I wanted to post this for those that are applying in the future and are as impatient as I was. Here is my exact timeline with each school and how long they took to respond to me. I'm still amazed at how fast this process was.

App submitted: September 28th
Verified: the morning of September 29th

How long after verification it took to get an II:
Kent - one hour
NYCPM - one hour
Temple - 8 hours
Western - 1 day
CSPM - 6 days
DMU - 1 week
AzPod - 10 days
Barry - 2 weeks
Scholl - same day as I submitted my LOR (like three weeks later)

Admissions decisions after interview:
Scholl - 1 day
DMU - 4 days
AzPod - 4 days
Kent - 9 days

Hope this answers some of your questions.

1. cGPA: 3.29, sGPA:3.18
2. MCAT: 499
3. ECs:
-Radiology cancer research internship ~ 320ish hours
-Shadowing miscellaneous MDs and DOs ~ 100ish hours
-Emergency room scribe ~ 400 hours
-Shadowed a pod for 15 hours

Hey, very nice and useful idea. If you don't mind, could you add your stats too? This way if others join in and provide similar info, we can decipher whether stats are a factor.

Say someone also submitted their app around the time you did, had worse stats than you and received IIs later, then it's possible stats played a factor.

Or maybe someone with worse stats than you submitted earlier and heard back later than you did, then again stats might be a factor.

And I hope we can get more people to add to this. It'll give us an idea of which schools take the longest. I've read on other threads about Kent being quick with their IIs and

Thank you for this! I haven't heard anything from AZPOD yet, but it looks like I need to be more patient. 🙂
I will come back and add mine when I'm further along... I hope others will add theirs too!
