Do yall think research is an absolute must to get an Interview. I completed my secondary on July 14th and have a 3.8 516 (but zero research) idk I figured i wouldve heard at least something by now. Should I just assume this is a soft R
 
I only had like 100 hrs and they were fine with that. I know it is something that UAB weights heavily, and there are only two interview dates left to go, I think 2/3 and 2/17. But it's not over until it's over

Hi! I received an interview invite today for the Primary Care Track! Does anyone have any tips for the upcoming interview, specifically for PCT? Thanks!

I’m not sure on this, but I will say if it’s an R they do give feedback on why you got the R so that’s good if you need to reapply.
 
I think it’s interesting that they haven’t sent out more R’s lately. Per my advisor and old threads UAB usually isn’t afraid to have waves of R’s throughout the cycle and this year it seems they only did that early on. Not hoping for an R but the silence is killing me 😭

They already have 150ish members that are in the entering class starting this fall on FB, and that's for the people that do have Facebook.

I got an II on Sunday morning (IS 516, 3.8 Zero Research oops), submitted 7/24 (finally holy crap). I was only allowed to book the interview for the final interview day of the season (next week). Does this mean they are just interviewing me to slap me on the waitlist for their class size yield protection? Or do i actually have a decent shot at being accepted this late?

+1 but complete 10/9 and OOS.

I sent an update letter around 1/12
 
I've had dead silence since I interviewed in September and I think it went well. Anyone else in a similar boat and know if we're screwed or if they're just being slow?

are you allowed to bring pen / paper to mmi?

Ive never been on an MMI where that was allowed. I've always been told to use the Chat box as a note-taking medium.

They told the 2/3 interviewees that they wouldn't be reviewed until 3/10. Today, I suspect they will be reviewing through the 1/20 interview day applicants.

Per their last update on Twitter on January 27:

“Adcom met today and we are doing our favorite thing - making acceptance phone calls! Most interviewees from 1/13 and prior have been reviewed. Next adcom is 2/17.”
 
If we interviewed in Sept and haven't heard anything yet, is it time to give up on this cycle?
 
Got the A yesterday afternoon!! interviewed 9/15 so if you interviewed that early like me and still havent heard, theres still a chance!

So should Feb 17 interviewees expect to hear back tomorrow or the 25? I remember at the end of the interview they said they'll try to get us on the 10th but some spillover could have to wait until the 25th? Is it yall's experience they were consistent with dates?

interviewed in August and haven't heard anything since. had a few questions:
1. when is the next committee meeting?
2. when do the make the last wave of acceptances before waitlisting or rejecting interviewees?
3. when do they notify interviewees of waitlist or rejection status?
 
Final Adcom meetings are March 10th and March 24th

Reference: https://twitter.com/uabmedadmission

it looks like all interviewees from Aug-Dec have been discussed. So it looks like if you werent in the initial batch that received As from each meeting, youll have to wait till the end to get WL or R.

That being said the Twitter just posted this “Adcom met today and we are starting to make offers. We have reviewed most interviewees from the cycle. We have a few more to discuss on March 24th.” Does that mean they’re calling now, at 5pm? They posted this at 4:53. I’m assuming they just mean they’ll call tomorrow

Ugh! The anxiety is killing me!

I called the admissions office and asked if Feb 17 interviewees were being considered for admissions and she said that “I know some are but they are behind so if you don’t hear anything today that means they haven’t gotten to you yet”
