Just wondering who has started to get interviews. I got one from Pitts; any others giving out early interviews?

 

[inaminute]

mind if I ask what your gpa and mcat are?

 

[sanchopanza]

My pitts interview me every morning, actually. I only give them one answer, though: "Sure!"

did you put amateur comedian as one of your ECs?

Congrats! Was that pre- or post-secondary? I've already submitted like 19 secondaries, and I'm complete at 3. No interview invites, though. I suspect I will be waiting a while. 🙁 When is your interview?

u of nebraska interview here

 

[killinsound]

i feel so far behind 🙁

 

[stooges287]

Yeah I've gotten a Pitt interview as well! Good luck to you man! And a general question: has anyone verified by AMCAS more than two weeks ago not gotten a Tufts secondary yet? I'm getting worried 🙂

 

[trichomoniasis]

lol classes haven't even started and people are scheduling interviews. I suppose in a few years you'll have to apply to medical school after your first semester of undergrad...

 

[Kraazy]

bump =)

 

[gatrandy]

I actually applied when I was an infant. You guys are way behind. I haven't picked a day for my interview, but basically all of Sept/Oct are offered. Its great, choices!

I have 37 MCAT - prob. helped. I know they didn't have my letters of rec before they sent me an invite. It was basically 8 hours after I submitted the secondary. I guess they based it only on the primary?

 

[SharpieMarker]

I'm curious about what schools have started giving out interviews too. I've got UMich.

Make a list? Copy, paste, and add accordingly.

Schools that have made interview invites:
Pitt
U of Nebraska
UMich

39/4.0

michigan state

2 bachelors and a masters in under 4 years

i'm pretty sure im more than qualified....

screw the automatic interview. i would give you an automatic acceptance. those are crazy stats. 👍

 

[nomoreplz]

yeah, those stats are fantabulous, whether or not you go to mich state. i wouldn't worry about getting an interview later.

I have a UMich invite, and UTMB (texas school). Now I'm motivated to get my Pitt secondary turned in...

 

[gatrandy]

I got a Pitt auto-interview, before they got my letters of rec.

[nomoreplz]

Had you already submitted the secondary or not?

 

[SharpieMarker]

As a note, I think I got what's considered an auto-interview (almost immediately after submitting my secondary), and I have a 37, 3.55. So I don't know how this cut-off idea works, because my GPA is definitely not that impressive, regardless of the school I went to. And I'm out of state too. Maybe this process isn't as simplified as people think...

 

[DrBowtie]

Its like a few hours after turning in your secondary when you get the email interview invite.

 

[SharpieMarker]

I just realized that there already is a thread discussing interview invites.

I'm moving the list over there:

I vote to make an organized list of what schools have started interview invites already.

Copy, paste, add accordingly (alphabetical would be good):

Schools that have made interview invites:
Ohio State
Univ. of Michigan
U of Nebraska
University of Pittsburgh

 

[benzene21]

me too. i just submitted my amcas app. the other day. i guess those of us who waited a bit to take the MCAT are feeling the backlash from that now. haha. Although I did receive two secondaries already and my AMCAS hasn't even been verified...Penn State and GW must send secondaries to everyone.

good luck to everyone!

When were you complete at Pritzker?

anyone know what the cutoffs are for auto invite from upitt?

my stats aren't high at all. so maybe it's more than numbers for the auto-invites.

 

[premeddick]

Did pritzker email the invite or was it a letter or did it appear on the status page?

Thanks

 

[bullishMD]

someone has already gotten an interview invite from ohio state? if so when did you submit your secondary

Email.

I got my invite through e-mail. However, the e-mail saying your file is complete actually says they will notify you by snail mail of their decision (reject, interview, hold onto your app and wait for others to come in.)

In response to the question about when my file was complete, I got an e-mail yesterday notifying me of that. I suppose this early in the application season, they have a ridiculously fast turnaround on interview invite decisions.

 

[shantster]

my stats aren't high at all. so maybe it's more than numbers for the auto-invites.

My theory, based on how long it took to get that secondary (7/11 last year) compared with others I had, is that they do a brief preliminary screen of your entire AMCAS before sending out the secondary to decide on the auto-interview. I have no evidence to back it up that idea though.

 

[inaminute]

Yep, invited 7/17. Sent my secondary about 7/10.

Based on my numbers - I can pretty much guarantee they review all of AMCAS, not just GPA or MCAT. I just got an interview pre-secondary, without letters of rec. I <3 U Pitt.
