Is anyone trying to fill the 5000 character limit for each? Seems like a lot

 

[taguylla2]

Does anyone know how OOS friendly is Marshall. i have no ties, but they are really community and rural health focused which is honestly the theme of my application

For those that are curious, this is what I was told in the completion email:

Live virtual interviews for nonresident students are scheduled from January through early February. Interview notices will be sent in December and early January.

 

[mangomouse]

Does when you submit matter for OOS since they don't interview until late?

Thanks! And yes that was mine - no worries, I have been the same way lol! I have a 3.99 GPA and 512 MCAT. Very little volunteering and research due to COVID but solid clinical experience and shadowing. Hope that helps and good luck!

Also the interview was the most chill, relaxed interview ever so if you get one do not stress about it AT ALL!

 

[prognosis negative]

Awesome!! Sounds like you crushed it! Wishing you the best when you hear back

 

[thundercat13]

Does anyone know if Marshall sends waitlist or rejection prior to October 15th? Or will we not get a decision period until after the 15th?

 

[Mr.Shawarma]

I think all decisions start after the 15th

 

[thundercat13]

Any people who interviewed in September hear anything back yet?

[prevet or premed?]

Does Marshall accept update letters? 🙂

sorry to ask again but now that the thread is active again— any ideas as to how long it’ll take for a decision? i’m OOS so i understand that has to be factored in too

I got an interview invite and when I confirmed, Ms. Webb said they would be emailing to request additional documents. My college is out on break this week and my classes are canceled next week so I will be traveling and will not have my computer on me. Can anyone tell me what documents they will request so that I can have those saved to my phone incase they ask before I get back? Thanks!

There will be a virtual interview agreement and a technical standards agreement. They'll also want a copy of your driver's license.
