stats?

More details in signature, but LM 73 with split stats.

 

[futuraodontologa]

I just got an II, it seems like their interview is just VITA and then attending and info session. Can anyone else that received it confirm this?

I was wondering if the VAVD is going to have an interview portion too!

Did you get dates for VAVD?

 

[gemini97]

For this question: If you were to describe the UA College of Medicine - Phoenix to someone else, what would you share with them?, is this suppose to solely be about the school, or does it connect back to your own experiences and interests?

Stats..?

515/3.8/OOS

Did they ever send out dates for VAVD? I recently got an II but never got a follow up email for dates.

Did you get it on the weekend?

I think that they are going to review the VITA and then send out the VAVD if they accept? I got that same email and have not received the VAVD dates

[deleted1040408]

they updated the admissions tracker.

25 OOS II and 19 IS II

 

[Abrahima7]

Verified 8/5 and still waiting, although about a week ago I finally got a "we got your primary" email but nothing after that. Should I be concerned or wait a few more weeks?

I think it is still really early in the process! Don't lose hope yet.

I didnt even know that they had something like this on their page. That's actually really cool

Based on what I read in the email, I think everyone who they invited to complete VITA is also invited to a VAVD! They just haven't sent out the dates yet

25 OOS II and 19 IS II

MSAR shows that they interviewed 180 IS and 188 OOS last year. Even assuming that 100% of people who got interview invites accepted them (which isn't true), they have only sent out about 10.5% of IS and 13.3% of OOS interview invites. This obviously assumes that they send a similar number of invites this year, which shouldn't vary all that much.

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

I'm saying don't freak out if you haven't gotten an II yet.

for people that are going to the mixer tomorrow, what are yall wearing? i know its casual but i just wanted to see what everyone else was planning. also, has anyone received a link or any more information on how to get onto the mixer and VAVD?

 

[Shine-Dalgarno]

Hi all. In-state re-applicant.
AMCAS Submitted 7/1 and Verified 8/12.

Did not receive secondary, which I found odd as last year it was automatic following the metric requirements.
Emailed them and said they had to verify my primary...

Primary under review email on 8/25 and still have not gotten secondary.

Anyone on similar boat or have any insight on the hold up?

Had that exact same problem. Then I attached all my LOR's to the school and within a week the secondary came.

Good look! But yeah I seen on the website they're requiring at least 1 LOR on file before secondary/review but I already assigned/attached 8 LORs to them on AMCAS before my Primary was verified....so idk

they do a mixer the evening before the interview day where applicants can meet current med students!

Same here except OOS. Same submitted & verified dates and even received the primary under review email the same date. Just waiting now...

hey so I just called them this morning, and I think they've already sent out the email with all the links and times. they were super helpful on the phone, and said they would send me the info in the next couple hours, so I would recommend calling if you haven't head anything yet!

Did they answer the phone right away when you called? It is sending me to voicemail.

i left a voicemail and someone got back to me in less than 10 minutes!

Good look and glad to hear I am not not alone here. I just checked my spam/junk before I replied on here to make sure it was not in there but still no luck! Lets keep each other updated.

Did you also email them personally and hear anything?

 

[let me in pls]

Did they say what time the mixer was tonight? There is no time with the zoom link.

Haven't emailed them yet since I've been busy working on other secondaries. Just figured everything is taking longer this year and trying to be patient. Will maybe reach out by the end of the week if I haven't heard anything

If you look at the attachment with the VAVD agenda it says that the mixer is at 5:30 PM PDT.

I'm in the same situation. OOS, submitted and verified same dates as you.

I also got the same email on 8/25 and still waiting for the secondary. Hopefully we'll hear something from them soon though!

You're the GOAT, @SmellGud

 

[deleted1062667]

You're the GOAT, @SmellGud

Just a little neurotic and wanting to share the information. The school doesn't deserve to get a million emails asking the same questions and applicants should know what's going on.

 

[thunderstorm1824]

Thanks for the info, @SmellGud ! So is VITA the entire interview for this school? I've heard of the additional info session, but as far as an actual interview, it's just VITA with no live Zoom session or anything?

I don't know. I have not yet received an II yet. However, I did talk to admissions months ago and they had indicated that VITA would most likely only be part of their interviews.

Nothing so far, sadly. Maybe they’re sending out secondaries in batches or something? Tuesday marks two weeks since their email, so hoping to receive something by then.
