No, don't worry. Remember the DO timeline is later in general than the MD timeline, and getting that first email reassures you that your application was complete.
Yes, of course! I am IS and LM is 64.

I got that one too.
They fill closer days first and add more as those slots fill.
Since you’re around, is it possible to get called for an later interview, despite completing the secondary early on?
They have typically had a long interview season with interviews as late as April
Okay!
mind sharing stats?
501 MCAT, 3.3 GPA, TX Resident, lots of ECs in underserved communities. Complete July 12th. I believe in you!!!! You got this
Yeah, they say it can take up to 4 weeks. It might take longer. There's like dozens of applications.
Yes, they are.
My email said it would take 8 - 12 weeks. They also told me that they are adding interview dates as they are getting through the application.
At least a dozen!
That…I don’t know. I hope so, but all we know is that they do check secondaries. That would mean that not everyone gets one.
I know, it's so nerve-racking!
The dean just mentioned that today at the Virtual Expo I'm at, he's really caring about making sure everyone gets a fair thorough chance. I like that.
Man…I guess I missed an important event. I would love to get into UIWSOM, though I haven’t received a peep yet.
This event is a general DO virtual fair and lots of schools participate. If you're not busy go tune in!
He said it's pretty meticulous and overall they have to seriously consider not only if you can be a good doctor, but if you can also perform as a student.He said he wants to make sure you can handle the curriculum because he hates having to dismiss a student, it breaks his heart, He said he did it one time when he got here last year and there was a student who was enrolled before he was the dean and they were given too many chances to improve, but this student wasn't performing well and he had to dismiss them as the new dean. He said it sucked but that's why he's making a lot of changes to the school, to prevent having to dismiss a student like that again and make sure the curriculum helps the students. He talked about multiple choice and some other things he's already put into effect this year too.
Ya from the orientation presentation on interview day, I really got the impression this dean is genuinely trying his best for his students. He was very refreshingly candid.
I like how honest he is, he's a very transparent and down-to-earth kind of guy. I hope I can meet him when I interview, I'm not done with my classes yet and I'm still debating whether to take a break or not!
They stopped doing the writing portion. There are 2 break stations now instead of 1 😊
Could you share your stats?
3.72c 3.63s 504 MCAT. Best of luck!
They just sent another one??
