Do they give you a reason as to why they denied you? Is it something that you can improve on and perhaps reapply for the next cycle?
@RealTalk911 I have been rejected before many times. All you need is that one yes, and when you get that yes it will all make sense. Continue to persevere and I am confident you will be admitted in a program that is a great match for you!

@RealTalk911 Keep your head up, man. I'm not sure what happened between you and Mr. Stevens, but from the emails, he seemed like a really nice guy. Good luck to you.
I got denied as well! This was just another bump in our journey! Keep preserving, I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors! By any chance, were you part of the nov 16th admissions day ?
I was notified through email. Mr.Stevens emailed me saying the packet was received. I have no yet received an invite to admissions day, however.In the instructions it says: "You'll be notified via e-mail when the Consolidated Packet is received."
Was anybody notified through email? I was checking my application regularly and happened to see that the "submit" button was available, but I didn't receive an email notifying me to submit it. Has anyone from Cycle 2 received an invite to admission day?
Mine invite was via emailWoo! Congratulations! I'm very happy for you! Did you receive your invite via email or phone? I've been seeing both on previous threads.
Congratulations to those that got an invite! Does not having an invite yet indicate that we will not be receiving invitations?
Thank you for the hope. <3 I really do appreciate it.They only began sending out invites today, so I would wait. I have seen in previous threads that it takes several days for them to complete all invitations.
Did you receive the invite today?
The interview will be more of a conversation if anything. You will most likely have MEDPREP faculty/staff (current or retired). If they ask questions they will most likely ask about your first time applying to medical school (if you did try to apply) or in general why you need this post-baccalaureate program. They also will try to get out of you how much dedication you have for receiving this "second chance" at becoming a great applicant for health professional school.What kind of questions do they ask on interview day? I’ve been to medical school interviews but I’m curious as to how their questions will be structured
I also haven't recieved an email yet and I'm beginning to feel uneasy. I kind of want to call and find out if the process is still going so I remain hopeful, or how I can improve my application for the future so I can get some closure... but I also don't want to annoy them in any way because I'm sure they're really busy.If you don’t get an invite, does that pretty much mean you didn’t get into the program? Do they send you a denial email?
Yeah I’m just patiently waiting. I’m from out of state so maybe that’s why it’s taking longer. Not sure.I also haven't recieved an email yet and I'm beginning to feel uneasy.

Once you get an invite, complete it IMMEDIATELY. I lost my slot for February 25th lol and Mr. Stevens called me twice (didn’t pick up the first time) to inform me my date had switched to the 8th of March and to send him my form ASAP
If you find out how to do this, please let me know. I would appreciate it.How the heck do you send private messages in this?!
There is a tiny airport in Marion! But it might be more expensive to fly there compared to Saint Louis. I think there is a shuttle called The Bart that goes inbetween Carbondale and St. Louis but I do not know how often it run or if you need to book it in advance. Otherwise if it is possible to rent a car for one day then that might be an option as well!I got invited! Is flying into Marion, Illinois possible? Or is STL the best bet?
Hi..@ANTIdoc OMG Congrats!! I remember you were in the thread from last year with me, I'm so happy for you!
Also, I'm a first year MEDPREP student, this semester is pretty busy for us but if anyone has any questions about the curriculum, housing, life in Carbondale, etc. feel free to message me.
Do you have any clue if the acceptance letters have gone out yet? The dates given for those interviewees was late Jan, early Feb. havent seen anyone say they have received a letter yet? Thanks!They only began sending out invites today, so I would wait. I have seen in previous threads that it takes several days for them to complete all invitations.
Hi..
just wanted to make sure does ZmedPrep SIU consider other than disadvanted/socioeconomic population? I am asian not really in that category but I applied. Just wanted to know if you had any asians in uour class. - Thanks
This would have been the mid Dec. interview date.The first Admission Day isn't until Feb 22nd for Cycle 2. People won't be seeing any letters of acceptance until late March/ early April I'm guessing.
Hi I’m working on my travel arrangements you mentioned the little plane is that between St Louis and Marion?Just some advice for those who got an invite, I would go on apartment tours while you're here.
The small plane is honestly not bad. It's cheaper ($60 roundtrip vs. $120-140 roundtrip with the shuttle) and less travel time (1 hr vs. 2 hr with the shuttle).
Omg i just realized I definitely have someone who is Asian in my class. I couldn't think off the top of my head, my bad!Hi..

Yes, Cape Air. It will take you to Marion which is 10-15 min away from where we are. There is also a BART shuttle from the airport that takes you directly to your destination. They will make pit stops though.Hi I’m working on my travel arrangements you mentioned the little plane is that between St Louis and Marion?
