[redtrain21]

Anyone able to go to a different information session than the week of their interview?

 

[tomatosoup1]

Post II CR

 

[carrotcake8]

Post II R. Definitely stings more than the rest 🙁

 

[syrupedbacon]

Post II R. damn that hurts 🙁

 

[PotatoBean]

Out of curiosity: what interview date are the current crop of post-II R's coming from?

Oct 1/2

 

[Spidey2002]

Post-II R . . . LM 83 and Oct. 2 interview date. NYU was my first II and I feel like I must've bombed it pretty bad 🙁

 

[roodiehoo]

Anyone who interviewed Oct 1/2 but hasn't heard back yet?

When do they generally give out most As? Is it December or January?

 

[deleted1177265]

When do they generally give out most As? Is it December or January?

Dean Rivera said in my interview session that the season lasts from September through the end of December / first week of January, and he’d like for 33% of As to be sent out in the first half of that timeframe and 66% of As to be sent out in the second half. The intent is to help ensure that applicants who interview later in the cycle aren’t at a disadvantage, and to get all A’s out early enough that folks can attend the first look event in January.

Also, the acceptances are done manually (as others in the thread have stated, he calls twice on Friday and maybe Tuesday afternoons), and thus, they take longer to deliver than the post II rejections and CR emails (which seem to be done automatically 3-4 weeks after an interview, as a courtesy).

If you’re feeling uneasy about the waiting… you’re not alone My fingers are crossed for us!

 

[dennasdc]

Anyone on CR heard anything yet? Or know when we can expect to?

 

[tomatosoup1]

Anyone on CR heard anything yet? Or know when we can expect to?

I think I heard it can be at any point between now and Dec/Jan if it’s an acceptance? But from what I saw from last years SDN, most acceptances were released in late December and rejections and WLs in early January

 

[bloomingcactus]

Do people normally get CR and rejection emails on Friday?

 

[deleted1180326]

can someone from a recent interview day shed light on what dean rivera has said on the number of acceptances sent out? thanks!

It's a few posts above

 

[restorationtocome]

Hey y'all! I'm a OOS CR, and I'm wondering if update letters / letters of continued interest are of any use while on CR? I can't remember what Dean Rivera said (except that letters of intent should be sent if on the WL). Thanks!

IIRC he said don’t send them unless you’re on the WL

protecting my peace and turning off my phone sounds like the move 😭

Pre-II R today.

They do pre-II Rs? I thought it was all at the end... oof

same 🙁 yikes

 

[PotatoBean]

Got that CR email. 😔

IS; complete 07/03, interview 10/15.

Anyone who recalls: kindly school me on the difference between their continual review and waitlist? I remember that they make a distinction but can't recall what it was/is

 

[bloomingcactus]

+1 post-II CR, 10/17 info session/interview week

Most people get put on CR. It is not a waitlist but a true CR because they accept very few people right away in order to be more fair to those with later interview dates. I believe they said that the final decision A/R/WL will come in early January sometime before their second look weekend.

Much appreciated, thank you. 🙂

I know there is waitlist data on MSAR, but do we have any sense of the movement odds for the CR list?

 

[deleted1177265]

A little bit delayed because I've been ugly crying and jumping up and down for the past two hours... but I got the A today!!!

Best of luck to everyone on CR/WL/Interviewing, hoping many of us can be classmates down the road!

 

[deleted1185824]

+1 A!!! So so excited I still can’t believe it 😭

Good luck to everyone I’ll be rooting for you!!!

 

[abbeysistine]

I guess they just really weren't ****ing w my app like that LOL. But I'd assume no news is good news for everyone else! I applied with a sub 510 MCAT bc why not it wasn't on my dime so I assumed the chances were next to none. But I just don't believe in self-selecting out ever. Everyone who hasn't heard back yet is probably in a good spot!

 

[meticulousex36]

I also got the A (((((((🙂

were these acceptances off the continued-review pile? --someone on CR for over a month 😭😞

 

[pinkdrops]

+1 A!! Got the call at 2:30 PM CST

 

[deleted1177265]

congrats to all of you!!!

No this was pre-CR (at least for me) as I’d interviewed 3 weeks ago. However don’t lose hope, I remember Dean Rivera saying they are regularly pulling from the CR list to make A calls, and that the rate of CR acceptances will increase towards the end of the season (Nov/Dec). Hang in there friend, wishing for your success!!

 

[pinkdrops]

congrats to all of you!!!

I came off of continued review, interviewed 9/17

I was also on CR! I interviewed 10/1. LM 81.4

 

[Blahaha123]

Have anymore MSTP applicants heard back as well recently? Whether it's directly after interview or off the continued-review pile... --someone on CR for over a month as well 😭

 

[pinkdrops]

Just out of curiosity: stats?

LM score 77!

 

[curlydoctor]

Has anyone gotten a recent II?

 

[newkungfukenny]

Has anyone gotten a recent II?

Wondering the same esp for any august-sept submissions? Anyone heard anything (r we cooked)

Any advice for interview prep? It's coming up, my first MMI and I'm a little nervous >_<

First of all, congrats on getting the interview!

In terms of preparation, I felt that mock interviews, even traditional ones, were helpful for speaking practice. I’d also formulate a structure/approach for answering ethical scenario questions, but besides that, I feel like there’s not too much prep to do for MMIs! Also, my interviewers were all really nice, and when I wasn’t sure how to answer the question or when I gave a generic answer, they probed to help me come to a more concise response, if that makes sense. Be yourself, and I know you’ll do amazing!

This is what I did, YMMV:

[emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]]. Get into a consistent sleep routine and practice sleep hygiene (I.e., be mindful of screen time, caffeine, sound exposure, etc.) in the week(s) leading up.

[emoji[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]]]. Exercise regularly in a way that’s enjoyable

[emoji[emoji[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]]]. Meditate regularly to focus/be present in the moment.

Eat healthy foods that make you feel good. I asked ChatGPT for “healthy quinoa bowls for lunch that I can meal prep a week ahead of time” and it did not disappoint.

Review both MMI ethical questions and traditional personal questions. Pull up a list online, save as PDF, and then just go through each prompt and write a comment like “approach with story X” or “talk about Y, Z”. Make note of the ones that are harder in the sense that an immediate answer doesn’t come to mind.
