Members don't see this ad.

Just FYI - I got an invite on the first day last year. I remember getting it on my way to work at honestly like 4:55 PM. MU-COM seems to like to send things out late!

Did they give you a set of dates to choose from, or did they provide you with a link to schedule your interview based on first come first serve.

There was a link to a calendar that showed you available dates and available cohorts (3 cohorts a day that start at different times).

Emails containing interview invites should start coming anytime withing the next hour.

I'm nervous. It's a similar feeling to the one I had when I was waiting my MCAT score.

 

[DOPlzthx]

I wonder if their work day is over or if we may still hear something today...

 

[DeFused]

So no ones heard anything yet?

 

[WhiteCoatSyndrome]

Bueller....Bueller....Bueller..

That's how I feel while waiting for my II in this forum

 

[Samuel3]

I doubt they're still in office but if they are, we are waiting

 

[WhiteCoatSyndrome]

Yeah, I imagine something came up. We'll probably get an explanation soon on here or via email.

 

[ToKingdomCome]

This is my top choiceee... and I'm so nervous about hearing back. I'd be devastated if I didn't get some love from here.
Stats cGPA3.7 MCAT 25 (9/6/10). IL resident with ties to IN.
Completed App : Aug 15th.

I shouldn't expect to hear back for at least another week or two, should I?

Same stats as you and we completed our apps at similar times. good luck my friend.

 

[DOPlzthx]

I've been going back and forth - sdn/email/sdn - all day haha my phone is pretty much dead

 

[m1021]

Got an email. On hold :/

 

[Wipeout416]

On hold

 

[frobishermedita]

when was the email sent?

 

[WhiteCoatSyndrome]

I still have nothing. I got the file complete email on the 4th

 

[SmartiePants]

I also received an "On Hold" email today. 🙁

 

[DeFused]

I got nothing either. I THINK i was complete on the 4th. I got the complete email on the 4th and then on the 8th I got an email saying that my LORs were added to my application which I thought was weird because they were in on the 4th.

Edit: What time did the email come out?

 

[m1021]

I still have nothing. I got the file complete email on the 4th

That's probably a good thing then! They must have sent the hold listserv before the interviews. I got the email about 20 minutes ago.

 

[MU COM]

Screening is complete.

Interview decisions have started--and will continue throughout the weekend.

MU-COM Admissions

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

Got nothing and was verified complete before the 4th.

So basically we may get invited after today despite being done earlier than the 4th?

Thanks for the update! 🙂 Have y'all sent anyone an interview invite yet? 😕

 

[DOPlzthx]

I got my complete email 8/1, but no email today

 

[Elevencents]

You guys are brutal, lol. Surprised you're not holding MU for ransom if you don't hear today.

LOL

Interview decisions are being reviewed now. Please be patient as decisions are entered and sent out.

Haha.

I wasn't expecting to hear anything today anyways because I just barely missed the completion date.

For those who were complete a few days after the fourth can we expect to hear next week sometime?

 

[Wipeout416]

Shadowed a do this month, got an LOR, hope it pushes me over the on hold edge!

 

[CanePreMed]

Just checked the portal and the interview tab is there!!! Very happy to get this interview!!!!

 

[medickdb]

Looks like I got an interview as well. 🙂

 

[DOPlzthx]

Me too!! Woot woot

 

[Back 5]

I don't think I made the first cut as I was not complete until 8/13. Hopefully I will garner an interview next week! Congrats to all of you recipients this weekend!

 

[speakermouse]

Same here! No email, just checked the portal.

 

[MU COM]

Please wait to schedule your interview until you receive an email inviting you to do so. We are still making some edits!

Interview decisions are official when you receive an email from MU-COM, not before.

MU-COM

 

[MU COM]

So if we did get the interview tab, it still means we were (unofficially) invited to interview, right?

If you wait, please, the portal instructions will be updated with this year's info so you will understand the blue and gold groups.

 

[MU COM]

So if we did get the interview tab, it still means we were (unofficially) invited to interview, right?

But, yes, you are unofficially invited.

 

[binderring]

I don't see an invite tab on mine... might be a rejection 🙁

 

[touchpause13]

Congrats to everyone invited. Hopefully back5 and I will get iis sometime next week! 🙂

 

[medickdb]

Got an official e-mail now. 🙂

 

[DOPlzthx]

Anyone schedule theirs for Sept. 14?

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

Ii 🙂

 

[okokok]

Wow, I'm glad I don't work for a med school's admissions office. Pre-meds be foaming at the mouth on here.

Happy to say though I just received an II at 8 pm, complete on 8/1. Good luck all 🙂

 

[ChineseKid]

ii!
What's the ratio to interview:acceptance for MUCOM?

I believe the color code is just for different times.

 

[MU COM]

Does it matter whether you pick blue or gold?

There is no difference. It is just an organizational tool we use to group interviewees together.

I believe the color code is just for different times.

For the entering fall 2013 class, 44% of interviewees were offered admission.

[Postictal Raiden]

scheduled for 10/26!

 

[Back 5]

scheduled for 10/26!

Congrats dude! I think you officially have more interviews than I do 😛

 

[DeFused]

Haven't gotten anything yet. I'm hoping they're still sending them out.

 

[binderring]

Got an email, I'm on hold, post secondary. At least it's not a rejection. Has anyone been accepted at MU-COM with holds on post-secondary?

 

[Postictal Raiden]

Congrats dude! I think you officially have more interviews than I do 😛

Thank you mate! Have you been invited yet?
