I just got the email ~10:20am PST
If it makes you feel better, I also had a publication occur that wasn't on my primary app that I couldn't tell them about (I have similar LM score as you) and I got an II 2 weeks ago! I think there is still time 🙂
It does! Just praying at this point. Congrats!!
Around 10 PDT.
You've got this! Wishing you the best possible outcome for your cycle <3
Thanks fr! My MD cycle’s been a wash unfortunately, so it felt a little bit disheartening to see schools j rejecting me left and right. The one interview I had turned to a WL and that was honestly my best shot 🙁
+1 complete late july yay 🤠!!
its optional, no one present is part of the admissions committee. good luck on the interview!!
I think a couple people have reported some movement. It should really start moving by the end of april.
I did on 9/11/24, I believe they sent it to everyone
Congrats!! Were you given notice via email or through the portal?
Email!
Thanks for letting me know! Were you by chance given a "app complete" email before the II invite? I submitted my 2* a long time ago and still haven't gotten the "app complete" email, just the one where they received the 2*.
It feels low stakes and casual, just practice the MMI format because it kinda threw me for a loop as my first MMI. The questions are pretty standard though!
Hmm that's interesting, I got both "Supplementary Application Confirmation" and "Application File is Complete" emails...
Gotcha! It probably means I’m getting rejected tho lmao.
Honestly, that just means you should follow up with the admin office. This has happened to me and I got accepted to that school. Also, logically there's no reason for a school to send app complete emails only to applicants who they want to accept. It just means they received all parts of your application so it's important to follow up and clarify if you don't get that email.
I got an II and never got a complete email
Dr Ellison is such a sweetheart. Just relax. It very relaxed. Just ethical based scenarios.
Yes, you’re allowed. They give you roughly about 1.5 - 2 min to think and I was able to write down some things and collect my thoughts
they sent me an invite last week, and last tuesday 3/4 and tomorrow 3/11 were the only available days to sign up. however i believe that last year they were still interviewing into april so i wouldnt be surprised if they were just not showing me all of the days that they planned to make available
I interview back in October but can still look at the interview page. They have sign up dates for 3/11 and 3/25.
im in the same boat. we will probably start hearing more about waitlist movement after april 15th!
Does everyone get one ?
I think so. I got mine yesterday, interviewed on 3/4
Same!! It was so nice of them tbh
i interviewed on 2/11 and i havent heard back yet! so im assuming they havent sent out any interview results yet, hope this helps!
Would love to hear more about the clinical sites lottery and what you mean by strategizing!
Main room is everyone together, but every time you go into an MMI station it is just you
That's so helpful, thank you! Also, are you expected to ask/answer questions in the main room? Or is it just a presentation providing more info about the school?
Sure. As many know, RFU/CMS does not have a primary teaching hospital, for better or for worse. I think we can deduce some of the qualms of not having a primary teaching hospital; the pro's are a.) you get a more diverse clinical experience at different sites, and b.) you can get experience on different EHRs.
You can ask questions if you want to, but during the down time between each MMI station, we were just hanging out with other people in the main room and Dr. Ellison was asking ice breaker questions like your hobbies etc. After the interview, it was basically information session from RFU, you have alot of opportunities to ask questions.
Questions but most are silly/fun
You get put into a breakout room with a prompt that you have a minute or two to read and take notes. Then you answer the question for a single interviewer (faculty, staff, or student). It will only be you and the interviewer in the breakout room. After the time is up, you go back into the main room for a minute or two with Dr. Ellison and all the other students that are interviewing. In that large breakout room, Dr. Ellison will be asking individual students lighthearted questions (i.e. what you do for fun or what is your favorite food). This is the process as you cycle between mmi stations and the main room. It is lots of fun, actually. There is not really time for you to ask questions then, but there will be plenty of time in other segments of the interview day. It is an enjoyable experience!
