I received confirmation of my emailed update 2 days later.
I sent the email a few weeks ago and followed up yesterday and nothing. What do you think I should do? I do not want to be annoying lol
I did! I don’t think they use SJT for interview decisions, but I might be wrong 🙂
I believe the estimated wait time is 8-10 weeks right now. Last round of As went out to people who had been waiting 8 weeks or just over.
Congratulations!
Congrats!! Are you instate or OOS?
IS!
did they call you before?
There is time allotted at the beginning of the MMI and between stations for you to see the prompts and prepare responses. At the beginning of each station, the interviewer tells you which prompt they have. It’s up to you how you want to allocate the time—you can ask for a minute to collect your thoughts or you can start speaking right away.
Yep, that seems reasonable to me!
Are all MMI stations graded? This time there were 6 MMI stations rather than the 9 I was expecting. Is one station (your lowest score) still dropped like previously or all they all graded?
Oh, they cut down to 6 prompts? That's news to me. I am not sure if they grade all of them or if one is dropped--sorry! Are you sure that they previously dropped your lowest station?
This was the old way they did it and it mentions there's a "free" station and a "rest station" so out of 8 (excluding the rest station) they evaluate 7. Now that there's 6 i'm not sure how it works. Here's the old way: https://www.med.umn.edu/sites/med.umn.edu/files/ms-tc-admissions-mmi-presentation.pdf
I asked and looks like everything is graded, nothing dropped!
Thanks for checking!
Waitlisted with those stats, I'm sorry. this is so scary
I'm sorry to hear that... what date did you interview? i also interviewed in oct. so i am anxiously waiting.....
They're mostly the same but with a few sentences changed.
Hey there, unfortunately, I was a recipient of a pre-II rejection letter last year. True to the Midwest, it was a lovely and incredibly kind letter. However, to the best of my knowledge, it was the same letter for everyone. I hope not, but if it was the receipt of your very own rejection letter that prompted this post, I highly recommend requesting a meeting with admissions to go over your application and identify areas for improvement if you plan to reapply. I did this and it was very helpful. I think they are quite open to this, particularly for in-state students, which judging by your user name, I am guessing you are. That, or a glutton for punishment 🙂 best of luck with the remainder of this cycle!
Thanks for letting us know! I have a quick question: I interviewed on 11/04, when do you think I'll hear anything? Are they closer to being at the 10-12 week wait time?
I think they are still in the 8-10 week range. I wouldn’t expect to hear anything until after the holidays at least, but I will update if I get any more specific info.
I just want to say it is so incredibly kind of you to take the time to make these updates, especially during the midst of finals! Thank you so much!
You've been a great help! Thank you so much!
By nature MMIs are traditionally closed file. The mini interview is also closed file.
Thanks!
Probably either tomorrow or after the New Year.
I was complete on 8/10 and received an II early November and interviewed in early December.
I interviewed 10/5, and still haven't heard. Sorry for not having better news but I think it might be awhile, since I'm currently at the 11 week mark.
