If one got an auto-interview-invite, where is it found? Any idea what quals are needed for one?

pitt is only auto-invite in the sense that they seem to choose people based on numbers and/or the AMCAS to receive an interview the day after submitting the secondary. it seems automatic because they give the interviews without having time to read over the secondary application or receive the LOR's. you get an email.

no one knows the cutoffs

I'll let you in on this secret. If you have a 4.0 GPA and scored a 45 on the MCAT you will get an interview invite from Pitt 99.99% of the time (the 0.01% accounts for failures related to the email system and such...)

3.8 and 38 will do it i tells ya

It looks like Ohio State did some automatic interviews this year.

My impression is that UPitt screens on the primary + stats.

I submitted my Pitt at 11 pm and got an interview invite at 5 am the next morning. Maybe they have little elves working around the clock in a factory full of secondaries. I have around a 3.55 science and 33 MCAT. I definitely did not get an automatic for U Mich.

I have a 3.95 and 33 MCAT. No auto-invite. Unless they are looking at subscores, it must not be automatic based on numbers.

3.7 37. Submitted 2ndary over a week ago and still nothing.

 

[Erina]

i have a 3.98 overall/3.96 BCPM and a 35 MCAT. got the auto invite. that's why i think it's not purely numbers...numbers are probably a part of it, but maybe they also look at the AMCAS. i think they selected people ahead of time to get the invite as soon as the secondary was submitted.

I also get the impression somehow that they screen AMCAS apps, and if they like yours enough, you get put on a electronic list and once you submit the 2ndary you'll get an invite.

 

[Hypothalamus]

I believe that I earned automatic invites at OSU and Pittsburgh. My stats can be found in my MDApps. profile.

One of the admins/deans at U Michigan said the auto-interview cutoff for out of state was 37 and 3.75 I think.

In the online chat the guy said 3.8/38 for OOS and 3.8/36 for instate. Can't be rock solid though, because people are definetly getting them with scores lower than that. Maybe they look at your work/activities etc and tally for research or clinical or something else.
