What does it mean if I submitted 8/24 and haven't heard anything but people who submitted in September are starting to hear back? Does this school usually go in order?

Yea honestly it’s a bit lack of transparency in most schools. What I have gathered around from asking around is that some schools have hidden cutoffs and/or some sort of rank System. Most likely they probably gave applications a glance and still don’t know what to do. I’ll take this a W , no rejections means consideration🫠 for me

The way I think about it is that they have likely put my application "on hold" and just don't inform the applicant.

[MrFutureDoc]

Interviewed late sept., and was told to expect a decision in November. So absolutely no chance I hear anything tomorrow? Want to be prepared just in case.

DD

 

[Pandamed011]

DD :/

 

[MrBear1999]

If it makes any of my DD friends feel better, a lot of people got accepted off of DD in past years.

To everyone who interviewed here - how did you prep for interviews? How much time did you spend? Any advice you can provide? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Just did basic MMI practice, nothing insane. The interview was very chill and the interviewers all had good follow up questions. Just speak calmly and articulate your points well you'll crush it

 

[Valerianux]

Anyone who interviewed on September 18 hear anything?

No, I'm pretty sure I remember the dean saying we should hear back early-mid November!

Giving me hope as an older non trad but sadly losing hope since I didn’t realize my app wasn’t complete for 6 weeks since they didn’t get my LOR update until I realized 3-4 weeks ago

Same

 

[Relaxative]

Does anyone know when the invitation for the October 29th student panel event will be sent out? I believe this is sent to individuals who have already interviewed.

 

[BiomedEGR777]

Has anyone made an accepted students chat?

 

[turnpip]

any tips for the interview and how to prep?

just review some basic MMI practice sets and go over some ethical concepts to review. good ones to recognize are advanced directives, patient autonomy, pt rights in health care. I try to treat MMIs like a Casper test, acknowledge all sides then have a definitive position that you can discuss

 

[mistermustachemom]

anyone can provide more details between the two campuses and your pros/cons for each?

 

[MrBear1999]

From talking to people on both the Connecticut and Burlington campuses, Connecticut seems to be better for hands-on/independent learners. In CT, you will have more opportunities to work with patients independently (with appropriate supervision), whereas in Burlington, you will have a lot less freedom to learn hands-on during clinical years. A con of the CT campus is you'll have to move from Burlington to CT before you start clinical, which is around the same time you'd start studying for/take Step 1. However, CT campus students said they felt like they had sufficient support during this/friends from campus helped them move/stipend for moving was provided. CT campus' community is a bit more close-knit because it is smaller, but seems to have less resources in terms of student organizations. CT is better if you want access to more city life (close to NYC), whereas Burlington is better if you like a small city and outdoor activities (hiking, skiing, snowboarding, etc).

Me too! I was wondering if anyone knows when's a good time to send an update letter. I'm very interested in this school, so it worries me! I submitted my secondary in early July as well. Thanks.

Most schools, and I think UVM included, only want updates post II and they want it to be a substantial update from what I remember from the interview

do you think it's useless to send a letter of interest pre-II?

 

[BiomedEGR777]

do you think it's useless to send a letter of interest pre-II?

Yes honestly I do. they said they vet their interview selections pretty thoroughly. I think from the numbers they gave last year it was 600 IIs out of 9800 applicants, so they are super specific about what they are looking for.

 

[mistermustachemom]

for the "why this campus" how long should we be writing...?

 

[mistermustachemom]

i have a few questions abt the campuses, if anyone who's a current student or knows a good bit abt them can answer!

I wrote two sentences about why I wanted to go to the CT campus. You could honestly get away with I prefer to go to X campus please and Im sure that would be fine

 

[LumberJackVT]

Bored M1 here procrastinating after an exam. Feel free to hit me with any questions you may have about Larner!

can u talk ab the 2 campuses?

 

[juicy_scooby]

I was reminded when interviewing at another school recently that some adcoms do actually track every interaction you have with them. I know Larner has rolling admissions and a thorough vetting process, but I as someone who submitted way back on June 29th I decided to start the pandering process by writing a short email asking about the status of my application. I'm not sure this will be consequential, and if so not sure it'll be positive or not, but I figure I'd rather come off as a little desperate at my top choice school than come off as aloof or uninterested.

Hoping for that later-in-the-cycle interview to roll in 😍

I don't think emailing them asking for status can hurt! Unless applicants become annoying and weird in emailing, I really don't think it can hurt (and ofc maybe there is a chance it'll help in a way)

 

[landhuman1234]

Still nothing submitted mid-august :/

 

[MrBear1999]

How did people prepare for the MMI? Is it exclusively ethical scenarios, or will there be a good mix of behavioral and traditional questions as well? Any advice would be much appreciated.

I am not sure, but I think discussing the types of questions violates the nondisclosure agreement. That being said, if you look up the MMI format online and follow the advice online, I am sure you’ll be great

 

[hermoninny]

Does this school have an interview tracker or release interview invites on a specific day of the week? It’s been pretty quiet

It seems like in the past they use Tuesdays... but I feel like its been unusually quiet from them for the past few weeks? Even admit.com doesn't have anything recently

 

[cheesegirlpuff]

Is it a bad look to not be able to attend their student session? Unfortunately, I had a conflict.

 

[prk92]

when's the next round of decisions?

 

[NSFF]

It’s fine~ it was a really chill session where they shared their experiences at different campuses. They also explicitly said that this session would not impact anything~ don’t worry!
