That's so exciting! Congratulations! Are you a Florida resident? What aspect of the school during your interview helped with your decision to choose over other schools?
Looks good.....
Any means any. This would include any medical school in the U.S. (MD or DO), Caribbean, Italy, Poland, China, England, Israel, etc.
IMO, UCF has a very unique atmosphere and “feel” compared to most other medical schools, and especially the other schools I visited. Being that it is a new school, you can’t stand on the proverbial shoulders of giants like you could if you went to a big name place. (i.e. more established program) Instead, your success is dependent upon you and your own work ethic. That is not to say that UCF hasn’t already established a national reputation because the match lists from the most recent couple classes clearly shows that you can go anywhere you want if you put in the work. But if you are wanting to be challenged and wanting to be pushed to become the absolute best physician you can, I think UCF is the place for you. There wasn’t even a close second when it came to feeling the motivational and inspirational atmosphere of the program compared to all the others I interviewed at. The interview day at UCF was by far and away my most memorable experience during the application/interview process and knowing that I get to join the program as a student myself in 2 weeks is extremely humbling and exciting.
AAAAHHH I just realized my essay is like one sentence longer than the page limit.... but since the website didn't cut me off, I didn't pay attention. Is this a fatal error? I feel like crying right now

Ok, thank you! I actually just realized that if you put it in 10 font, Im fine lol. I was having a heart attack. The instructions say 10 or 12 font ..
Exactly. It'll say AORTA until we're interviewed or denied.
It means that we meet the minimum requirements to be interviewed, which includes required course work, an mcat of 500, etc. I wouldn't interpret it as us being in a good spot, it just means we're eligible to continue in the process by meeting minimum requirements.
AORTA itself stands for "Admissions Office Review Team for Applications" and Eligible For Interview means this team has put your application into a pool to be considered on a weekly basis for interview selection.
I agree with the above. In those 2 pages, I would mention your family and your desire to settle down long-term as a practicing physician in Florida. Luckily, UCF's secondary gives you 2 pages to express all of those things!
You are done. Sorry.AAAAHHH I just realized my essay is like one sentence longer than the page limit.... but since the website didn't cut me off, I didn't pay attention. Is this a fatal error? I feel like crying right now
Yeah mine did this morning. Then it came back...
I believe the word count only allows for enough space to list percentages.
Very much so, it is expensive in $ and time and we will honor requests based on committee decisions.
That certainly is an option for this space if it is not already something that you included in your essay at the end of the secondary app.
Should be acceptable. Good luck!
It would depend upon your consistency of med vol, comm svc vol, and teamwork -- these are biggies --- helps up to create a collaborative and supportive classroom of peers.
