hey drumming, if other people grill you about this being a repost and that you should always always do a search before posting ANYTHING or forever hold your peace, just ignore them.Originally posted by drumming207
What if you're a regular applicant and not an early decision--- when do we start getting notifications of interviews? I know this is based on when the app is submitted and individual school deadlines for the app, but could someone give me a time frame when most regular applicants start hearing something? thanks
When was your AMCAS app processed/verified? Are all your secondaries and LOR's in? You can't get an interview invite until your file is complete. Then each school will differ in how long it takes them to review your app and issue an invitation to interview. So it's hard to answer your question without knowing the answer to these questions and which schools you applied to. But assuming you did everything really early, and your application is a strong one, then you should start getting invites fairly soon. It's early in the process. SDNers tend to be real go-getters, so don't let the number of interviews posted here already discourage you. Best of luck with your apps!! Originally posted by SMW
Welcome to SDN, drumming207!
yes, but the Fat Lady shall sing soon.....
oh noooooooooooo
Your'e definitely right on this, DW. There definitely is an advantage to early apps, but it's not all-important (given that you don't come down to the wire and wait until deadlines to apply. Then you'll definitely be interviewing -- if you get one -- for a place on the waitlist). If your application is strong, then there's a possibility of being invited soon after your file is complete, especially from the schools that don't get the huge numbers of apps. Schools with huge numbers, like BU and GW, tend to be very slow.Originally posted by DW
i think the time slows down between secondary to interview the farther you get into the process, but i might be wrong. say for example, some of us got GW interviews within a couple days of getting our file completion notices. i think the turnaround from receipt of all materials to the actual evaluation of your app slows down considerably as the adcoms start getting all the august on filers of amcas, and the august mcaters start submitting. i'm speculating. but you're stilll fine if you apply now, dont mind us crazies
hey it's not your loss, and it's certainly not mine. i happened to come across this page while searching for medical school interview feedback. not knowing the "ten commendaments" of SND, I did the unthinkable. yes, i posted a new thread w/o searching. *gasp*
The moral high ground here is amusing. ok, so we hopped on you because what, you made redundant threads, a little out of line of my part but its been frustrating a lot of people recently. So, this warrants vulagarity and homophobic slander? not cool in the slightest. i didn't start jabbing at YOU specifically until you started throwing some unnecessary insults at street philosopher and myself.
well i just got caught in the heat of the moment i guess. aiite then. no more vulgarity and homophobic slander from this point on
