MCAT above or below 516?

515, 3.72, IS

 

[voxveritatisetlucis]

does anyone have any insight when there may next be As sent out? or have they been consistently doing a few every other wk and just not reported here?

I know that there have been weeks in which people were accepted but nobody posted on SDN. I’m guessing people are reluctant to post since so few acceptances (relative to other schools) go out on a week by week basis.

Is Kaiser considered a needy school, one of those that wants frequent updates post-II and pre-decision? I'm guessing not?

So I’ve had 5 interviews so far and I think Kaiser was probably my best experience. I think they emphasized it more than other schools. They even ask us to include updates in our traditional interview. However, don’t feel pressured to do so. I think they’re really focusing on fit. Updates are nice but I highly doubt they matter very much.

No. They interview several times the amount they're going to accept. No shortage of candidates

Legend.

 

[berkdown]

oh very recently, 1/18, so i wouldn't imagine anything soon but just wanting to know how "rolling" it is

I received the A about 2 weeks after my interview in October. Based on years past, it seems you either get an A within a month or two after your date or a WL/R in March.

Hey everyone! I recently got an II and I was just wondering what were some of your impressions of the interview day? (not anything specific regarding the interviews themselves, just curious about your overall feel for your interviewers/faculty, students, stress level during the day, etc...)

What day?

 

[Throwaway17462]

What day?

I received mine on January 29th. I’m OOS with an mcat below 516 and a gpa of 3.9X. I submitted my app in July. I hope any of the above answers any questions anyone may have!

The stress level was quite high imo esp for the MMI stations (take it w a grain of salt since it was my first interview). Def a long day but very informative. Students seemed ok, not particularly enthusiastic but answered our questions to the best of their abilities. I thought it was organized very well.

How many minutes per station?

Seems like people are still getting them, so I wouldn't lose hope. I'm rooting for you!

Did you?

 

[Throwaway17462]

Did you?

Yes. I actually got my interview invite on Friday the 28th. I misread the date on my email. Looking at past threads I think they extended invites through February!

Does the email begin with the admissions committee or does it say congratulations in the subject or after salutations?

 

[Throwaway17462]

This is the subject line “Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine: Interview Invitation” hope that helps!

Opt out of it, option at end of email. Saves the anxiety

Do you think opting out might affect my chances at an interview? I'm entirely kidding, of course.

II just now! Completed 9/2 OOS LizzyM 76

 

[plaguedoctor23]

They allow/encourage updates if you interviewed right? Making sure I didn't imagine that before I submit

Yes they allow it! Haven't heard if it's technically encouraged, but I sent one

What I have in my notes is that they want to know updates but that they're not super interested in "love letters", at least until your WL'd

Yeah, its been a few months since I interviewed so I'm relying on old notes and vague recollections, but that's what I wrote down. Dont think an LOI will be looked at negatively, but I don't think they're like needy like some other schools.

 

[Throwaway17462]

I'm sure we're all feeling like this lol.

What schools are needy? Every school interviews way more than accepted

 

[deleted1106140]

Yes, but some schools will give a boost to people who send updates/LOI. Needy schools might move up someone’s rank for sending in an update/LOI.

Could someone confirm that thank you letters are to be sent to [email protected]? That's what I had written but by the end of the day my brain was fried haha

I've heard Mayo anecdotally, but I didn't interview there so don't know. These schools just highly value interest, they really only want to accept people that will likely come for whatever reason.
