anyone know how soon UAB starts interviewing? I'm in state and just mailed them my supplemental back but I don't take my DAT until the end of July
 
From what I've read on previous UAB threads, late July, early August.

Also according to the ADEA Book, if you are instate and get an interview you have a good chance getting accepted. The book states that last year 110 applied?, 65 got interviews and 42 got offers. So basically just don't mess up the interview.
 
I emailed admissions because I haven't received a supplemental yet and they responded with this:

"There have been lots of issues with AADSAS and we are just now pulling applications. It could be weeks or even months before we contact everyone. Please note that we are not on a rolling basis, but are accepting applications through the end of October. We will get back with you as soon as the Committee has a chance to review all the applications currently in the system."

Anyone else receive a response like this?

According to previous threads, we could possibly be getting calls for interviews this week. Has anyone received an official email saying they have received your supplemental app and application fee?
 
When did you get submit/get verified?! That's awesome, 'grats!
I submitted mine on June 19 but due to transcript verification, committee letter, and supplemental application, I finished everything and mailed my check and everything on July 6th.
 
This may be a dumb question but did they mail you your current or permanent address? I ask because I'm not in the area of my current so if they mailed the supplemental there I won't know....

Mine went tommy current address. I had to go back to my college home from my parents to receive the letter.

Congrats to you all who have interviews! Did the status on AADSAS change to waiting additional information prior to you receiving the supplemental application or was it a surprise in the mail?
 
How long did it take for you guys to receive the supplemental application after submitting? I applied June 20th and my committee letter was sent July 11th, but I still haven't received a supplemental. should I be worried?
 
I'm OOS (Arkansas) and received my supplemental on 7/18 and mailed it back this week. My whole AADSAS application was complete 6/29
 
Hi, guys!

Just did the interview today. You meet up at 11, do a tour for like an hour, eat lunch for an hour, and the interview starts around 1. Today we had 5 interviewees, but they say it is normally 8.

They emphasized that UAB is #1 researched funded school in the country and how intensive their curriculum is focused on clinical.

Overall, pretty relaxed interview and the questions were nothing crazy although Dr. Filler asked me if South Koreans can ever go visit North Koreans if they have families.

Ask me if you have some questions!
 
Did you guys receive a confirmation email after they called you for an interview? They told me they would send one out a week ago, but I still have not received one.
 
Interview #2
School: UAB
Notification date: 7/27
Method of notification: phone call
Residency: FL
AADSAS Mail out: 6/1
Application status: Complete 7/9
GPA (science, overall) 3.7 sGPA, ~3.8 overall

Did anyone that interviewed yesterday have their decision status change to "none" today? Mine changed from "invited to interview" to "none". Just wondering if that means anything?

Hey everyone! I had my interview yesterday, and it was a good day! Everyone is so nice there, and they really tried to make us feel comfortable.

Jhan17 was spot on with the schedule, and we had 8 in my group (2nd round of interviews I believe). All of the other applicants were super friendly as well.

The interview was more relaxed I'd say. Of course, the 1st question is tell me about yourself, so after you get past that, you can tell they make an effort to make you feel comfortable and like it is a conversation. I didn't have any off-the-wall questions.

Let me know if you have questions as well!

I had a similar experience! My status changed from 'invited to interview' to 'none' though... Is that a bad sign or just a natural progression of the process?
