Do any accepted students have interview tips?

pre-II R today
I don’t get why schools have a portal where you can upload if they (potentially) don't read the updates... I submitted an update last week to the portal because the admissions person told me via email to do that...

So who would you send an update to, if not through the portal?
I would assume their admissions office <[email protected]>. I uploaded mine on the portal and emailed them, but they just emailed me back and told me that my application is still being considered and to upload the letter on the portal.
Same for me lol
I sent an update through the portal AND emailed them. Haven’t heard back 🙁

I did both as well and got an email response...that's odd
I sent an email to [email protected] from their website contact us thingy. Is that not the right one?

That is the same one I emailed
Not sure if you shorthanded it for this post but the one I sent to and got a reply from was [email protected] instead of @qu.edu
Apparently they have 2 emails to make things even more confusing lol

How long did it take for them to reply to you?

It was a difficult decision but I just withdrew my acceptance offer here, hope it goes to one of you! @bluebunny13! As far as interview advice goes I would prepare for the classic medical school interview questions (tell me about yourself etc.) but Quinnipiac was honestly one of the most friendly interview experiences I have had. They are truly trying to get to know you as a person. Best to luck to everyone that is still waiting!
I emailed them last night and got a response this afternoon, I had uploaded my letter to the portal about 2 weeks before that though.
Lol literally same here except no response. 🙁
It’s not actually two emails, everything with the @qu.edu extension will go to the respective @quinnipiac.edu account.
Congrats! So they never replied to your initial email, just sent an II instead?
thanks! yeah I never got a reply
aye take that as a W!!! Congrats. Make us proud.
This gives me hope 😭
Never mind, they just emailed me back saying I’m still under consideration. 🙁
hey better than an R! best of luck
Did those of you who emailed them but also uploaded a letter of interest in the portal actually include the letter of interest in the body of the email/as an attachment again or did you just ask them if your application was still under consideration?

I didn’t upload it to the email again, just asked for an update on my status.

I uploaded it in the portal as a pdf and then like a week later copied it into an email (not as an attachment) bc I had a feeling they wouldn't look at the portal
+1 for II after emailing an update. So excited for this one!
Congrats!! What dates were available?
Thanks! Just 4/11. I think that must be their last date or something??

Congrats! It definitely seems like the trick is to email them! Idk why they even tell us to upload stuff to the portal if they don't even look at it lol
Congrats? Was your mcat high? Seems like high Stats applicants are getting these IIs

Sorry if this was asked before but are we given our interviewers names beforehand?
Nope we are not!
Me seeing this waitlisted after interview… 🥲
I thought it went fine. My interviewer and I laughed a lot and I didn’t feel any negative vibes. 516 MCAT and 3.9x GPA too. *shrug* Who knows. Hopefully a spot will open up once WL movement starts
when did you interview/ when were you waitlisted? If you dont mind me asking.
I interviewed in the middle of November and heard back in December

Where did you get this stat?
I have seen in other threads the number being around 85%. Just was not sure how accurate the data was.
Thanks! I got the II last week. MCAT 510-515 range.
Very. Exceptionally family friendly. An admitted student was offered a year deferment after becoming pregnant a couple years back, ~4/96 classmates have partners who have had children since starting school. I think there was a pregnant first year recently that had accommodations for anatomy lab to limit exposures.
overall good place for nontrads in general
unsure, i will say you get a diversity of exposures, from bridgeport which is one of the most inequitable cities in america to primary care in old money towns to Connecticut childrens. smaller does not necessarily equate with less learning opportunity.
the proof is in the pudding as they say though, take a peek at the match list, I feel like it's pretty strong and that's a more tangible metric you can use to compare schools
