Has anyone heard about interviews?

No and last year it looked like it went out around this week? I am hoping to hear something next week.

Has anyone heard about interviews?

shhhhh don't jinx it! Looks like the first II came out around 5:30pm EST on Thursday, July 19th (according to last year's thread).... so maybe today?

 

[Lardy Boy]

Chirp chirp

Nooope.

 

[rplanishek]

All quiet on the DO front?

 

[DOsoon_2Be]

All quiet on the DO front?

So far, yeah. What a bummer

 

[Nugester]

So far, yeah. What a bummer

Something will come soon I'm sure. Wish I had some secondaries to work on though....

Welcome to the party!

So for the experience section, are we coming up with a whole new description for the clinical stuff we put on our primary? I know I'm being lazy just wanting to copy and paste lol but wouldn't it be redundant anyway?
Also, generally speaking, would it be acceptable to add an experience you didn't add in your primary if you can talk about it?

 

[achooachooachoo]

Might be a dumb question, but for the clinical experiences in the supplemental , did you guys put all of them again, or just the new ones since you last applied? wording is throwing me off

 

[dolphin00]

ok so I just received the secondary, and I am worried about this part of the evalutions-

"Physician (D.O. or M.D.) whom you have shadowed for 20+ hours (prefer Primary Care)"

I did not shadow the D.O. who wrote my letter for 20+ hours... what should I do?

 

[woodecker]

Just got the big fat R. Best of luck everyone!

 

[Nugester]

Ah sorry to hear about that! Hope the rest of the cycle treats you better. Also, were you rejected pre- or post-secondary?

Think you will be fine. I did 16 hrs for that.

Thanks! It was post secondary one of the first ones I received.

Same..

 

[chaitea222]

Same..

So sorry! I hope another school works out for you. If you don’t mind, what is your gpa and MCAT? If you don’t feel comfortable answering that’s fine too. Thanks!

 

[futurefemdoc]

Did you all hear by email?

 

[Cornfed101]

I haven't received an R yet, but I am expecting one. I just put N/A for the community health secondary because I haven't ever volunteered or worked in one

 

[FJC600]

R. Best of luck to everyone!

 

[FJC600]

Did you all hear by email?

Yes I received an email at 2:13 PM EST

 

[rajp98]

MCAT for the people that got R?

 

[medandmotors]

For the people who get the dreaded R, do you mind sharing if you had extensive volunteering/working with "underserved or free health clinics or the like?" I don't have much to talk about at the moment in this category and it seems that ATSU-SOMA is putting quite a bit of emphasis on these areas coming from their secondary..

 

[BacksideAttack123]

Also for people who got an R, when did you submit secondaries?

 

[BBQisgood4u]

Oh jeez they're sending out post secondary R's already? At least they're getting it over with instead of dragging it out ...

Looks like we're on the chopping block y'all.

 

[Luckifrog]

Oof, seeing others already getting rejections is so nervewracking!

 

[Nugester]

Oof, seeing others already getting rejections is so nervewracking!

No news is good news atm!

 

[Boji]

Just got an email saying that my application has been put on hold and that my "application may be reviewed again at a later date for future consideration". Boo.

+1

This isn't a rejection though, we're just on hold, right? Isn't that better that a flat out rejection? ^^;

 

[Boji]

Anyone know how likely it is to come off the application hold list?

 

[rplanishek]

That's so strange.... there were no mentions of pre-II holds before sending out IIs last year.

Yeah I think that this is new?

If you don’t mind me asking, when did you submit your secondary? Thanks!

Yeah I have never heard of that either...maybe it's because they are increasing their class size for class of 2024? I'm not sure. They're going from 100 to 160 students though so that'd be my guess

That may be why. It just seems so odd that all I've seen so far this week (yes, I know it is only Tuesday) are holds and rejections. This is the only time I've been happy about not hearing anything. Hopefully some good news is coming!

 

[ElleRay]

I was also put on the hold list this afternoon. Keeping my hopes up

Did you receive an email notification?

 

[ElleRay]

Did you receive an email notification?

Yes, I got an email not even an hour ago. Around 3:45 pm. I’m also an OOS student.. I wonder if they have sent any interview invites

 

[Nugester]

Oof. Now I'm bracing for the pre-II hold e-mail.

I'm OOS, as well. Haven't heard anything yet and I know they've sent out holds and some rejections already. Still hoping for some good news soon!

 

[ElleRay]

Oof. Now I'm bracing for the pre-II hold e-mail.

Are you OOS also?

 

[Nugester]

Are you OOS also?

Yep!

 

[Boji]

Yep!

I'm in state and got put on hold.

 

[Nugester]

I'm in state and got put on hold.

Like others have said, cycle still early *crosses fingers*.

 

[BBQisgood4u]

Yeah it's still super early and I feel that they will go through the ones on hold at a later date especially since they're increasing the class size.

[Nugester]

II just now!!
