People who have recently gotten IIs, did you have a campus preference on your app?
I submitted my secondary on August 7th.Nice! Congrats. When did you submit your Secondary? I feel like that should be a prerequisite for anyoen that posts when they get an Interview Invite at this point loll

Would you say that helps or hurts one's case to get an II?People who have recently gotten IIs, did you have a campus preference on your app?
Anecdotal but I completed my secondary in October, put no campus preference and already interviewed. I had pretty low stats but maybe they liked other parts of my application, maybe having no campus preference helped, or maybe it was all random.Would you say that helps or hurts one's case to get an II?
Yeah I wonder if submitting your secondary early/late matters. I submitted my primary and secondary pretty late, also with low stats. So I'm not sure if I'll even get an interview this cycleAnecdotal but I completed my secondary in October, put no campus preference and already interviewed.

I honestly don't know if it matters that much because I submitted my secondary in mid-February and received an II a month later. I am currently on the waitlist.Yeah I wonder if submitting your secondary early/late matters. I submitted my primary and secondary pretty late, also with low stats.

Hey y'all! Just wanted to jump back in to say that the possible last II date is in early June. I only remember this distinctively because I signed up to be one of the student panel reps. (But the date hasn't been confirmed)
As of this point, I just wanted to let some of y'all know that are still waiting for an II that time is running out/already ran out due to the full list of interviewees on the last II date. Please plan accordingly in terms of reapplying if needed.
CONGRATS!!
Thanks for the update! Do you know if Burrell sends out rejection emails saying to reapply if they don’t give you a II?Hey y'all!

Thank you! 8/4/23Congrats!
When did you submit Secondary out of curiosity?
Thank you! 5/1/24Congrats. were you on WL? Also, did you get a call or email?
I was WL 5/1/24 ** sorryThank you! 5/1/24
And I got both!
It seems like they’re going off of when the secondary was submitted.It seems like they're mainly just accepting people that have been waitlisted in the last few weeks.
So it seems like the earlier the submission for Secondaries, the betterIt seems like they’re going off of when the secondary was submitted.
I sent mine in July and still on waitlist. I don't think it is based on secondary dateIt seems like they’re going off of when the secondary was submitted.
When did you interview and get placed on the WLI sent mine in July and still on waitlist. I don't think it is based on secondary date
Why is that the case again?I interviewed on 3/12 and was waitlisted two weeks later. Hoping there is still a chance for me. You can't use FAFSA for the Florida campus, which is kind of a bummer, but I would still go there in a heartbeat.
Because it’s a brand new campus and has to be established for at least 2 years to be eligible for federal loansWhy is that the case again?
I’ve been WL since March 5th this sucksHow long usually students stay on WL? What are the chances of even getting out of WL at this point of cycle?
I genuinely do not understand how unranked waitlists work lolHow does the waitlist work? Some people stay short on it, while others stay there for months.
I interviewed a few weeks ago and when I set mine up I think the last available date (for me to see at least) was this week. They may have added more, but this is just what I saw when I scheduled!For those of us who haven't gotten an interview yet, should we just give up on this cycle and consider reapplying to Burrell next cycle? I also uploaded a letter of interest on my portal.

Sorry about your situation. It’s still not the end, you can still get an II in the near future! I understand it’s easier said than done but don’t lose hope if this is truly your calling. May I ask what you’ve done between your first time applying and your second? By low do you mean low 490s? Just trying to see if there’s any advice/help I can give.I think it depends on your situation. In my case, I’m nontrad/ORM, have a low MCAT, and this is my second cycle with no IIs. I have spent so much time, effort, and money on these past two cycles, but if I don’t end up with an II from Burrell, I am unsure if it’s feasible for me to reapply again because I am older and need a stable career path for the sake of myself and my family, which is devastating.
Because of my situation, I called yesterday to check on my app and spoke to two people. The person who answered the phone said they’re interviewing until the beginning of June. The person my call was redirected to said they’re interviewing until the end of May. So, I don’t think they have an established final interview day, but it’s very near.
If you are a trad applicant, young, don’t have a family, and are okay with doing another cycle in general, yeah, I think you should begin focusing on reapplying. The sense that I got was that there are very few IIs left to go out. Definitely focus on reapplying at this point in the game if it is feasible to do so.

I want to encourage you not to lose hope. I am non-trad, in my 40s, have a family, an immigrant with a low MCAT score. I took MCAT 3 times actually and I almost didn't want to apply this cycle. It was my younger sister who encouraged me to apply so I selected schools based on their MCAT score requirement. Burrell was the first school I got accepted, then another school and another school. I ended up with options to choose from. So, be optimistic and if it does not work out this time, I would encourage you to try againI think it depends on your situation.

I’ve been on the waitlist since DecemberI’ve been WL since March 5th this sucks
Oh .. really? Since December? I have recently seen people move off the waitlist in about 2-3 weeks. How does the WL work?I’ve been on the waitlist since December
Oh wow!!! BCOM FL campus Discord already has 140+? Wonder if the other Florida school OCOM (inaugural class) is Full too? Not much info about OCOM.there are 149 people in the FL BCOM discord. That includes a few staff and current med students (probably about 7-8), so closer to 141 students in the discord

From what it seems, OCOM does not look full, they're still trying to fill their 98 (?) seats for their inaugural class. I got off their waitlist recently, but I ended up turning down the A.Oh wow!!!

That’s what happens when you have a minimum 500 MCAT for a brand new school… SMHFrom what it seems, OCOM does not look full, they're still trying to fill their 98 (?) seats for their inaugural class. I got off their waitlist recently, but I ended up turning down the A.
