2021-2022 Miami

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
My LORs are also not being marked as received, even though I sent them probably around a week ago.

Update: I called them about this and they said to email them. Then they said I must not have sent it from AMCAS (I did, a while back). Then they said it’s a glitch in their system. Then I got abruptly hung up on. Really unprofessional.

I had a very similar experience with rude unprofessional support when I called myself. not cool.
 
Hey everyone for people who have gotten the notification on their portal that their app has been “scored” how long did it typically take for your app to update to that status? I know I submitted mine a bit later than the first batch of applicants (7/20 I was complete) but I’d love to get an update 😅
I was complete on 7/12 and it is still showing "under review" on my status

alot of people have had that same problem. try updating your browser, use google chrome if possible and clear you cache. Those steps have help a few of us to be able to access the application. Hope all goes well!
 
GUYS I JUST CHECKED THE PORTAL AND APPARENTLY I GOT AN II??? no email but my portal has changed???

Edit: JK i think it was a glitch :"D
sorry, I got overexcited and I should clarify for anyone confused/curious. Just checked my portal this evening and it stated that I was invited for an interview. It asked me to pick out preferred dates to interview, but when I tried to pick dates in a drop down menu it seems to be glitching out and all the dates were blank. the portal also says I should have received an email about the status change, which I never received.

unfortunate that it's probably a glitch that my portal shows this BUT exciting that they will be sending IIs soon! something for everyone to look forward to 🙂

Weird, it let me go through with dates. Glad to see I wasn't the only one that had the portal with dates

did it change back to the normal message or does it still say that?
 
anybody not even scored yet?? Submitted 7/10
What's all the talk about being scored, you ask?

For all who are wondering about "being scored" it is part of the very organized application-reading process at U Miami.
Your complete (primary + secondary) app, if considered competitive, will be given to 3 members of the admissions committee to read, and as they read it they will each score you in various categories. The scorecards of the 3 readers will be used to make decisions on interviews, with high point scores getting interviewed earlier. You will be notified when your app has been scored, but the actual numbers of your score are not revealed to you and are for the use of the committee only.
Not everyone will reach that 3-person scoring stage.
Not everyone who gets scored will end up with an interview either, but it's a necessary step along the way.

From their web page:

Screening​

Each completed application is scored independently by three members of the Admissions Committee. Factors scored at this point include science GPAs, MCAT scores, diversity of life experiences and accomplishments, the meaningfulness of patient contact experiences, CASPer ®Test Score, and the quality of letters of recommendation. Screening scores are added and used to place the applicant on a ranked list of applicants to be invited for an interview. Applicants with the highest scores are invited first. This process continues until all available interview slots have been filled.
 
Portal is down for me too. Not looking good for my app either since I submitted 7/8 and have yet to be scored.

Probably down due to everyone checking the portal, not necessarily anything specific to your app. Mine is down too and I submitted a month ago
 
congratulations!! do you happen to remember if your portal said you had been scored beforehand?
thanks! 🙂 it said that I had been scored and that interview invites are sent out starting August. I don’t remember the exact message but someone has posted in this thread before! I first noticed that my portal had changed to say that I was scored on 7/27 but I didn’t really think to check before then so not too sure how long it was like that
 
Yes, they ask you to rank 4 dates that you prefer. They range from late September to March.
Not sure if they are in person or not. Gotta do some research
" Evaluation interviews conducted [VIRTUALLY at present] (or on the medical campus) by members of the Admissions Committee is an integral part of our selection process. Interviews are conducted only at the request of the Office of Admissions and are generally held on selected Mondays and Fridays between the middle of September and the end of April " --MSAR

Thank you for that, but does that mean it's either or? I guess I should just wait for an email to come in to clarify, because I'm assuming they just updated the site with interview invites since it was just down.
 
Still says it and now I can pick dates

asked admissions and they said that interview invites emails will be sent in the next couple of weeks, but didn’t say anything about it being an error in the portal?
Did you try to pick and submit dates? I picked dates and it actually let me submit my request for those interview dates. I was half expecting it to not let me submit since the emails haven't gone out yet.

Thanks for relaying what you heard from the admissions team! It feels very strange to get an II through a sketchy half baked portal update but I'm not complaining lol.

Congrats to everyone else with an II and hopefully more to come soon for those awaiting an invite 🙂

LM 76.2 and IS for anyone who is curious
 
finally just got scored sometime in the last 24 hours! submitted 7/18. for those who got II's, were your apps scored first?
