Anyone else have a really short experience review? Mine started 10/5 and ended 10/7 (complete date 7/24).
 
For people who interviewed- what’s the group activity portion of the interview like?

Not sure but they do seem to send them out all at once. I completed my PI 2 weeks ago and nothing on my end. Not expecting much after that awful PI interview anyway lol. Oh well

after the third "WMed Wednesday" after my PI of not receiving an II, I thought I was finally doing ok with not getting too down on myself about it.

and then WMed sends out a tweet about their forensic pathology fellowship, aka their department that originally put them at the top of my list. Happy no bones day everyone, because this **** still HURTS.

(yes, I know that I could still get an II and that no matter where I end up attending I can still apply for that fellowship. It still hurts.)

I got it just after 12pm! I even double-checked my portal after the wave of IIs this morning and saw no change, so they really only update the portal right when they email you

Just got my virtual II today 10 minutes ago!

I did my phone interview on 9/27 and was complete with secondaries and everything on 8/17. OOS with a 3.7 GPA and 518 MCAT

For those who got an II today, the earliest date I could sign up for was Dec 9th. Is that the same for you guys?

II today! Phone interview was 9/28. OOS applicant but serving through AmeriCorps in MI with some ties to SW MI region. Thought my phone interview went really badly so am happily surprised! If you walk out of phone interview feeling like it didn’t go well, don’t lose hope everyone!

Got a phone interview invite today, complete 8/18. However, I am looking to withdraw my application. I can't find a withdraw feature in the portal. Is the preferred way by email? Thanks and best of luck to everyone this cycle

I'd email them if you can't find anything in the portal. The admissions office are really nice and I'm sure they won't mind.

Congrats to all of the PIs and IIs today!

I am confused about the phone interview, is it going to be like a med school interview (Why med, etc)? or Is it gonna to be more like a job interview asking those situational questions? Never have phone interview before, kind of curious...I would really appreciate if you can give some advise!

Without disclosing anything confidential, I’d say the interview is sort of a mix of a typical medical school interview and a job interview. Having some anecdotal stories in your mind is helpful. I would practice answering common interview questions and record your audio. Think about tone, voice inflection, and how you come across from your voice alone. Send some of your practice recordings to friends/family/etc. who can also tell you how you come across. Your typical interview prep for med schools will help, but there are some questions not designed to be able to prepare for. Make sure to take a deep breath and take your time to compose your thoughts on the real deal. You got this!
 
does anyone know how many people are admitted after the interview for the incoming class of roughly 80-90?
