OOS II! No ties to VA. 3.95/507. Surprised with the in-person interview… scared how much the travel will cost.

From when I was at their welcome event, they said they planned to interview 300 people and accept roughly 100 people from that pool.

Thanks!

Is your interview scheduled for January?

 

[signomiii]

How is the welcome event the night before? Do we have to be there the whole time?

It's so helpful and really helps you relax for interview day. Highly recommend

Now that I’ve finished my interview I def agree, the reception the night before the best event I’ve been to all app season. Incredibly chill and helpful to talk to other applicants and current students/faculty. IMO the whole interview day felt high effort on their end and they did an amazing job selling the school. Was def impressed.

Anyone know when VTech wraps up interview invites? Couldn't find when they stop sending them out on their admissions timeline

I think there are 6 interview sessions, and I want to say the last one is in February, but I’m not definitive on that.

Very random, but I just stumbled upon this thread and felt compelled to comment. I'm a current M4 at VTC and can honestly say it's been one of the best experiences of my life. I remember being in your shoes and wondering about the location, class size, and how new the school was, but ended up trusting my gut after having a really positive interview and second look experience, and I have absolutely zero regrets about choosing it over other more "highly ranked" schools. There just really is something special about the culture and essence of the school. Even after the residency application process, I still think getting into medical school is by far the hardest part of this journey, but so worth it, so just wanted to say hang in there and I'm rooting for all of you

How big are the interview groups? Only 6 interview sessions is low low - but ik they have a class size of ~50

My interview group was roughly 50 people. They said they accept ~33% of interviewees

This is correct according to the info I got during my interview!

What type of student is VTech looking for? Feels like one of those schools that loves nontrads but I'm not sure if it's research, service, or just being a go-getter that they value in applicants

They're big on research!

 

[MusicNerd]

They're big on research!

+1 to this. I think I remember reading somewhere that the average VTC matriculant had over 3000 research hours, but I could be mistaken.

 

[Idkwhattocallit]

When do they release decisions?

 

[Cherry90]

When do they release decisions?

I believe it will be by March 15th.

 

[horsegirl_doctor]

[confusedcurls]

lol im kinda laughing, bc their rejection email doesn't even say you're rejected. it's just like "we're done yall, bye"

 

[MusicNerd]

When do they release decisions?

I was told within 4 weeks at the last interview day (3 February).

 

[Sandman23]

Dang, loved this school. So long VTech....might see you for residency

 

[Cherry90]

Has anyone heard anything since your January interview?

 

[signomiii]

Has anyone heard anything since your January interview?

Nope but pretty sure they will come out in a batch with the February interviewees results. I was told mid march but seems like February interview peeps said within 4 weeks

Yes they have!

 

[Cherry90]

Yes they have!

Thanks! Crossed our fingers! Hopefully, we'll get good news.

 

[Bangaliboy]

Does anyone know around what time they usually call? from the past it seems like 3-4 weeks after interview on tuesday or thursday. I want to keep my volume on high during clinic lmao

I had seen someone say as early as around noon on a previous post but i think it varies. I am in the same boat lol, but my gut says it will be next week

Im in California so i hope i have a great start to the day with the call. nervous af

 

[Cherry90]

Has anyone received an acceptance call since the January interview?

 

[medder42]

Has anyone received an acceptance call since the January interview?

I don't think anyone has, but of course I could be wrong. Based on when people from the Jan+Feb interviews heard back in previous years, next Tuesday (27th) might be when they start calling

 

[Cherry90]

Do you think today is the day the school starts calling people?

 

[Idkwhattocallit]

It could be based on previous data. However, I do remember them telling us that we’ll find out by mid March at the Feb interview session (which I understood to mean that we’ll find out in March). I could be wrong though!

I thought I heard in my interview mid March as well

 

[medder42]

I was told within 4 weeks at the last interview day (3 February).

I was also told March 15th on my date (1/6), but it's possible that that's just based on March 15th being the AMCAS deadline by which they have to have given out their minimum # of A's. Based on that, this guy's post^, and previous year's posts, who knows

 

[Bangaliboy]

During the feb interview (feb 3) they said 4 weeks. looks like it might be next week unless they call late today

 

[waitingwaitingwaitingwait]

They called on a Thursday last year….and you can only announce decisions on a Feb 29th every four years so fingers crossed they are just trying to have a little fun with it.

Although I interviewed in jan and they did say early/mid march…

 

[medder42]

I'm thinking it's gonna be next week

 

[Cherry90]

I'm thinking it's gonna be next week

Why is it taking so long ??

 

[Idkwhattocallit]

I think it’s because we’ll find out next week. We might find out this week but they told us March 15th at the Feb interview

I interviewed In January and haven’t heard anything yet

 

[Idkwhattocallit]

Yeah I think January and February interviewees hear back at the same time. Did they say when you’d hear back from in the January interview?
