Oh, not at all! As long as you haven’t gotten an R you are still under review.

I know it’s hard to say, but do you think your update letter made the difference?

Hey sorry for the late reply. But yes I 100% think it made a difference. I updated them on my recent publication and that I was continuing to volunteer and shadow. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I got an A two days later.

I got my A eight weeks after my interview even though they had two prior opportunities that they had looked over my interview date. So there is definitely hope even if they pass your interview date.

Honestly there’s no way to really prepare for an MMI. Just be yourself and be able to look at a situation from multiple viewpoints when necessary. Good luck!

if interviewed 12/7 and no call/email after today, what do you guys think that means?
 
Does anyone know if UAB does a second look day? Or are the preview days listed on their website the only option to visit campus?
 
OOS II today, no ties. complete early Sep. 🥰 dates available were early and mid February from what I could see.

It looks like the option to sign up for their second look day will happen next month, according to the latest Vital Signs email :) But registration is open for their campus visits

Just posted!
 
I have not been accepted but got an email about visiting campuses? Is this a mistake? Or is everyone else getting this?

I got. I thought it was cruel haha. They haven't sent me anything since my interview and then they decided to send that right after ADCOM met

It makes no sense. I think it must be an error because it includes a “free lunch”, and not confined to the main campus. It seems different than their normal tours.

I am hoping it means we got accepted lol and that they will call us tomorrow. However, I also know that during my interview they talked about how we would be able to make our campus preference in December/January, I think, regardless of whether we got accepted. This seems pretty in line with that similar idea/philosophy.
 
UAB does the campus visits for all prospective students I believe. This would make the most sense because you have to have your campus preference list completed by April or May? People who are accepted later should have the opportunity to also explore campuses so they can curate their list in time after being accepted. I hope this makes sense!

Yeah, I figured this was what it was. It just stings with the email basically coming right after the ADCOM met for today. :/

I understand, friend. It’s frustrating, especially during this time of limbo. I remember wanting to rip every hair out of my head when two ADCOMS went by without me hearing anything. From my understanding they make calls on the Thursday and Friday of the weeks when ADCOM meets, so you could possibly get the call tomorrow! When did you interview? If it’s any consolation I interviewed mid-September and wasn’t accepted until November.

I interviewed in November so it has been about 2 months about. ~3 or so ADCOM meetings after being graded. I could quite possibly get the call especially because it was after 6pm when they tweeted. I think overall my interview went well and that my application is compelling so I am hopeful that I will get accepted. Just wish they sent that email not today :rofl:

How is the layout of interviews? Like is it traditional first followed by MMI then student panel?
Click to expand...

Depends on what group they put you in! Half of the interviewees start with the MMIs, and the other half start with the 1 on 1. I was put in GOLD group and started with the MMI. To start, they have an opening presentation where all interviewees are in one big session. If I remember correctly, they also close with one big student panel. So whatever is in between (MMI and 1-on-1) will depend on what group you are placed in. Hope this helps!
