Had my interview yesterday!! It was mostly conversational and related to my application. However, the interviewer did ask me to analyze an ethical dilemma I had encountered.

Just got the R, but I must say that was the nicest rejection email I’ve received so far

Does it say anything on your portal for application status?

My portal status says “Regretfully, we are unable to offer you an interview” but I received an email.

I am sorry 🙁. When were you complete?

Thanks! I was complete 7/15

I wish all other schools will tell us this early about getting rejected instead of simply ghosting us

I can't believe they rejected you. I would lowkey beg you to come to my school if I owned a medical school, lol.

 

[lela013]

Current MAMS students or alumni, what’s your status? II? R? Radio silence like me?

7/16! And thanks, I was actually low key kind of stoked to just start hearing from schools.

Not MAMS, but MS alumnus and reapplicant. My friend in MAMS get her II last year in November. I got an II in the last week of interviews in mid-January. Be patient, it's still really early.

I applied to a lot of schools. I don't want to list the exact number because I don't want to scare anyone. I applied to a lot because of my low ugrad GPA, and because of that I got screened out of a lot of schools. Surprisingly, DO schools have pretty strict GPA cutoffs and don't have a truly holistic view of GPA trends. 3 are pre-sec Rs from DO schools. 4 are pre-sec Rs from MD schools. and 2 are pre-II Rs.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

 

[NaKATPase413]

Any new II's or R's? Also, I noticed that BU specified two waves of interviews. The first is September to November. However, does this mean that first wave interview invites would stop going out around mid October?

I got an II yesterday! I’m also confused about the two waves of interviews. They call it 2 “rounds” - please tell me that doesn’t mean we have to interview twice??? lol

 

[greenrain]

No. From what I know, BU has two "selection meetings", one in November and one in February. In these meetings they go through the applications + interview reports and make decisions, so their decisions are released in two touchpoints.

no, just one interview.
BU will take a pause in inviting people for interviews while they review their first set, then send out more about a month later. Their site says they interview Sept to Feb.

 

[deleted1111654]

Has anyone received any R’s?

 

[wysdoc]

look one page back, the R's have begun.

Had my interview here earlier this week...was so conversational and fun! not stressful at all, basic questions about my application (open-file)

 

[Morningnight]

II yday night, ORM LM 77, extremely high research, not really that much service to the underserved, just 2 activities. one abroad that was a month long and another in the US that was 6 months long, so kind of surprised I got one. I heard this school loves service.

Time to mention your dedication to service sometime during your interview 🙂

 

[DoctorFate]

haha, always love doing that. I told a school Monday that would love to go there because of its small class size and then told a school Tuesday that I'd love to go because of its very large class size.

7/27 for those of you who have interviewed, did y’all get a confirmation email about the interview itself? I’ve only revived confirmation about the prior info sessions.

I received a confirmation for the interview itself the next day with the email subject "Boston University School of Medicine; Interview Confirmation". And then it seems like they send out a reminder about a week ahead of time.

Great thank you so much! I was worried since I revived the other emails but not for the interview itself. It seems they send them out the next day.

 

[UTSWGradMD26]

How do we know if there is an information session before/after our interview? I saw that it may not be available on each of those dates.
