How long does it usually take to get an interview invite? I received a II on 9/26 and submitted on 10/04, and my PREview scores were released on 10/15. I know it can take a while, but, like, i'm dying 
.
And congrats to those who've been accepted!

Anyone know if I should send a pre-II update letter soon, or wait till after Thanksgiving or so? I really want to go here!
They don’t accept updates, unfortunately.

Oh interesting! Is it like a space to ask questions? Or will the dean go through info session related things?
It’s part of the mmi

i would watch mmi prep videos on my way to work and when doing chores. The interview is easy and doesnt require much prep

A earlier today! Oct interview 🙂
I've heard of some qualified applicants who thought their interview went well getting the R. Makes me wonder if they give out a certain percentage of interviews solely for their research about AAMC Preview
That would be a waste of an interview slot though. I would think the preview information and research would come alongside their normal applicant selection for interviews and not vice versa.

With davis having such a mission focused class, even those with good interviews and solid stats may get rejected/WL. Very similar to UC Riverside, you can be qualified and have a good interview, but they want a very specific mission fit.
i really want an II here, i'm from the area, but then again so many people also are hahah
True, but I'd imagine there's some folks out there with 1/9 Preview + solid GPA/MCAT who they normally wouldn't have interviewed just to see what's up.

sameee im literally from sac lol. manifesting for us!
Sactown represent! Maybe they'll let me in if I profess my love for the Kings.
They literally had slides of students at Kings games in the information session 🤣 it MIGHT work.
if we havent received a secondary by now, do we just assume we wont be getting one? My mcat was received 9/24 and nothing yet
I think you're still in the running until January. From the seminars I attended the adcom member said they do a holistic screen and if you don't pass it, you're put into a separate pile that they keep revisiting throughout the cycle. I'd wager a human has seen your app by this point though so not sure if it's good news
Does getting a secondary from here mean anything? I got mine within hours of it being verified, but no ii
Roughly 10% of in state applicants get an interview, so the odds are decent if your app fits their mission.

Has anyone who interviewed/been accepted apply to any of the special programs (community health scholar pathways)? I'm wondering if they only interview for these later on in the cycle.

the people that got II today, what was your completion dates?
Doesn’t look like the cycle track interviewees are SDN’ers.

Well, cycletrack is user submitted data, just like sdn
I feel like disadvantaged folks don’t utilize SDN or cycle track as much. So 519 makes sense for here, given that they interview so many disadvantaged applicants.
Makes sense. Honestly it feels their class composition is a ton of 500-505's with a sprinkle of 518-525's to drag the mean up.

Those with higher stats likely feel more comfortable discussing their cycle and also would likely know what SDN and Cycle track are. I was super disadvantaged growing up, if I never met my fiance I wouldn't even know these resources exist for pre meds.
