All my medical school application status marked as "your application is ready" vs. "under review". Is there a difference?

I did! Each interviewer dropped their email in the chat for me.

Thank you both!!!

Late interview day recap: def my fav interview experience. It was so chill and conversational (and they actually mean it!!). You can tell that the school’s community is tightknit.

There’s two groups of interviews in a day and when group A is going B is on break. They don’t tell you what group until you get on the call in the morning, but both interviews are after informational sessions so later during the “day”

My two 1:1s were both open file, both with faculty (although they say they try their best to give you one student and one faculty depending on who is available). They said there’s a list of questions and they seem to share the list bc my second interviewer said she tried not to overlap. But they only asked a few questions and it was mainly just back and forth talking, it really seemed like they wanted to get to know you and were interested in your activities. I only got 1 hard question each that I really had to think about.

Can Anyone tell me if it's common for students with higher LM scores to receive interview invites first then schools later invite those withlower LM scores?
 
I contacted the admissions team, and more dates will become available when the first 2 slots are filled. They told me to wait to select a date if I could not make the two dates listed.
I know you posted this a while ago, but wondering how long you waited to pick a date? I'm looking right now and I can't make the only date they have but their email says to reply within 3 days of receiving.

I'm facing the same issue. I think we can reply indicating we are very interested to interview and are going to wait for other dates to open up.

I waited for a day or two and more dates popped up. That's what admissions advised, but if you aren't seeing any additional dates, it might be worth it to reach out to them directly!

I would say some of my questions were definitely a little out of left field. but overall agree it was very chill despite some hard questions. They really read your file!!!

In my experience, this has been the most relaxed interview yet. They do a great job with organizing the interview day and the med students are very passionate and seem to really enjoy the program. Both my interviewers asked thoughtful questions which displayed their knowledge of my application, and if I had one piece of advice for those who will be interviewing soon it would be to really know your file and try to think critically about areas they may question.

100% not just activities, they even asked me specifically about the languages I listed on my application

And idk how to multiquote, but yea I was asked at least one tough question each (don’t remember how many exactly). I feel like they knew it was tough and gave me the time to think and answer. At least for me, it felt like they just wanted to see how you think on your feet rather than trick you.

Did they ask you to speak the languages you listed?

Nope, it was more of smthn they brought up than asked about, they just wanted to know what context I used them for. I don’t think they’ll mention it for everyone, was just using it as an example of how specific they get in reading your app
 
Hoping for the best for those of us that have interviewed!!

They said we’d hear back the end of each month, so I feel like we have some time. But nonetheless 🫶🤞🏽

I interviewed late September and they said they would send decisions out once a month at the end of the month starting in October

Yeah seems like they’ll start releasing decisions at the end of October, so I wouldn’t be worried! They also have like a 80+% post-II acceptance rate

This was the most relaxed interview experience I have had, both my interviewers were really nice and it felt like a friendly conversation versus a regimented interview. My advice is to know your primary and secondaries super well, my interviewers asked in depth questions about my experiences that displayed their knowledge of my app. Good luck!

Hopefully tomorrow then? Otherwise see you guys in a month
 
In my interview they only mentioned hearing back end of October so would you think they are just a few days behind if we don’t hear today or are they just pushing back a full month to end of November?

I interviewed in Sept and Dean Pak said it would either be end of Oct or end of Nov bc he likes to release them right before/around the holiday.

So, if that is still the case, it would be today or end of Nov…
