11/10/17 Update: All 3 of my interviews so far have featured very friendly administrations and student bodies. Students have seemed very happy at all three schools as well. The one traditional interview I had (at USUHS) went better than any of the MMIs I had (though I still believe I did well on MMIs). I just dont feel like the MMI gives interviewers a chance to get to know applicants. The concern about interviewer bias in traditional interviewers is very real though, and I can say that I was lucky to have interviewers who I vibed with.
11/28/17: First acceptance at SUNY Upstate! Loved the school at interview day.
2/21/18: Accepted to Quinnipiac!
3/7/17: I find it absurd that I havent yet heard back from 12 schools. Crazy process.
Applied, Rejected
Rosalind Franklin University
- Applying for combined PhD/MSTP? No
- Submitted: Yes
- Secondary Completed: No
- Interview Invite: No
- Interview Attended: No
- Waitlisted: No
- Accepted: No
- Rejected: Yes
- Summary of Experience:
Never got a secondary from them. This happened the last time I had applied as well and I had to reach out to get a secondary sent. Got a bit bogged down with the rest of my secondaries and didnt notice I didnt have one from RFUMS until mid August, so will probably end up not inquiring about a secondary.
