UC is getting rid of MMI this year. They were the first MD school to implement MMI. I wonder what that might mean for other schools, and how much different/harder it will be to get accepted post-interview here. There is supposed to be a KIRA (asynchronous) situational judgement test/interview, and then a 1:1 faculty interview.

this is simply bc it was hard to get volunteers to do the MMIs since they are so people/time intensive. Coming from someone at UCCOM!

The secondary gives you the opportunity to talk about your IA (if applicable) in 2 separate questions:

- Were you ever the recipient of any institutional action (e.g., disciplined, probation, suspended, dismissed or other action) by any college, university or medical school for unacceptable academic performance or conduct violation, even though such action may not have interrupted your enrollment or required you to withdraw? If 'Yes' please explain fully in the space below.

- Discuss any elements of your application that you feel might be concerning to the Admissions Committee. (This could include explanation of metric trends, institutional actions, legal violations, etc.). Please enter N/A if you have no concerns to report.

I had an academic IA (without going too much in depth... received warning and zero on pre-lab assignment after referring to someone else's). I wrote about this in AMCAS and responded to the first prompt above, showing genuine growth and dedication to integrity. I'm stuck on whether to expand even more on what I learned and how I grew in the second prompt above, which would most definitely read as very redundant, or just skip that prompt all together.

What are your thoughts chat?

Literally anytime between now and May, chill and enjoy life in the meantime

It depends. If you applied EDP like I did, sometime in August-September. Decisions go out on Oct 1. Otherwise, it'll be by May.

Is the portal down for anyone?

Is it bad not to answer the Ohio ties prompt? I have an uncle who lives there, but I haven't talked to him in years. Not sure how much I could stretch

Cinci isn't as instate heavy as it used to be. Not a death sentence like trying to apply to KY schools w/o Ties. Better to not write anything than lie about it and get caught.

Questions sound like they really want to weed out any bad apples. I had an accident a few years ago when I was still an inexperienced idiot, and thankfully only thing that happened was it got dropped when I showed up in online court (the cop was very lenient, but my insurance rates spiked all the same). I imagine I can just answer "no" to #3.

Wonder why the questions are really just not asking much beyond "why us", gap year, reapplicant, and ties. If it's just mainly primary they're looking at, bravo to them

You're welcome to try it and report back 🙂

I was never "convicted" or "pled guilty". Literally showed up, the court official said "yeah since it's your first offense we're just gonna let you go with no issues at all". But in hindsight I will just write about it anyways.
