When did you submit your primary?

It was received/verified on June 29...is it even worth submitting a secondary this late?

 

[slownsteady02]

Anyone who has done an interview can you tell me what the format was like? What type of questions etc

 

[Dr_TallyMo22]

Unfortunately we can’t, we signed some type of NDA

 

[Dr_TallyMo22]

It wasn’t bad tho, definitely on the chill side

I can’t give you info about the questions but it was a one on one interview & not an MMI

I submitted my primary in early June and added this school in late August, I wish I saw this thread before I wasted my money , good luck to you all!

Wait what’s the context behind this post why do you regret it?

 

[slownsteady02]

Oh lol idk school did that. But thank you for the reply!

 

[Dr_TallyMo22]

Oh lol idk school did that. But thank you for the reply!

Of course and yes it was regarding the content of it but it was traditional, two interviews

 

[slownsteady02]

If you're asking about an interview invite: Once you email the designated person about your availability, they should respond back in the same day but later since the west coast time zone is different. Idk if this is helpful

 

[achilles33]

I got an II the morning of 9/24. I replied with availability a couple hours later. I still have not heard back. Should I reach out or whats the turnaround time?

Hmm, yeah I think that's the best option. Also, make sure that you sent the email to the right recipient, if you haven't checked

I am on the west coast. I just haven’t gotten a response to my email.

You might need to email the admissions office. The coordinator did not respond to me after three days and the email saying "a 3-day deadline" freaked me out. I got a response after emailing admissions though

Hello all! I'm OOS had my II on 9/16 and I'm super excited to hear back from CDU. Love it's mission and emphasis on research.

 

[ChanticleerRoost129]

For the secondary question asking about personal experience with discrimination, is it fine to give an example of medical discrimination, even if I may not be URM? Or would it better to leave the discrimination question blank?

 

[slownsteady02]

Does anyone have the admission email. I emailed both the person and admin to no avail. I dont want to mess this up😭

I've emailed [email protected] in the past with general admissions questions and they always responded within 1-2 business days.

That said, I don't think you have much to be worried about. If you emailed that address and still haven't heard confirmation yet, it could just be that they're dealing with a large volume of emails right now and are a little slower.

Also, I don't think admissions at CDU are rolling until mid-February, so you still have PLENTY of time to get your interview scheduled in time for that first batch of As!

For those of you who scheduled interviews, as long as we reply within the time given, we just wait even if its past the deadline they give us, right?

You did your part which is responding to schedule it so I believe you're fine. But email their main office if you haven't already.

I would say discrimination is discrimination and I would mention it, highlighting that you recognize this is important even it you are not a URM.

I would email the admissions email address too

Will the download instructions and set up for Kira be sent later on after receiving the interview invite email?

 

[MOATMDS]

Will the download instructions and set up for Kira be sent later on after receiving the interview invite email?

Yep. It will be sent a week before your interview.

 

[soontobemed_]

Yep. It will be sent a week before your interview.

[grown]

Congrats!

[watchMedoiit]

How long did it take them to send you ur interview date?

 

[soontobemed_]

How long did it take them to send you ur interview date?

for me, secondary confirmation on 09/22 and interview invite on 09/25

 

[watchMedoiit]

for me, secondary confirmation on 09/22 and interview invite on 09/25

Ty, how about from when you sent your availability to actually getting a date?

 

[soontobemed_]

Ty, how about from when you sent your availability to actually getting a date?

it took one day after I responded to receive a response with a date that I confirmed worked for me, then four days later the scheduled interview info was sent. hope this makes sense

Can anyone still access the portal after submitting your secondary? For some reason I can’t find the original email that had the link to the portal, but I received the secondary and I know I submitted it!!!! Ahhhhhh.

I can see it on my side

 

[tazzle_razzle6334]

Do you have a link to the portal login? I don’t know why I can’t seem to find my secondary email!

 

[MOATMDS]

Do you have a link to the portal login? I don’t know why I can’t seem to find my secondary email!

Yeah I do. I'm not sure why you can't locate it on your side.

 

[tazzle_razzle6334]

Yeah I do. I'm not sure why you can't locate it on your side.

Would you mind sending me a link to the login page? I tried emailing admissions, and they told me the portal is closed after submission and said they’d send me a link — they didn’t and it’s been a few days.

EDIT: Just found it after combing through my history!!! Sorry, please disregard 🙂

For people who have received interviews, how long does it take to hear back about scheduling. I’m on day 3. Did you follow up with admissions?

I didn't hear on day 3 and that's when I emailed admissions.
