If it is okay, could you please share you stats?

Congratulations those of you who got interviews!!!!!
Congrats y'all! Now I'm going to be in my usual neurotic mode until I find out about my own decision (regardless of the outcome)
I don't want to post my stats just because I always feel like it comes off as bragging and this program is so unique that one person could be really different from another and both of them could get in, but I do want to say that I didn't get a LOR from HS-all three were from college, and I know some of y'all had concerns about that so hopefully I can put your minds at ease a little! But best of luck to those still waiting to hear!
Do you go to a state school? Top 20? Or Ivy?

Ya ivy
Im at an ivy too
HYP or the other ivies?
If it helps calm people's nerves I do not go to an ivy, top 25 private school though (just on the other side of the country--and not Stanford).
USC or UCLA
Got an interview yesterday as well - not ivies. Hope everyone is hanging in there. Next round of interviews should be coming out soon!
Also got an interview invite. Bio major but lots of humanities interests. 3.6. Ivy.
You had a 3.6 gpa?
Also when you listed your field, did you put biomedical sciences or humanities/social sciences?
At this point if I'm a humanities major at an Ivy and haven't gotten an interview invite, would you say the chances of receiving one have shrunk to near zero?
Judging from last year's thread, they were still giving invites out in mid March, and deviated from sending out invitations by majors in the later weeks.

That's what I said, isn't it? I put bio.

Does anyone know how many interview invites they usually send out?
@jmtfcs Which of the three categories does your major fit into? I think in previous years they release interview letters in batches.
was
Not sure, but I'm not feeling too hopeful. I go to a rather large public state university in the Midwest, so my chances are slim.
Just got my notification, next round of interviews must be out. Don't lose hope! I was in the humanities bucket.
For past FledMed people that may be following this, does anyone have any advice for all of us that got/are getting/will get interviews?

I am applying this cycle btw, not a past applicant. And am a math major.
What was the interview like? I have mine next week and I could use any input you have.
Which date are you interviewing on?
March 9th. hbu?
Does anyone know if they send out all interviews for a specific major at once? Or are the interviews mixed between each category of majors?
I dont think it has anything to do with majors
So people who applied as the same major could get interview emails in different rounds?
I believe they give out interviews until mid-March, so don't lose hope yet!

Yeah. I dont see what the major has to do with the way they send out II's
When's the interview?
Personally if I could get into Mt. Sinai, I would be fine with the binding admissions and not having to sit for a 7 hour exam, but if you don't like the school that much then don't apply.
It isn't about the school
Thing is if I could get into my state I might select it since it is cheaper
Anyways not going to apply so this doesn't even matter.
^ that above is probably why that provision exists,to prevent people from bouncing.
4/13
You choose your own interview date though, so it's not like my interview date is indicative of anything.

So if you dont make it through the first round , do they email you ?
@ttammir. If you are willing to share, you mentioned your numerical qualifications, but I am curious as to what your non-numerical qualifications are, perhaps a short blurb just to get an idea of the caliber of student that ISMMS is recruiting this year for interviews.
Hmm I did 200 hours volunteering (at Mt Sinai Hospital ironically), as well as biology related research. I also created two programs at a high school and elementary school which I won't go into for obvious reasons. Other than that, good grades in high school + math team + debate team + volunteer hours during high school, etc.
Yes I believe in previous years they emailed you around April to let you know
