Slightly. Application complete email 8/29
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 🤷♂️

is there a groupme for accepted students?
Stats?
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?
Just uploaded to the portal, never emailed. I assume they didn’t respond to you?

I've submitted updates but haven't emailed admissions at all.

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?
Anyone familiar w fiu’s oos waitlist movement?
Curriculum
medicine.fiu.edu
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.
Have my interview coming up and wanted to ask anyone how the interviews are like in nature? And is it traditional?
Traditional, 30 minutes with student and 30 minutes will fiu administrator. Very casual and I really enjoyed the interview.

The deadline for the secondary is on Monday so hopefully, we start hearing back next week or soon after that. I hope everything works out for all of us.

Yes, I would.
I uploaded an LOI yesterday, in state though.
Definitely send it. You have absolutely nothing to lose. I sent one 3 weeks ago and I might send another one next week lol

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.

Seems like no II this month ? :/
Same with FSU. I haven't seen January interviews reported for both FSU and FIU.
Exactly. Both are my targets yet I have no clue what’s going on.

This waiting period to see if we will get an Interview is so much harder than I thought.
Can any current student provide insights into structure of classes? Are most of the classes recorded and allow to be watched from homne, or do they tend to have mandatory attendance in-person? Also was wondering regarding frequency of exams (weekly vs after blocks)? Thanks!
They changed the curriculum, so a first year will need to confirm. But for upperclassmen, our live lectures were recorded and able to be watched later, few were mandatory. We did have mandatory clinical skills/humanities 1-2x/week in the afternoon. Each course had a midterm and final, usually every 2-4 weeks.
