any idea how extensive the screen is? Only for min req?
same here
Nope.
The average grants probably takes into account those granted to Maine students, that have obtained primary care scholarships, and those receiving HPSP scholarships. I had strong stats and received no grants as an incoming first year.
This is largely a result of self-selection. They have a strong preference for Maine students, but beyond that anyone has about equal chances so long as they have a good reason for wanting to be in Maine.
Ugh great.
If your MCAT is 22+, your app will receive fair consideration. Don't stress being on the low side.
its Maine.......hahaha!Submitted. It's funny you have to do the payment by phone
Update: Paid by phone. Said it could take a week to process the payment. This school seems to do things slow and steady.
Yeah, I can tell. They still haven't sent me a secondary.Submitted. It's funny you have to do the payment by phone

I take it to mean "if you've ever been out of school and out of work for an extended period of time, please explain".
I got an email the day after I was verified saying I was under review, and that was right around 2 weeks ago and I haven't heard a peep yet. Keep the fingers crossed, its still very early. A post bacc friend of mine interviewed here last cycle in April and received an outright acceptance so they seem to interview pretty late into the cycle.
Explain any reasonably long periods during which you were neither employed nor in school. If you did nothing during a year, they want to know why. If you're doing one or the other, it's pretty obvious that the reason you aren't in school is you were working or vice versa. If you have any particularly unique reason for, say, going back to work in the middle of a bachelor's degree and finishing it a couple years later, that would be an interesting gap and they'd want to know why. Just use common sense, really. If you were looking at your application, would anything stand out as a gap?
They only interview a handful of people in a given week- there's some schools that interview more students in a day than UNE does in a month. They very, very carefully screen before offering an interview, so if you get an interview, the spot truly is yours to lose. This does result in them interviewing very late in the cycle, so even late apps and people that haven't heard from them in a while stand a pretty good chance.
