IS A!!!!! Reapplicant - I am so so happy!!!! Interviewed 1/17

Congrats!! Any tips on reapplying to the U?

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

 

[galaxybrain]

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.

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.

[livemas]

OOS II today. no ties. seems very late but we’ll take it

 

[phenolphthalein_pink]

For accepted students - is the "Accept" option in the Offer Response tab a commitment to enroll? I plan to go here but don't wanna hit the big red button until I have all of my **** together 😅

I think it’s just saying yes to hold your seat but until you choose the school in AMCAS it’s not an official commitment

 

[skier2108]

Anybody know if/when more interview dates could be ?

 

[medschoolplease1]

How close to the 6-8 weeks after interview mark were decision put out for most people?

 

[gasces]

How close to the 6-8 weeks after interview mark were decision put out for most people?

I heard back 3 weeks after my interview

 

[7voe]

How close to the 6-8 weeks after interview mark were decision put out for most people?

I heard 11 weeks after but with both Thanksgiving and Christmas in that timeframe

 

[0pal]

I heard back 3 weeks after my interview

when did you interview?

 

[2ndgrade_surgeon]

How close to the 6-8 weeks after interview mark were decision put out for most people?

They said in my early Feb interview that they are getting back to applicants faster than those who interviewed earlier in the season.

 

[gasces]

when did you interview?

I interviewed 1/30 and heard back Thursday (2/20)

 

[cuddlefish93]

Are we able to call admissions to get any sort of timeline if it’s been more than 6-8 weeks or is it best just to wait?

 

[soggyfroggy]

I wouldn't! They aren't going to see your email and be like "Oh hey we should get back to them sooner". It took 9 weeks for me to hear back but I got an A. Take not hearing back for a bit as a good sign. Typically if you hear back quickly it means R or W.

 

[mountainmedicine]

I haven't seen anything about rejections going out yesterday or today. Isn't it typically the Tuesday after acceptances?

 

[medschoolfailure12]

since they don't accept pre-II updates, do you think it would be worth it to email admissions saying that I am still interested in interviewing here?

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

any insight on how financial aid works here? i know abt the scholarships we can apply for and stuff but i mean in terms of merit aid

 

[barbiedoc07]

On the finaid app you fill out on the accepted students site it mentions something about the info being used for a variety of different need-based and scholarships based on achievements/interests (so I assume merit as well)! They also have recruitment scholarships for OOS but I’m unsure about IS. They may negotiate so once aid comes out you could potentially leverage any other aid offers you have! Otherwise yeah those essay scholarships are need+fit based

My daughter heard back almost exactly 9 weeks later (accepted at UMD campus - phone call came on Wed), which included Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

[DrDrDrDr2022]

Are they still sending out II?

 

[medschoolplease1]

Has anyone who interviewed Jan 8th week heard back? For regional campus?

 

[daisysky1009]

Are they still sending out II?

Cycletrack shows an interview went out on last Friday (2/28)

 

[mountainmedicine]

I do not know specifically for Jan 8th week, but I've seen people who have interviewed as late as 1/30 hear back with acceptance from TC.

 

[IncredibleRatatouille]

Are they still sending out II?

According to CycleTrack somebody got a II yesterday, 03/05

 

[7voe]

Does anyone know if we hear back about independent scholarships (i.e. Karleen/Valentine Scholarship) at the same time as our estimated financial aid offer (early April)?

 

[OdiS]

3/6 IS Waitlist, II on 1/27

 

[LebronJamesFan]

3/6 IS waitlist. II on 8/22. Stings a bit since why did it take SO LONG!!😢

Does anyone know when waitlist movement typically occurs?

 

[mountainmedicine]

3/6 IS Waitlist, Mid-Jan Interview.

 

[mountainmedicine]

3/6 IS waitlist. II on 8/22. Stings a bit since why did it take SO LONG!!😢

The U remains high on my school list tho, but I guess since I’ve been accepted at other schools, I really can’t be all too unhappy about the cycle.

Does anyone know when waitlist movement typically occurs?

I've heard May since the official AMCAS commit to enroll date is April 30th and interviews often go until the end of March.

 

[premed_116]

IS waitlisted today. Interviewed on 1/15 for regional campuses

 

[DrDrDrDr2022]

OOS R TODAY

 

[BAKINGisLYFE]

IS R today, pre-interview. Interviewed and was waitlisted last cycle 💔💔💔

 

[IncredibleRatatouille]

OOS pre-II R today. Must say, not a big fan of the seven months of radio silence b/w secondary submission and any news being sent.

 

[Learn4Life]

IS pre-II R today. Expected after not hearing back for this long, but was still hopeful for at least an interview this cycle as IS :/

 

[nolemedgirl]

+1 OOS Pre-II R this afternoon

 

[medicineprincess1999]

+1 IS Pre-II R... I'll see you guys here next year 🙂

 

[Premed20006]

I was a waitlisted applicant last year and now I’m an MS1 @ UMN. DM me if yall have any questions

 

[daisysky1009]

Anyone else that still hasn't received a II or pre-II R?

 

[FreyjaNevaeh]

Anyone else that still hasn't received a II or pre-II R?

I haven’t, the waiting is horrible. I was confirmed complete in August so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’m also IS.
