this cycle
damn i literally just got verified, still no secondary received, and you guys are already getting II's LOL
WanderingDust:
They interview very early, I got mine 7/7 last year. They prioritize high stats/strong mission fit applicant for the first batch of II
Can you please share how the interview was and the phone interview? Any curve ball questions to expect apart from them asking about mcat scores/low grades?

I interviewed with the Dean of Admissions for 1.5 hours. I don't think there is a phone interview; it's a 30-minute Zoom interview with a medical student. There were no curveball questions because the dean said he didn't want to stress me out. They might ask about how your study for the MCAT or what's a class you struggled with, but that's just to know you better. Also, the Dean felt very uhhhh stiff and stone-faced during the entire interview, so I thought he did not like me, but I still got accepted in December. He actually tried to sell the school to me during the second half, so it was a relief to have him do most of the talking, haha. The student interview was so chill and conversational (but watch out, if you let your guard down/show up late without apologizing/swear/or act disrespectfully, it will hurt you really reallllllly badly).

Does getting an II early on (high stat/mission fit) probably mean better chances of acceptance?

There are 2 waves of As. If u interview early, ur more likely to be part of the first wave. I interviewed in February and got in in April.

it’s gonna be a long wait. Prepare for that. DS loves high stat. At the beginning, high stat people will get in (starting december). High stat enough to get into T20s. Then you will get on Alternate list on April 1st, then high stat people will start to get off the AL.

my stats are basically maxed out but my service and clinical hrs are relatively low, but decent alignment with their mission for the hours that i do have
just worried about yield protection given the high stats, any insight?
