Members don't see this ad.

It seems like everyone who posts in this thread gets an interview so why not post? I got an interview this week but I figure I can claim hiatus status after a four day drought 🙂

 

[TinyHineyRikki]

I got three right away and then a two week break and then two in the same day. That was probably two weeks ago so I too am hoping NYU will keep this trend alive today.

 

[prettymonkey]

i got one today!!! POST! it helps.

Can't hurt, and sure beats the monkey dance of good luck that my coworkers were proposing.

 

[Jolie South]

totally on hiatus, but I'm not allowed to complain. i've been too busy interviewing to notice.

anyways, if there's anyone at baylor, northwestern, or yale listening, i'm still waiting.

actually nothing beats a monkey dance. 👍

 

[Starry0916]

Awww, I want some med school lovin' too!🙂

 

[Inuranic]

Inuranic demands more invites! (for December...)

I got 6 in a two week period, and then haven't heard a word since. This "post in this thread and then they appear" trick better work.

Come on...Friday is usually when stuff happens day!!!

Oh my I sound desperate...I have not heard any news in so long and the compulsive email checking it driving me insane.

 

[sunnyskies]

got two last week, but i still check my email every 30 minutes and the mailbox right at 3 when the mail lady comes!

nah that doesn't sound desperate, fridays definitely used to be the best day. i was really really upset last friday leaving work when i hadn't heard anything. and it looks like i'll leave work in the same mood this friday.

Didn't you just post a UVa invite? You haven't heard from a school for a whole 24 hours? Poor you.

UVa was more than a week ago actually - took me a while to post on that thread.

Ah... well you need to get with the program if you're taking a week to post interview invites 🙂

Hehe, thanks 🙂 Yeah I was a bit surprised with the score when I got it. Had luck on my side last August I guess!

How did you like AECOM? It wasn't what I expected at all (in a good way) and I was pretty impressed!

i liked it a lot. my interviewer was cool and all of the students seemed really really happy to be there. and the apartments are very nice and very cheap. i really hate that they do not even start giving decisions until january.

Yeah, the med student that gave us the tour was super friendly and showed us her apt, which was incredible for like $280??? lol I thought the facilities (that they showed us anyways) looked really good. It was only like 30 min to midtown via the express bus too. I think everyone who isn't from NY got the impression that the Bronx was going to be hardcore dangerous but it was totally a nice neighborhood 🙂

i hope posting here works, I've only gotten one interview from USC so far and I've been checking my inbox like crazy. there's been no word from anybody for weeks and weeks. 🙁

If you're talking about Keck, I'm incredibly jealous. It takes a lot of willpower to not walk the 100 feet to the admissions office to ask about my status 🙂

 

[medking]

Still waiting here. I just completed the only interview I have so far. Havent heard anything from the other schools for quite a while now. Medical schools, please show me some love.

 

[narretgrez]

posting for luck 🙂

 

[Green Apple]

Keep posting, everybody. It worked for me, and it WILL work for you.

 

[DianaUT06]

No more invites since early August. 🙁 I hate being a re-app, I'm so afraid I won't get in this year either. This whole applying OOS better work out...

 

[meelle]

oh how i wish i had an invite already lol still working on secondaries here cuz i applied a little late. but good luck to you all!

 

[drizzt3117]

Just made hotel reservations for Cleveland... even w/ interview rate it wasn't easy on my VISA... this is one thing that does temper my enthusiasm for future interviews 🙂

 

[ParvatiP]

I'll post...I haven't had an invite in nearly 4 weeks. I know I have a bunch of invites already so I'm not too worried, but still, it'd be nice to get another one soon.

 

[deuce924]

I had my 1 and only interview this week. I hope I get an acceptance so I can go on interview hiatus until residency comes along...

