By OOS, do you mean OOR? If so, you'll need ties to Washington, a strong mission fit, and a history of working with the underserved. Your MCAT is amazing, but it's an automatic R if you don't have strong ties to Washington. I believe only 0.4% of accepted students are OOR (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

That being said, being non-trad might work in your favor here! UW certainly takes a holistic approach with their admissions. I'm also non-trad and OOR, and I just finished my II today.

Just a warning that it may be getting a bit late if you're considering applying this cycle. I think timeliness is super important for UW, maybe even more so than most schools because it's a longer process for an OOR applicant. First they have to decide if they want to send you a pre-secondary/mission statement which can take a couple weeks, then review that (up to a month) and decide if they want to send a secondary to you, and then of course the 1-3 month wait after that for them to review your secondary. Applying now would put you into December for a possible II and they only interview into January I think. So if you are applying this cycle make sure you're prioritizing a quick turnaround for your writing.

I didn't even realize that was listed on MSAR! Thank you so much!

It's interesting that many schools have listed the 16th as their earliest date, but some are sticking with the 15th! Strange, as that's a Sunday. Go figure!

How long after selecting a preferred interview date do they tend to send the interview confirmation email? I selected my preferred date a little over a week ago, and I know it says in the portal that it could take a while for the interview date to be confirmed, but I would appreciate a ballpark estimate of when I will likely hear back

THAT IS SO EXCITING! I submitted my secondary on August 20th and still haven't heard anything about an interview yet, but crossing my fingers. Can you share when you got an interview relative to submitting your secondary?

Has anyone else heard back about a decision today?
 
Just got the "Under Consideration" email :(

Feeling down for sure. Was hoping beyond all hope for an A.

AFAIK, don't people often stay on the Under Consideration list for months on end?

Just got the same email haha — from scanning last year's forum it seems like it may be a bit of purgatory until end of feb and only Rs are handed out to SUCs til then :/

Quick q—I received a pretty competitive outside scholarship that would cover full tuition at any medical school. I want to tell the schools that I applied to that I really like about it, but not all schools accept updates, including UW. Should I email the office of admissions email or will it be unhelpful/potentially hurtful since they don't like updates?

I feel you accomplished big one. Worth to send email about this to admin, and then they might give you to advise how to do or update it for your file. Especially, if you are out of state that would be worth it since you approch with your interesting to school.
Can I ask what scholarship is? That is great.

Thank you!! The scholarship is called HPSP so it Is a military based scholarship (comes with a 4 year commitment to serve as a doctor in the military). My goal is to be a psychiatrist in the air force so I am excited about it!

Have any of the other Idaho residents heard back anything yet? So far it has been complete radio silence... is that just me?

I think they interview all the Idaho residents in the same week (this year it's in mid-February). My friend who interviewed with them last year as an Idaho resident didn't hear anything until shortly before that Idaho interview week. Here's the link with the interview dates.

Hi all! Does anyone for the Spokane cohort know if the January 1/22-1/25 interview week also has regular MD applicants interview that week, or if that January interview week is only for TRUST applicants? Just trying to figure out if the December interview week is the only interview week for Spokane cohort regular MD applicants.
 
Any Alaska applicants here?

For those of you who have interviewed, how was the interview?
Click to expand...
Mine wasn't as conversational as other interviews I've had. I feel like it was somewhat rapid-fire questions from each interviewer. It wasn't crazy tough, but definitely not laid-back (imo).

I could be biased because I was CRAZY nervous, as this is my #1 choice of schools :/

I also felt like mine was not conversational. It felt like I was being grilled with complex questions.
