Dell’s secondary is a video response and they take more time to invite than the other schools. They invite fewer than the other schools.
Ah, I wanted to ask here because someone on reddit stated they received one the afternoon they got the receipt email of transmission from Dell, and I thought WOW that was fast.
When were you verified/submitted?
That's the point, @Azn2021, that's the point!
They review apps over a period of several months and you could still get a secondary invitation later. While waiting I'm sure you have other ones to write!They screen on stats as well right? I have a 3.5cgpa, 3.3sgpa, and 505 MCAT but have not received a secondary. My app was transmitted May 26th, I guess that means I was probably screened out right? I knew it was a long shot anyway but oh well.
With covid am sure far more people send their apps earlier this year than usual and their screen will take longer, they don't screen for stats, they screen for mission fit. People with High stats that get love and attention from UTSW and Baylor have been snubbed by Dell because they do not fit Dell's mission etc.They screen on stats as well right?

How Safe is Austin, especially around rotation sites?
i am not sure Dell starts interview invites this early?
It has been different every year so I can't predict for Dell.
Interview invites start last week of July this year according to MSAR
I was confused on that! The text says "Interviews BEGIN the last week of July".
When you say “text” are you referring to text messages? I know some schools are communicating with applicants this way. If so- how do you sign up to receive text messages from Dell?
The text as in the words typed on MSAR under "Interviews". Dell does not send text messages that I know of, but they do send out II via phone contact.
Yeah I’m not too sure how accurate MSAR is for interview information it also says PLFSOM gives out II early July, but next week is going to be half way through July already & I haven’t heard of any II sent out yet… maybe MSAR is just estimates? Not sure :/
MSAR is usually the best resource for things like this, but on occasion it can be outdated or not updated from the last cycle.
I dont believe they are reading recs before issuing a secondary. Less than 50% get secondaries if I am not mistaken.
From your experience, what do you think means for Dell. I feel they have been making great strides as a school. Should we be more critical when considering for matriculation? Thanks
I think it will seem odd to those already there, because Dr. Johnston has been the main architect of the school culture since before it even opened.
Either he is starting another school or going to a bigger program, planning to emulate Dell.
was wondering this too, I haven't seen one reported since like early June
I don't think they do as on past threads people have commented they received a secondary without having all their LORs in.
when were you processed/transmitted?
Late June!
CONGRATS!! When is the interview for? Also is it in person? The website and email have conflicting statements.
Thank you so much! The virtual interview is for late August
