<p>MiamiDAP gave us a mathematical doctor formula on another thread. </p>
<p>We need to refer to people as Dr.(-20%) XXXXX until someone starts medical school.</p>
<p>When they start medical school they are Dr. (0%) XXXX and after first year, Dr. (25%) and so on.</p>
<p>So the earliest acceptances come out on Oct 15th?</p>
<p>^ Yup, October 15th is the date. The school that I interviewed at this past week will meet the Friday before, and they said that they might do phone calls on the 15th. Fingers crossed.</p>

<p>texaspg, katwkittens and mrpenguin,</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Piggle,</p>
<p>My son has two MMIs next month (NYU & Rutgers RWJ).</p>
<p>TatinG,</p>
<p>The randomness of the process stood out for me too. So far, my son has 9 interviews, 1 pre-interview hold, 0 rejections and no news from 17 others. From here on, if it’s not Mayo, CCLCM or a top 10 school he will have to think hard before accepting an invite.</p>
<p>I wonder if interview invitations are coming slower this year because of the slower than usual verification process and the delayed start date. </p>
<p>Or maybe it’s just my impatience.</p>
<p>I hated the crickets. Y’all hang in there.</p>

I also have NYU next month - I tried to do schedule all my NY interviews together , but did not work out.
I finished CCLM and Cornell last week and going to Mayo next week.
Cornell interview was very relaxed.</p>
<p>MMI -not sure there is a right or wrong answer for those questions. Challenging questions , but enjoyable as well.</p>
<p>Did your son apply to Duke, Emory ,etc?</p>
<p>@Piggle, I’m making 4 separate trips to NYC. 
There was no other way!</p>
<p>@kal123, is your son taking the train? Bus? Penn station is so convenient to NYU.</p>
<p>Plum- I am doing three. If I get any more from NY I am going to turn it down. my flights cost 250-300 at least each time. My flight got cancelled last week after Cornell interview and I had to( rather my dad ) pay another 300 for a room . </p>
<p>My whole interview expense ( funded by parents ) ~ 10,000 so far.</p>
<p>“My whole interview expense ( funded by parents ) ~ 10,000 so far.”</p>
<p>That’s it. I am telling D to forget about medicine.</p>
<p>Yes, ours is up to about $7,000 so far for application fees, clothes, airfares, Supershuttles, etc. </p>
<p>Texaspg, we are paying for our eventual ‘concierge’ service up front. The doctor’s mother will always get a prompt appointment and special handling. :)</p>
<p>Piggle. lol. You sound a bit like a kid I know. ;)</p>
<p>Crum-I am from Texas !!</p>
<p>My dad wants a lamborghini in return !!</p>
<p>@texaspg, there must be a better way to do this, right? :)</p>
<p>I guess they’ve never heard of Skype for the interviews, which could be followed by visits after acceptances for applicants choosing between two or more schools.</p>
<p>What shocks me is that the bills have reached 7 and 10k and they are no where close to being done yet.</p>
<p>Plum - are they paying for your trips?</p>
<p>@texaspg, each one is a little different but most travel (including local transportation) hotels and meals are covered. The restaurants have been top notch :)</p>

<p>Your dad is letting you off easy. I’m holding out for a new house!</p>
<p>If the man did some research, he would hold out for this…</p>
