Did anyone get a confirmation email after scheduling interview?

Just got mine within the last hour.

 

[actual789]

just to double check -- i never got a confirmation email from this school when submitting my app, just a general email about the federal regulation disclosures... anyone else?

I didn’t get one either. I know someone who emailed after not getting a confirmation email and keck said their app was received

Don't tweak! Your interviewers want you to succeed -- turn the nervousness into excitement to tell them about yourself and your potential as a future doctor.

 

[premedbarista]

super nervous for the interview, does anyone know if it's closed or open file?

[blueberry55]

hi! has anyone received an II recently? i submitted 8/3 and haven't heard back yet

 

[bluebeluga02]

Anyone know when decisions will be out for those who interviewed in September?

 

[diltiazemm]

Anyone know when decisions will be out for those who interviewed in September?

i remember being told it will take 4-6 weeks to receive a decision... but last year they took wayyy longer than that to send decisions (looking at old sdn threads, people who interviewed in early october received A in mid-december)... so we'll see😭

 

[not_houseMD]

For OOS applicants to this school: are you concerned about your ability to bag a california baddie and is it a factor in your decision making if offered admission? Thanks in advance

 

[bananas2002]

Have they sent oos II yet?

Also a september II here and was told expect a decision between 5-6 wks from Dean Phung. Idk if Dean Arias is still involved so it'll be interesting to see what the process will be like and if the trend of Thursday A calls will continue. Someone on admit said they were told to email if no decision after 5 weeks. Has anyone else heard this during their interviews?

 

[chailatte36]

So i got an II but scheduled really quickly and in the secondary portal there's no like confirmation of my date/time... Just says "thank you for scheduling." will they send out a reminder email with a Zoom link or any confirmation whatsoever prior to interview? I know my date/time I just am neurotic and want to see it confirmed.

in the exact same boat now, regret not reading the instructions closer

 

[d1tweaker]

well, +1 IS alternate list 😭

 

[qp2937]

wait did you receive an email? Mind if I ask when you interviewed?

 

[d1tweaker]

yeah, 9/28 interview

 

[bluebeluga02]

did anything change in your portal?

 

[rettygologama]

Is Keck moving really slowly or is it just my perception?

 

[qp2937]

Do y'all think the post II acceptance rate on admit.org is accurate? According to it, seems like they really do interview a few people with around 70% post II acceptance rate.

I believe it. They’re known to be super selective with IIs.

 

[shadowclaw77]

Have they sent oos II yet?

I am wondering this too

 

[SilentCavalier]

I'll pipe up - is this week the week for decisions?

 

[shinymagikarp]

OOS Pre-II R just now

 

[ltrace25]

OOS pre-II R LM 70

 

[hommefatale]

what timeframe does this school usually accept students? all at once, or rolling

 

[SilentCavalier]

Rolling. Last year the first couple rounds of interviews all got their decisions at once around Christmastime. New admissions dean this year and they said they’re gonna really try to abide by their turnaround time of 4-6 weeks. First round of interviews is coming up on the end of that estimate.

Federal disclosures email 9/10

Damn you got three II last year and no A? I'm worried. I thought the phrase was "interviews three a doctor you'll be" ?

 

[ltrace25]

When did y'all submit?

8/4

 

[MsLeafpool]

[Suchagoodpersonman]

[spork3546]

Did anyone not get a federal disclosures email?

 

[MsLeafpool]

it feels like with how competitive med school is getting these past years, that phrase is becoming dated :'(

 

[not_houseMD]

It's a massacre on admit.org...

Are these R's rolling throughout the day or did they all get sent at the same time (will I be spared) ?

 

[igotatext]

Did all the Rs go out at the same time? Sorry I am just refreshing my inbox an embarrassing number of times, and im wondering if i have escaped this wave or it is actually coming in like five minutes lol

not sure, got mine a few minutes after ppl posted about their R so maybe rolling?

 

[not_houseMD]

together we pray

 

[premed_1234]

I submitted early August and haven’t heard anything yet. I’m hoping I survived this R wave but if they’re rolling them out slowly who knows 😕
