Can someone explain what is up with the weekly rounds? Are those the dates that the school sends out invitations?
Wooooh congrats! That's amazing! Would you mind sharing your LM?OOS A today, interviewed 11/29
Congrats! If you don’t mind my asking: are you SDA? Do you know your LM? And when were you complete?Hi everyone! I'm new to SDN, but I interviewed 11/29 and got my acceptance call on 12/14.
There is a Facebook group if you search up: Loma Linda University School of Medicine Class of 2028 AcceptedIs there a groupme group for accepted students?
In the same boat but submitted mid-July 😭Guys I am starting to lose hope. This thread is very slow and in general I feel like this cycle schools have been much slower. I was submitted on Oct 13th and I have not heard anything back since. Is there still hope for me? This is my first cycle and I tell you - this waiting game sucksssssssss. LOMA LINDA COME ONNNNNN

Yeah I feel like this cycle doesn’t match up at all with previous years, at least based on forumsGuys I am starting to lose hope.

yes i am SDA! i honestly don’t know my LM score but my MCAT was 509CONGRATS!!!!!! Are you SDA? Also, what was ur MCAT if you don't mind sharing?
How many days after the invitation did you book your interview? I am curious to know how long usually someone has!for anyone who has interviewed here, is there any advice you can give? how was the overall vibe of the interview?
I am a AdventHealth Regional Campus student as well. Very well connected within my class so I stay in touch with people who stayed at Loma and people in Kettering. Our experience here is by far significantly better. We are treated better, our education is great, and there is a $60,000 tuition stipend that was just confirmed out through the class of 2028 (maybe further, but I think they determine that on a year by year basis)Which campus has the best rotations? the one in CA or the ohio one? Does anyone know anything about the campuses?
To be honest, a majority of students at LLU drink and probably indicated that they do not on their application. I really don't think it matters and it very likely will not come up in your interviewHey everyone I have a question about the behavioral expectations question . I am a non SDA Christian . I am very devout in my faith and active in my church . I do however drink wine on occasion if I’m out to dinner or at an event like a wedding. I don’t drink often but I feel reluctant to even submit my secondary because I’m wondering if this will be looked at negatively and detour them from considering me for an II . Does anyone have any experience with this ?
To be honest I do not think so. There is an open house coming up for all the schools including the school of medicine, so maybe that. Not entirely sure though. I am happy to answer any questions that y'all might have though. I try to check periodically on here when I get a breather between rotations hahaDo any current students know how we can learn more about your school? Are there virtual advising or informational sessions we can attend?
Don't sweat it. I know it's nerve-wracking, we all went through the same miserable process. Retrospectively, what I can recommend that you do is ENJOY YOUR LIFE. You literally do not have to do anything, it's one of the last periods in your life where this will be the case. Enjoy the time you have with family and friends. If God wants you to end up at Loma Linda, you'll get in. Simply trust Him and trust the process, take one day at a time.Guys I am starting to lose hope.

they actually booked it for me it’s at the end of the month. it’s nice that it’s not too far away but i still have time to prep!How many days after the invitation did you book your interview? I am curious to know how long usually someone has!
The interview vibe is nice! I enjoyed both conversations with my interviewers. The best advice is to have examples of stories for traits that would make you a good candidate (i.e., Conflict story and how you resolved it). Furthermore, they make the interview a conversation. Best of luck with your interview!!!for anyone who has interviewed here, is there any advice you can give? How was the overall vibe of the interview?
Nope - nothing. This is quite slow and slightly frustrating but what can we do! They said they started sending out rejection letters starting from the beginning of January thoAny recent interview invites?
Yikes okay, I guess not hearing anything is better than the rejectionNope - nothing. This is quite slow and slightly frustrating but what can we do! They said they started sending out rejection letters starting from the beginning of January tho

Hey all, MS1 at LLUSM here. I got my interview invite on 01/30/23 and accepted on 05/09/23. Many of my classmates with a similar timeline. There is a lot of late-cycle churn. Try not to stress about it too much.is loma linda still sending out II?
