No, the interview for current applicants in Feb 2021 may not be like interview at NJMS where one interviews with NJMS medical school admission committee members. The interview with LKSOM admission committee members is held in Spring of Junior year after a preliminary application is filed with LKSOM during the start of Spring semester. All current cycle invitees to Temple BSMD are interviewed during the same day and they all may be given a virtual tour (during covid19) of medical school facilities in the afternoon.

Congrats!
Just checked my Case portal and saw there hasnāt been an update yetā¦ can anyone relate/confirm?
how difficult is it to maintain a 3.75 gpa at pitt as a bioengineering major? is it manageable?
They will invite students for an interview on Feb 1st, if they selected as per the admission office. Please below their response to my email
"We will be notifying students around February 1st if they have been invited for an interview for the program. "

Thank you!
I have heard that NJIT gives a full scholarship for undergrad once a student is accepted to NJMS. Is this true or does the previous scholarship of typically 20K hold true? The students would be part of the Albert Dorman Honors College and Iām under the impression that all those students get a full ride scholarship. Does anyone know anything about this?
So hereās what remains for my kiddo and my attempt to put together notification dates:
Temple- interview notice to be sent mid January
Drexel (app forwarded to med school)/ should be notified by end of Jan if picked for interview
Hofstra (supplements sent)- if selected, interviews March
VCU (accepted Honors UG)- end of January(???)
BU- could be notified around 2nd week Jan
Case- portal update end of January
GW- to be notified by mid January
Brown- Notified on Ivy Day?
URochester- to be updated 3rd week of January
FAU (accepted Honors UG)- later spring, March?

@snsh5713, some people have indicated that NJIT gives full ride to BSMD candidates but it is not set in stone and is not officially mentioned on NJIT website. They do mention that National Merit Finalists get full tuition. Regardless, I think BSMD students get good (and may be full) scholarship at NJIT.
VCU is the end of January im pretty sure
Did Temple already send the the interview for January or To be sent ?
would pitt be a good option for regular undergrad?
also how difficult is it to maintain a 3.75 gpa at pitt as a bioengineering major if a part of GAP? is it manageable?
Has anyone been emailed from Drexel about paying the med school processing fee? The website says:
- Late December ā All qualified applicants will be emailed with detailed for paying the medical school processing fees.
- January ā The College of Medicine will email eligible applicants to pay the processing fee.
- January 15 ā Deadline to pay the processing fee.
But he hasnāt received an email and the thing is due in 11 days. I donāt see anything on his portal about it either except that his application was forwarded
My S received an email and he paid fee couple of weeks back.But I heard from some one in this group that his D has not received fee details to pay and just the portal got updated like yours as his D fee waived during the application process. May be that is the reason for your S as well. Please confirm from Drexel
Did your S got fee waiver?
Ohhhhh thank you! I completely forgot they waive application fees for veteranās children. I bet the medical college extended the waiver for its application too. I am having him email to double check but I bet thatās it!
Thanks!
Did anyone hear from UIC GPPA Medicine regarding CASper test or interview?
