ACCEPTED TO THE MD AND MD/MPH PROGRAM APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS AGO!!!!! šŸ˜­

Literally was having a dream where a semi-bald guy Iā€™d never met was telling me UM (MY #1 CHOICE Yā€™ALL) had accepted me, and that they were going to give me the official acceptance call on Monday!!!!
Woke up instantly and checked my emails to find out. This has got to be the best day of my LIFE!!!!! DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE WHEN YOU WORK YOUR HARDEST AND STAY PATIENT. I LOVE Yā€™ALL AND BEST OF LUCK:headphone:

For those wondering, I submitted my app 7/3, ii invite 11/14, ii date 11/17. OOS, LM 71

thank you!

have you tried reaching out to them? If they haven't responded since your interview in October that might mean they forgot to send something out to you, since most others have gotten responses within 1-2 months

I emailed them two weeks ago and was met with silence. Not upset but it is bizarre for everyone to get a response, including Holds/WLs, but be ghosted myself, especially when given clear "hear back" dates. Idk if anyone got a Post-II R yet but could be that.

You might want to try calling them at 305-243-3234 instead of emailing if they aren't responding, hope they reply to you soon!
 
Hi friends! Got the OOS MD and MD/MPH A on Friday and couldn't be more excited! (Potentially very stupid) question for accepted students - the email said to sign a "Letter of Intent" within two weeks of acceptance to secure spot in the class. Is this actually a binding document? I'm assuming they aren't expecting a 100% certain commitment within 2 weeks... this is my first A but I definitely want to wait until I've heard back from a couple other schools before I respond. I emailed the admissions committee but haven't heard back. Thanks!

Not binding. You'll have to eventually have to put down a deposit at some point in the future closer to May.

Ahh congratulations!!! I'm in the same boat but I just got the email today! Was so panicked because they didn't call and I was initially waitlisted, so I thought it may be an error. Excited to turn in the form now that I know it's not binding, so thanks for checking before me šŸ™‚

what is the vibe of the interview day?
Click to expand...
Kinda disorganized. Prepare for quick fire questions. One interview that is traditional (why MD? why Miami? career goals? etc. typical questions). Other interview is more behavioral: what would you do in X situation? can you give me an example of a time you did X? I would recommend preparing 3-5 bullet points to hit for the traditional questions and keep your answers to 2 minutes tops. I talked too long I think, but it still worked out. One of my interviewers did NOT introduce themselves or give any non-verbal / verbal feedback for like the first 20 minutes (might have just woken up), but you gotta just roll with it and project positivity. It starts on East coast time so I was a half zombie (only Californian on my interview day). Prepare meals / snacks / more coffee in advance because there are a lot of breaks (day is too long tbh), but with only an hour and you in formal clothing it's hard to prepare a real meal. Emphasize your experience serving diverse and/or underserved populations.
 
WL: Jan 19th WL notified; nov 17th interview date. didn't feel too hot about the interview so i get it

Hi, current M3 at Miller (MD/MPH).

1) I'm looking for a summer roommate (female only) so DM me if you're an M0 MD/MPH and want somewhere nice to live May-August before deciding on a more long-term Miami apartment.
2) Happy to answer questions for accepted applicants struggling to pick a school šŸ™‚ DM me, will respond when I can.

Note: I cannot answer questions about the application process/waitlists/etc because I don't know what it's like this year.

Hi! What apartment buildings/complexes do a lot of the med students live in? Is it true that most med students live in Brickell?

Brickell is very very expensive lol (like Manhattan prices). I live in Miami right now and if you go west, the rates become a lot more affordable
 
Another_FutureMD said:
Hi! I would say that is no longer true that most students live in Brickell, due to the high rent prices. Living in Brickell is the most convenient for the hospital as it's about a 10 minute metro ride. Rent in Brickell is now typically: $4k+ for a 2b2b, $3k+ for a 1b1b, $2.5k+ for a studio.

A lot of my classmates and underclassmen have moved to Coral Gables and Coconut Grove to save money. Those areas are also along the commuter train, so they are convenient to get to the hospital (20 min ride) but tend to be a better deal. Edgewater and Wynwood are also popular and up-and-coming, but you would have to drive to the hospital. If I were an M1 starting now, I would get a roommate and live in Brickell or move to Coral Gables/Coconut Grove.

Re: general cost of living, outside of rent, it is possible to live more frugally

Thank you for the info! Is there a facebook group or other similar group where students find roommates who are also students?
 
Is there an actual portal for this school to check status? I havenā€™t seen anything since submitting my secondary in August? Or is it just that survey link. Thank you for any info!

I just received an II and itā€™s been so long since I heard from a school so I didnt expect to need to prep for any interviews anymore šŸ˜­ would you say the SDN questions were pretty representative?

They also throw 2-3 random questions at you and some of the interviewers my friends had appeared completely uninterested (they did get accepted though). I just wanted to warn you that the interviewers may seem uninterested but keep going and pushing past it!

Yeah my second interviewer looked like he did not want to be there lol, but by the end he warmed up a little. Got the A.
 
Has anyone recently received MD/PhD interview invitations for the 2/15 date? I figured today would be the last day for them to send out invitations with an appropriate amount of time for prep. Thank you!
