Received II for the PRIME program yesterday (IS, submitted mid-July) but the earliest available interview date was not until 12/2024. Did other PRIME applicants experience the same?
Also does anyone know if there's a way to get an earlier interview date? For example, if someone has to reschedule their interview, is there a way to know that an interview slot is open sooner?
 
Hi all, sorry if this was already mentioned, but what are your thoughts on reusing the autobiographical sketch from my last app cycle? Not much changed, except I can add a few paragraphs about my latest activities, but alot of might be the same.
 
Hey everyone! For those who were interviewed, was there a timer for 2 minutes, and then did the interviewer show up in the room? I'm just wondering I know how much time I have to articulate answers
 
Honest opinion requested:

I submitted my secondary 9/20. How cooked am I?

I have TX II's so my fate does not hang in the balance fortunately
 
i missed the 1 month deadline for my secondary, is there any point in trying to submit the secondary now?

not sure if it's a strict deadline, but I would submit ASAP if you're almost done. If not, maybe focus on other secondaries and work on this in parallel

So far no interview at all from any college. Anyone on the same boat. Freaking out.

It’s still early! Some people don’t get their first II until later in the calendar year, others don’t until winter or even spring.
 
This is just my 2 cents but I would at most be only cautiously hopeful.

From last cycle, I don’t recall many holds converting to II, and we also didn’t have any WLed convert to As.. It was a long and grueling cycle lol
 
Looks like UCSD is just sending out interview holds. what's going on with them
