"In The Area" Emails

[pertussisprincess20]

Hi Everyone!

Like the tittle says, I'm posting with a question about "in the area" emails. I recently came across this on a forum, and had never heard about them before, so I'm curious. From my understanding, the email is sent to a school basically stating you will be around there on a particular date/set of dates and ask if there's any way to be considered for an interview during that time. Are schools receptive to this? Is there any chance that sending one would hurt my chances of admission? What is the best way to approach this email?

(I am asking because my S.O. is interviewing at GW in November, and I am on a pre-II hold for the school. We both love that program and it would be so amazing if we could both interview there).

Looking for any opinions/advice! Thank you!

ITA Guidelines - Coast to Coast?

For East to West Coast and West to East Coast interviews, are ITAs appropriate even if the schools are a couple hundred miles apart? Suppose someone from Boston gets an II at UCSF. Would it be appropriate to send an ITA to USC even though UCSF and USC are about 300 miles apart? Coast to Coast...

ITAs - which schools are not receptive to receiving them?

I’ve read that some medical schools are not receptive to receiving ITA letters. Is there some list that shows which schools are not and which are receptive to receiving the letters?

Does anyone know what schools in NYC are receptive to in the area emails or updates.

Is sending multiple "in the area" emails to the same school a bad idea?

If I receive an II now and send an ITA email to a nearby school but they don't give me an II in time, would it be inappropriate to send the school another ITA notice later on in the cycle if I receive another II in the same area?

It’s usually for people they would have given an II to anyway. My bet is that GW doesn’t like them because they would assume people only send them when they interview at Georgetown.

I mean plenty of people with holds probably love the program. And while it might be amazing for you to both interview there, I’ve learned that amazing things only happen through hard work and sacrifice. It would be amazing if I could get a full ride at Stanford and buy a Range Rover to drive around Palo Alto but it’s just not going to happen

Thanks so much for the info! Seems like any "positive outcomes" are anecdotal, looks like something I'll be avoiding generally!

Apply to Knight Hennessy and save all of your gap year money for the rover. You got this, Cali.

Good idea...maybe if I’m feeling lucky I’ll put the all gap year money on red so I can get the Rover and a place without roommates

Knight-Hennessy Scholarship Applicants 2019-2020

I am thankful for the opportunity to apply to both Medical School and various scholarship programs for the coming 2019-2020 cycle. As such, I figured I would start a thread for anyone who is potentially applying to Stanford's Knight-Hennessy Scholarship. The first two cohorts had 9 and 6 MD...

I know someone that did! It could be you! Maybe look into a Tesla, though. They’re all the rage there.
