I finished my application around 7/26? They recieved it on 7/29, but my recs were sent out 6/25. So they got there way before anything else did. Hopkins is good about LORs, just resend it out next day FEDex if you're really worried about time and since someone needs to sign it, they'll def get it.

How did they notify you of the interview?

AHHH, each time i respond to a message, ten more show up.
Anyways i got mine through e-mail, and then you have to call in and schedule an appointment. Appointments start on the 9th of september and go every thursday and friday

I did resend them on the 10th, but I still havent heard back from them yet. 🙁
and my college sends them out so I dont think I could have told them to fedex it or anything 🙁

Oh, recs take a long time to process. They probably have received them, but they're being scanned through. They won't complete your application until everything is read through and looked at. Don't worry. If it really bugs you, call them, the lady is really nice.

ok, thanks 🙂
 
Just wanted to give a word of reassurance to not freak out if you're not called right away. I finished my app in July of my app year but didn't get an interview until Feb. It's really hard not to wig out in this process, but trust me, it's not productive.

Good luck! Hang in there. Maybe I will see some of you. 🙂
 
fantastic. best of luck to you!
 
Congratz man! Now i wish I weren't still sitting on my JHU secondary.
 
I got an email yesterday from JHU saying that they are missing me LORs... My school sent out my LORS last Monday, so they've had over a week to get there... Anyone else get an email like this? I'm wondering if it's something they automatically send out, and maybe my letters are here and just not opened and processed yet?

The LORs are most likely there and just not processed yet. Those e-mails tend to be sent out automatically at certain pre-scheduled dates. If each person gives them an average of 3 letters of LORs, then it should take them longer to go through LORs than just the secondary. Just call them and tell them your situation. The lady there should help you out.

dear casey...

congrats on finishin your amcas... hopkins sends their invite via snail mail so it takes awhile.. my advice is to start the 2ndary now..so that it's ready to submit by the time you receive the invite.. it's a pretty long secondary with lots of little essays. also you can start on it even b4 you submit your amcas..go to the jhu school of medicine site and there's link to the online app..good luck..

wow! thanks LR!! i just recently decided to add several schools at the end of last week. but i guess to question the original thread, have interviews already taken place?

casey :luck:
 
My file was complete in two weeks after submission of secondary. GOt conformation via e-mail. No interview so far.

No, the first date is Sept. 9. I don't know if things are different this year, but the "status check" online never actually changed once you submitted the secondary.

via email or snail??

🙁 why r they taking so long with my app? guess i'm just not good enough
 
It was an e-mail. My secondary application was sent in long time ago (even before their generic invite)
 
The subject of the email says "invitation to interview" ...so you'll know when it gets there. It came about a week after my file complete email.

Yeah, I was about to have a heart attack as I opened it, trying to figure out what school it was.
