Hi! Does someone mind please sharing what a pre II hold looks like on their end? I haven't received any emails regarding an R or a pre II hold or anything on the application portal, so I am just curious to see how they update you of your status

I received an email last week saying I was on hold. Application portal doesn't say anything different for me
 
How did you guys go about sending thank you letters after the MMI?
 
Can anyone talk me through what the interview day looks like? I know interviews are scheduled from 1-4 but according to their website/interview page the circuit only lasts 70 minutes. Are there two groups of MMI (one group goes first, the other second)? Or is there a group activity? Just wondering what to prepare for since it's such a long interview day!

1 group will go first while the second group gets the eat lunch and wait for their MMI. Then once the first group is done, they're done for the day and the second group goes.

Awesome thank you so much for this info! I was also wondering if there is a traditonal station or just all MMIs?
 
They just sent me an email saying my application is now complete, despite me submitting it >3 weeks ago.
Is that normal? Does that just mean my app is under review now?

I received the same email about a month and a half ago before being put on hold two weeks ago. I was complete well before they sent me this email, you're not alone
 
Anyone know how long it takes to get the email to set up the portal and pay the deposit?
 
Sorry one more question: for any previous accepted students, did you put your AAMC ID on the acceptance reply form?
 
Congrats on those who got the A!! How long after your interviews did you hear back?
Edit: Just wondering if they typically wait the whole 6 weeks or not lol

It's been just under a month for me, I interviewed early October so about I heard back in about 4 weeks
 
OOS Waitlisted. Interviewed 10/18. Anyone know my chances?
 
Waitlisted as well! This is one of my top choices so i wish i had got an A... but waitlist is still a chance, right?

Absolutely it is. But God this cycle has been rough with the waitlists. I am already on 3 waitlists, and it has been a serious blow to my confidence. Especially since I feel as though I am performing well in my interviews. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I interviewed about two weeks ago and I was surprised to hear back so quickly!

No idea if this is the case here, but one of the Deans of Admissions at a school I interviewed at was quite transparent about the fact that the majority of interviewed applicants would be placed on the Waitlist, especially earlier on in the cycle. Apparently, schools used to receive quite a bit of information regarding where applicants got acceptances and stuff like that throughout the cycle, which helped them make decisions about who to extend interviews to, who to accept, etc. Now, with the "Plan to Enroll" and "Commit to Enroll" tools, schools don't get to see where applicants have gotten in until late April, so they are unable to make educated guesses about the likeliest applicants to attend their school. As an unfortunate consequence, they need to be more conservative earlier in the cycle about which applicants to accept and which to waitlist.

Wishing the best for you @Snoop32

Possibly on Dec 1st.
I think it would be nice to hype myself if NYMC is my only choice or to get a good opinion of it if I have to weight it against another school.

My thoughts exactly. Also thinking about December 1 because I have work on the November date
 
do we think they will put out more dates for accepted students to visit in hte future?
 
Hi all! Just received II this morning and the only interview dates available are mid-February. Is anyone seeing earlier dates on their portal? This happened to me with another school when I tried to schedule my interview immediately after getting the invite and by the next day I was able to see/select earlier interview dates. Just trying to determine if Feb. is really the earliest available or if other dates are showing up for other students. Thank you!

not sure about dates right now but when I got an II the earliest date I could schedule was 2 months later with most dates being 2.5-3 months out, so I think this timing makes sense, especially factoring in the holidays. congrats on your II & good luck!!!

I second this. I received my II on Aug 4th and the earliest I could schedule for was early October.

I got an II early an the first available was Dec but you can reserve wats available and then email them i have a spot here but if any earlier spots become available i would like to be added to the waiting list for them. They called me a week later and said they had a spot next week.
