FlexMed at Mt Sinai 2025

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
The delay might be caused by the government spending cut.
I don’t think it will come out today. Hopefully tomorrow.

They didn't release the result last Friday because they were not ready and might have more work to do. That means they will at least work on it today. I guess the earliest would be tomorrow.

They said they are still reviewing applications and that interviews will be help in April. They said they can’t give a specific date as to when it will come out.

Hi everyone! (sorry if this is not the right place to post)

I’m a current sophomore at a liberal arts college (baby Ivy, one of seven sisters) and considering applying to the FlexMed program at Icahn School of Medicine. I know it’s competitive and a bit unconventional, so I’d love advice from anyone who’s applied, been accepted, or knows the program well.

Here’s a general overview of my profile combining my highschool and college ecs (by the time of application around Jan):
  • Clinical Experience: ~300 hours volunteering at a hospital, ~80 hours shadowing/medical volunteer at a primary care practice, ~30 hours shadowing an oncologist, and ~30 hours with radiologists (potentially more)
  • Advocacy/Service: ~100 hours with a national cancer advocacy group, plus started a health section in a global faith-based journal (~100 hours), founded health club at school + hosted blood drives and raised $20K through donations
  • Leadership: Founded a mentorship program for first-gen/low-income students (~200 hours), led a student first-year group (~100 hours), and am a core part of an org connected to supporting a medical center in Haiti (~100 hours), founded and led a faith-based organization providing design resources/education for teenagers globally, was head residential advisor at boarding school
  • Research: ~300 hours in a medical school research lab (also cancer research with a professor in the spring)
  • Academics: 1420 SAT, 11 AP exams (majority were self-studied, I helped build our online AP curriculum) (all 9 5s, 2 4s), and I’ve received several academic scholarships, grants, and campus awards. High School GPA: 4.2 / College GPA: 3.92
  • Interests: Strong focus on public health, health communication, faith-based service, and possibly pursuing a humanities minor and study abroad.
  • Background: First-gen/low-income with a real drive to use medicine to address structural inequalities and global health challenges.
I see FlexMed as a way to grow outside the traditional pre-med track but I know the admissions bar is really high...and money isn't easy to come buy...So I’d love to ask:
  • Do you think this is a competitive profile for FlexMed?
  • What kind of "flex" factor do they actually want to see?
  • Any essay/interview tips from past applicants?
  • Would you say it’s worth applying in my case?
Please respond or message me personally! I'd love to connect 🙂))

Yeah, this year the interview came out later on 03/14 instead of early March/late Feb (as usual), so it could be early July this year right?
