if ur interviewing here in march r u basically just interviewing for a WL spot? don't wanna get my hopes up
 
I have an interview coming up but I am way below the schools median for mcat (510). This is one of my top schools and I’m grateful I got an II but what’s the probability of them accepting low stats if I don’t really have a unique app. Apologies if this seems like a useless post

IMO, if you got an II then they like you enough that your MCAT doesn’t matter as much as you think it does. I wouldn’t say your MCAT is no longer relevant in the process, but it seems they didn’t think it was an issue. Just be yourself on the interview and try to connect with the interviewers

would definitely say that to throw that out the window. From receiving MULTI acceptances with a low lm63 this cycle, 99% is already there with the interview. Now its a character fit, and definitely embrace ur app like its the most unique thing possible, it would give u confidence when answering. GOOD LUCK!!!
 
anyone who has interviewed here mind sharing how it was? I interview early next month and wondering how the interview is
Pretty chill IMO, I had 2 interviews with 2 physicians at Stony. One of them was pressed for time and lasted only 10 min. Just asked about my app and one ethical question. The other was 45 min and we talked about how we had similar lives growing up with a single mom and the obstacles we faced. Very personable and kind people on mine, and I’ve heard others have had the same experience

Bumping my old Q; not sure if you had any insight on this "Does RSOM review LORs before determining IIs, or are they like some schools that only consider them afterward?"

Thanks! For the ethical question, would you recommend I review the UW ethics page?
 
Does anyone remember if during the interview day Alyssa said send updates and whatnot to the portal and email them to let them know, or to just directly email them the update?
