lol i havent checked mine in a week or so but mine changed to "complete and under review" now too. honestly seems to be meaningless based off of someone contacting admissions previously. maybe it meant we were with a reviewer who forgot to check us off as under review or something
 
Anyone else applied with a 508 and 3.9X GPA. I don’t know if I wasted money or if I actually had a shot… rest of my application is solid

I applied with very similar stats and a lot of research. Not expecting to hear back but you never know.

Congrats!! Do you mind sharing stats and when were you complete?

Thank you, it's my first interview invite/response and I'm really excited and grateful!! And sure thing, but yo should know off the bat that in addition to my stats, I also have strong ties to Pittsburgh. I submitted the secondary on July 28, but I'm not sure where to see when it was "complete"? (but all of my materials were in by then). I have a 515 MCAT (a little unbalanced by lower C/P score: 126 C/P, 129 CARS, 129 B/B, and 131 P/S but I'm still proud). My undergrad overall GPA is 3.82, and my science is 3.62-ish if you don't count my graduate science courses, which were As. I have a Master of Public Health degree in infectious diseases that I completed over the past year (right after undergrad). I have really strong ties to Pitt and a connection to the community. Grandparents and many aunts, uncles and cousins live in the Pitt area, I spent many summers and some winters there growing up, and I would be a fourth generation Pitt Med student (including both parents, who met there!) if I have the incredible privilege of being accepted (fingers crossed, for all of us, I would love to go here!). I hope that helps, I'm new to SDN so I don't know what stats people usually include and I hope I didn't say too much or too little :)

So sorry if this wasn’t clear, on the interview manager system they have individual sessions for things like financial aid, pstp, etc. you have manually schedule the different sessions they have in your interview manager tab.

Does anyone that has an interview this week (or has interviewed) know where to find the link for the interviews? I see the links for the information sessions on the portal, but can't find where to actually join the interview?

It's mentioned somewhere that the zoom links will pop up morning of your interview!

As a student interviewer, just be as genuine, un-scripted, and un-cliched as possible - relax and be real. No need to throw out platitudes or stuff you think adcoms wanna hear...at least for student interviewers, I think its super obvious to most of us when someone's trying to sell themselves. Good luck!

Could anyone who's interviewed already (or in the past cycle) give any insight into the group exercise portion of the interview? I can't seem to find anything about it.
 
To the questions above, I don't know how much info I can give, but the scenario is exactly what you would expect but really laid back. Also, you don't know who your interviewers are ahead of time.

For those who already interviewed, do you find out which faculty member you are interviewing with before the interview? Or do you meet right as the interview starts? Thanks.

Met them right as the interview starts! Had no info about who they were going into the interview.

People just getting the IIs now, to appease my curiosity: what's the earliest date still available to choose from for interview dates?

For everyone awaiting interview sessions: it's really super low stress. I will not be answering any questions about it though
