On interview day, is it just one long-form 1 on 1 interview? Sorry if you already answered this 🙂

Do not apologize for asking questions! Good luck with your interview if you were invited 🙂

Interview day is a collection of presentations, Q&A, panels, etc. There are two brief interview sessions, each one approximately 15 min long with one different doctor/faculty each. These are not traditional interviews, they are behavioral/situational.

They said in order to comply with AAMC earliest possible notification date, it would be Oct 18 for my interview group. They did not say anything about what this means for other applicants. Best of luck!

Same October 18. Interview done on 5th.

The portal status shows as Admissions Committee Review Complete.
So decisions are sealed [emoji1696]

[bsajeev]

One of them was a single MMI scenario and one of them was a behavioral style question with additional questions attached. No traditional questions unfortunately

For those interviewing the week of October 20th, have you gotten your Spark Hire links? I haven't gotten anything and I'm wondering if I should send an email asking

Could anyone describe what the sparkhire questions are like. Is it similar to the lecom asynchronous interview or more general?

 

[deleted1151110]

silly question, but do you abbreviate this school as FAU COM or something else? thanks

EDIT: did a good bit of digging, it is called CESCOM in all of their official materials

Oops. I said FAU COM in everything I’ve done haha. Still got an II, though, so hopefully they don’t care too much

[~Balthazar~]

[Hurricanado]

It did not

Thanks. Wanted to be sure since Acuity had it on its $chool di$tribution li$t but of cour$e, Acuity ha$ different prioritie$.

 

[jellyfish23]

Is there a way to check our application status?

 

[~Balthazar~]

[Hurricanado]

its on the secondary portal

So the perpetual "under review" type line is what it is I guess.

[Hurricanado]

I'm on that with a bunch of schools, though in this instance the admission committee review completed is after the interview but before any announcements.

Sorry, dude. I really hope that changes for you and everyone else soon.

[chemicalrush21]

Hey all! I applied to this school very late on 10/23. Does anyone know roughly what date they are around in terms of reviewing right now?

Same also wondering. Any help would be appreciated!

How long after your guys portal went to "Preliminary review completed" did you receive an II? Kinda worried now as I just got this a few days ago but no movement.

I’ve been on that for several months … take a big breath lol. It’s been a few days.

I know I was just hoping to see if anyone had a gap in time before hearing anything back. I don't know if they send out pre-II rejections either and this is one of my top choices which is why I'm a little bit worried.
