Members don't see this ad.

Have they stopped giving out interviews?

probably or very close to the end (I read somewhere march 10th was last int date).

There's only two interview dates left at UMich. One is the on 2/24 and another is mid-March. I'm really not sure if these spots have all been filled or not.

I figure 2/24 is filled as it is less then 2 weeks away and normally they are good about giving you enough notice to plan a flight etc if you need to.

I thought they had interview dates 3/3 and 3/10 from what i read.

where are you reading this? is it wrong to be hoping for an invite at this point?

I'm not sure if this would matter, but we (undergrads at least) have "spring" break from feb 25th to march 5th, so Friday march 3rd, no students will be in AA. I'm not sure if med students have the same break as we do though.

I see didn't know that. That would make sense then march 3rd wouldn't be an interview day perhaps.


As for the 2/24 interview day I got my invite for it on 1/3/06 and it was the only day that was available to me.

Michigan has offered 95% of their seats! This is according to their admissions homepage which they updated today. USNEWS claims they interviewed 429 kids last year. Assuming 5% of the seats are still available, that leaves about 21 open spots remaining. Are there two or just one interview dates remaining. i thought there was one in the beginning of march in addition to the one this friday. There also must be a lot of brillaint applicants on waitlist. Seems like its come down to the wire. Thoughts?

Well good to know there are still seats available!

I really hope I can get in. Starting to get a bit nervous about this coming friday and the interview.

But don't most schools offer ~2 times the number acceptances as seats (in other words when they are done they will have offered 200%)? If so there would be many more available.

I hope so...this is depressing news, especially for us deferees :-(
I feel like by the time they look at my application, there'll only be waitlist spots.

Not what they mean I think.

I think they know that and offer ~350 to 400 seats. so .05*350 or so is how many seats they have left.

Then again they will probably be a bit more conservative this year considering the overenrollment of last year.

I bet there are also quite a few people still on post-interview hold who are competeing for those last few spots. Good luck to you all.

 

[attaboybambeeks]

the dean chat on 2/13 said they had enough spots to accept every kid who interviewed from that point till the end of interview season. I dont know if this is just the politically correct thing to say. According to the #'s, seems like a stretch. Whatever though. Just gotta rise to the challenge & hope it works out.

Actually they still have 2 more interview days first before they go to the post-interview deferal list.

I'd figure about a 20 to 25% acceptance rate for the last interviewers.

Best of luck to everyone (and me)

I think this question was raised in an earlier chat. They are offering ~325-350 acceptances this year due to the over-enrollment from last year. This way, they may be able to get some waitlist movement.

Good everyone!
