Congrats! Did you send any updates before the invite?

Just a pub update in August

 

[dans789]

[Chipmunk435]

OOS II last night! Complete mid july

 

[TIN25]

I am at a loss for words, +1 OOS interview. God is so good!

 

[jj_blue]

+1 OOS interview... I also have no words bc my LM is less than 70. Just shocked and grateful and hyping myself up for this MMI!!!

 

[TIN25]

Hi All! Happy Saturday 🙂
Does when you receive an interview have any bearing on the admissions decision? Ex. Interviewing later in their cycle indicates a waitlist at best? I’m assuming since Duke uses rolling admissions, the answer to this is no it has no bearing.

Duke's decisions for post-interview admissions are non-rolling and just speaking from personal experience, I strongly suspect it makes no difference (this applies to merit scholarships, too). Last year I got my II on 1/19, two days before the final interview day on 1/21, and I genuinely think I was the very last person they sent an II in that cycle.

Amazing, thank you!!

Does that mean Duke is over with II?

 

[jj_blue]

In the pre-interview info session, they said they added an extra interview round for next week, so there's that. But also they called me as a last-minute invite and they wanted to get it scheduled asap... so maybe a couple spots left but I wouldn't count on it.

Does that mean Duke is over with II?

 

[Monkeymojo]

when in Feb do you think we'll hear?

I think last year they offered initial acceptances on Feb 21 and rejections Feb 22

 

[belugaa]

when in Feb do you think we'll hear?

the dean said during a recent interview session that they are aiming for the weeks of February 17th or 24th for decisions - I wish we knew the exact date though bc my sleep quality is going to be terrible for those few weeks!

Historically:
2024: Feb 21st (Wednesday) ~12-3 EST
2023: Feb 16th (Thursday) ~12-2 EST
2022: Feb 18th (Friday) ~12-6 EST
2021: Feb 26th (Friday) ~12-2 EST

tldr most likely 2/17-2/28 towards the middle-end of the week.

goat 🙏🏿 want to add on though A LOT of people report not getting a call but then getting the A email, so its kinda weird

 

[kiwisun]

Do you think they’re done sending out interview invites?

 

[dimplesage]

I heard from some current students that this week was supposed to be the last week of interviews, but they might be adding 1 more week (probably next week?)

 

[RandomPreMed123]

Just got a call from admissions to schedule an interview. The only available dates were Monday and Tuesday, with a mandatory info session on the Sunday beforehand, so I'm assuming I was one of the very last people.

prob 919 north carolina area code, they will make multiple efforts to contact.

 

[TIN25]

Happy Friday 🙂 Quick question- is the Sunday evening information session evaluative? My apologies if this has been asked before!

 

[ke0401]

Hi All, hope you're having a great start to the week! I was wondering if anyone walked away feeling unsure of their performance. 7/10 stations went well, but 3 I felt could have been better. Hoping I'm not alone in feeling this way! Also happy to speak privately about this.

Not alone. I didn't feel great about a couple of them.

Thank goodness! Hoping it still works out for us.

No fr some of the questions were pretty challenging and a couple of the raters were definitely taking an antagonistic stance. They were trying to throw us off but I bet you did better than you think!!!

I thought it was just me but I had two raters who had very strong opinions on the prompt, definitely threw me off for fear of being "wrong" 🙂

 

[cats222]

I was just rejected pre II from the MSTP but they said my application is moved to MD consideration. I wonder if there are still interviews left?

 

[forumskeptic]

OMG SAME I also thought it was just me, and I have been going crazy thinking that I misread the prompt when I know that I didn't

 

[TIN25]

Mentally prepped myself to take the L 🥲

[CelestialDragon]

Duke finished interviews last week!

 

[Chickenpotpiesoup]

Any guesses for exact decision date this year?

 

[newkungfukenny]

Any guesses for exact decision date this year?

i think with 2/28 falling on a Friday, it'll likely be that last week of Feb. I wanna guess Thurs 2/27 (speaking out of my ass)

 

[dimplesage]

During my interview, Dr. Yee said either the week of the 17th or the 24th, soooo either the 18th or the 25th imo

The MSAR says the earliest date is Feb 21 so my guess is Feb 21 or the week of the 24th

 

[kobewankenobi66]

in past years they've had it a bit earlier, like 2 years ago I think it was feb 12 or something

How do you know?

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

How do you know?

A friend called and asked

 

[CelestialDragon]

i heard that they might not really read update letters/letters of interest after the post-II 1 week mark but what if you legit have huge significant updates? Like a 1-2 publications getting accepted at a huge journal in addition to similarly significant updates on the community service/clinical side as well, etc? any chance they'll read it? and if so, could that change someone's 'ranking/score' that they assign post-II? esp if you interviewed like over 5 months ago? 😭
