This is my third cycle so I know waiting is hard! Do you mind sharing what you think helped you get in this cycle vs the previous two cycles? Did you interview in the previous two cycles? What did you do between the cycles to get the final "yes"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you interview in the previous two cycles? What did you do between the cycles to get the final "yes"? Apologies in advance for this long reply: I wrecked my GPA pretty good before getting to this point. I'll start with that. I am a non-traditional student and the main difference between this cycle and last is that I did a master's program in health sciences, online and did really well. I also did a second BS degree in lab sciences a few years before that (also mostly online). I needed a way to prove myself after making such a mess and I also wanted to show my aptitude for online learning! I found virtual shadowing opportunities as well. As far as metrics, that was the difference. I am also interested in primary care and rural medicine and have lots of experiences (personal and volunteer) in those areas so I feel that helped. I also believe that the supplementals are huge. Since interviews are MMI, you have to realize that those essays are like interview questions and the app could be your only chance to answer them and they are obviously important to the program. This is all just my take on it though. This was my first cycle interviewing at Yale Online. I did get a couple of in state interviews last year and was waitlisted at one school. Trust me when I say that I know how discouraging it can be and how hard it is to be patient. I almost didn't submit my application because that's how discouraged I was. I didn't think it could actually happen and here I am! Do I like that it took so long? No. Does that really matter to me right now? An even bigger no. Just keep in mind that a "no" is not forever but the one "yes" that you need will be. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to say what exactly they or any program look for to make the cut, but I think your persistence really shined. I am new, so I am not really familiar with the MMI interviews. Would love to hear how they go and what types of questions they ask...although I am still early on this journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompoundKat Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I got an interview request! I had almost given up hope since it’d been 2 weeks since I submitted my app and hadn’t heard anything, so it was a great surprise to see the email in my inbox! Submitted: 8/24 In review: 8/25 Interview invite: 9/7 Interview scheduled: 9/23 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtama Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hey y’all! I would also love to know what the timeline was for those who already interviewed and heard a decision.

CL152 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Yes they wait until after the panel. All acceptances go out on Fridays, waitlist is Saturday and Monday, and rejections Monday/Tuesday. At least that has been the trend with every interview cycle this year! Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like the decision was already made because my panel ended sort of late in the evening and I got the call in the morning the next day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CompoundKat Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 The interview request says to have 2 forms of ID, one of which is a government issued photo ID. I’m going to use my license but I’m curious as to what other people used for their second form of ID? Would my social security card be adequate? Or does it need to have my picture on it? Thanks!
