Just got another email about being under phone interview consideration for the second time nearly a month after the initial…seems to be a pre interview hold saying I’ve been reviewed and will be reviewed again at every admissions meeting
-_-

This process is so depressing and draining
Just got their monthly update email as well. I wouldn't read into it too much. This school just likes sending that monthly email.

But yes, this process is extremely draining. Going through it a second time is rough too.

Just received an email saying my application is under review for a virtual interview. They are sending the first round of IIs this week!
Was your app already under review for a virtual interview? After you have the phone II, you're automatically moved to consideration for virtual II
 
Email update I got:

Our goal throughout this admissions cycle is to be as transparent as possible, to keep you up-to-date of your status, where we are in the admissions process, and to do those things monthly. With that being said, your application is currently under review for a virtual interview. We will send our first round of virtual interview invites out this week! We will continue to invite applicants (roughly 450) for a virtual interview on a rolling basis until mid-March. Your application has been and will be reviewed at each admissions committee meeting for a virtual interview throughout the entire cycle. Our virtual interviews begin Friday, October 4th and will conclude Friday, March 14th.

I hope this email finds you well!

With that being said, your application is currently in queue to be reviewed by our experience reviewers.

what? like from experience review to phone interview?
no like my last email was under consideration for phone interview and yesterday they sent me an email saying under review for phone interview. It’s prob just a monthly update since that’s what the subject of the email was about.

Are you in state?
 
Just moved into it too. My LM's pretty close to yours, wondering if they are doing it by batches in that way.
Nope. Because mine is also around there and a bunch of other peoples. I had experience review late July/early August. They do it holistically, and in a med school way that none of us will ever actually understand lol.
