No new interviews here...getting worried haha
Do these invites go out in batches, or is it a one-time deal, meaning if we haven't heard from the above-mentioned programs, we probably will not be getting invites later? Thoughts?
Who knows. It's all speculation. I'd be surprised if programs sent out invites on more than one or two day, just because it seems inefficient. That is just a guess though.
Did anyone get an email from VCU today? Got one stating my application was received (even though I submitted on July 15) and to please be patient until all applications are reviewed before emailing them to request the status of your application. I am not sure if this means they have reviewed my application and haven't decided yet or what. I know one poster here had already received an interview from them so I wasn't sure what to make of this. At least it wasn't a rejection.
Anyone else?
How important USMLE scores are to get an interview?
I will start off with mine
1) Citizenship/Visa-> Canadian on J1 Visa
2) Country of medical school-> Poland
3) Board scores step 1, 2 and 3-> Greater then 230
4) University vs community program-> University program
