This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Not sure if I am missing something, but are there any additional information sessions on interview day? Or do we only do the interview and watch videos on their website to learn more about the school?

The quartile ranking system here keeps bothering me. This essentially sounds like letter grades in disguise. Sounds like matching EROAD would be difficult here
 
Based on what I heard during my interview, it's my understanding that they weigh the first 2 years(which they're looking into condensing to 1.5 I believe) very minimally in the quartile ranking and really emphasize years 3 and 4. As a result, I did not get the sense that there was fierce competition, and overall the medical students I conversed with both as part of and outside of interview day seemed very happy.

I can’t comment as to other programs, but I feel that this is a good balance between grades and true pass/fail. Along with the reputation of the program, quality of the clerkship sites, and abundance of home residency programs at the school, you’ll be well prepared if you plan on applying for a competitive program.

I think Fleggers is spot-on with their comment.

I interviewed in person last week and during our lunch with school reps, the dean said they were in talks over getting rid of the quartile ranking system. also spoke with a couple of M1s who said they ended up liking the system bc it helps distinguish them for residency apps (but there’s mixed opinions overall in admin it seems)
 
For the extra questions once you get an interview invite, how in-depth did you go for the MCAT prep question? Like should I be listing my weekly plan and what resources specifically I used or talk about a more general strategy?
 
Received OOS II last week (9/27); could someone who has already interviewed in person give a brief rundown of the day?
Based on other ppls comments, besides the MMI portion, there are also tours with current students and meetings with reps of various dpts. (student affairs, DEI, etc). I'd love to know the general order of events on interview day since I couldn't find any info in my portal. If anyone could give any insight, that'd be great thank you! (Also I was complete 7/24, LM 72, and got the DEI emails lol for those who like knowing metrics)
 
For those that interviewed already do you remember if they told us we can send update letters up to 2 weeks after our interview or did they say to send them within a week? I had my interview last week and haven't sent one yet. Wondering if it's too late now to send or not?
 
Does anyone who interviewed remember the list and ranking of items they consider when evaluating our applications? (like primary, secondary, interview, updates, pre-interview questionnaire, etc.) It was in one of the interview day presentations but they never sent the info out to the interviewees afterwards
 
Don’t think it was a ranked list but yes it was all of the above factors

They said it would be 6-8 weeks before you receive a decision so I think you’re still good to submit an update. I’m sure the sooner the better but you should be fine
 
Did anyone find their MMI to be kinda difficult compared to other schools?
 
To anyone who has already interviewed: Are we allowed to take notes about the scenarios on a piece of paper to help us as we answer the MMI questions?

They said if you interviewed in September or October you would hear back in December, but in past years I see they let people know right after 10/15. I hope they do that again this year, but why then say December? Uggh!

I interviewed in the beginning of September and they never told us that… I’m curious when they’ll release decisions then. I kinda assumed it’d be October 16th but now I’m not sure haha

Also interviewed end of September and they said 6-8 weeks. But in past years, early September was October 15th and late September was October 30th.
 
I vaguely recall them saying October and I interviewed in early September - hopefully, I'm remembering correctly because aaa the wait is killing me

I was under the impression I would receiving a decision today, I interviewed 9/7 and have not heard
 
Maybe decisions aren’t coming out today after all. Sitting on 2 holds/waitlists today so could use some good news haha
 
Alternate list, OOS, interviewed early September. I don’t see which tier. Maybe they got rid of the tier system this year?
