I am not terribly familiar with the Canadian application process, however UMSOM only interviewed 3 out of 222 international students last year. While you can submit your secondary today, waiting 2.5 months to complete a secondary does not reflect well on your dedication to this school, and will likely impact your odds.
crying tears of joy omgHuge congrats!
Congrats! When did you interview?
Thanks! I interviewed 9/25. LM 72.
Congrats!!!! when were you complete?
Thanks! I was complete at the end of July.
Do you know when people completed in August usually hear back about interviews?
i would be wary about referring to prior years, as this years cycle is quite different. @horsegirl_doctor submitted 08/05 and received an II just last week, and that is the only early-August II I have heard of so far.
Congrats!! Were you IS?
I did too and I am panicking haha. Not sure what it means. Although is seems that previous years decisions were not necessarily in exact order of interviews. We probably still have a chance to hear good news by Wednesday I think
Thank you!! Sorry, I should have mentioned. Yes I am IS.
Same here.
Yes, the morning of (~9:30 for me) the names were in an emailed schedule and listed in the application portal.
I’m in the same boat, one of my friends at UMSOM said that anecdotally, decisions are slowly released through the week rather than all at once because they call.
Amazing, thank you so much!!!!
LOL literally just got the email. posting this manifested ig
I'm with you there. Got the call (IS) yesterday, but the email only came today. Lost some sleep last night wondering if that call was real, lol
not august but i submitted 7/24 and got an II on 9/20. i'm in-state
ah man I'm dreading receiving a hold or R. don't know how UMSOM's schedule for interviews is running but I'm IS and submitted first week of August - haven't heard anything
In the same boat as you. I know last year, they sent out the pre-II R's mid December, so I wouldn't make too many assumptions before then.ah man I'm dreading receiving a hold or R. don't know how UMSOM's schedule for interviews is running but I'm IS and submitted first week of August - haven't heard anything
I submitted 8/5 and got an interview invite on 10/11 and interviewed yesterday. Hopefully they are just taking their time going through August submissions and you get one soon!
Hopefully you get the A! What were your stats like? IS/OOS?
Thanks! I'm IS and my LM is 72, WARS ~88
I don't want to put any bad vibes out into the universe but I was wondering if anyone knows when UMSOM starts sending out waitlist and R notifications post-interview?
IS and LM is 72 as well. Not sure what my WARS is but I was completed 8/17 so hopefully I hear back soon
Wow, quick turnaround! I interviewed 10/18 and was braced to wait at least a month but now wondering if it could be as soon as next week. Bigtime congrats!!
I got this as well, yesterday. I'm a reapplicant and I remember I had this lock and "under review" in my portal last time. Eventually, it turned into a "Hold" and like a day or two later I got rejected. Based on other responses throughout the years and my own anecdotal experience, I'm fairly certain we're rejected. Hope this gives others in the same boat some semblance of closure.View attachment 376561
I applied ED and haven't heard anything yet. Today I was checking my portal neurotically, and saw the infamous status bar (picture for reference). I've gotten this in past cycles, and typically it followed by a pre-II rejection a week or two later (this was February-ish and I applied RD). I found out from a previous ED candidate who was accepted at Maryland and a current M1 that they received their II 09/07/2022 and interviewed a week later. This is definitely a vent post, but I don't know if I should take this as them actually just reviewing my app, or take it as what it's meant in the past. I hate this process
Nope, RD too.
When were you completed?
8/3
What were your stats if you don’t mind me asking? And do you know if all “rejected” applicants get that lock logo or no?
I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this but I figured out that every time you resubmit the primary AMCAS app*, the UMSOM portal updates the LORs date to the new (most recent) submission date.
