Are you reapplying this year because you didn't get verified early enough last year?

Haha no im saying you're fine if you haven't gotten verified yet! I got verified mid september and ended up with 10+ IIs so don't freak out you'll be golden

Well that sounds good to hear! When should I start worrying (I submitted beginning of September)?
 
Not too bad, are there better options?

I rented a car for one day for $50 with budget! If uber is $25 to go one-way downtown then it might be something to consider.

EDIT: grammar, whoops.

Are you 25+?

nope, I used USAA. Membership is free and they have rental car deals that waive the 25+ age fee. They also give discount prices with some rental car companies (Budget, Hertz, Avis, & Enterprise IIRC).

Economy Inn and Suites is the best deal I found plus it's the only one in walking distance from the school, so that saves you money too.

Air bnb does exist here in Joplin, just so you guys know. Also, some students are trying to get some current student housing for interviewers to give a leg up on the school. Nothing official yet, but there is a lot of interest from students.
 
No interviews yet in Joplin either. We haven't even signed up to be ambassadors yet, that is on Friday.

Do you know what the turnaround time on a decision is after the interview?

They seem to really blast through the process, since everything up to this point was "21 days or you're out".

They say up to 6 weeks usually. Around 3-4 weeks is normal.
 
Can someone tell me what the interview format is here? And what info they will have in front of them?

1-1 or 2-1 faculty to student traditional interview. They normally have your secondary answers and are blinded to primary application.

If you say they are blinded to primary application but "secondary answers"....do you mean they have no access to/don't care about your GPA and MCAT scores as part of conversation?

Yes they want to see how you relate to people and answer questions. If you have an interview they already think you can do the academic work of medical school.

They don't have access to your scores to ensure bias doesn't occur during the interview.

Anyone staying at 816 Hotel? The shuttle is tomorrow at 9:30, which will be cutting it too close to the interview. So does anyone want to share an Uber/taxi tomorrow?

I'm at the 816 and I have a car if you want a ride!
 
Does anyone want to share an uber to the airport tomorrow after the interview?
