They didn’t add any updates today to the tracker!! So that’s hopeful for us that are waiting on As. Hang in there!
Both of mine were open file, and the time depends on how you and your interviewer feel. If both of you get through all your questions, it could be shorter than 50 mins. Or it could be like one of mine and we took 60 and wanted more haha. Either way, my experience (and everyone else's, from what I can tell) is that the interviewers are very conversational. Literally just be yourself and act like you're getting to know a new friend (a new friend that has a particular interest in your medical school journey), that's what it felt like for me. Absolutely wonderful experience, I definitely over-prepared. Best of luck!Are the interviews open-file? Also, are they really 50 minutes long? Any last-minute advice would be appreciated!

I also got the call last Thursday! So excitedGOT THE A! Literally shaking!!!!!!!!
I think admissions usually create a FB page that they share when they update the entering students webpage. I’m not sure about a Groupme. If you find one or make one, I’d love to be added.Is there an accepted FB page or GroupMe? Btw they updated the entering class statistics page!
Received post interview rejection as well. Interviewed Oct 15th. Good luck to everyone!Rejected post interview just now! I’m IS. Interviewed 9/13 and had been on hold since October 15. Great school and one that I would have definitely considered, but in hindsight I probably don’t fit their mission very well
Hi! Sorry for the late reply, I've been trying to not look at SDN and reddit too much because of stress lol. If you haven't already interviewed/haven't received any tips yet feel free to message me!For those that have already interviewed, do you have any tips? How was the interview and the interviewers?

Does open file include everything including grades and MCAT?Reposting what I said earlier in response to a similar question:

I can't say for sure, as they never directly addressed my grades or MCAT (but they definitely had access to the rest of my AMCAS application based on specific questions that were asked). I imagine each experience is going to differ since they have many interviewers. My impression was that my interviewers only had a couple questions they were "required" to ask (standard questions). Everything else was very free-flow and conversational, they absolutely were wonderful people who made me comfortable even when asking tougher questions.Does open file include everything including grades and MCAT?
Both of my interviewers did not have access to my GPA, MCAT, or even where I went to school. They had access to my PS, LORs, activities, and supplemental essay responses.Does open file include everything including grades and MCAT?
Feb 3Do we know when the next committee meeting is?

was she put on active hold before?My friend who is IS just got accepted today!
I don’t think she was! She interviewed around middle/late January last time I remembered.was she put on active hold before?
Ended up declining my interview as I have been accepted to the program I'll likely attend. Good luck to all still waiting!II an hour ago! OOS, but in a state that shares a border. Stats in signature. Don't lose hope! There are definitely a few IIs still floating around out there!
I feel there will be movement in mid April- beginning of may when applicants have to narrow down their acceptancesNot a lot of posts on this thread…anyone heard anything recently??
+1Just received my post II R. Interviewed 3/9.
