Pathways interview! I cannot believe it at all. (Also HST hold, which is more in line with what I was expecting).

Completed 7/8.

wow i just got a pathways II and can hardly believe it - OOS, complete 7/16. I was also having an incredibly awful day and this was a really nice boost. perhaps the trick to an II is to have a particularly terrible day lol

Alright guys level with me...

my second interview was out of the park.. interviewer vibes with me and she kept saying how impressed she was with my CV.

the first interview wasn’t as enthusiastic but she was impressed with my research and clinical skills. There was one blip at the very last second where my brain kinda farted and I asked “ so do you have any more questions about me ? And she said “ No @Dogruffle01 , I have no questions for you” in a kinda sarcastic tone.
U think I blew it right there?

Don't think too much about it. Some of my classmates had "bad" or "awkward" interviews and they are here! Honestly the worst part will be waiting until March to find out your decision. Good luck!

Did anyone receive a "complete" email after submitting your secondary? I got the "Supplemental Application Received" email about a month ago but no official "Supplemental application complete".

Check your portal
 
Check your portal
Yup, I have green check marks by everything. I was just unsure if I was supposed to receive a "Complete" email (all the other schools I applied to sent a Complete email in addition to the "Supplemental Application Received" email)?
 
Wow I've been thinking about this for years!

OOS II received!
LM 76 URM
Complete 07/20

Edit: Pathways!

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, but does HMS send rejections or do they usually just ghost?

Congratulations, that's amazing! Just wondering: did you ever receive a "Supplemental application complete" email? I only received a "Supplemental application received" email although everything on my portal seems to be complete.

Does anyone have any insight on when the best time to use an update would be? I will be presenting at an HMS-hosted conference soon (next month). Should I wait until after that or should I send something now? I know that they may/may not read it, but I definitely want to shoot my shot.

I interviewed the week of Oct 4, and I recently tried to go into the HMS Interview Day Canvas to find a link to an info session, and I found that I am no longer able to access the Canvas. Do other people who have interviewed earlier in the cycle no longer have access to the Canvas, or is it just me?

I can still access it, interviewed the week of 9/13.
 
Just got an II today to both Pathways and HST. OOS. Complete in early August. Literally speechless.

does anyone know if attending the optional additional events have any impact on the decision?

Was curious about this too, I really hope not. They say they don't look at attendance but I wonder if that's true

Congrats!
I was complete 7/22 and have heard nothing yet... interpreting this as a silent R at this point. Anyone else in a similar boat?

+1 Complete 07/08, never really expected to get an II from here, so I just try to keep it out of my mind. If it happens, then surprise!

Complete almost exact same date and in the same boat. I thought Harvard sends interviews through the season though?

It's not over until it's over. Know a guy that was complete mid-August and get an II mid-December. He was accepted too.
