+1 OOS II. Pretty surprised to get it this late in the cycle, had assumed I was done

Congrats! When did you complete secondaries?

Thanks! 8/22. This one was the last one I ended up submitting since they sent them out so late aha.

Submitted my secondary the same day for the same reason, hoping for good news soon 🤞

Waitlisted. Anyone know anything about UMN's waitlist? Do they typically send out ranking/position?

Sorry to hear that, when did you interview? Also I’ve been hearing lots of super qualified people getting waitlisted. It’s a bummer but it’s not over til it’s over. Hang in there.

I wanted to write a thank you note on the padlet, but realized I totally forgot one of my interviewer's names. I can't find them anywhere on the UMN website. Should I just not write a thank you note rather than sending one that sounds impersonal?

You could reach out to the admissions staff and ask for their name. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that

 

[medschoolplease1]

Do we think this is a week we could hear about decisions? Thursday / Friday?

 

[ducknik]

Another person said they meet every other Wednesday, which would mean they would likely meet this Wednesday. So assuming that is true, then we could expect some decisions later this week.

Ugh. Sorry to hear that. Was this for TC or a regional campus?

I got the email on 2/11 and interviewed on 1/13.

I wrote mine without names because I was silly and didn't write them down/remember them after the interview. I don't think it looked bad necessarily, but I do wish I could've included them

 

[deleted1199641]

Twin Cities

Thanks, I have good stats and am IS. Interested in MN family med but not rural, so I guess we will see what happens.

Any idea whether UMN done with interview invites?

No clue - sounds like in previous years they've sent them out very late, but they've made a lot of changes between last cycle and this one, so we seem to be flying blind a little bit 🙃

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

fwiw they haven’t put any new interview dates on padlet this week but they could just be behind.

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

Is anyone able to share the padlet link please

it was sent to interviewers for thank u notes. i don’t know if they want that link floating around. if u interviewed u should have received it 🙂

Is there any way to get specific feedback about my application/interview? My application is riddled with research at U of M medical school, working with objectively very prestigious people at the U of M and affiliated hospitals, etc. I felt my interview went very well and my interviewers told me I would be a really good fit for the school and that they hoped I picked the U of M. Even 2 of my letter writers have graduate degrees from the U of M, but I was flat-out rejected. Both my GPA and MCAT are above the averages. Clearly, they didn't like something because I wasn't even waitlisted. I'm just so confused. Is it crazy to email the admissions office asking for more information? Sorry for the rant.

Sorry to hear that...... IS or OS? Good Luck with other colleges.

Congrats!! Any tips on reapplying to the U?

Biggest differences between my application last year and this year were work hours (additional year of working as an MA) and having more direction about what I wanted to do as a physician/why I want to go into medicine (volunteer, life experience, etc)... Also reached out to any resources I could get in touch with at the U to learn more about the school

Keep your head up!!! It can be a long process

Historically they have not given specific feedback on applications. Obviously I can't comment on your interview, but would happy to review part or all of your application if having current student feedback would be helpful. Feel free to DM.

Yes, IS and submitted in mid august. They did skip my submission date according to admit.org so not sure what to expect.
