Could you post the essay prompts?
1. Describe how your background and future goals will contribute to the mission of the UNLV School of Medicine.
I only mentioned things that added to my app, but your format looks good!
I got a II, but I declined the interview. I'm already enrolled in another DO school, and I don't really see a reason to switch to another one that has similar match statistics. I'm not even 100% sure I'll take this II just because it means redoing an entire year of medical school. I know it's definitely gonna irk people because I'm in sort of a privileged position here, but that's the truth. I figure the least I can do is help other people keep track of when II's are going out though.
Did you defer or have you started classes already?
My classes have already started. The only reason I am even considering making the switch is the tuition is significantly cheaper.
For sure! Well, I'm sure you'll figure out what is best for you. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do!
Nah, there isn’t a way. Just sit tight, they’ll email you when there’s something to update you with!
In my interview group a couple weeks ago there were a handful of OOS applicants.
We don't push out updates in our portal. We will message if there is a change in status. Until then files are under review. Our deadline is October 1st and we'll be waiting upon verifications and MCAT scores for several weeks after that. Our first round of rejection message typically come out in late November or early December. These go out to those not going to secondary. We typically also try to wrap up all offers for interview by mid-to-late December. That is our additional round of notifications. For those who interview, they tend to stay active for quite some time as we do rolling admissions.
They said for now the class will still be 60. With the opening of their new medical building next year they’re going to look to expand, but they have to go through the process with the LCME to get that approved.
For me it took a little over 3 weeks! But I think the timeline is different based on secondary submission date etc.
I believe they said they're planning on doing calls on monday if they meet on the previous friday.
5-7 minutes given but you don’t have to use the whole time. You also get a minute after the question is shown/read before you start responding
Calls for the October admits were completed today.
The committee meets mostly on the 3rd Thursday but sometimes it moves around due to holidays and schedules.
About how many people are in the group sessions?
~30 if I remember correctly
Congrats!
Per the admin comment above, the adcom hasn't met yet this month.
Ooop I got it confused with UNR that meets on the 15th haha
For what it's worth, UNR doesn't meet until December 15. But UNLV should be meeting this Thursday, which means calls could go out as early as Friday!
Congratulations!
+1. This call made the holidays a lot better! Interviewed at the end of September.
Congrats!! If you dont mind me asking, when did you interview and what were your stats?
Congratulations!! Around what time did they call you, and if you dont mind answering what were your stats?
Thank you! They called around 11am PST. I have a 71 LM score.
Thank you so much! I had a 71 LM score and I interviewed at the end of August!
