Application complete 11/2. Anybody with a similar timeline hear anything yet?
 
Does anyone know how long the admissions email takes to respond? My 5 day deadline is tomorrow and I already emailed them to reschedule my interview but they haven't replied. Am I in the clear or should I email them again before the 5 day deadline? I didn't hit the "confirm" button since I hit the "reschedule" button instead. Any insight would be really appreciated.

They took around a week to respond to my email to reschedule. I just let the 5 original day deadline pass and there were no issues.
 
If current students could chime in, that’d be great! Are the quartile ranks are strictly internal, or visible in some way? Was wondering if it could affect residency app. Also, what % of students get merit-based scholarship and how much do they get?
 
Does anyone know why it takes so long? I submitted secondary around 8/6 and it seems they’ve been stuck in July for so long.
 
Hey! How much do you know about the alternate list process? Is there usually a lot of movement?
They told us it is very variable from year to year and I feel like that is probably true. I know from our list last year there was a lot of movement, I was accepted off of it in mid-May, and even know people accepted way later in June and July. However, I know in previous years only a couple people or so have been pulled from the list. Sorry I can't give you a straighter answer.
 
I am wondering how strict the prereqs are-it's unclear from the admissions requirements website if the suggested courses are all required. I was recently accepted and only took one semester-long math class and am wondering how to proceed. Sorry, I know this is a specific question.
I didn't take any math in undergrad so I think you're more than fine.
 
Hi, can you give any clarity as how the student ranking works? Is it purely internal or does it get shared with residencies? And if it’s internal and not shared, do you know what the purpose of it is?
I'm going to be honest, they haven't been 100% clear with how it works with us either. My assumption is that your quartile (1st - 4th) is reported to residencies. There has been talk that they are getting rid of ranking for the incoming class, but not sure if this has been decided on or not. Does that answer your question?

Yes that is helpful, thank you!
 
Could anyone please let me know what time the interview day ends? I saw when it starts but do not have information about how long it’ll be. Thank you.

My in-person day ended around 1:30, but that included a lunch after the interview part.

Thanks a lot. My interview is virtual and the start time is listed at 10:50. Was the starting time same for you?
 
There's been talk of cincy getting rid of their internal ranking system. Anyone have info on this and know whether or not this will apply to the incoming class?
 
Can any previous/current students speak to the level of merit-based scholarship aid here? Does it extend to full rides? Half? Or typically smaller amounts?
 
Just wanted to clarify the format for the virtual interview for those that did it this cycle: The only questions asked will be the MMI ones right? None of the typical 'why physician, why us, ecs, etc.'? Thanks!!

I also have this question! Thanks!
 
Anyone have info on this?

I recently zoomed w/ a current M1 on the curriculum team who said that they’re going to try and get this info out before everyone needs to commit to a med school. They’re also reorganizing their curriculum so she said they’d include info on that as well!

Gotcha, thanks for the update!
 
Hi to anyone who already attended the virtual ODEI session did you dress in full business casual ? Or just from the waist up ? I was thinking to wear jeans with business casual top since it’s virtual. Would that be ok ?

My camera was off and so were some others.
 
For those who are interviewing tomorrow or have interviewed, how closely did you follow the system check directions? Some of the directions they have do not align with my computer, and I am really nervous that it will crash. Any input would be appreciated!
 
Can any current medical students speak on the alt list and how likely it is to get off of it, and when they did? Would anybody be able to provide some advice for getting off the alt list? 😢
