OOS ED, just got my acceptance letter via email! The mail was taking too long so I reached out and Ms. French sent me a copy via email. Looking forward to seeing you all in class!

So you had a complete email, an active review email, then the II? Interesting, when were you complete then?

I just interviewed yesterday and it went really well. Everyone is super nice and it's honestly just a conversation. Do a little bit of prep to have some common answers in your head but don't rehearse, it's pretty casual. Dress well, be attentive, come with questions. Pretty basic.

Know your application in and out. They will all you about specifics of your reasoning for choosing your extracurriculars. Other than that, be attentive and have some questions for the interviewers that isn’t crazy specific. These people are gauging you off the “can I have a beer with this person” principle. If you got the interview, that means your scores are good enough and your essays are intriguing, they just want to know who you are, so just be you.

So like they said, the interview is very relaxed, and the interviewers really just want to get to know you. They really focused on my personal statement and asked a lot of questions based off of what I wrote for that. I would know your application very well and have reasonings for why you wrote what you wrote.

They want to see that you’re passionate and excited about being a doctor and their program. Just smile and relax!! It was such a wonderful experience, and I’m so glad I chose Shreveport as my home for the next four years!

Good luck!! You’re going to do so well!

Are you under preliminary review? If so, that's all I ever got and I interviewed last Tuesday. 🤷‍♀️ Doesn't seem like everyone gets an explicit "file complete" email.
 
Update: Got the A yesterday! FYI my timeline was "preliminary review" on 7/29, no "complete" or "active review" email, II on 9/29, Interview on 10/12, and A yesterday, 10/19. Hope that helps.

For those who are in "active review" like me, do you already received an invitation for ll?

And for those who transition from active review to ll. How long that transition took?

Thank you for all your answers!

I was under active review 9/30 and received an II on 10/7, so it was exactly one week when I heard back from them. Hope this helps!!

I have a question regarding my application. I have submitted both primary and secondary applications, but have been waiting for my last letter of recommendation to be submitted. Will having only 2/3 letters submitted by the Nov 1 deadline tank my application? My recommender has sort of let me down and I don’t know what to do. I know I should have dealt with this sooner, but I am considering reaching out to another professor tomorrow for a LOR. I was reading that LORs do not have to be submitted until secondaries, but I have submitted mine. Does anybody have any advice?

I actually had a similar thing happen to me but while I do not think its ideal I would say you have a fair chance at an II if the rest of your application is good. Side note this was last cycle during COVID affecting everything.

I just had my interview this Tuesday, 11/2, and was wondering if anyone knew how long it takes for a decision? I heard that the admissions committee meets every other Thursday but I was not sure if that was correct!

This is correct. My letter arrived the following Monday, but it depends on whether or not the committee is meeting the week of your interview.
 
Anyone under active review for almost a month?
I started 10.19 and haven't heard anything.
