Applying MD versus DO just on those factors isnt always accurate. You have to apply based on the mission of the school. Some schools just don't fit your certain mission, so don't apply there. Depends on what you're going for.
I interviewed 10/18. My interview group was told we would receive a phone call 11/09 if we were accepted. I did not receive a call. So I decided to check the portal for the first time since interviewing and my status is "Not Accepted". I'm not sure if that's the same as Rejected or if it means not accepted at this time. If I had to guess, this is worse than your meaningless status. Just wanted to give you some hope! Best of luck!
IS here, interviewed a few weeks ago. From what I heard, they are very receptive to emails expressing your interest in the school (both pre- and post-I). Also, if it's any consolation, they aim to matriculate 75% IS and 25% OOS and schedule the I's accordingly (e.g., for a session of 12 interviewees, 9 would be IS and 3 would be OOS), independent of where the OOS applicants fall on their ranked list of potential interviewees. Plus they interview through March, so don't give up hope just yet!
Mine weren't bad at all! Just be yourself for the traditional interview, my interviewer knew my app very well and just asked me to expand on some aspects of it. Very conversational and friendly. For the behavioral interview don't stress too much, they just want to see how you would act in certain ethical dilemmas. Good luck!
Email is best for an interest letter, phone call if you just want to check the status of your app and ask for info regarding upcoming dates of committee meetings and such. I agree with @NonTradWarrior that you should only send an update letter if you have something substantial to add to your application (significant clinical experiences, recent publications, additional LORs, test scores, etc.), but anyone can send an interest letter! I've always felt that a combination update/interest letter is most effective, especially pre-interview when you may not have much to update them on, but you still want to express your continued interest in the school. It might be just the thing to rescue your application from ad com limbo! Just remember to keep it short (1 page or less) and to the point; anything longer and you risk boring the ad com readers.
I would send them an email. Can't hurt to let them know you're still interested!
Preliminary review ** sorry about that
I had that for like months. Received an II recently. FWIW, I did send an update.
