There is still a lot of time left! Per HUCM's website, IIs go through April. For some extra encouragement, in last cycle's thread, I saw an applicant whose application was reviewed in early August and didn’t receive an II until the end of January. There were a few applicants with similar experiences.

Also, I meant to post this earlier, but here is data from the Fall 2024 Applicant Pool (Class of 2028):

• AMCAS Applications: 8460
• AMCAS Verified: 8334
• Secondary Applications: 5334
• Interviews Offered: 393
• Acceptance Offers: 266
• Matriculants: 131

Data from Fall 2023 Applicant Pool (Class of 2027):

• AMCAS Applications: 8599
• AMCAS Verified: 8466
• Secondary Applications: 5454
• Interviews Offered: 386
• Acceptance Offers: 316
• Matriculants: 129

Anyone who interviewed in October hear back?

I interviewed early October. They said they’ll send the decision in 2 weeks. It’s been a month and nothing.

I went to the HUCM 1st Friday last week and it was super exciting! I’m still stressed tho, got the reviewed email around Oct 10th but haven’t received an II yet. Anybody applying to HUCM and doing HPSP?

Did they give any updates about applications/interview invites?

Nope! 😭

Hey yall. Is there anyone that has to retake their MCAT in January or do yall know of anyone who did retake in January and got in? I’m super nervous about my mcat and I have already submitted my secondary and received an email saying that I have been put on hold and they are waiting to see my new mcat score

I am taking the MCAT again in January but my application still hasn't been reviewed. So did they review your application or just put you on hold because of the new test date? Do you mind me asking if your initial MCAT score was at or above the minimum score of 495

 

[Rckstarr]

Hey guys, i could the app reviewed august 29 and still haven’t heard back. Any idea if there’s still hope lol

It’s been awhile since a lot of interviews have gone out based on this thread and cycle track. I think it’s okay to have a bit of hope and some invites will be going out soon.

 

[livelylilac]

Hey guys, i could the app reviewed august 29 and still haven’t heard back. Any idea if there’s still hope lol

I believe so. In the previous application cycle, a user reported the following timeline:

• Submitted secondary: July 21
• Application marked complete: July 25
• Application reviewed: August 2
• Interview invitation received: January 25
• Interviewed: February 7

I’d recommend checking out threads from previous years. Although the info is limited and comes from a relatively small pool of people, I use it to get a general sense of timelines, see when others received an II, and better understand how the process played out for them. It’s not a guarantee (of course) but it can provide some reassurance and help you gauge where you might be in the cycle

I am taking the MCAT again in January but my application still hasn't been reviewed. So did they review your application or just put you on hold because of the new test date? Do you mind me asking if your initial MCAT score was at or above the minimum score of 495

It was a little bit below the minimum but they did review my application and just put me on hold.

 

[LA3]

Anyone over the 6-8 week mark with no reviewed message?

 

[Calypsoo]

Anyone over the 6-8 week mark with no reviewed message?

When did you send in your secondary?

 

[LA3]

When did you send in your secondary?

Complete email 9/30. Submitted few days before

 

[Calypsoo]

Complete email 9/30. Submitted few days before

Shoot! Honestly, I think you should be getting it in a week or so?

Most likely they received a bunch of applicants during that time period. I submitted 08/14 and got the reviewed email 09/23 ... the wait has been ugh, I've got your LM score too but I'm Canadian.

 

[catchingfire]

OOS A just in. Interviewed 10/09!!!

 

[Heyfuturedoc]

It was a little bit below the minimum but they did review my application and just put me on hold.

I’m one point below the minimum and retaking in January to apply for the current cycle!

 

[Heyfuturedoc]

OOS A just in. Interviewed 10/09!!!

Congratulations !!

 

[medicallymedgal]

OOS A just in. Interviewed 10/09!!!

Yay! Congrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Hopefully II are coming next!!

 

[JMD25!]

Did they give any updates about applications/interview invites?

No, they didn’t give any updates at all. It was more of a Q and A session with medical students about HUCM (lifestyle, academics, interest groups, etc). Sorry for the late response!

 

[Med-School Chick]

Keep the faith. It’s coming

Praying daily for that II

 

[just_a_bagel]

I got the reviewed email 8/28 (got secondary 7/9, submitted 7/10) and I haven't heard anything since.

 

[medicallymedgal]

Praying daily for that II

Refreshing my email like crazy every day lol

 

[chizzykingg]

Refreshing my email like crazy every day lol

same there doesnt seem to be a lot of people in thus thread getting invites too so maybe theres hope for us

 

[soontobemed_]

Received secondary in Sept and submitted in Nov due to extenuating circumstances that I touched on a bit in the prompt that basically ask is there anything else I want the admissions committee to know. I didn’t get into submitting it late but explain what I’ve been dealing with as of late.

Do any of you think this will hurt my app pretty bad?

Yes sometimes. But you can only be honest about your experiences. This process sucks. Personally been through hell to get here, and they wanna punish me for that, then so be it. But again, it's all about how you tell your story. But you also have to make room for them not giving a damn. Sadly.

thanks for your insight and honesty. I believe you’re right. I’m hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.

You’ve already submitted! Be proud of yourself, with the rate things are going I think you should be fine

Same here, the waiting is Torture!

 

[LA3]

finally got complete review email

 

[meeel5]

I received the secondary received email on 8/22 and the application reviewed email on 9/23. It’s been radio silence since then 🫠

Are II about to pick up soon?

Are post-secondary rejections sent out early or do they wait until April when interviews are done to notify non-selected applicants?

 

[ThatNerdyMedicalGeek]

+1 OOS A! Interviewed 10/23

 

[medicallymedgal]

+1 OOS A! Interviewed 10/23

Congrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉

 

[cherrycola2001]

I just submitted my primary application a few days ago. I was hesitant to apply this cycle because I am finishing a Post-Bacc program in May and wanted to increase my sGPA before applying, but I decided to just apply since most of my application has been filled out since June. I've listed my stats below, I know I'm super unlikely to get in since it's so late in the cycle but I'd love any advice on what I could expect:

MCAT: 501 --> 508
sGPA: 2.97 (upward trend, Ivy League)
Post-Bacc GPA (completed 4/8 classes): 3.98

 

[breezybacitracin]

Secondary received 7/23, submitted 08/17, reviewed email 09/23. Anyone around the same timeline receive any interviews yet?

 

[Med-School Chick]

+1 OOS A! Interviewed 10/23

Congrats! I know how excited you must be. I hope I get to experience that excitement soon. I got the reviewed email on 11/15, so right now, I'm still sending up prayers for an II. May I ask what your stats were?
