Received the A on 10/18 at about 3 pm! Complete 7/27, II 7/28, Interviewed 10/11. LM 72, OOS.
The whole day was very fun/chill. The first half of the day is basically dedicated to calming you down lol. Everyone gets interviewed by the med students at the same time and those are very quick and casual. We all chatted somewhere outside on my interview day, maybe for like 20 mins. My faculty interviewer was also insanely nice and asked zero stressful questions. It lasted around 40-45 mins, but went by fast because it was a great convowould anyone who’s already interviewed be able to share their interview experience? were the interviewers chill or did they grill u? my interview’s this week and it’s the only in-person interview i have so it’d calm my nerves to know sort of what to expect haha

I need to send an update letter I guess ugghhh when did u send yours?OOS II!! Super excited. Sent them an update letter and only available dates were in Feb
Where did you submit the update letter?OOS II!! Super excited. Sent them an update letter and only available dates were in Feb
Hey if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is an update letter?? I have been seeing it everywhere, and is it only when you have something new to add to the application or can you just send a letter letting the school know you are interested....OOS II!!

Typically schools prefer you have something to add to your app. I wouldn’t personally do it if you don’t have something to add, schools can get annoyed by that. But that’s just meHey if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is an update letter??

I would include everything new, new pubs and presentations in addition to new volunteering and clinical experiences, even big extracurricular activities like clubs or whatnot (run a marathon, write a book, etc.). Do a little research on formatting and make sure that any school you want to send one to accepts updates, because not every school does.is it better if the update letter is research or clinical volunteering related? I joined a community association and have been doing alot of great work in my neighborhood and definitely have enough content to write a letter about it. what do you guys think?
also wondering this for JeffersonWhere did you submit the update letter?
they accept updates sent via email and per their website: “all communications concerning your application, including the interview, should be emailed to: [email protected]. Please include "Attention: Committee on Admissions" in your email subject line. You may also call our offices directly: 215-955-6984.”!!I would include everything new, new pubs and presentations in addition to new volunteering and clinical experiences, even big extracurricular activities like clubs or whatnot (run a marathon, write a book, etc.).

PRE- II R![]()
if you are complete early july and wasn’t hit on this first pre-II r wave, does anyone know if this means you still have a good chance? Or have they given out most of the interview dates?Survived the R wave, complete mid-July.
Fully expecting it this week though.
