For people interviewing tomorrow, can you update us on the culture of the interview? like was it conversational and chill, etc.

 

[real12]

Does anybody know what inclusive excellence is? I'm not sure what to write for this question- currently I'm writing about how I've increased inclusion through my various service activities but I'm not sure if that is really getting at inclusive excellence

bumping... if anybody has any insight/tips into the interviews that would be appreciated!

it was really chill! The group activity seemed more about facilitating a discussion and teamwork. I would recommend knowing about common debates/hot topics in the US and looking up previously asked and common questions

Anything specific about the hot topics? Or just like what’s new in the news.

Do you guys think it's too late to submit my secondary? I've been swamped with work and other secondaries so I know it's getting on the later end.

I think it’s worth a shot. They only send secondaries to 2/3 of applicants, so you already made it past one part of the admissions process.

 

[cr8t8c8lc8re]

hey everyone. Current MS2 just wrapping up clerkships, about to go into MS3. Happy to talk about the school overall either here or via DMs. Can also talk about the general admissions process as well.

what are interviews like? MMI or traditional style?

 

[cr8t8c8lc8re]

Have any people IS received an interview?

no 🙁 sadly

 

[Iron Man23]

what are interviews like? MMI or traditional style?

Group interview and individual interview

 

[babseeb]

We don't need to send DUET to this school, right?

 

[neuroticpremed222]

Curious - did anyone else apply CSB? I got family there and I love the QI LIB - aligns exactly with what I want to learn/practice 🙂

[MedicallyEnthused]

When did you submit your primary to them? I'm IS and submitted mine on 9/4 and still nothing.

that is totally normal. My primary was verified in early june and was sent to med school on the first day (June 28th). University of Colorado didn't send my secondary until three weeks later.

I submitted my primary on 9/4 as well. There's just a chance that the person assigned to pre-screen your secondary just hasn't gotten to it yet -- I wouldn't worry just yet.

Also I do think my personal statement (if they read it during pre-screening) shows I'm mission fit for one of their programs.

 

[SauceLegend]

Have any people IS received an interview?

Sadly no. I'm IS with an LM of 81 so I'm kinda bummed out. But still lots of time left in the cycle.

 

[gasces]

+1 OOS II at 8:03!! LM 78, and submitted 7/18. I applied for the rural program also!

 

[babseeb]

Sadly no. I'm IS with an LM of 83 so I'm kinda bummed out. But still lots of time left in the cycle.

ya it is interesting because every single person in my interview (roughly 60-80 ppl) were OOS, including me. maybe they will get to IS later?

Your interview has 60-80 people? That’s so many.

[gasces]

What time did interviews start (Fridays would be helpful specifically)? Are the sample schedules they give accurate with start and end times for Wednesday vs Friday? I wish they would make timing a little more clear 🙂

[Iron Man23]
