Hey guys did anyone else get an "application incomplete" email from Florida today?

Also for any of you who feel anxious/stressed about not getting interview invites, it is still very early in the process. This is my second time applying, but last year I received an invite UIC one week before their interview date. So just because some programs sent out their initial wave of invites it does not mean you are out of luck. Keep your head up!
Hey guys, does anyone know the interview process at UIC? Any insights on how to prepare for their interview?
 
Regarding Tufts, does anyone know if the social event is one day only or is there a social for each interview date? I ask because I would like to attend both, but if the social were on Monday and my interview were on Thursday, I would rather interview on Tuesday instead.
Somewhere I read it's a night before

It's six different rooms, about 15 minutes in each room. One of the rooms is chill, you just kick back with the current residents. In each room you'll be interviewed by about 2-3 interviewers at the same time. Interview had some challenging ethics questions that I got stuck on. Other than that it is more about getting to know you and your personality.

I have a question, last year I saw some people posting canadian ortho programs, but I don't see any in Pass this year.
 
I’m confused, did Washington send multiple emails or did someone just have the date wrong?
 
I know some people were mentioning trying to make both the Houston and LSU interviews. Logistically do you think it would work and you would be able to make all of the events? Or is there anyone that decided to just choose one over the other?

I just picked one unfortunately, seemed like it was going to be a logistical nightmare and I picked the wrong date at Houston to make both work.
 
I just picked one unfortunately, seemed like it was going to be a logistical nightmare and I was locked into the wrong date at Houston to make both work.
I’m sorry! But also still awesome that you get to interview! We take what we can get lol. So I take it you just stuck with the Houston one?
 
What are the statistical chances of matching with 1, 2, 3, etc. interviews?
 
West Vriginia program says we need to report our GRE scores, but I didn't see any number to send it to them, so we just have to report it on Adea pass right?

nvm: it says "GRE scores need only to be submitted to PASS." on the adea pass search engine page
 
What are the statistical chances of matching with 1, 2, 3, etc. interviews?
I did a rough estimate of this based off average number of interviews per spot, the most I've heard is a 50:6 ratio, while the least I've heard is like 25:8 so I took the average and just plugged it into this binomial calculator: Binomial Distribution Probability Calculator. You can try with diff numbers yourself, the very bottom number is the relevant one

1 interview gives you a ~17.5% shot, 4 interviews gives you ~54% shot, and so on just based purely on probability assuming my original numbers are close
 
On the match statistics it says that number of mutual rankings was 1577 and the number of submitted ranks by applicants was 2434. Does this mean it is common for a program to not rank you at all instead of just ranking you low?

Yes, a program can exclude some of the interviewed applicants if they want to, just like how we can exclude programs from our ranks.

In terms of whether it happens often, no one knows since it can go both ways.

Did anyone receive an email from Columbia regarding application review?
I didn't because last email I got from them was 6 days ago saying it is incomplete because they haven't received the gre..well it has been 5 days since they got it but they never made it complete 😒

But your application under review was sent by all other programs right before ghosting 😆

Anyone know if schools give out additional interviews after the first round of interview invites?
 
Normally schools give candidates 1 week to confirm the interviews. If you are on the waiting list you might hear back a week after the official invite
 
Hi everyone,

Is there any group for the schools that have srnt out the interviews? For eg for Boston University is there any group for the invited students in either wapp, telegram or … ?
