I GOT AN A!!!!!!! Interviewed 10/14 (my bday lol)

(I missed the call about an hour ago, so i called this number :973-275-4838 until someone answered, gave my name and number to the lady answering, and the dean of admissions called me back 20 minutes later. )

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY
 
What do people who missed the call do? I’m very nervous now.
 
Has anyone who interviewed in September heard today? I’m starting to think I may have been put on a deferral/ post interview hold or rejected list. If you missed the call I’d call them back and just be at the ready. I’m sure they understand people miss calls all the time

Interviewed in September, still waiting. Idk how many admissions days they've done, but I would assume they're not going to completely fill the class in one shot. They're probably only handing out a handful of acceptances at a time.
 
my app has been in preliminary review since mid sept, does this mean it might be an R? or is it normal to take 3 months to even get to first phase review lol
 
Does anyone know if interviews are open or closed file? I assumed open , but now I’m not sure.
 
Hey guys. I just had one more question, for those of you who interviewed here. I received an interview invite last week, I will be attending the info session this coming Tuesday, But still haven’t received a call or any email about scheduling an interview. Did you guys get your interview schedule and call after you attended the information session or before?

I got mine before. If you don’t here Monday or Tuesday then I would call them.
 
What email are you guys using to communicate with the school? I've been trying to contact them but haven't received any responses :/
 
Got the call back!! I recommend calling that number and following the same steps ^^
Also my interviewer told me most A’s don’t start going out until the new year so don’t lose hope yet! Good luck to everyone!
How did you actually call though? Isn’t the number to a general hospital line?
 
Received an II earlier today! LM 74, complete in mid-late July. I think I will be interviewing sometime in January, but would love to hear everyone's thoughts on whether this could just be an interview for a WL position. Would also love to hear about anyone's interview experience with this school! Congratulations to everyone who has received an A and best of luck to those still waiting. 🙂

Also attending info session Tuesday (tmrw) and haven’t heard about scheduling the interview. Has your interview been scheduled yet or no?
 
I got the call from the dean on Friday, are we supposed to have received an email confirmation by now? Starting to think may have dreamed it lol...

I scheduled it by calling the admissions office after the info session
 
Same and I emailed and they did not reply 🙁 most likely a silence R at this point
I'm still holding hope that it's because of the COVID backlog because this school really is one of my top choices. But with each week of silence I'm losing hope : /
 
Did anyone go on one of the campus tours? How was it? What's the dress code? Thanks 🙂

Just went today. There is no dress code although most people were in a button down or something similar. IMO it was a lot of "here is this room" and "this is what we use this room for" and I wish there was more explanation of the student experience. However, N=1 and it may have made a totally different impression other people.

People at mine were also dressed similarly! But I really enjoyed my tour. Our guide was very personable and really gave us insight into what being a student at HM is like. definitely come prepared with questions cause or they’ll probably default to the tour “here is the room” stuff. I definitely left feeling excited and about their program.
 
I interviewed in November and just called the office to ask when we would hear back. They said they just started reviewing those apps and will most likely hear after the holidays in January.

Out of curiosity... do you say your name when you call or remain anonymous to protect your file?
 
They asked for my AAMC ID. I didn’t mind giving it. I think my conversation came off as me being enthusiastic about the school.
appreciate your response... I haven't heard from a majority of schools and have held off from communicating with ADCOMs but I am so anxious.... best of luck friend.
 
Just received initial review complete email! For those who have been waiting a long time, I went under prelim review on 08/11 so it seems like review can sometimes take awhile.
Hey i think i just got the same email. What is prelim review at this school? Staying in 'initial review' sounds like a hold to me lol RIP

I think prelim review is just their version of saying "we're starting to review your app." Now that our application review is complete, we are now in an internal hold LOL. Hope you get an interview invite after the holidays!
