Congrats! How significant was your update and was it also a letter of interest?
Thanks! Pretty significant update imo, including a new clinical job with a few months of experience. It was a letter of interest as well, yes.

Edit: They also referred to the letter in my II ("thank you for your recent letter of interest").

I also sent a letter of interest/update before getting a II, if that helps anyone! Almost identical details to the one by @Haitch_Peetz
Thanks guys. How long was it generally? Like I want to reflect on my experiences but I read that I'm supposed to keep it under a page. So the draft I have now is very brief about the updates, but it has a significantly larger paragraph at the end explaining why I think the school is a great fit for me. I really would appreciate a general guideline on the structure of these things.

I listed 3-4 experiences with 1-2 sentences describing and 1-2 sentences reflecting. Add in a little intro and the letter stuff ("To the AdCom of Larner COM" and "Thank you, Name"), and I reached a full page double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 with default Docs margins. Submitted as a PDF attachment.
 
For the locals, I am an out of stater coming to visit the school for a second look in a couple of weeks, and was wondering which ski resorts are the best near the school? (I have the Epic Pass)
Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

I'm not seeing a place to submit update letters. Is it in the portal somewhere or did you email admission directly to submit an update?

If you have an Epic, Stowe is the best option. Fingers crossed we get some snow soon!

Hey, I thought it went pretty well. Nothing out of left field, and admissions was very warm and welcoming. Interview group was small, only about 10 or 12 people in total. All were nice. I think people will like hearing from the current MS's as well, especially about the two clinical campuses.

They mentioned things have gotten pretty backed up because of the holiday season, and that our group can expect to hear sometime in March. I presume everyone else will hear sooner than that. Good luck everyone!
did they mention anything about how many more interview invites they expect to go out?
 
What is the Deal with update letters here? They are accepted now? If so, how do we send them?
 
Hello! First MMI here - would anyone know if the MMI evaluates our application (e.g., academic performance, volunteer experiences) or our personal characteristics (e.g., ethical judgement, conflict resolution)? Some guidance, without discussing specifics, would definitely relieve anxiety. Thank you! I hope we all get into medical school!

Did OOS applicants get their post-II decisions yet? I interviewed in early October and haven’t heard anything. They said on my interview day that they would start releasing OOS decisions after Dec. 15

Interviewed on 11/04 and haven't heard back, but they said our decisions would likely be mid-January. Hoping for some good news this week!

Hi all! Just sending good vibes; I don’t know about anyone else but I’m starting to get a bit stressed because the I would love to hear back from UVM regarding delayed decision before I start evaluating whether or not I need to reapply next cycle!

Same, I have already started to restudy for the MCAT
 
@Haitch_Peetz congrats!! was wondering if you sent the letter while being on the DD list or were you waitlisted? Also was it a more update letter or letter of interest? On the DD list and would love if Vermont worked out!! PS if you are okay with it I would love if we could message about it :)

It was more of an update letter, but it has some interest vibes lol. I sent it b4 getting an II, so I was just in post-2ndary limbo. Still waiting to hear back post-interview. Feel free to pm if you have any other q's.
 
Any september interviewees with DDs hear back yet? Was hoping to hear back today this wait is brutal
