Is everyone from that October interview date hearing back today, or are they ignoring all the wl’s and r’s
 
Application complete 9/3, experience review 9/9, under consideration for phone interview 9/15, and phone interview invite today on 10/16. I'm OOS with an LM just under 68 so I was surprised (though extremely grateful) to receive an invite. I live on Michigan's state border so that could also be another factor
 
I just received the 'experience review' email a second time 2 months later. Anyone know what this means or why I'd get it again?
 
I think someone a couple weeks ago posted that they are 50% complete w phone IIs
Yes, according to their 10/3 update email I got:

"I hope this email finds you well! 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 phone interview. We have conducted roughly 50% of our phone interviews thus far. We will continue to invite applicants (roughly 800) for a phone interview on a rolling basis until the end of January. Your application has been and will be reviewed at each admissions committee meeting throughout the entire cycle. Our virtual interviews begin Friday, October 4th and will conclude Friday, March 14th. We are still very early in the cycle as we have only given out 15% of our virtual interview spots thus far."

ty! j combed through my spam box and got the same email in there. oops...
 
How was the phone interview? What sorts of questions were asked? Thanks!
My interviewer was very nice, friendly, down to earth. Felt like catching up with my grandpa lol. Questions ranged in topic from explain typical pre-med experiences, to explaining how you overcome adversity, some brain teaser questions, some ethical scenario based questions. I didn’t think it was unusual or weird like most people have previously described. Seemed pretty normal to me lol
 
People who got phone interviews how long after the email saying you were under consideration for a phone interview did they inform you about extending a phone interview?

They set up scheduling for the phone interview through the portal! Details about that come in the email that tells you that you've been invited to complete a phone interview.
 
If they are extending offers today, they'll most likely start sometime within the next ~40 minutes and stop ~4pm est or 5pm est
 
Has anyone else been under review for a phone interview for about 2 months now? Not really sure what to make of it, I should have an update soon, and I REALLY like this school. If anyone has any tips, please let me know
