I wish I knew where my standing on the alternate list was :/
it's difficult for them to gauge your chances while they're still interviewing people because after every round of interviews, your position may go up or down depending on how you compare to other applicants

weisman does let wl students who reach out know how much wl is moving later on around april/may
 
Just got placed on the alternate list, which I assume is the same thing as a waitlist right? I’m planning on sending a email to maintain my position on the waitlist and I was wondering if I should include that Miami is my top choice? Thanks
miami accepts letter of intent but it's up to your discretion when you want to send one in if it's your top choice, personally i think they hold more weight once the WL starts moving
 
idk if this happened to anyone else but one of my interviewers was kind of rude/hostile and I initially wanted to just put it aside and hope that I'd get an A (interviewed october) but at this point I think it's affecting my chances of getting in, so now I'm debating on reporting it. but i don't know how receptive they'd be to this. any advice?? feeling stuck 😢
i obviously can't speak of your experience and it's completely sucks to be in that situation, but i will say that stress interviews are fairly common from the program (whether it's intentional or not...just a lot of colorful personalities at the U)

i think if it genuinely made you uncomfortable you should report it, stress interview or not
 
Has anyone been offered scholarships by Miller?

they offer merit scholarships based on how many points your app scores for certain criteria (stats, exceptional ecs, etc), if the people they offer these scholarships dont accept their seats, the scholarship offer trickles down to the next candidate with the most points

they also offer diversity and need-based scholarships that you have to apply for and i assume they get back to you on that once your financial aid package is ready
 
I don’t know whether I’m not being scored because I applied lateish or because my app is trash or because they’re slow as heck over there

I can assure you it’s not because of the timeline because I applied very early and have not been scored. On their site they say that everyone will be scored but clearly that isn’t happening

You’re right, it says every completed app is independently scored by 3 people. For some reason I thought not everyone is scored. And interviews are only through mid-March, so when exactly are they going to score and holi$tically review us?

Oh you know, never 😂
 
Maybe they’ll be like Tulane last year who finally started reviewing my app at the end of the cycle and then rejected me in a week’s time. Just so they can say they “reviewed” me.
Basically but that’s not even reviewing the app lol. They claim on my status that they are currently reviewing my application but they’ve been reviewing my app for 7 months lol

Same but for 5 months. I wonder if it’s my casper score? I scored 2nd quartile. Or because my 1st MCAT had a 124 CARS section. I wish I knew what the issue is.
 
And I’m OOS from Cali! Lol, I could understand why they’re not scoring me, but I really don’t get why they haven’t scored you yet!
The best part is I called them asking and she was like, we are reviewing it if it says we are reviewing it. Then I asked what about it being scored and she had nothing to say

Honestly, they should just change what they said on their website then. That not everyone gets scored for whatever reason. I just want my money back at this point.
 
For those that interviewed here already, how was the interview day structured?
 
Hey for those of you who interviewed on 01/31, wanted to confirm that we should be hearing back tomorrow?
