Do we know how often they send out IIs/how often they have IIs?

Has anyone called admissions to talk about their application?

I called 2 weeks ago when I had an updated MCAT score! They said they review applications on a weekly basis, but that's about everything they told me.

It is possible to get accepted with a sub 500 score. We all have much more to our applications than that alone.

Based off their website it seems the entering class of 2021 had an average score of 504.01 with a range of 490 to 519.


Also LizzyM is a score based predictor people use to project their odds of acceptance based off GPA and MCAT.

Would like to know this as well. I’m OOS
In my interview cohort today only 1 person was OOS- but they were technically international. So 19/20 were IS. Also to answer your previous question I have a low MCAT but high GPA.

My understanding of their process is that all the students interviewing are considered for the different campuses they ranked after completing the interview day!
Ah that makes sense! Good luck on your interview! :)

II yesterday! IS, 4.0, MCAT low 500s. Complete 7/8.

The interview is 2 days long, prescheduled. I am interviewing for the TCC program at the Cleveland campus. Has anyone received stats on this/heard of this? How many people are generally asked to interview for this?

I received an invitation to complete the supplemental application for this program last week, which I completed Monday. Not sure about interviewing, but I believe they don't invite all interested students to even apply. Do you have strong CLE ties?
 
Hello! For those who have already interviewed, what was the experience like? Traditional one on one? Panel? What are your best tips for this particular interview? Thank you!!

You have 3 1v1 interviews that are 30 mins with a 10min break in between. They are with faculty and DO from the school of your top choice. They know your file so just be prepared on your essay responses.

Congratulations future doctor!! Would you mind giving us insight into what the interview was like?
Thanks!! And sure! Starts with info sessions on financial aid, inclusion, and learning services, an overview of HCOM from the dean, and a Q&A session with current students. 30 min break for lunch then 30 min interviews with 3 admin/faculty members! It was very laid back and they just asked the basic interview questions and asked about some aspects of my file. Hope this helps!

Complete around that time and I haven't heard back either :/ I'm IS too
Well it's definitely comforting that I'm not the only IS applicant around that time who hasn't heard back. Crossing my fingers for something soon!
