I was complete yesterday (514 MCAT & 3.3 GPA) and got my secondary today. From what I saw last year, they send secondaries to high MCAT applicants first (508+) and the rest come later. Scroll through last year's thread and watch the dates/MCAT combos.

Not necessarily, I got the secondary the day after submitting my primary. 506 3.66 cGPA. Many others have received secondaries with similar stats. The person you quoted should contact admissions.

Anyone who submitted there LOR's through AACOMAS how long did it take before AZCOM received them? All of my letters were submitted to accomas over a week ago, but the MWU portal still says LOR Expected.

 

[DrBatmanOBGYN]

On hold... and they don't even have music for me to listen to.

 

[Nickerbocker]

Previous year's threads have estimated between 70-75% of interviewees are ultimately offered acceptances.

That is greatttt to hear, I sure hope it's true!!

 

[Nickerbocker]

For those that interviewed, how is the interview day structured?

It was cool. They had a couple presenters. Then the interviewees were split into 2 groups. One group interviewed while the other took a campus tour. Then it flipped. Definitely a long wait if your name is at the end of the group. Afterwards, everyone got to see an OMM session and the sims labs. This was followed by lunch at the end of the day

Also, we finished around 1 and we were free to go after lunch! The lunch was just cafeteria food...nothing too exciting.

omg I just looked at the forecast for next week.

Our interview group got lucky--it was actually not too bad for us today. They kept telling us that it is monsoon season for them so the weather today was actually nice and mild. But of course they did keep saying that it normally isn't like that and it's usually pretty hot.

I know you probably can't discuss the specifics, but how was the vibe of the interview? I know a couple of people who interviewed last year, and said it was intense/one of the more challenging interviews of the season. Definitely nervous for this one!

I'm curious as well, I'll be there next friday... did they really grill you on anything?

I didn't get grilled on anything. I did get one question on a current emerging medical issue but nothing to in depth. Though, some in my group said they did have interviewers challenge them. Must depend on the interviewer.

I agree. My panel was not heavy on ethics questions or anything challenging but I know for a fact, from other interviewees that some panels were

I'm a 9/1! Super excited about the interview...not so excited about my workload leading up to my flight on Wednesday, haha.

 

[Aubrey Graham]

Supposedly the acceptance rate once you've gotten an interview is around 75%. From my interview group, a decent chunk were given acceptances.

Lol read that as decent drunk

Some hotels will let you leave your baggage there and allow to you to return to pick it up. Ask the hotel you are staying at.

When I interviewed, I saw a few candidates brought their luggage. The admissions staff said something along the lines of you can leave it in the waiting room, but it's at your own peril. I didn't notice anyone messing with other people's stuff, so you're good.

probably not the best plan

 

[mediator1]

Feel free to bring it with you.. The school campus is freaking safe. You're not gonna lose anything.

There were plenty of people with luggage when I interviewed there, the admissions staff didn't seem to care at all.

 

[putmynameinbold]

II, scheduled for 10/21! Complete 08/09/16, I'm ecstatic!

 

[sdhere1234]

Damn I understand career changers but a 65 year old? I feel like that's really pushing it.

 

[ParallelLines]

Who is at Drury Inn & Suites and wants to grab dinner at the buffet? Don't be shy now

 

[Atom612]

Uhh...I can access the accepted student checklist, does that mean I'm in?! I haven't gotten an email or a phone call yet.

What has to show up on the portal to know whether you're accepted or not? I thought they said it would be awhile before notifying people.

"Accepted Student Checklist" with options to fill out forms and submit the matriculation deposit. So if we get this, does that mean we are officially accepted? I also thought it would be a few weeks before decisions were made
