I think it's normal; my application went under review on 7/12 and the status never changed from "your application is ready"
Thanks! you as well! I am not too disappointed since this was a low yield school but part of me felt a slap to the face because it was a first R lol.
I'm pretty sure mine still says application is ready. I already got II. Don't worry about it.
I'm ED.
Interesting! Mine never changed I don't think.
I’d just not think about it tbh. There isn’t a reason to check your portal so frequently. You will get an email notification if something updates unless your email address has changed or somethingI feel like at this point, I have gaslighted myself and now I am not sure what was the case prior, I feel as though I have seen it say "Your application is under review" before but now I am questioning myself. Oh well.
I checked it because neurotic lol, then I saw some mistakes on my application and decided not to check it again.
Pain
Interestingly, they have their own methodology for selecting candidates too, because people across all sorts of stat ranges get in, so they really make it hard to predict admissions likelihood. I, for one, will be rejecting my own rationalism though and taking it extremely hard if I get rejected.
I just submitted their secondary this morning, yolo
It may take you a few weeks to be under review, but I say still shoot your shot. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
They're pretty transparent about their admission process. If you look at their website, the highest weight is given to grades and LORs and they are predominantly used in the screening process. I imagine LORs can make or break an app, and that is the only part premeds can't really predict.
Yeah and it makes sense given their mission. They probably want to see LORs that speak highly of an applicant's interpersonal and professional skills. It makes sense why some high stat applicants may get rejected. Their LORs may be good but not enthusiastic.
its scary because its the one thing we dont have control over. one of my writers actually shared their letter with me after they sent it. I was definitely honored by what they wrote.
Technically we have some control (we can control who writes the letter), but yeah I feel you. I think that's what also makes it one of the best ways to learn about personal attributes so that is why it is empahsized.
One of my LOR writers is super scary (to me at least, I'm sure he's a good person) and just asking him to write the letter scared the **** out of me. I just crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
They have Debakey scholars program. Maybe look that up?
When did you submit?
I submitted on 7/2
ugh sorry. i think it will happen to most of us in the next couple days. do they email/portal change?
I got an email! It was very nice lol
This gives me fear because our stats are nearly identical
sorry but when were you complete?
Under review like 7/8. Oh well, time to move on lol.
Isn't that better than getting rejected? Or is that what others have been saying when they got rejected.
