anyone know the structure of the MD/MPH interview? Is it multiple interviews?

It’s no different than a regular interview. They may just incorporate some MD/MPH questions into one of your interviews

I wouldn’t read into it. You get reviewed at the committee meeting and scored out of 5. After this your application isn’t reviewed again — you’re just on a list with that number and you get in if you crack the top 20 on the alternate list.

Is there any way to get your app re-reviewed after this? My update and letter of intent were not put into my app until after I made it to the alt list
 
I submitted my application back in July, and it still has not been scored. I tried calling the Office of Admissions to politely ask if there was a status update and if they knew when my app would be looked at, but they didn't really answer my question and just advised me to "look at [my] portal" which still says "under review". Can anyone who contacted the Office of Admissions to get their applications scored provide any advice? I just feel like I'd be a good fit for UMiami given my background/interests, and I'm a little frustrated that they haven't even bothered to look at my app yet

I am not sure how update letters work here tbh. I’m sure they consider them though

They (all ~60 adcom members) probably rate you 1-5 based on file reviewer comments and interview day

Anyone else interview on 1/9 and not hear anything (not even alt list) or have the portal message change from "Your applications and interview report will be reviewed a final time..."? I am so confused haha, this doesn't align with what they told us on the interview day (hearing either an acceptance or alt list after the 1/25 committee meeting)

I Interviewed 12/12 and I haven’t heard anything

How do you know it was 20? Do they have the number of acceptances listed somewhere?

They told us.

They score everyone. Rank them. They accept the top 20, everyone else is on the alternate list. They interview more, re-rank, top 20 get As, and on and on and on...

“Your applications and interview report will be reviewed a final time by the Admissions Committee at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

Decisions are usually made within 4-6 weeks of the interview. You will be notified by cell phone, e-mail and/or standard mail.”

The first sentence is throwing me off about the ‘reviewed a final time’ - anyone know what this means?

if you haven't heard back 2-3 days since the day they tell u your app will be reviewed (they give u the date during interview day), then this could mean ur on the alt list. i had the same msg and didn't hear back when they told me i should hear back, just got the A so don't give up hope 🙂
 
Yo I just got my A yesterday. If we reply to the email to reserve our seat in their class, Is it binding?

Do they actually score everyone because I've been sitting here since July unscored lol

I meant people with an interview (app score + interview score + maths = final score)

Actually, I don't believe there's an "interview score". They re-review your app/re-score it across the admissions committee (taking into consideration notes from interviewers - there isn't a hard metric/score for your interview performance though - just notes) and then average it all out to get a final score for you. Your initial app score (used to call you for an interview) is not actually used in this final score (much more people look at your app for the final score than for the interview call).

Do you mind sharing your stats?
 
Random, but did anyone else get a photo of all the participants after your interview day? Like a screenshot of the zoom call and stuff in a frame and captioned and all? It just feels kinda odd to me because like…what if they reject us all? That’s a ****ty memory to have lol

And I don’t mean to imply anything by this, I just have this thing I don’t like about schools making you fall in love with them while you learn all about them while you prep for their interview and they show you all these great things on interview day (which made sense when interviews were in person I guess but less so now) and then rejecting you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i don't think so, it's just to save your seat. they stick to the amcas system so you can still decide later if you want to attend or not

Yeah I think we all got the picture, I thought it was very cute of them. Of course schools are trying to get everyone they interview to fall in love w them, they don’t know who they’re taking vs not yet lol.

true, but I just feel like since everything’s virtual and you don’t necessarily have to worry about whether or not people can make it back to the campus, etc., they could save a lot of the promotion for a virtual second look for accepted students, sort of like they did for undergrad? Especially since we’ve already expressed an interest in the school by applying and paying and interviewing. Idk. Just feel like it would save some broken hearts lol.
