Yep, bright and early LOLLL

Were you OOS or IS? Their stats on their website look like an approximately 80% secondary to II rate. What do you think went wrong?

OOS with super strong ties, i heard from one of my friends that it is super competitive this year due to their increased class size but they gave me the option to get feedback on my app so we shall see what they say

+1 IS Waitlist (interviewed 10/15, got answer on 10/30)

Super interesting how this process works. I interviewed earlier than this and have not received anything.

Where'd you see that? Their site says last year they had 626 IS apps and 283 completed IS interviews. OOS percentage is way lower.

I think @not_houseMD is referring to the fact that they reported in their FAQ that ~400 secondaries go out for ~300 interview spots, of course (with all data), context is key and the number of OOS interviews that went out is significantly less than IS

Anyone know when the next round of decisions will be?

 

[lifting_queenie]

What interview date were y'all assigned?

I just saw this sorry- but it’s in mid January

 

[premedhon]

I just saw this sorry- but it’s in mid January

when did they tell you this? that feels so far 🙁

 

[lifting_queenie]

They told me in October and they select the interview date for you. I think it’s just the nature of rolling admissions. I submitted my primary much later than most people- like early August. Then my secondaries were submitted in September to early Oct. My recent interview invite at UMass is scheduled around the same time in mid-Jan bc those were the dates available so that helped me feel better abt ETSU 😅.

I totally misread this thread lol i thought you were responding to someone who asked about when the next round of decisions would be released! hopefully not until mid january!

Are interviewers blinded to gpa and mcat during the open-file portion of the interview?

 

[Cosecant1234]

Is anyone getting a "File or directory not found" message when attempting to login to the portal?

yes

Any chance we get some decisions today?

+1 OOS A!!! (from waitlist)

 

[wao2221]

+1 OOS A!!!

Congrats! Guess that answers my question above lol

 

[premedhon]

+1 OOS A!!!

Congrats !! I just got waitlisted. Did you sent any update letters or letters of intent?

 

[Qdogz]

+1 OOS WL

 

[premeds04]

+IS WL
Does anyone know the average timeframe for getting off a waitlist?
For example, if you got waitlisted this month, is there a chance you could get an A next time admissions meets? Or will they wait till they finish all interviews?

Did you get it around the same time the others posted? Trying to determine if it was a mass email. I’m not exactly sure how their waitlist works.

Yes, it seems like a mass email

 

[sbwinter]

I didn’t, I got waitlisted like 3 weeks ago and was going to give it a little longer just bc I dont know the timeframe to send them out at lol.

I got off the waitlist in less than a month so I’m guessing they could move quick with it

Okay that’s very reassuring thank you 🙂

That is awesome! Congrats!

Anyone who heard back today from the 11/3 interview day?

 

[premeds04]

Mine was 11/10

 

[Boat4Sail]

interviewed 10/8, +1 oos waitlist LM 69

 

[tnfuturepedsonc]

Did anyone else hear from the 11/10 interview day? I am so confused by this process

 

[wao2221]

One of the above commenters did. I interviewed 11/3 and didn’t hear anything.

From looking at admit.org, it looks like mostly high stat applicants are receiving decisions from them first. Must be their way of filtering post-II

interviewed 11/13, +1 IS WL, LM 68

Fingers crossed we will hear some decisions today before their office closes for Thanksgiving!

If the trend from last years thread follows, then this past Friday would be the last we hear about decisions for this month and next decisions won't be sent out until first or second week of December

Just weird that this year there was only one acceptance given this past Friday and a bunch of waitlists... I'm holding hope that they have not made the calls yet for acceptances.

Interesting, I didn't realize how many As vs WL were given Friday. Maybe you're right

 

[Cosecant1234]

Would be very saddening to not hear anything this afternoon.

It almost seems like they are waitlisting most applicants just to give applicants a decision before Thanksgiving. Hopefully, there will be As/ waitlist movement when they return from Thanksgiving.

I am really hoping for some good news tomorrow. Fingers crossed there are some As

I doubt we hear anything this today after coming off a holiday weekend

Tbh when I interviewed I think they said next committee meeting wasn't until Dec 19th

That is terrible news. Was hoping to get an answer before the 15th and hopefully save $1500 on my DO deposit

What day did you interview?

 

[pulsatilepony]

What day did you interview?

11/12

 

[Cosecant1234]

11/12

I definitely would not get excited about hearing anything on that date. Seems like multiple committee meetings can go by without hearing a single word.

 

[copewhit]

Just want to confirm, I asked and they said the next meeting day is for sure 12/19. If you don’t hear on that day (or days that follow if it takes all day) then 1/30 will be the next date for an admissions meeting
