*** 2020-2021 Medical Applicants and Their Parents

@raclut congratulations to your D and family. You are pretty much done at this point in terms going to medical school irrespective of where.

@raclut congrats to your D and family on decision that is sprint not a marathon. Which is your state that gives out acceptance so early to IS?

@raclut

Congratulations to your daughter. I wish her much successful in her medical career.

Wow, congratulations and kudos to have the balls to only apply to 3 schools!

So far daughter has been offered 3 interviews. She applied to 16 schools. She has gotten this type of email from several schools:

While our Committee is accustomed to reviewing a very large volume of applications, this year we have seen an unprecedented number of applications that have been completed early in the cycle. It appears that we will be able to interview only about 10% of our applicants this year, so these reviews are quite challenging. As a result, we are behind.

So keeping our fingers crossed that her interviews go well and that maybe she might get a few more :slight_smile:

@“UMD2021&2023”

Maybe you & your daughter can take some solace in this aphorism:

“Interviews three and a doctor you’ll be.”

I suspect people applied to a lot more colleges since there is no cost of travel this year.

MI admission tracker provides that evidence, 10K applications this year.

@WayOutWestMom
Love it! Let’s hope it holds true :slight_smile:

“I suspect people applied to a lot more colleges since there is no cost of travel this year.”

Yes, agree with that, plus I think many applied earlier in the cycle since there was more “free time” with all that was happening.

DS received first acceptance (from an IS school), hoping for more As and interview invitations.

My daughter received an acceptance today!! It is for an OOS university in their MD/MPH program. She is very excited since it is one of the universities she really wants to attend and was so hoping to get into their MD/MPH program :slight_smile: Still waiting to hear back from one more and she has her interview with our in state school in early January.

Almost all of the other schools she applied to state that her application is under review. At this point I would have thought that most of the schools had already invited everyone they wanted to interview. Any thoughts?

Lot of schools are behind given higher volume and Covid, so expect to receive interview invitations from more schools thru January end.

DS received his second acceptance, from a T5 research school! Less pressure going forward :slight_smile:
