Secondary submitted July 18 and received a II today! FL resident.

II received yesterday. 49X MCAT. Just when I thought my dream was slipping away lol. So excited! Do not lose hope, y'all; your time is coming.

Has anyone put "No Preference" for a campus in their initial application, then changed it to a specific campus post-interview and got accepted to the campus you switched preferences to? I'm curious how that selection process goes, in general, for people who kept "No Preference."

Got my interview invite for the Melbourne campus 02/04, won’t be interviewing until 03/06. Anyone know if i have a chance at an acceptance or am I interviewing for the waitlist?

Yes. When I applied, I selected no preference; however, after doing some research and having my interview, where I learned more about financial aid for both campuses, I sent an email to change my preference. The school sent me an email that my preference had been updated the very next day, and I also received my acceptance to the school I preferred a few weeks later. Hope this helps!

Honestly, it could be either, but I'd say if you're getting an interview, the chance for an acceptance is always there. Focus on the positive, go kill that interview!

If you think March is late, I chose April, lol, because I wanted to do it in person. They accept primaries until April, so we still have a good chance! If you read through previous comments, some people interviewed way earlier than us and still got waitlisted. So, I wouldn't say we are interviewing just for the waitlist lol.

Congrats! Did you get accepted to the campus that you changed your preference to? Just wondering because I'm also changing my campus preference.

Yes. I got my preferred campus. You have to do that before confirming seat.

@Burrell Admissions Have those who interviewed 2/5 at NM heard back yet? Can any insight be given on how full the class is at this point? Thank you

Based on all the other comments I've read about people getting accepted, it seems like it's at least a 2 week turnaround so 2/5 interview results will probably come out next week the earliest. I could be wrong, but that seems to be the pattern from previous posts.

Hello, we are still delivering decisions at the two-week mark after interviews. Seat availability can change daily, but we currently have seats at both campuses. We also encourage all students to remember that historically, we typically see waitlist movement later in the spring.
 
Is it worth submitted apps this late? Lower stat, heard some people with my stat get II.

Worse case, you get a rejection and try again next cycle, but at least you would have tried instead of wondering "what if." Low stats don't define you. Best of luck!
 
I have low stats.... Mcat 497
Just submitted my secondary... we'll see what happens.
 
How long did it take to receive login credentials to pay the deposit after accepting offer?

Long story short... I submitted my primaries end of July 2024, but had a lot of family disfunction, on top of burnout from working full time, taking the MCAT, and having challenging years in college... resulting in me giving up on med school for the first time since i was 10, and not submitting any secondaries... Come beginning of this month, I randomly submitted my LMU secondary because it was 99% complete, then I suddenly got an interview invite a few days later! So now, after some healing as some new smidgen of hope that I could be accepted this year, I am submitting as many secondaries as possible because my passion for med school has been reignited.

so, I got access to my secondary back in August or September, but didn't submit it until yesterday.
 
OOS A on 2/13. Presuming my meeting with the dean of WSU EFSOM tomorrow is my A, I'll be passing my Burrell A on to someone!
 
Has anyone had luck getting an earlier interview date? The earliest available was in early April 🙃

Wow they went fast. When I booked mine on the 3rd there were a bunch for March and possibly some at the end of this month. There is a wait list, I think, you can be added to for cancelations.

Already done! Hoping I’ll get to reschedule soon…
 
Has anyone gotten their interview moved up after filling out the form? When I went to schedule my interview the earliest date was April 😭
 
Does this school do silent rejections to those who have not received an II? coming to the end of the cycle
