The yield for IS is about twice as large OOS, I think.</p>

<p>This proves that the majority of the top California applicants who are admitted to the top 3 med schools in Calif. will much more likely choose to stay in their state rather going anywhere else. I even think (guess) maybe most of them want to practice in Calif. in the future, and it may be easier for them to get into a good residency program in Calif. if they stay IS for med school.</p>

<p>Location may matter more than we think it is.</p>

<p>UCLA hasn’t sent even one interview invite yet. Are they the slowest or what?</p>

963

<p>Some of the good Texas students usually decline UCLA interviews because they have been admitted to several places by the time the call comes.</p>

964

<p>Word on SDN is that UCLA will begin sending invites sometime in October. They are not rolling admissions.</p>

965

<p>Some of the non rolling schools don’t start send invites until even later than that too.</p>

Close but no Cigar. The news as of a few days ago was that University of New Mexico was did not even send out secondaries. :smiley: However, they get only 266 in state applications and offer 242 interviews! Not much to review there, I guess.</p>

967

<p>Actually UNM secondaries went out Sept. 19th. </p>

<p>RD interviews start Oct 14.</p>

<p>This morning, my son woke up to the pleasant news of an interview invite from Stanford - his 10th of the cycle and his 1st from a top 10 school. There is no way to expect this invite with any certainity since Stanford interviews only ~270 of their >4300 OOS applicants. His chances at Stanford went up suddenly from 2.8% to ~50%. </p>

<p>texaspg,</p>

<p>Your assessment of his chances from Stanford is spot on. I would have gotten Powerball numbers from you, but I don’t gamble :(</p>

<p>PS:
If anybody else is waiting to hear from Stanford, the first available date for my son was Oct 30th.</p>

<p>Congratulations Kal. Now I am excited for Kal’s son!</p>

<p>^ Thanks very much!</p>

971

<p>Congrats to your S.
It is quite an achievement to receive an II from this school.</p>

972

<p>Congrats, kal. Stanford has such a beautiful campus. Such good news!</p>

973

<p>Wow kal, congrats to your son!</p>

974

<p>Wonderful news, kal123! May this train keep rolling!</p>

975

<p>I am sure there will be many more pleasant news coming to your son kal. Congrats to him!</p>

976

<p>Add my congrats to the pile!</p>

977

<p>mcat2, TatinG, Pinkstuffz, UrbanGardener, learnnginprog and WayOutWestMom,</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, my son is on his way to Charlottesville for his UVA interview tomorrow. Amtrak cancelled the train service because of a derailment between DC and Charlottesville and put him on a bus. I am hoping that he will be there in a couple of hours.</p>

<p>Well, October 15 is upon us. I wish all the applicants on this thread would have a decision or too in their hands. Even though my son will have finished 4 interviews by Oct 15, only OSU and UVA are likely to have a decision for him by then. The other two will convey the decisions a little later.</p>

978

<p>Congrats kal!</p>

979

<p>This is very exciting stuff!! My kid is still hoping for that Stanford interview. Only been 4 years. It could still happen. Right? Never sent a rejection. So…maybe? I told her the UG campus looked like a La Quinta. ;)</p>

<p>Curm, Perhaps the below may have been the reason mudgette received no communication. :cool: </p>

<ol>
<li>Email Servers were down </li>
<li>The snail mail decision got lost in the mail.</li>
<li>Phone Lines down.</li>
<li>Whoever was responsible to communicate the above walked off the job and uploaded it to youtube, but it never went viral for mudgette to see.</li>
</ol>
