***Official Thread for 2016 BSMD applicants***

@ljames6 sent you a PM.

@Sam999 Baylor2Baylor Med Track requires TWO interviews. Invitation to the first interview came on Dec 11.

“The first-round interview date is Friday, January 22, 2016. After all interviews have been completed at Baylor University, the screening committee will select the top applicants and send a short list of the most highly qualified individuals and their credentials to the Baylor College of Medicine for consideration. Baylor College of Medicine will conduct a second round of interviews and select the six students to receive guaranteed admission into Baylor College of Medicine …”

@HS2DirectMed is anything paid for?

I had applied to Drexel/drexel, Villanova/Drexel, rosemont/Drexel, temple, unconn, UAB, penn state. None of them sent either rejection. Does anyone know approximate dates we will receive letter. On wait list for UKMC. Interview for NEOMED. Did any one get any other college interviews?

@dvrvarma123 See page 84 post 1255 for details. UAB already notified both rejection / interview.

For NEOMED, when is ur interview and are u OOS? Do u know how many students are invited for interview from OOS?

For penn state
It is the portal
Interviews are being sent out for feb 10

Has anyone heard back from Brown University, Boston University BS/MD program and Texas programs - UT Dallas PACT,UTSA?

Also what is the income threshold needed to fill out FAFSA application?

Prompt response is greatly appreciated.

@want2bedoc there is no income threshold, anyone can apply. I have not heard back from PACT or Brown.

@want2bedoc for boston u, i heard back about 10 days ago for an interview
haven’t heard from anywhere else

I understand that there is no income threshold for FAFSA but is it still worth applying if the income is more then 100K?

For Boston University, did they send out an email or by phone?

Also did anyone hear back from UTSA FAME?

@HS2DirectMed Are you from Texas? Does UThealth only allow Texan to apply? But how can you drive to AMC and fly to Baylor?

by phone followed by an email for BU

Brown does only standard Alumni interviews and NOT PLME interviews.

@want2bedoc, there is no income threshold needed to fill out the FAFSA application. You just do it and the university uses the tabulations accordingly.

Anyone else still waiting to hear from PSU?

NW HPME began releasing interview decisions on 1/21 last year.
REMS released all results on 1/21 last year.
For those of you awaiting for these results, the anxiety’s going to reach a record high.

@bunnicula23 Yooo, I knew about REMS but not HPME on 1/21!! Do you know when the HPME interview decisions will be done being sent out? I had a good interview that I’m hoping will factor in… ;u;

@agirlinasweater After reading posts from last year, it seems that HPME interview decisions will all be sent out by mid February. I have an interview with Northwestern’s Undergrad really soon, but I do not think the comments from UG will be forwarded to the medical school.

Is the PSU/Jefferson faculty interview in the Multiple Mini Interview format? The email I received wasn’t clear on the specifics.

@Salmanly yep still waiting…

What does the Penn State portal say for you guys?
