Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
if you search on the schools's site for med school faculty/staff you should be able to find them, or if not attach 2 .pdf notes (labeled by name of interviewer) to an email to admissions office and ask them to kindly forward them to the interviewers.
They sent an email after the interview saying to send thank you letters as PDF attachments to [email protected] with the interview name and they would pass it along to the interviewer. It was in the email that had the post-interview survey
I don't think i received the post-interview survey. I interviewed on last Friday the 5th so maybe it will be sent soon?
Same here
Hmm that's weird. I interviewed 10/29 and it was sent right after the interview day ended.
What date is your interview if you don't mind me asking?
I have not heard of any. Unfortunately, last year very few if any were given out after Oct, 15th. Everyone just had to wait for the match. But its a different year and who knows what good things can happen.
Hi @Akela98 - for the first time TMDSAS published a report on how many people get pre-match offers. It's only about 1 in 7. Here's the link #46
Congrats! Hope y'all kill it. When were you guys complete if you don't mind sharing?
Complete July 28
I was also complete around late july/early august
Was the only ii date available for you December 3rd?
A school may try to fill an early date completely before opening up another one
It was
Actually going to decline and hope someone here gets it
II, Completed on June 14th. wow... it's been 5 months. Maybe your decline helped me lol thanks
I think some schools are moving extremely slowly this cycle.
I meant more in terms of changing your course enrollment or degree completion. I'm a non-trad applicant, and I had genuinely hoped to complete a 2nd bachelors degree en route to earning all my med school pre-requisites but it just does not look like it will be financially possible (I had to borrow private loans just to pay for this semester, and also drained my savings. I need to keep what little savings I have left to be able to pay to move for school next summer). I have completed all the pre-reqs as well as a previous undergrad degree, so I am hoping they would let me change my spring enrollment plans, but I was not sure. I don't know how common a request this is, since most traditional applicants, even with a gap year, just complete the one degree.
Plans do change, and as long as you have completed the pre-reqs for this school it should not affect your admission offer. You still might want to email them with a brief description of your change in plans, to say that in light of having an offer of admission you have decided not to continue working towards a second bachelors degree.
I was in a similar position last year it's really not a big deal. I was planning to finish my 2nd bachelor's if I didn't get accepted but when I got my acceptance I dropped the classes I was planning for the spring. I just sent in my transcripts and as long as you completed all of your prereqs and it matches what you listed in TMDSAS you're good, even if your future courses don't match what you end up completing.
Congratulations!! Would you mind sharing when you interviewed?
I'm declaring this your week, @Rafa_Nadal10 !
I interviewed 11/5
Congrats! Was the acceptance into any dual degree or special programs? FMAT, MD&E, MD/MPH?
Just the traditional MD program; my understanding is that the special program applicants also hear back at the same time with their MD decision
I also declined a couple days ago via email, but never received a response acknowledging. Did you? I just want to make sure my message went through.
I just got an II today and that was the only date for me!
Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
I have! I was offered $20,000 about a week after my pre-match offer.
I was, but it is tied to participating in the FMAT program.
I am not, but I assumed the offer was due to my interest in rural medicine.
