@lax1997, just for context, NEOMED very rarely takes people out-of-state. If you look in the MSAR you can see the exact statistics, but I remember when I applied to the NEOUCOM program (now called NEOMED) a long time ago, I was immediately rejected. Unless you’re an underrepresented minority in medicine, NEOMED’s BS/MD program really doesn’t recruit from outside Ohio.

@Roentgen I am in-state for NEOMED

@jb9832 I’ll post my stats as soon as someone starts a results thread but I’ll PM them to you in the meantime.

Has any one got interview invites for UTSA FAME or UT-PACT please?

Hi - does anyone know about the alumni Brown PLME interview? My S has received an invite from Brown Alumni who is also a MD. Just wondering what this interview will be like and how to prepare for it. Is it an undergraduate interview or a PLME interview? Thanks so much!

Hey! I applied to the texas ones as well :slight_smile:

My S. has personal interview at Boston BA/MD on Jan27th. Does anyone has interview on Jan27th?

@GoodDoctor It is simply an Alumni interview. PLME does not offer interviews. I was accepted to PLME Early Decision this year. My interview was very laid back; we talked about Brown and just random things. She did not ask me anything about PLME, why I wanted to be a doctor, or anything like that.

@GoodDoctor‌, My D had a Brown alumni interview and she applied to PLME as well. This interview is for general undergraduate admission; PLME does not hold interviews for the program itself. There is a detailed description of how much weight Brown gives to the interviews on their website.

I’m not sure whether the interviewer even knows if the student applied to PLME. Some students choose to disclose that they did during the interview, and others choose not to. Hope this helped!

@gladdd i also have interview at bu on 27th

@lax1997, wow that is very unusual then. You got into even a better med school, so it all worked out for the best. Maybe your ECs were so good (research, etc.) that NEOMED didn’t want to waste an interview spot since you’d have better options. Either way congrats - PLME is a really option.

I just received an email saying RPI started reading/processing all Common App applications. Did anyone get the same email?

@tdkeerthi‌ I got the same email. I don’t really think it means much though!
