.

I got an II today as well, OOS no ties
Did you have any research experience? This is my top school and heard mixed opinions about them looking for students with research.....If anyone has any info about this, that would be awesome!
I interviewed 9/15 (I think that was the date) and haven't heard anything. Same w a friend of mine. Both of us in state and I have research experience (3 poster conferences/presentations, no pubs), I'm sure my friend does too
I’m sorry but I was starting to wonder when the R’s would start again since the were sending so many early on.

I was reading through the threads about the SJT, what exactly is that, I don't remember having to do that. Is it required to apply?
The AAMC's version of Casper. If you took it last year, you don't need to take it again for this cycle(at UAB, not sure about other schools).

Has anyone done an feedback advising session with the UAB adcoms that can give more insight about it?
Yeah, I have. The director of admissions was very friendly and helped me identify areas I needed to improve and areas that were fine.

Did they mostly guide and lead you with all of the suggestions, or did you do most of the talking and bringing up questions and such? Thanks!
He guided the conversation based on notes from my interviewer but also allowed for questions.
