I'll say as someone who has met a fair chunk of people who will interview you - you are in good hands! The interview is low stress, and is there to see you succeed. Have an idea of how to answer the typical MMI questions and you'll be golden. Good luck, have fun, and I hope to see you after the ungodly long orientation next year. <3
Thank you :') we all got this!!
Omg really? Why is that?
In state applications get reviewed together and receive their decision in December all at once. Then after that it’s only waitlist slots that are offered.
Wow thats crazy. For Oos Applicants they continue reviewing them until the end of the cycle?
Totally could be wrong but based on last years' threads, it seems like they continue to review them?
They mentioned that they are campus blind when making the admissions decisions.
Wait I'm confused. When do you get to choose the campus. There was no option for me to do that on the secondary. I actually am just now learning there is another campus.
After your interview they send you a link to select your campus (from what my interview email confirmation stated; I interview this Friday.).
GL Thiccy!!! u got this 😤
Are NBME questions used throughout school? Or are exams created by in-house professors and mostly unrelated to Step 1?
Exams are created by our faculty and are not NBME questions. Most are said to be NBME "style" i.e. case vignettes with imaging, lab results etc. to interpret but not strictly from any official source, as far as I know. During M1 and M2, we do take 5-6 exams that are all official NBME questions. Those exams are cumulative and curated to our most recent course and usually are the day after our non-cumulative class exam, so they encourage us to just take it and see how much we've retained instead of stressing and overstudying. It's worth maybe 5% to the course grade so certainly low stress and then you get a score report for how well you did relative to the class in different topic areas.
For anyone who interviewed in mid-September, they said we'll hear back in November.
For those who interviewed in August they said we would hear back after October 17th, but they didn't give us an exact day.
Same. Guess we just have to wait patiently! If I recall correctly they said we would hear around mid-October but no definitive date was given.
based on past two yrs, it looks like the first day we may hear back from UVM is this coming monday!
The suspense is killing me 😂 😭
Me too! This is the first school I interviewed at and am hoping for that A. Still haven't heard anything and am hoping we hear this upcoming Monday
Same boat lol
ayyyy brother
interviewed 9/21 and feel the exact same. stay strong!!
Is it akin to WL?
I think it’s sort of like that…what does their website say? (I’m just remembering from a few years back when my child applied).
Yup, I believe it is! It says Accepted, WL, or Rejected can be your post-II status
