2023-2024 Florida International (FIU)

Discover Your Odds of Getting into Medical School
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I was accepted a couple weeks ago. I have seen online with many US programs that there are problems with attrition, professionalism, general support, and student interactions with admin. Is this something to worry about at HWCOM and how have they changed over the last couple years to improve? This weighs heavily on my decision.

Has anyone been waitlisted? Do you know when they may call off of the wait list? Thanks

I have been.. unfortunately. Assuming it’s May. I also don’t think FIU is that friendly with their WL movement, someone correct me if I’m wrong

I submitted around the end of July and have the same stats and mission fit, and I’ve received nothing. Guess we need to keep waiting folks. Lots of my friends last cycle received invites in January so I assume this school tends to have a later cycle 🤷‍♂️

ive heard 25-35 pp for in state, its a commuter school so a lot in IS applicants from FIU end up staying there. Not sure about OOS
 
Has anyone submitted an update to their app via the portal and then emailed the [email protected] email to confirm if they received it or not? If so, did they ever reply to you?

I think it's been pass/fail

I believe you're right. The stepUp curriculum started with class of 2027 . So only has been used for a year. Just wondering if this is better then what was used years prior. It seems the older schools use the pass/fail which is preferred by students.
 
We were p/f before the new curriculum. If you received 75+ in the course, you passed and it is reported "P" on your transcript. We were ranked. I am not sure how the new grading systems works.

I read online that although it’s p/f there are still class rankings…

Is that consider students being ranked in quartiles?

Older students were p/f and ranked in quartiles. I do not know about rankings for those under the Step Up curriculum, might be a good question for Admissions.

Can I ask, when you send a LOI do you include updates? Because I'm super interested in FIU, but don't have any major updates (just more volunteering and started working at a romance book store LOL). I feel like a LOI without updates is kind of moot. Any advice?

So I included the updates to my LOI. My updates were new grades from the winter semester and a new volunteering experience.

I can see why you would think it’s kind of moot, but we haven’t received an II and April is around the corner. What do you have to lose at this point, especially if FIU is one of your top choices. That’s my mentality lol.

Just weird how nobody's reported an interview here for a while. Last year's thread was pretty active.

A letter of interest and an update letter are two different things. A letter of interest is for you to let the school know you are interested while the update letter is to provide updates when it comes to volunteering... or whatever the case might be.

Same with FSU. I haven't seen January interviews reported for both FSU and FIU.
