Does anyone know how long it takes to hear back after interviews?
 
Same, pretty sure that you need to have a score of 9 or 10 to hear back before March

i'm confused bc i thought this school is not rolling admissions = most people find out in March regardless of when they interview?

Please go look at the 2020-2021 discussion is only 6 pages or so ( for reference ). The majority of admissions will be sent out in MARCH however some post II Rs will go earlier, and a selected few mostly outstanding IS will get notified earlier.
 
If you score 8 or higher, you get notified before March. Otherwise, you're notified in March. Committee convenes in February. They don't tell you the scoring system but you can guess it's based on GPA, MCAT, extracurriculars, ties to Hawaii, interviews, LOR, etc.

OOS but with ties..

Ties help but don't mean much at JABSOM. To put things in perspective things to be considered a resident IS an applicant you need to meet 3 of these:

  1. Legal residence of the applicant
  2. Legal residence of the applicant’s parents
  3. Birthplace
  4. Location of high school graduated
  5. Location of college or university attended
Meaning that local applicants whose legal state of residence is in Hawaii( 5,10 years or more), but only meet 2 of the 3, are considered OOS and are competing for the same 10 OSS spots with International and mainland students. This makes ties to the state useful but not that relevant.

While it is your first choice, make sure you don't put all your eggs in one basket.

I have 2 out of the 5.. I know my chances are slim, but still hopeful. I have some other options but JABSOM would be a dream come true.

I have seen it already.

You said "up to 6 weeks" which is misleading. Most people need to wait longer than 6 weeks.

I have 0 out of the 5 and JABSOM is still my top choice out of the schools i applied to
 
Pre-II rejection. OOS but with ties. 512 MCAT and 3.5x GPA.
 
Anyone know if they interview here is open or closed file? I also got an II last cycle and was wondering if it was appropriate to discuss their interest in me (being OOS) with the dean.

Your interviewers can read your personal statement and secondary essays. Other than that, they do not get information about your stats and other stuff!
 
International applicant. Placed on the interview waitlist today, complete 08/4. I assume that does not bode well. I did not have high hopes but I did love the school.

Wondering if anyone has been accepted as of yet?
Click to expand...
I believe that JABSOM doesn't really do rolling acceptances. Many of theirs go out in March. I do think they give out early acceptances early next year to people who have scored a high number of points (you can find more details about this online, I don't know the categories off the top of my head).
 
Pre-interview hold right now. OOS 3.91 GPA 521 MCAT
 
what's the historic pre-interview hold trend for this school? is it a soft R? OOS, 0 ties whatsoever
 
Does anyone know if JABSOM accepts pre-II updates?
 
I finished my interview last week. The admission director mentioned we may hear something sooner but most likely decisions come on March 11th.
 
How long after your final interviews did you get the file closure notice?
 
Does anyone know how they send notifications? Just wondering if it’s via email or a letter?
 
Received an e-mail titled "interview waitlist closure" earlier. Little too on the nose for me 😛

I don't know if I'm just brain dead but what does that email mean?? 😂 That they are no longer interviewing and are done for the season?

I imagine that's exactly right!
edit:The second sentence, of course LOL
 
Just under 2 weeks to go..So ready to find out. Since they average 77 per class, I wonder how many they actually accept? They have to take into account people declining. Perhaps they just go down the waitlist..Best of luck to everyone…
 
Any news from OS applicants?

I wanna say that all news regardless of OOS or IS is around march 11th

Yep you’re right, I was given March 11th as an official decision date. You’re scored by a panel on a scale of 1-10. Applicants scoring higher than 8 will hear back sooner, but everyone else will all hear back on the same day (March 11th this round).
 
Anyone have any thoughts on the school/curriculum? ✌🏼
