MSTP II today!! Complete 7/27
8/25When were you complete?
To those with II's, about how long was the wait between being complete and getting the invite?
So around a few days, then. Thanks!I was complete 8/11 and received the II 8/16
So around a few days, then. Thanks!
If I recall, Iowa openly states that they do NOT necessarily review apps in chronological order...so a decision could be made the next day, week, or 3 months down the road.I can't speak for others but they seem to be pretty fast. Good luck!

So a committee letter is not suffice? It says in addition to the letter "you may also submit individual letters not to exceed 4 total letters". It makes it sound optional so I'm a little confused.

not at all! I think it makes you more competitiveI was wondering the same thing. Would it be foolish to say im interviewing at another school?

When were you complete? CongratsII received today, OOS, dates to schedule are in November
My last letter of rec came into CCOM on 8/3, so that's probably the date it went by. Secondary essays were in around 7/24. No Iowa ties for me, WI resident attending MN college, but rural med aspirations.When were you complete? Congrats
They have a room where you can put your bags while you interview and tour the school.Anyone know if we can store our luggage at the interview?

Your friend can log back into the portal to check the date they selected. No email was sent when I selected a date.Does Iowa send a confirmation email when you choose an interview date? My friend said she set one up for November, but I'm a worry-wart and can't shake this feeling that she might have missed something and the interview isn't fully set up.
I waited a little over a week and then I got an II.How long after submitting secondary did you guys have to wait to get interview date?
I’ve interviewed here before. The day starts with everyone gathering into a conference room that you’ll spend most of your day. Then people come in to discuss the school, financial aid, and just have a general discussion about anything you feel brave enough to talk about. Everyone is divided into two groups, then lunch, followed by a tour of the hospital (excluding any wards due to HIPPA). Afterwards, one group does a case-based learning exercise, which is really fun (you don’t need to know anything in particular, just have common sense), while the other group begins their interviews. The whole day goes by quickly in my experience.Can anyone who had an interview here recently be willing to share their experiences? Thank you in advance if you choose to.

IS?II given mid August...LizzyM 68
Yes, I'm IS. Carver is an awesome school, and I would love to attend. I'm accepted DO, and love the school, but the hand waving at Carver gives me the feelsies.

You bet! Both schools would be a great landing spot and I'm excited about the future either way.At Des Moines?

Would you mind pm-ing me your stats? I'm applying to Des Moines late and would like to know my chances
Sure no problem. You should apply ASAP though, as I'm sure you're aware of the rolling admissions.Would you mind pm-ing me your stats? I'm applying to Des Moines late and would like to know my chances
II yesterday (super unexpected!) I'm OOS, reapplicant, and was complete 7/19. LizzyM 68.
MCAT was 514 (though I do have an old MCAT from a while back that was... much lower). And no ties to the state.Congrats! Mind sharing what your mcat was? Any ties to the state, just out of curiosity!
I would later just to be safe and that way you have time to gather everything even though you will most likely be done at 1:30. Up to you.If the interview day ends at 1:30, would it be okay to book a bus to leave at 2:45? Or should I book a later one to be safe?
