They're doing something pretty neat this year where they have the m1s spend a couple hours in the ED helping with patient histories and intakes. I was hanging out with a bunch of them while I was doing my peds ED shift today.
They're getting real clinical experience like a week into med school! It's cute to see then really excited to wear their brand new white coats in the hospital too idk if they have to give them back later bc white coat ceremony hasn't happened yet?
All those damn M1s were making ebling SO loud while I was grinding away that last week before the MCAT.

And the M1's are for sure thinking "Omg all these undergrads keep crowding OUR library! Go back to the memorial library with the rest of your kin"

Yeah the whit coat thing is a little wierd...our white coat ceremony is tomorrow so we've already worn them but have to bring them with us to get them given back to us as part of the ceremony But I'm also really excited to get to go to the ED, very cool. I do mine next week Friday so if you're still there and see an excited/scared/very confused-looking M1 please say hi!
Just opened my inbox to find an interview invite (for October 1) from Madison! Apparently they're running early this year
(Non-traditional, out of state)

I got an email from Wisconsin stating that they received my AMCAS, and they screen their applicants before continuing the application process. I got this email on August 17th, and still haven't gotten a response. Anyone know what's going on here? I haven't got my MCAT scores yet (I am getting them next week), but would this prevent me from being screened up until now?
Thanks.
Interview Invite. Woot! Interview Oct. 8th. (3.66/34/IS/UW undergrad)
So it begins!
What date were you complete?
EDIT: never mind, looked at mdapps
I was complete Jul 21st and haven't heard a peep from them. I guess no news is still good news at this point.
on those interviews!
Is anyone familiar with the interview format? I just received an interview invite (OoS) and it mentioned something about a group discussion with med students. Not sure what to expect :/
Congrats on the invite! When were you complete if you don't mind me asking? I had a dream last night I got an interview invite for here, then woke up . Hoping to get an actual invite though, this school sounds amazing!
if its the same as last year then it should be a faculty interview and then a 3 interviewee - 2 student interview which is pretty chill.Is anyone familiar with the interview format?

UW is changing up the interview stuff a bit this year as far as I know, so things might be a little different, in terms of the importance of the interview. Format should be similar.

Could you explain what you mean by the importance of the interview changing - isn't is always really important/the deciding factor?
Due to flight scheduling reasons, I probably won't be able to make it to the social. Would this be a huge problem/is the social very fun or informative? I'm planning to stay with a student host so I"m hoping I'd get all the info anyway.
Guess I'm the first one. Got my rejection letter in the mail today. Complete 7/7, OOS, 3.6/35. I'm really bummed, this was one of my top choices. Other rejections didn't make me sad but this one did.
I'm still patiently waiting for an update. For those of you who heard back, when were you complete? I was complete around July 22nd, I think.
Complete on July 16th. Interview Invite September 10th. OOS
Congrats to everyone with interviews already. Only just got this secondary in the other night and was wondering - how many of you completed the optional essay? I have been completing all the optional essays in my applications, however I'm not so sure this one is completely relevant to me. So short of talking about gaining an appreciation for such challenges... (which is not what they're asking)
must. remain. patient.
It's rough seeing many of my classmates getting interview invites, though.
Received my interview invitation last friday for October 15th. Anyone know what to expect?
Yea, I know that feeling [not getting an interview], its unique and painful in its own special way.
