All good! OOS, no ties to the state but was actually interested and I did think that I wrote a good why Hawaii essay lol

Haha yeah you probably did! Hawaii is just incredibly hard to get in OOS. They really want people who are looking to stay in Hawaii. It’s not a reflection on your app! I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your app cycle!!

P.S. just curious, when were you complete? (even tho it probably doesn’t matter lol)

Does anybody know how close they tend to be to the 2-4 week window to receive the status of your application? Yesterday was the 4 week mark for me and I haven't heard anything.

Is it worth applying here without ties to the state?

 

[elrm257]

Is their response actually sent after 2 weeks, or are you guys getting your II/R closer to the 4 weeks mark?

[futuretrashwoman]

Out of curiosity, how do they view California applicants? Or is any applicant out of Hawaii viewed as the same?

 

[tandapp]

Another OOS bites the dust! Only weak ties to the state. Was hoping I might pass the screen since they held on to my app for so long. Good luck everyone!

[Jheyh]

Anyone hear from JABSOM recently? The email I received from them stated that we would hear something in 2-4 weeks. It's getting to be around 6 weeks now. Is this normal for them?

I'm ten weeks out from that "2-4" emails with no word 🙁

Might be a bit longer.. If you check their Instagram, it looks like part of the school has flooded. Some of the staff were told not to come in.

 

[hipremed19]

Has anyone received an II yet? IS or OOS?

 

[Blathers]

Long-time lurker / first-time poster here! JABSOM doesn't get much love on SDN so it seems worth coming out of the shadows for.

I just received an II earlier this evening!!!!!
IS, LM 70, complete 7/13! This is my first II of the season so I am very hyped 🙂

 

[playdough422]

+1 II, OOS, complete 6/30!

 

[kelaguendoc]

[Jasmine401]

Received II ! OOS, strong ties to the Pacific 😍 For those who scheduled your interviews, are your two interview dates close to each other?

it's been 2 weeks for me, i'm so impatient, i just want my R and i feel like it's too much to ask for 🙁

You schedule it with the physicians themselves, so it is dependent on them and you. They don't schedule it for you. My two interview dates were 5 days apart though.

Do you expect anything different? Not many pre-meds who can count as residents in HI relative to many/most mainland states.
