My page changed 9/1 and still no official email.
Update, got the official accepted checklist. Canadian, 512, 3.87, interviewed 9/11
That's at least a good news. I submitted 08/13 and it have not heard anything from them 🙁 and I am in-state. This is my top choice too.
They said in the email, "Your application was deemed to possess enough merit to be held for future review and this should be viewed as a positive result" so that's how I'm choosing to view it! It's not a no haha. Hope you hear something soon!
are you in-state or out of state?
Out of state but from the southwest!
They told my interviewing group that the admissions committee meets once a month and decides on everyone who had interviewed before that day then
How would you say the experience was?
Not op, but I'd assume they felt stressed.
Probably my least favorite interview thus far. Not conversational whatsoever. I was asked question after question and their response each time was "....thank you." The interview day seemed so unorganized IMO, the student panel was one student who was in her car and kept getting kicked out of the zoom because of Wifi connectivity issues it seemed? All of it combined just made a bad impression on me, didn't feel super welcoming either
I’m sure you’ve done great. I haven’t had that experience yet until this interview! It seemed forced and they wouldn’t really piggyback off of anything I said and if I tried to relate to/converse about something they mentioned, it was quickly shut down or the topic was changed. Weird vibes lol
So you didnt have the "thank you" experience then. Guess I'll have to wait to find out. sigh.
and thank you 😭 Im sorry you had that experience. I hope your other ones go better/are friendlier 🙂
Wow I'm shocked at everyone's responses. TBH it wasn't stressful at all.. my interviewers were super nice and it went really well... Obvi can't say much but check SDN common interview questions.... there is one that you'll notice 1000xs. They aren't lying and be prepared lol.
yea student interview did not leave best impression...... also the singular question on everyone's minds just got dodged the entire time....
What was the question they dodged, if you don't mind my asking?
I agree. I thought everything was pretty relaxed and left a good, not great, impression
It is not too late. Better to send the secondary then living with the regret that you never applied
I applied to 15 aacomas and 5 tmdsas.
when did you submit secondary?
+1 OOS accepted interviewed sept 22nd
I feel that! But FYI if you do the AAMC fee assistance, some TMDSAS schools will consider it. I was not expecting them to but McGovern and UTMB did. For reference, I wrote down this school as costing $50 for the secondary. I'd say look at the school's website and see if you are really interested and if the $50 is worth it or not to YOU. Good luck 🙂
secondary submitted on 7/11!
So I just had mine today and it was the best by far regarding my experience with the interviewers. super friendly and conversational. just asking questions to get to know me better. no interrogation whatsoever and they actually seemed interested in my responses.
Glad to hear! Just got an A from them this morning. Sending well wishes your way!
Congrats!!! and thank you! did you send a thank you note by chance? Im wondering if i should or not.
Two interviewers (traditional?), the interview is more conversational, and about 30 minutes. I was told that it is closed with regards to MCAT/GPA
No. I typically do but didn't get a chance to.
