Does anyone know when the zoom link and other info comes for Thursday interviews?

 

[deleted1130038]

Can anyone tell from past years if they wait to reject everyone in like Feb? It seemed like they give out holds and interviews, but no straight rejections until the end

They say in the "forwarded for review" email that they'll let you know at the same time they would have sent out IIs and holds. The reason you're not seeing more posts about rejection is because its uncomfortable to do so.

Just to provide some "data", I am interviewing Thursday and have not received the Zoom link yet either!

I know that we have 2 minutes to read the vignette in the interviews, but does anyone know if that time is taken out of our 8 minutes at a station? Aka do we have 6 or 8 minutes to discuss at each station?

Pretty sure the time is not included in the 8 minutes. My guess is 2 minutes to read then we get another 8 minutes at the station to actually discuss. Anyone have any tips for preparing?

 

[SkiStallion]

submitted 7/19 and silence.

Hi! You get 2 minutes to read the prompt and take notes. Then you’ll have 8 minutes to discuss with the interviewer. For MMIs, I’ve found
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI): Winning Strategies from Admissions Faculty by Samir P Desai to be helpful. Good luck!

 

[JF5]

Oh boy… I’m interviewing here in a couple of hours!! Any last minute advice??

 

[JF5]

box breathing for 5-10 minutes before interview! you got this

Thank you!!!

How was the interview? Was each station just a problem/ethical situation, or did they throw traditional questions in there as well?

 

[Mike Hokstinks]

Is anyone else going insane post-interview? Honestly much worse than the post-MCAT wait.

I got smacked around at several stations, so I’ve honestly already accepted the R/WL at this point 😅

I was nervous immediately after. Then I found out my car was towed, completely wrecked my day and made me even more anxious

submitted 7/21 and got the hold 10/4

in-state, UCSD Alumni, research-heavy, thousands of hours clinical exp. 3.84 514.

big sad

 

[SkiStallion]

anyone know if the hold is basically an R? Havent heard many people getting off the waitlist for an II..

 

[kaori_ono]

Seeing how many holds they gave out it really just seems to be a soft R

 

[Leeroy_Jenkins]

I don't understand why schools put so many applicants on hold instead of just rejecting them. I already have six holds!

 

[YoungMoneyMint]

IS II! LM 77. Complete 07/12

 

[deleted1017183]

OOS II just now. Thank you for the love San Diego!

edit: complete 7/10

 

[drandsinger]

realistically, do people actually get interviews after being put on hold? or is it really just a soft R

 

[YoungMoneyMint]

They will never know how big of a San Diego simp I am...
Edit: Screw the dodgers

Screw the dodgers

 

[Vistian]

[poweredbyboba]

Has anyone that applied PRIME-HEq heard back yet in regards to II?

 

[LeeSin]

If I have no hold and people are on hold after my complete date is it safe to assume i will get the R soon?

 

[ElTacoGrande]

One adcom guy said about that you can’t tell because you give an app to one prof/doc and he returns it in a couple days and another takes a month…

 

[DancingHusky]

Nope. No II, No hold, No nothing.

Has anyone that applied PRIME-HEq heard back yet in regards to II?

Forgot to add this important detail. My application was PRIME-HEq

 

[DancingHusky]

Forgot to add this important detail. My application was PRIME-HEq

Did they have specific dates for Prime?

 

[deleted1017183]

Did they have specific dates for Prime?

They did not. Past the title of the email the information only refers to my regular application. I also was only able to select one date on their portal.

+1 Pre-Secondary Soft R

This stings “While it is possible that some applicants receiving this email may be invited to submit secondary application materials at a later date, we do not anticipate that this will be a common occurrence.”

 

[tinkertots23]

Has anyone who got waitlisted last cycle heard anything back this cycle as of yet?
