II today, IS with ties to school, complete 07/09

Congrats!!! What were your stats?

 

[theonezepphyr]

Were they this silent when you applied? 🤣 Not even a “your application is complete” email…

Yeah, they are a pretty quiet school in general so don’t feel discouraged by that. I never got any emails from them until the interview invite. It’s a little frustrating.

Are the prompts the same as last year? Would anyone be willing to post them? Thanks!

1. Highlight your experiences in the health care field. What insights have you gained about potential problems you will face as a physician?

2. How will the University of Connecticut School of Medicine best serve your needs of becoming a physician or physician scientist?

3. Please take a moment to explain how the COVID-19 pandemic directly and personally affected you as it pertains to preparing for medical school. (e.g. MCAT test date delay, financial impact, research/clinical experiences, self-quarantine, etc.).

520/3.6!

 

[sa242]

hey everyone, I didn't know that the portal had a deadline of 1 month for submission and I missed it due to extenuating circumstances (personal illness + dealing with multiple deaths in my circle right now, just kind of sad nowadays). anyone know if it's worth contacting them for an extension to reopen my app or if it's a lost cause?

The worst they can say is no🤷‍♀️ worth a shot!

 

[gogomed0000]

Dang was the rollout of IIs this slow last year? I've seen a few here but not as many as I would expect at this stage in the game?

 

[Moosers]

All the Connecticut schools seem to be very slow this cycle...

 

[mirabee]

Anyone think we will hear back tomorrow?

I really really hope so but if I had to guess I’d say prob Monday or Tuesday. Last couple of years the first round of decisions went out on 10/19 and 10/18. Hope it’s tomorrow though lol

I am so, so sorry -- lots of hugs for you <3 let yourself be sad for a little while and then dust yourself off. You're going to be a great physician one day 🙂

 

[supermelon]

got the acceptance email at 12:45 EST today! Beyond excited and grateful !!!

Ugh, I'm so so sorry! This is a small bump in the road and you're allowed to be sad about it but you will be a doctor! (and a great one too!!!!)

Complete: 07/09,
II: 08/27,
IA: 09/10,
A: 10/15.

Got the email around noon and spent 3 hours crying (and re-reading it to make sure I'm not hallucinating 😳)

 

[bluenette23]

Got the A yesterday (10/15) around 1:30PM! Interviewed 10/1, in-state. Was not expecting to hear today... this is such a relief. I have been re-reading the email for the past 24 hours. Ahhh!!

Have you been able to pay the deposit? Mine says something along the lines of no term available for deposit or something like that...

 

[medwannabe350]

Got the A on Friday around 1:30pm. Secondary submitted 8/25, interviewed 10/1. 😀

3.57, 511, 4 gap years of clinical research

Has anyone accepted not received their NetID for the deposit? Called the IT help desk this AM and they said to give it another day or so

 

[pdog20]

Can anyone comment on how the interview was? Was it with faculty? How long? How was the intensity of questions?

There’s two 50 min interviews, one with a faculty/an adcom and the other with a student. Both of mine were very casual, especially the one with the adcom. We just talked about different aspects of my applications and my interests and what not. Nothing stressful at all!

Thanks for sharing! Do they let you know in advance who your faculty and student interviewer is?

Yes! I found out two days in advance.

 

[bluenette23]

I got the email with my NetID the other day and paid my deposit. And personally, I felt like my faculty interview was a pressure-interview, so I think the interview style varies based on interviewer.

 

[pdog20]

Was the interview tough for this school?

 

[mm_premedstudent]

Any OOS applicants receive an II yet?

Anyone that submitted mid September OOS get an II yet or a R?

 

[jh613]

Post interview R this morning while getting dressed for another schools interview…brutal timing. IS, Interviewed 10/15, felt like it went great. Obviously some reflection to do, but not today.
