For anyone that had issues scheduling your interview date recently, it should work now. I was able to schedule mine before
 
anyone else who interviewed 10/04 having portal show

Admissions Committee Scheduled​


I thought we were supposed to hear back today; shouldn't the admissions committee have already convened?

Alternate list via portal (no email). Ah well.

i’m super surprised you didn’t get accepted.
I was looking at the thread for last year and it seemed like mid stat applicants don’t get accepted in the beginning, but higher stat ones do

They told us during the interview day that they were going to use the alternate list aggressively and to not be surprised/discouraged if we were given that decision. They pull a large portion of their matriculants off the alternate list. Admittedly, I have quite a few interviews so maybe they assume I would go elsewhere.

Small schools do this. Nova MD also does the same, accepts very few people early on but has significant WL movement

Congratulations! can you share your stats? also, what do you think you did differently that helped your acceptance? what was your portal status today?

Sure! LizzyM of 70.5, 2nd quartile casper and IS. What I think helped me the most was getting a full time job working in the hospital after I graduated, I had clinical experience but working full time in my gap year really gave me the chance to solidify why exactly I want to be a physician. The portal status didn't change from "Admissions Committee Review Complete" until after I got a call for the acceptance.
