@Sam999 My D. called UPitt few weeks back. She was told her rejection over phone. It seems if you did not receive decision in two weeks of UG admission offer, you are not going to the next step.
Cool. Does it say anything about whether they need multiple interviews? I was under the impression both Albany and Drexel do a single interview but might collect fee more than once.
Received GW Interview invite for Feb 1st
@Adit98 was it through email? When did you get it? And when did you submit the supplement by?
@innercircle, @HS2DirectMed and @Adit98 congratulations! GL on the interview. After essay submission got nothing. So maybe that means rejection.
@fifteenpapers it was through email. I got it at 1:52 this afternoon (PST) and submitted the supplement on January 9th.
I think that if we submitted later then we will get the notice later @fifteenpapers
@ultimate314 I submitted on the 9th though 
last year they released acceptances and rejections together so I guess now we just gotta wait…
@HS2DirectMed : Did you get confirmation email regarding the itinerary or you are talking about the email regarding Scholarship weekend?
@fifteenpapers considering that they released the acceptances and rejections at the same time and no received a blunt rejection for GW and the fact that someone else in the chat mentioned that they maybe releasing more info on Monday, I am almost a 100% certain that we should be getting more information on Monday. Plus, they released the decisions for today pretty late, so they may have went home before sending them all out
…but that’s just my take on it
@texaspg I highly appreciate and would like to thank you for starting BSMD thread. Many students and parents are benefiting from this.
Albany:
of interviews: ONE [either Union/AMC, RPI/AMC, or (Union+RPI)/AMC]
of fee payments: AMC charges a separate fee for every supplement ($115 for Union and $115 for RPI)
Drexel:
of interviews: ??? [I applied to Drex/Drex and Villa/Drex. Received and submitted both supplemenst. Not sure whether one interview or two separate interviews]
of fee payments: ONE [regardless of the number of joint programs applied to linking with Drexel University College of Medicine.] Drexel charged $150.
@itsbrown AMC offers two Mondays and two Fridays over a span of two week period to choose from for Union, RPI, or Union+RPI interviews
@sam999 My case might be different…I am invited to both scholarship and med school interviews and was given a schedule starting from Feb 19th 5 PM to Feb 20th 4 PM.
@HS2DirectMed are you flying out to all these interviews?
Has anyone heard from the HPME Northwestern program?
@ChemDude123 No
@HS2DirectMed What was the text of the email you received from Miami regarding the interviews? (The one sent last week) I was invited to “scholarship weekend” with the opportunity to interview with a Miller faculty member but there was no explicit mention of a scholarship interview in my email. Thanks!
@HS2DirectMed Yes would be great if you let us know what is in your email. In my son’s, it says you will have interview with med faculty and you are invited to scholarship weekend (Feb 19-20). The last line says following:
“Please continue to monitor your email as we will send details regarding the program itinerary and travel arrangements for the event. Please do not make your travel arrangements until you receive further instructions.”
we are waiting for the email so we could make travel arrangements. We are very confused on why they specifically asked us not to make travel arrangements.
Did you get additional email after the first one? Did the first one said not to make travel arrangements?
thanks
All: Miami has 2 scholarship weekends, one on Feb 19-20 and second one on March 18-19. For both times, the Friday is evening registration and formal dinner and the actual event on Sat.day and here is the tentative schedule.

Scholarship Weekend Program

Here is the catch. If some one is just invited for scholarship then it is clear. Need to get a email invitation from Miami and it expects to submit additional essay and plan to attend the interview on the chosen one of the 2 days (Feb or March). My D got that email y’day at 12:15 pm PST. But she got rejection for BS/MD program long time back. Hence I do not know how they have structured the day for few of you who has got the interview invitation for BS/MD and also the scholarship OR those who are invited only for the BS/MD only. Mostly the 2 interviews may happen on Sat.day.
Even though it is called scholarship weekend, they have both activities happening on the same weekend to reduce the number of travel. But my understanding you need to get invitation explicitly either for BS/MD or Scholarship or both. Few colleges do similar to what Miami is doing (another example is Baylor).
Apparently this Miami date of Feb 19th is going to coincide with temple date of Feb 19th interview, when temple interview comes out.
@GoldenRock : thanks so much for the detailed reply. The letter indicates that candidates will have med faculty interview over the scholarship weekend. Confusion is that they told us to wait till further instruction and not make travel arrangements.
To anyone who applied to Hofstra’s 4+4 program, how did you send/submit your secondary application?