What did you think of downstate? how did it go? I am there on wednesday but i'm going to be exhausted from traveling for my tufts interview the day before...couldn't get my flight changed so i fly into philadelphia at 10:15pm, drive to ny, sleep at my parent's place, then go to the interview in the morning. I've never been there even though i grew up very close to it, so i'm curious as to what the facilities and the students are like.

 

[KublaiKhan]

Its been 3 agonizing weeks... did anyone hear anything from NYU this week? someone posted in another thread that they were going to send invites out this week.. I am thinking that it was foolish to get my hopes up over that statement. 😳

 

[narretgrez]

yea, waiting for NYU here too. so far it seems silent on SDN...
i really should make a website where people can set off alarms for interview invites. feel so in the dark not knowing where i stand in terms of interviews.

The facilities are ok, nothing to brag about but they were fine. The anatomy labs were nice. What seems to be unique at Downstate is that the students all get their own "carrels", which is a desk, file cabinet, and cabinet with a full set of books that they need that year, all located in these study rooms with a couple computers, pretty cool. We only saw the 2 students that conducted the tour, so I'm not sure if their opinions are representative of the entire student body, but they were really enthusiastic, really liked the school, and were really eager to answer our questions. They said their class (ms-2s) was really close and had a lot of fun together. So my impression of the school really improved after the interview.

This was my first time in Brooklyn (grew up in Suffolk County) too. But the ms-2s said they really liked living there.

One tip: If you have a morning interview, bring something with you to read. After your interview, you just sort of chill with the other interviewees until the tour at 12:45 so be prepared!

that's really cool about the study carrols. I grew up mostly in suffolk county too! glad you enjoyed it, and good luck. Do you know when they start announcing acceptances?

 

[Juice42]

Posting for Luck!

(come on come on I know it's after 5 pm on a friday... come on Yale)

 

[Jacks Mannequin]

Welcome to weekend hiatus, everybody. Hope everyone makes it.

 

[nyct]

hiatus? I'd just like to start... no interviews at all so far and I've been complete at 23 schools for a month...

 

[Aynsl156]

****, why not, it couldn't hurt...

Three invite by the end of August, another through snail mail two weeks ago. Nothing since.

Come on, med schools, let's be pen pals.

 

[WaterBottle]

when you guys said you were bugging the hell out of mt sinai and aecom what exactly did you do? you called them/emailed them and said what??? i'm curious!

 

[mvenus929]

I got 6 in a two week period, and then haven't heard a word since. This "post in this thread and then they appear" trick better work.

Seriously.

 

[gatormanade]

why not post, ill take any luck I can get.

I got an interview from Penn last tuesday (and that was my first) and nothing since

 

[ielman]

Yeh Im in a similar boat I've been complete at just over twenty schools for the past 2-3 weeks I think..got an interview to Drexel last week so far and that's it...I hope this post gets me some interview love!

 

[ParvatiP]

They said they would try to get decisions out a little after Oct. 15. Last year, the first acceptances were posted on sdn on Oct. 28, but this year Downstate started interviewing a few weeks earlier than last year, so I'm hoping that acceptances will be announced a bit sooner!

 

[BigRedPremed]

I need some luck. damn, this process is depressing. UCSD hold yesterday, G-town rejection today.

 

[narretgrez]

i feel you bigred, on hold at ucsd too since yesterday

i'm wondering what's going on with USC. it seems like they sent out some invites one day the end of August but then didn't send any more. does anyone from USC have any insight?

congrats, by the way!

 

[hamstercheeks]

wahhh🙁, no interviews yet and I've been complete at most schools for about a month now. I need a lot of !!

 

[87138]

I'm "under review" at a billion schools (roughly) still . . . I've been complete for quite a while. Here's hoping this thread brings me some good luck.

Maybe USC makes decisions only at ends of each month, like how some schools only make acceptance decisions at the ends of each month.

yeah that could be - i know the rochester adcomm only meets once a month, and i think at the end of each month. i guess we'll find out soon about USC - the end of september is near!
