Running a little behind

Running a little behind

From what I hear they’re about to shut down again, so might be running a bit farther behind.

 

[pinkcat]

Shut down for what?

I think they mean for COVID

 

[docemmettbrown]

From what I hear they’re about to shut down again, so might be running a bit farther behind.

Covid is proliferating in TN right now. Unfortunately, masks and the vaccine are still highly politicized.

 

[Lolaaa]

did you guys write the optional and the required essay on the same pdf or separate?

 

[BIL L5-S1 TFE]

Submitting my secondary tonight😀

 

[PreMedLife210]

What did you guys write in your optional? Just curious. I was thinking of doing a "why us" or a "why DO" but would like some thoughts.

[PreMedLife210]

why DO

what makes you choose what to use for those optional/"why us" prompts?

This school didn't have a why DO, and I feel like my essay for why DO is strong, so I used that.

true that, thanks for the reply!

 

[PreMedLife210]

Did anyone get a fee waiver for this school? If so, what did you say for the "Fee waiver reason request?"

 

[docemmettbrown]

Anyone want to bet which school will send interview invites first between PCOMs and DCOM, lol.

 

[Premeddd8]

anybody still waiting

 

[PreMedLife210]

Anybody else get an email stating you're 99% complete on supplemental? I don't have MCAT score in yet, but there's no spot for that on the app itself. I paid the fee and submitted essay etc of course.

I was also curious about this when I received my confirmation email.

 

[LonelykingT]

From your mouth to gods ears! II received today. OOS, complete 7/2

Wrong person !!!!!! Jk congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LonelykingT]

@lonleykingt did you receive an II? what are your stats? I’m Canadian/506/3.83 and didn’t receive anything. I’m guessing they’re prioritizing IS applicants??

I received nothing … I was hoping

 

[Organic Dolphin]

Well they are prioritizing some set of students that’s not on the basis of stats so I’m sure we will hear something soon!

I’m 3.3 515 and I haven’t heard anything yet. Not Canadian but OOS. Hopefully we hear something soon!

 

[MelPre]

Does anyone know how preference between the two campuses for admission is assigned? I don't remember choosing a campus on the primary or secondary application

It wasn’t asked this time. So I assume they will offer it as a choice if accepted

 

[pre-mednerd]

What was your mcat if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Shaggy_]

Do you have ties?

 

[docemmettbrown]

What are you guys doing to prepare for the group interview style?

 

[Shaggy_]

Do you have ties?

Yes I live in the Appalachian region and went to college there. That is about it though as I am OOS.

 

[Shaggy_]

What are you guys doing to prepare for the group interview style?

I have been researching other places that did this type of interview. Closed file is important to understand. so I think it might be more about personality, professionalism, and how we interact in a group setting. Any other input?
