It is required (but if you absolutely cannot attend you can email them) and it is casual! I wore a sweater to mine and most other people were in casual clothing. I could tell some people were at work as well which I am sure they understand.
So what is the purpose of the pre-interview thing they host on mondays —what does it cover ?
Everyone just introduced themselves and then they showed you how to use the web app that the interview will be taking place in and explained how the day would run/what happens if you have any technical difficulties. There was a chance for people to ask questions about the interview day.
Sick, thanks!
oh thats good --I wish more schools did this --it will help calm out nerves lol
Yes! They would just like you to destroy your notes afterward
I have avoided processing the fact that it’s October to avoid the nerves, but it’s not working super well haha. I thought decisions could come out on the 15th, but I’m not sure where my mind got that from—did they say 20th during the interview day?
It’s no later than the 20th and no earlier than the 15th because 10/15 is the first day AAMC allows decision release. And I hear you! I tried to schedule every meeting I could possibly have for work this week so I wouldn’t have time to think about this 😂
I have accepted that anxiety will be in the background from Oct 15-Oct 20.
I'm glad to not be the only one eaten away at by anxiety 😌
I have some minor updates and was considering sending - might bring a tiny more attention to my early August submitted app (doubtful lolz)
frustrating because i literally love this school so much but i don't think they feel the same way about me
Yes, interviewed in September.

T20
Ivy
Is it brown university and your username is a unique play on the school name
Not sure what tier undergraduate mine is but I went to one of the top UCs
Well, the username is more of a reference to the Beyoncé song, but I did go to Brown, lol. I used to have a really doxxing username that was explicit about where I went to school though
Yep, I interviewed on September 24th
Top tier public school

2020-2021 Michigan
can anyone give some insight on the MIC? If you have interviewed can you share how it was applied during the interview
2020-2021 had a total of 468 II and 381 As (according to TheDataKing's tracker). Per MSAR, about 80 people are WLed each year, and they unfortunately haven't had to pull from the WL. So practically everyone who doesn't end up with an A ends up on the WL either upfront or later.
At the time of this poster's post, there were 422 II out and 204 As given. This was the beginning of January, and interview season here seems to end at the beginning of February (so they posted 1 month before wrap-up).
204 --> 381 in the end seems like quite a jump, so it does seem like there could be decent conversion of deferrals to As.
Defer means they delay their decision to give A or WL to like late February or some time in March.
Interviewed and was accepted here - I just left it blank!
yes that's right
