6 days, by e-mail. They say allow up to 2 weeks, just depends on when committee meets. The accpetances seem to come on Wed. or Thursday, just depends on if you interviewed on Thursday or Friday.

When is your interview?

 

[SOUNDMAN]

12 days for me, and looks like that's what it's been recently

Interview is December 2. I am surprised I heard from them in a week since my file was complete. I also thought December 2 is an early invite since I just became complete at the end of October. Any thoughts?

That is very good news that they offered you an invite so quickly after being complete. Don't stress the interview, it was very relaxed. Personally, I received a lot of questions regarding my EC's and one bad grade in math 4 years ago, but they do not grill you.

Excellent. I have a question for you guys though. What happened if you shadowed a physician on and off. However, all you really did was meet the patients and see a cardiac cathertization. Will they grill you to the point where you may not be able to answer everything perfectly? <sighs as I realize how stupid that question is>

I don't think that they will ask toom much on your shadowing experiences. I didn't have any direct question on what I did at the office or anything like that. review your basics, such as why medicine/DO and why DMU. They will surely ask you that first. If you can get off to a good start in your interview it will help you relax and get through the rest of the process.

Yea, I figured so. I just looked I became complete on 10/27 and received an interview invite on 11/2. Pretty damn quick considering they said I would have to wait a month.

Mine was complete on 10/27 too! Except my interview isn't until Jan 12th. I'm not complaining though, this is my first interview!! I'm so excited! 😀
