Do you guys know how much time I can expect to wait after submitting a secondary before I hear back from the school?

submitted secondary beginning of september took casper end of september…still waiting for any communication
 
Congrats! When did you interview!? Was the email just rn?
I interviewed October 4th. I attended the virtual engagement day on October 27th. The acceptance email came today at 1:50 p.m. Best of luck to everyone waiting to hear back!
 
Do you only hear back after your virtual engagement day?
I have the same question! Interviewed on 11/29 IS and IE resident. The next available virtual engagement day is 1/27. Just wondering if I am going to have to wait until after that before I hear back about a decision. This waiting part is the worst.

My virtual engagement day is next week and I got accepted yesterday. So I don’t think you’ll have to wait until you attend your virtual engagement day.
 
Looks like they're making their way through early Oct invites then. Congrats on the A!! I'm 10/12 and getting anxious lol
Thank you so much. It seems so. And you got this, good luck!! I thankfully wasn’t anxious because I had no idea when I was going to hear back. So it was a nice surprise haha.
 
Anyone have insight into the interview format? Is it similar to their secondary questions? Whats the best way to prepare? Thanks!

Everyone who does the interview signs a confidentiality form so no one can answer these types of questions, unfortunately. Also their interview email says they have a bunch of questions and they are randomized so you probably won’t get the same set of questions as someone else.
 
How do we sign up for the virtual engagement day? I can't find anything in my AMCAS.

Nothing to do on your end until they email you! They worded it kind of weird in their communication, nothing is actually "through" AMCAS. They just email you an invite and your secondary portal will update with a signup!
 
Anyone still waiting to hear back that attended the 10/27 engagement day? Haven’t heard anything back yet and getting a little nervous lol

Hmm. I already interviewed this week but didn't get the virtual engagement email. Did people who received interviews this week receive the email yet?

A heads up too, (and they mention this in the virtual engagement day) no faculty member ever sees your recorded interview.

It’s scored by Kira talent, the school is sent each applicants score, and that is how they determine who gets in.

A very impersonal and un-holistic evaluation in my opinion…

I also had a very passive aggressive response to a question during my Virtual Engagement day.

Not loving the vibes.
