International II via email, complete 7/27
Same I believeFor those that got an interview to Cleveland Clinic, did you guys see a spot to add a picture? Or is it the same picture that we uploaded to the secondary app?
Definitely make sure you know how to describe your research clearly and its real-world applications. The majority of my interview was discussing my research experience and future goals in medicine. I would say it was a bit more formal than the UP interviewanyone have interview tips or can talk about how the interview at cclcm compares to the UP one? got alt-listed at UP so unsure how to approach the cclcm interview....
Yeah same. I got a lot more behavioral and situational questions somehowTo contrast that, mine was much more relaxed for some reason. Research was discussed, but not a huge focus from what I remember.

INTENT specifically? Anytime tbh. If you meant interest then probably end of the year after interview season begins to wrap up+2. Also does anyone have any idea on what the optimal time to send an letter of intent would be
Intent lol. Fs tyINTENT specifically? Anytime tbh. If you meant interest then probably end of the year after interview season begins to wrap up
nice yeah you got this! just wanna make sure since I have seen some confusion between those two on hereIntent lol. Fs ty
wanna explain the difference to me lol? I think I get that intent = first-choice / informal commitment to attend if you get in ? But what is the difference with timing of sending this vs letter of interest ??nice yeah you got this! just wanna make sure since I have seen some confusion between those two on here
yeah so thats basically it as far as significance. people say an intent letter is not legally binding and whatever but I say just pretend it is when deciding whether and where to send one or not i.e. you should really only send an intent letter to your unequivocal #1 choice and know that you are basically committing to attending if you get in over everywhere else. again, not legally binding but like yk...medicine is a small world and it is better to be honest and stuff. different schools have different value on interest letters. for example, Mayo specifically says only send an interest letter if they're your top 3. other schools don't make any such categorization. you can technically send a letter of interest to every school on your list, but then that is BS and the schools know it. so, I think it is better to wait until later to send it once you've been on a few interviews and you can choose a few schools to narrow down to, send letters to, and explain to them why you like them more over the other places you have seen (without being super specific or something).wanna explain the difference to me lol?

It wasn't the most conversational but not a stress test or anything. Definitely know your research well because they'll ask you specific Qs about it. But an equally substantial portion of my interview was different topics.Hi All! For those of you who have interviewed, what was the vibe? I am seeing on this thread that it was maybe slightly less "grilling you about your research" than I thought it would be... also, do we get our interviewers in advance? Thank you!!!

You can find the names of your interviewers in the portal but there's no expectation to know much about them.
February onlyDid they say when they were planning on releasing A's? Is it the same timeline as the UP?
