how long did your interviews last?

mine was an hour

 

[mdche]

For those who interviewed, can we send our thank you letters directly to our interviewer, or is it best to upload them on the portal instead?

I sent mine directly to my interviewer.

Stats?

MCAT 520, GPA ~3.5

how long did your interviews last?

A bit less than an hour, because my interviewer had an interview schedule directly before and after my time slot

 

[Nyny212]

How long is the introductory session we have to attend before our interview date?

 

[Nyny212]

Supposed to be up to 90 min but mine ended up being closer to 2 hours. We had a lot of questions in our group, so it ran way over. Try to block out extra time for that too, because it didn't seem acceptable to leave when it was scheduled to end.

Okay thank you!

Anyone know when BU releases decsisions?

They said end of December/early Jan

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

I wish they gave us a specific day 🥲

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

I wish they gave us a specific day 🥲

Wait apparently they said this last year and released decisions mid December. And I guess next week constitutes “late December”

During my info session Dean Goodell said they would be trying to release decisions from their adcom meeting on 11/29 before winter break! She said it would most likely be the last possible day before break lol

So we thinking what, the 22nd?

Yah based on that post and some previous, I think it’ll be 12/22 with a possibility of interviewer calls in the day or two before

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

Wait… so they meet on 11/29, make decisions, but then wait 3 weeks to send them out? @piper23

 

[RocuroniumRedux]

What's the dress code for the overview session with Dr. Goodell or the student panels? Was going to wear business professional but didn't want to stand out

Why do you think you're getting rejected?

Gotcha, thanks. Suit is definitely due for some dry cleaning after shoving it into my work locker but hope it'll serve me one more day haha

I don't think we're actively being evaluated during these anyways

 

[deleted1175672]

When do they release decisions for Dec-Feb interviewees? Does the committee only meet once for each round to decide As?

During my info session, Dr. Goodell said they meet in late Feb and we'll get decisions in March.

 

[lesbianherbs]

IS II, complete late August

 

[medguy0824]

IS II, complete late August

congrats, good to know they're still sending them out

 

[deleted1167274]

I have no idea how it works haha. Maybe 11/29 is when interviewers give evals to adcom and then they make decisions over the next couple weeks? Or maybe they just enjoy the suspense 🤷🏼‍♀️

 

[lesbianherbs]

congrats, good to know they're still sending them out

They originally had only one date available (12/20 which is way too short notice lol), but I emailed and they opened up a bunch of slots into January. I know they interview into February.

 

[deleted1171273]

Why do you think you're getting rejected?

was a joke.

 

[BUSM24Student]

Going to post again, I'm a current M4 at BU. Let me know if y'all have any questions. Will check back periodically. Can also DM me if you want.

 

[dracotarg]

[just.a.premed]

OOS A via phone call this evening! Interviewed 10/20.

 

[lenap3]

Did you guys get calls from your interviewers? [mention]just.a.premed [/mention] [mention]dracotarg [/mention]

 

[deleted1167714]

I'm curious if phone calls will go out throughout this week, or are they done?

 

[mdche]

OOS A via phone call just now! 😭 Interviewed 10/18.

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

I havent gotten a call or anything but i see a tab on portal that says "Matriculation Requirements" - anyone else see this?

 

[deleted1167714]

Did your interviewer call or was it someone else?

 

[deleted1167714]

Wait hasn't "matriculation requirements" always been there?

 

[blueberrysky4]

Wait hasn't "matriculation requirements" always been there?

Ok maybe im wrong, would need someone else to confirm or deny lol

 

[deleted1167714]

Do you see a separate tab on the portal that just says "matriculation" instead of "matriculation requirements"?

 

[Semsemrocks]

Wait hasn't "matriculation requirements" always been there?

I didn’t get an II invite and I have it

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

Yup it says matriculation requirements but i havent gotten an email or anything

 

[deleted1167714]

I do not

 

[blueberrysky4]

My bad sorry bout that guys!

 

[cuddlycactus]

For those who got an A, did your application status change on the portal?

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

The tab I see says "matriculation requirements" but it looks like everyone has it

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

Are they sending out emails for acceptances/rejections/WLs rn or only phone calls for As? wow this is so anxiety inducing ahhhh

 

[mdche]

Did your interviewer call or was it someone else?

My interviewer did!

 

[blueberrysky4]

Mine was an email from my interviewer, and it sounds like official A/R/WL emails will come out later in the week

 

[mediocre_television]

Got the call, see y'all there

 

[lenap3]
