No, not yet.
Yeah thats probably it. I got the portal today and it says "awaiting decision", with no questions or anything. The secondary must be the questions we had to write to apply
Not yet
It’s embedded in the primary, I think you should only get a confirmation email that they received your app
When did you submit primary?
Primary submitted 7/2
I submit early June and mine still says awaiting decision😭
You got this!
Did you also submit early?
Submitted 6/2
I submitted 5/30, that's strange we havent seen any updates yet
Are there international students at the school. Trying to figure out my chances.
Yes! We do have international students. I don't know what our statistics are percentage-wise, but I know we have a fair amount, especially from Canada.
hey i have a 501 mcat, 3.9gpa and a 3.85sgpa, very solid ECs too.
What are your 3rd year rotations like? Do you have to move around quite a bit or do you have a hub you're located at?
Are you planning to rewrite MCAT regardless? If so, there's no need to delay application. Honestly, I know people who have gotten in with lower MCAT and stellar everything else. That being said, the average MCAT is rising each year, so there's no guarantees. But Midwestern is all about holistic review.
Midwestern breaks their rotations up into Regions. You submit your preferences for Region during winter of first year, similar to the Match process, if your familiar with how that works. Then a few weeks later, you will get assigned to your Region. Most people get assigned to something in their top 3. Rotations then are supposed to be within 60 miles of your location. If they are further, Midwestern is required to provide housing for $150/month (price may increase over the years I'm sure). Personally, most of my rotations have been about 20 minutes from me. That said, I do have a couple of friends who have had 45-60 minute commutes for a rotation here or there. The Regions include: East Phoenix, West Phoenix, Tucson, North LA, South LA, San Diego, Chicago, and Kankakee (IL). I'm not sure, but there might be one new one I'm missing?
Yes it does thank you!
For the most part, you don't get a say in where you rotate during 3rd year, outside of putting in a few preferences for consideration. They spin the sites and that's kind of how it goes. You are required to do two wards based rotations, one of which is IM. You get to submit what preferences you have for your second one and that will be taken into consideration, but not guaranteed. Some are more selective than others. For instance, I am doing pediatrics and there are only a handful of rotations available to Midwestern at Phoenix Children's Hospital, which our Vice Chair assigns based on expressed interest, involvement, and grades. But not all specialties are that competitive. Surgery, for instance, tends to have a lot of Wards spots and students without a specific preference often end up on it. So if that's your desire, it's easier to get that assigned.
go ahead and apply! I think our avg was around a 504 // 3.55 so you should still be competitive!
i just offically submitted my application to aacomas and im waiting on them to veriffy it.
Got an interview and want to know the process
Got an interview and want to know if you can guide on how it's conducted ? What they like to ask etc
It's been a while since I interviewed now. But I don't think it has changed much. They do a single 30 minute interview with two interviewers at once. They only had access to our personal statements and activities, no grades. The questions I got really focused on things in my personal statement and interests. (We actually spent 10 minutes of it discussing DnD.) I know some others got some more generic questions. But really, they're just looking to have a good conversation with you.
Did you get accepted or joined ?
I was accepted a few weeks later.
Same. My app has been under review for months
I submitted primary on the day it opened (May 7 I think) and received the portal email 9 weeks later
sent primary on 9/22, received portal link today, status - awaiting decision. All items are in. Does is mean complete/under review?
I think so
