IDK I wouldn't worry about it too much since they send out IIs at what feels like the most unexpected time. Schools are like cats; they come and leave whenever they feel like it. Hope you get in tho.does anyone know when we should start assuming we've been passed over? I submitted 7/31 and haven't heard anything 🙁 LM 78 and utterly suffering bc Duke is my top choice 🙁

Friendly reminder to go fill out the post-interview survey, otherwise the committee won’t discuss your application!
(Are any other schools like this?? Because I’m running to go fill out all the other schools’ surveys I may have missed…)

When they said that at the end of the interview I was definitely scared 😭Friendly reminder to go fill out the post-interview survey, otherwise the committee won’t discuss your application!

Interviewed in September and its so tough to wait till February. I feel like they likely decide our fate early since they don't accept updates or anything like that. How y'all coping?
This is the strategy. I do get the occasional war flashback about my MMI though 😬Just try not to even think about it. I accepted that it will most likely be a R and have been trying to forget about it 🤣

Is the info session actually business casual? Or do most people wear formal attire

Hey guys!! Congrats to everyone who has gotten an II so far. I wanted to ask, for those with IIs, did you fill out the additional info prompt? If so, what did you end up putting there. Feeling so burnt out but I'll write the why us if I have to...

This might be a silly question, but are both days (info session + MMI) fully blind? I know the MMI itself is, but will we be asked personal questions at any point before/after it or during the info session day?
I just shot my shot here and unexpectedly got the II this week so I'm super excited but also nervous...

Does anyone who has already interviewed have any advice on how they prepared for the Team MMIs? (First time hearing about team-based stations)

Congrats! The info session was student led for the most part, the only time I remember participating was just interacting with the med students and other applicants

You’ll be given a task and you work with another applicant to try to complete it. I think the adcoms are less concerned about if you can actually complete the task, and instead are observing your communication and teamwork skills. Remember that the applicants you are paired with are your colleagues, not your competition in these stations. I don’t think you can really prepare besides reviewing effective communication skills. These were honestly the most fun and least stressful stations in my Duke interview!

Was anyone else told that apps would be evaluated 2-3 weeks after interview and we could still submit updates more than a week after interview? If so do we just email admissions
On my interview day, we were told to submit an update within a week of the interview, but maybe it differs at different points in the cycle.

Does Duke send you an email if your supplemental is complete (i.e. letters received too)? All I see is "Application Screening - Your supplemental application has been completed. Your application is now being reviewed by a set of independent screeners on our admissions committee" on the top of the portal.
