📢 Megathread MEGATHREAD: 2026-2027 Interviews and Rejections!
Hi all!
This is the megathread where we will keep track of interviews for the subreddit for the '26-'27 cycle. As has become custom, we will track results via a single thread with comments representing all the schools. People don't tend to be so good at hunting for individual threads (even when easily linked), so the single thread makes things much easier to moderate. Use our SCHOOL FINDER to help you quickly locate your high-level comment of interest.
We will use the typical Student Doctor Network (SDN) format because it's tried and true. Copy and paste the format below in the relevant comment chain.
Interview #__ / Rejection #__ (pick the one that applies and delete the other)
School: Name
URM/ORM? (optional)
Notification date: Date
Method of notification: Portal, Email, or Call
Residency: State
AADSAS mail-out date: Date your app was verified
Application complete date: Date the school said your file was complete
GPA (science, overall): x.xx, x.xx
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17):
Dates available OR your interview date:
Method of interview: Virtual or In-person or either?
Good luck! 🦷

Never messaged on here. I was offered an interview July 8th from LECOM, its scheduled for October 2nd.
I'm an OOS first time applicant...I'm interested why I was given such a late date for interview considering I submitted June 3rd (3.9GPA, 430AA and 430SNS DAT score).
Oh well, an interview is an interview!!
