Has anybody that applied to the Utah campus heard back yet?
 
Members don't see this ad :)
II on 9/1, completed the interview on 9/9, accepted yesterday (9/21)!
 
I did not, they gave me a phone call. Apparently if you get a phone call then you’re accepted, but if you receive an email then it is deferral or waitlist.
 
If I applied for UT but would prefer the CO campus do I need to submit another application?

Anyone heard back lately? I submitted my secondary early August and was complete late August/early September and haven’t heard anything.
 
Any current RVUCOM-SU students? I was just accepted to the Montana campus and was hoping to ask some questions to students at a branch campus, being that we don’t have any students to ask up here :)
 
Hey everyone! I'm a current 3rd year on the Utah campus. Happy to answer any questions any of you may have!

I believe the admissions committee meets every two weeks, and then acceptances have to be approved by the dean. I wouldn't start worrying about it just yet, but I completely understand the anxiety of waiting for it.
 
For those who have had interviews, what month was your application completed?
 
Just got the call! My first A!!! I’m a reapplicant and had 0 interviews last cycle so this feels so surreal 😭😭

Did anyone else get the email about the accepted student day? I'm planning on going.
 
debating whether or not I should interview at this place, what do you guys like about the school?
 
My application has been complete for a while now and at this point if they are going to reject me I just wish they would send the rejection sooner rather then later

This was the first school I got an interview with, I had an interview with two professors from the school, one MD and one DO. I had questions that were a mix of somewhat generic interview questions (why do you want to be a doctor, how did you respond to failure, etc) and other questions about specific portions of my personal statement/application (I had something very specific in common with one of my interviewers, I think we were matched up deliberately). All in all I thought the interview was very fair and allowed me to showcase myself well. I also had a lot of time to ask questions.
Interview day was very bare bones, I basically showed up in the zoom meeting, they said hi, and then almost immediately moved us to breakout rooms with our interviewers, and then when I was done I just left. Let me know if you have any other questions!

My interview experience was super chill! I had one DO and one volunteer for the school interview me. They were both so nice and easy to talk to! The first 5-10 minutes of my interview was small talk so it was a nice way to ease into the questions. It was a pretty basic interview that lasted about 30 minutes and 15 minutes for me to ask them questions. They asked why RVUCOM, why medicine, and why DO. They asked a little bit about my experiences section on my primary. They asked me to define professionalism, a time that I was unprofessional, and a scenario question. I think that was about it! It was honestly pretty relaxed and the interviewers gave positive feedback to my answers and kinda bounced off of things I mentioned so it felt more like a conversation than an interview. It made me appreciate the school a lot more.

I interviewed October 19, so hopefully I will get the decision this week!

Good luck!!! You'll do great!!

Same, I had my letters and secondary complete early August and its been silence. MCAT and GPA are competitive based on the class of 2026 class profile and I have tons of meaningful EC's that seemed to line up perfectly with RVU's mission. I've interviewed at a few other places but am super disappointed with the silence from RVU

Thank you so much!! This is super helpful. I guess it work be great if I can review my application and be really familiar with everything I wrote. I hope my interviewers are good and people I can connect with. This is my second interview and my first interview had no doctors which kind of sucked
