Hey y'all current MS1. They usually release the decision later in the afternoon at the end of the workday (from my memory). The committee meets every 2 weeks and decides on applicants. During the cycle continued consideration (CC) means they will look at your application at the next meeting with the other interviewed applicants so you are not out of the running. They create a waitlist at the very end of the cycle after the final committee meeting. So everyone who got CC, you still have a good chance (tons of my classmates were on CC for a while including myself) so don't give up hope!

Got that CC 2x,

Can you submit a letter of interest before you get an interview invite?

Can you submit a letter of interest before you get an interview invite?

They already know you're interested since you applied. I guess you could submit one but it'll most likely just go to the garbage bin. They're going through a lot of applications rn, best you can do is be patient.

Current MS1 -- I'll post this periodically, but to those of you on continued consideration: there is absolutely still a good chance you get accepted! To echo above posters, MANY of our classmates were on CC before acceptance. It's definitely not like WL or hold at other schools, where WL is essentially a silent rejection. Best of luck to all of you, and feel free to ask if you have any questions.

I think they only do this every 2 weeks - you get this Friday off!
Correct me if I'm wrong, y'all 🙂

 

[medkid123]

I believe tomorrow is an exception!

What's the best way to prepare for MMI-based interviews? So far I have just been planning on going through prompts from youtube/google

 

[ilovetofu]

For those that have interviewed here, did you have to attend the Empathetic Scholar panel on the Friday after your interview? What was it like…formal? Did you have to stay for the whole 90 minutes? I’m wondering if I have to take a day off to attend.

It is required but it was not formal dress. It is expected you stay the whole time.

Thank you both!

I guess tomorrow is the day, huh? Don't know how I got through these past 2 weeks. I know, I know, it could be CC again.

I haven't gotten a call so I already know I won't get an A today, just hoping to stay alive for another 2 weeks at this rate

 

[in-jail_out-soon]

Welp just got the R, confused cause I thought my interview went pretty decently. Looks like my wait was short lived lol good luck to everyone else waiting to hear from them.

 

[aquamarine8787]

So sorry to hear that. Your time will come. I also felt really good after my interview, so this makes me nervous.

 

[deleted1106377]

Drink a beer and move onto the next one. Caught the post interview R two weeks ago. Was meant to be! Good luck the rest of the way.

You’re right. I’ll chill with my friends this weekend and forget about it. Here’s to the next opportunity! Thanks for the kind words and hope it works out for you as well.

 

[Chachius7]

Have interview tomorrow! Any quick tips? IS. 🙂

(Also, I have insight from another school for those in "deferred decision" - usually means you will be kept in applicant pool and compared with other groups across the cycle, not A/R/WL yet.)

Just be yourself! It sounds so basic but it is what they are trying to achieve. Best of luck!!

Did anyone messed up on their secondary, but still got an II? I didn't get to finish my answer for 1 question and im internally crying and thinking maybe that's why I dont have an II yet LOL

I thought my secondary responses were awful and still got II. Don't worry about it too much.

 

[cmahlen]

Think its safe to say if you don't answer a question you won't get an II...

they didn't finish the question, meaning they likely already had a ~3 minute response to it. It's not like they just left it blank. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

 

[deleted897683]

What was the time frame after the secondary that people received interview invites?

 

[wysdoc]

Fort Worth news:
New Med School Creates Residency Positions With Local Hospital

 

[anonymousan]

Do they accept updates?

 

[wanttobeamd22]

What was the time frame after the secondary that people received interview invites?

I was complete 8/4 and received II on 9/2.

 

[Lemon13463]

General interview question for those who already interviewed, were you allowed to take notes during the 2 minute prep?
