It was a rejection. My friend interviewed in September and the e-mail he showed me said that they don't provide individual feedback.
That's interesting, because they gave me an R last year, but then at the end of the cycle, sent out an email to sign up for slots to talk about the application and what can be done to better it for the next cycle. I took this cycle off and will be reapplying next cycle with the feedback they gave me.
Dean Fogerty said to just enjoy the acceptance and that details would come out soon!
Thank you!! I must have been so in shock that I missed that lmao
I don’t think so, it just means they’re still comparing you to the newly interviewed applicants.
Complete date ?

I haven't heard anything.

Updates come in through email and the portal (accept for an acceptance - then they call/email and rejections/WL they email). I wouldn't say they reviewed exactly chronologically (it is hard to tell), but submitting 9/2 means that if they were that is probably to your benefit!
Just received a pre-II R. Good luck to the rest of you
when were you complete?
Early August, can’t remember exact date. I’m OOS, CA ORM haha :’)
also IS or OOS?
When were you complete?
Sorry if I misunderstood your comment. How does submitting 9/2 give a benefit?
If they are going chronologically, someone who submitted through June and July should probably be more worried than someone who submitted in September. Again though, it’s hard to know if they’re going in order and I kind of doubt they are.
Traveling has always been the standard Pre-pandemic, and shall become
Ok, so no much status information on this one. So refreshing our email inbox is the only option
I wouldn't say always. Times change and there are better ways to do things. The medical school application process is already abhorrently expensive, inconvenient, and stressful. Things like travel take up time and add additional costs that students factor into where they want to attend school. I hope that more schools move towards making virtual interviews a permanent feature.Traveling has always been the standard Pre-pandemic, and shall become

Completely agree with you Dr. Toboggin
Perhaps there will be some schools that adopt virtual interviews as an option for international applicants or those living out far. Let’s say someone applying to a Florida School who lives in Alaska or Hawaii. This said, I doubt they will apply it widely post-pandemic since virtual interviews are more impersonal, and can never substitute the value of in-person meetings. Also, having the student come to in-person meetings signals commitment, and reduce interview hoarding from students who are not really that interested in a school and are just holding the slot as a safety backup.
Can I ask, was the feedback that it was solely your interview performance that was the issue or did they re-review your entire application and have some qualm with something there?
Oh no I didn't even get an interview! They send you a sheet so you can try to identify what may have been your weak points, and then they let you know if you're correct. You can then ask questions about what may improve your app. They also encouraged me to email them when I reapply to let them know that I did have this 1:1 with them.
Going by MSAR, they're probably about 3/4 done, but the large majority of remaining interviews will probably go to in-state applicants
Okay that seems a lot more realistic.
Dang I’m so sorry to hear that and thank you for your wishes. Was it Pre-II or post-II? When were you complete and IS or OOS?Just got the 'R'. Good luck everyone!
best of luck to you too!! And congrats on the A from UA Tucson.Also just got the R! Not too sad about it since I received an A from UA Tucson last month which was my top choice, but best of luck to everyone still waiting! UA is an amazing school!
