Congrats!! When did you submit your secondary?

I remember there being more, did they shorten the number of essays required?
I suppose so. Maybe they felt it was too much?
Gotcha, thanks so much. You were able to log into the app and it was just these 4 below?
Yes, just those two main ones and then the ones about past applicants.
Congrats!
Same. I submitted 6/3
My app was still on Screen Review even when I received an interview invite (and actually still shows that status).
Hi! I'm a current OMS-1 and did this last year. I had never heard of this either but it was really nice actually. It was a group of about 8 people at Panera. They provided dinner and the admissions rep just gave us a mini presentation on the school and we got to ask any questions we had. We also got some free merch after too
Awesome, congrats! When did you submit? Were you part of any EDP program?
Okay gotcha - my LM is, I think, 64. However, I have very strong leadership, extracurriculars, LOR, and clinical experience so I'm hoping that brings my chances up a bit.
Congratulations future doc! When did you submit / interview?
Congrats! What was the format of the interview?
It was very conversational; it felt very comfortable the entire time.
Congrats! When did you interview?
My interview was on 8/14!
Congratulations, future Doctor!
Thank you, and congrats to you too! I was in the second group of interviewees!
Don't bring your parents to a medical school interview. Invite them to your white coat ceremony after you're accepted.
I interviewed last week (still awaiting a decision) and it was actually really enjoyable. Interviews are in-person so anticipate having to plan for travel if necessary. The day starts around 9/930am and goes until about 2pm. My interview day had 4 other interviewees and we started with an overview presentation of VCOM-Virginia. After that we had our individual interviews which were about 45 minutes long and conducted with two interviewers. We had about 30 minutes of getting asked questions and 15 minutes of getting to ask questions. We then had a group interview followed by a tour of campus and Blacksburg. Ended the day with a conclusion presentation about next steps. Feel free to PM if you have any other questions, happy to help however I can!
Congrats! How long after your application complete email did you get the II?
Congrats! When did you interview?
Thanks! I interviewed on 8/26.
Great! That was a fast turnaround! What are your stats? Are you in-state?
