3. if this is your first application to the UNMC College of Medicine, but not your first application to medical school, what is your rationale for applying to UNMC this cycle? (750)
4. What is your personal rationale for applying to the UNMC College of Medicine, especially if you are not from Nebraska? (1000)
5. Have you had a personal interaction with UNMC faculty or advisors that prompted your application to UNMC College of Medicine (N/A if not applicable) (750)

(btw there appear to be no MD-PhD specific prompts)

Thanks @Grass1

In contrast to most schools which don't have a "why us?" essay,
Nebraska reaaaallly wants to know this and questions 2, 3, 4, and 5 are all "Why Nebraska" questions.

They are a smaller population state with only 1 medical school.
They interview almost all their IS applicants (230/262) and matriculated 105 in 2023, with OOS stats about 10% of applicants interviewed and 27 matriculated.

Nebraskans, stake your claim!

Do you feel it went well?

 

[biz2dr]

Do you feel it went well?

I think they mean they received an interview invite on 9/3 and 9/12... I think the first interviews coming up for RD applicants is next week. (Or at least that what was the earliest available when I got my interview invite in July).

 

[Smiller005]

I believe they said 10/1. Tuesday.

 

[medicalbaddie]

Do you feel it went well?

Sorry--i received my interview invitation on 9/12. The earliest date I could interview was 10/25
