I talked with a person in the admissions office today. He said they decided to restructure their interview process and add more slots and times, so they will not be ready to send out interview invites until August 25th or 26th at the earliest. So the earliest interviews would be the second or third week in September. So more waiting

Hey guys!

Here is my time line so far from IUSD:

Application mailed: 6/24
Application received: 6/30
Application complete: 7/12

I had a hiccup with my LOR there was an electronic signature on one and it had to be a written signature. My professor got it fixed ASAP and my application was good to go the next day! I currently work at IUSD so if I hear anything ill keep everyone posted!

I have a question they receive 06/30 but why complete on 7/12??? Adea uses a mail to send our application materials or electronically?

They send you an email saying they've received the physical copy (which was his 6/30), then they look at your file and once they acknowledge you've sent everything in, they'll send you an email saying that your application is complete (which was his 7/12). It's not complete until you send in everything that's required (letters of rec etc, can't remember everything off the top of my head).

Yes your correct everything gets sent in electronically however they checked over mine and noticed that one of my professors signed their LOR with an electronic signature and IUSD only accepts written signatures so at that point my application wasn't complete to their standards. I have a total of 4 LOR in so they allowed me to correct the one that didn't meet their standards instead of just looking at the 3 (making my application stronger since the one that was messed up was my research mentor of 2 years).

So it will take a few days for them to make sure everything in your electronic application is up to par with what they are asking for. Another issue could be you have 3 LOR but they aren't all from professors IUSD does not accept LOR form Doctors. Or you could be waiting for your DAT scores.

But after you received the "completed" email that lets you know your application is in a process they call "Pre-screening" you are then just waiting for the golden email that says you received an interview!

Also make sure your supplemental application is completed ASAP if this is not done your application is not even touched.

I work at IUSD Monday-Thursdays and there is a lot going on here with new construction, new students starting, and parking has changed so the interview process may be held back a bit.

Good luck with your application!

Yeah this means that they START interviewing in September but interview until the class is full, whenever that is post-December. It's not just a September thing.

That is similar to what I got. It looks like your application may have a hold on it if that was the email you received.

I stopped in to the admissions office just yesterday and she told me that interview invites might go out at the end of this week if not starting next week. She said they are still reviewing applications.

Likely if you receive an email within the next week or so you will be given a few dates to pick from in September this would be considered the "first batch" emails will then continue to go out offering interviews and batches 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on will continue. The email that I got said "We will be extending interview offers throughout the current admissions cycle which concludes in January, 2017." So if you do not receive an email stating your status or an interview invite by late December/ early January likely all of the spots have been filled at IUSD. But that is not always the case.

The batch numbers mean nothing you could be in the last batch of interviews and still get an offer. I know plenty of people that were in the last batch of interviews that got in. It just really depends on how well you interview at that point.

Good Luck Everyone! :)

Hopefully that will go through ASAP. You should still be in a good position since you are applying early!

Are in an instate or out-of-state student?

I'm out of state. Does this apply to us as well? Or do they interview in state first?

If you have your application in and completed then you have the chance to be offered an interview as early as the first round. :) They do not interview by instate or out-of-state it is fair game at IUSD (from what I've heard that could be different since they are making a few changes). However there are fewer out-of-state interviews offered since IUSD is roughly %70 instate and %30 out-of-state.

IUSD has what they call a "holistic interview process" which means they will look at everything in your application not just your academics. So say you have a really high DAT but a small amount of volunteer and shadowing hours you could be just as competitive as a person with an average DAT and a crazy amount of volunteering and shadowing hours.

They are really looking for students that match up with IUSD's mission statement and have the ability to help the community. So don't be discouraged if your application is not perfect they will take their time to really look over everything and give everyone a fair chance. :)

Good Luck!

Yep! Im excited! I did though call up there yesterday and they're having trouble accessing AADSAS and their information. They didn't say if it will push it back even further or not but let's hope for the best! I'd be surprised though if they start this Friday, I honestly think it'll be next week unfortunately but we will see!

I can't speak for the NY applicants specifically, but all OOS stats were ~3.6GPA ~20AA, so they will be somewhere in that ballpark.

Ohh ok I guess that makes sense with all of the issues they have been running into . When I went into the office they said they wanted them out ASAP. However they said they were making changes and it could hold up the process.

That's the same thing they told me. Last week they had issues accessing AADSAS. They also changed their interview process so hopefully we hear back soon.

I called again this morning and she said the same thing, "The goal is by the end of August, but we're not sure". So who knows.. It'd be really nice to get my first invite from my dream school.

Since I work at the school I'm able to see the exact dates that they set for interviews however they haven't sent out interview invites.

I've been hearing September 1st is when they are planning to send out the invites as well. Fingers are crossed!

Did they email you saying there was a problem with you LOR? If so you have the person who wrote the letter fix it then email it back to them. Your not supposed to see the letter or deliver it in anyway.
 
I'm in the same boat. My one professor is ancient and rarely checks his email and I need the letter resubbed. He also switched schools over the summer so I'm in the process of hunting him down. I just hope I can get in touch with him or else that's money wasted.

They email me to tell the professors to do so. I am so embarrassed to tell my professor doing this stupid things. Why they have this weird requirements.
 
They made me do the same thing earlier this summer, but I didn't know anything about it until I called them. They said one professor didn't have it on official letterhead and it needed to be or else my app wouldn't be complete. I Didn't fully understand that since they signed it and uploaded it but I quickly got it fixed.
