Fyi - it took a couple weeks before I got my II after my portal changed. Don't worry! They'll get to you!
 
Have any other October interviewees heard back yet? I interviewed 10/14 and thought I should be hearing back today
it seems like they are trying catch up, they told me a 2 week deadline but I heard my decision in 3 weeks, if it continues it could be next friday you would hear

I interviewed on 10/12 and have not heard back either. I have a suspicion that admissions decisions may be given out once a week on Mondays? Could be wrong tho. The waiting game is rough though for sure 🥹

Also interviewed 10/14, and haven’t heard anything yet. I do remember Tricia saying it‘s about 2 or ~2 and a half weeks~ so maybe they’re just running a little behind. I was hoping I‘d hear today too, I’m going a little crazy haha
 
I was recently invited for an interview but there was no dates available to choose from, anyone have a similar experience?

Yes, you have to make sure you click the month and also scroll to the month on the calander. Earliest dates were February

Waitlisted today!!! Idk why I’m super excited about that, but I’m really happy it’s not a rejection! It’ll be agonizing waiting until May, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
 
Pre-II R yesterday. No ties to region but was a bit surprised since a friend of mine who applied and got in last cycle also had no ties to region and had lower stats than me (like she had a 500 MCAT). Oh well, ya win some, ya lose some. I just didn’t expect this school to be my first R of the cycle
 
curiously snooping around to see how medical school content looks like at pnwu. some dude has a quizlet to study his classmates?!?!! 🤣

1 week before your interview you get a more detailed email of what to expect! I had a 1-1 interview (open file) then MMI with another person (closed file)

Wait how can you do MMI with one person? Isn't the whole point of the MMI that you have different reviewers for each station?

Sometimes, yes! I don't know why, but in this case, there's one person that presents the different MMI scenarios
 
Anyone successful in re-scheduling for an earlier interview date? The original email says to just check the portal often for availability, but I have yet to see a single date pop up.

I was looking every few days and nothing was ever available so I gave up.
 
I have an II in February and I noticed that it's in-person. As I would be flying OOS, does anyone know if requesting a Zoom interview would negatively affect your application? The website says that these arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis.

The interview invite email I received stated that all interviews will be virtual this cycle, I’d double check yours to make sure you have the right information! Wouldn’t want you flying out for no reason.

Weird I think I just got confused, I appreciate it!
 
Any advice, without giving specifics, anyone has about the interview?
Don't be afraid to show your excitement for the school (and any school)! This school is my top choice and during the interview I definitely "fan girled" but they smiled and laughed and I ended up getting accepted so it didn't hurt 🙂
