The fact is that there’s no rule governing how much time a medical school has to respond to your application. When do medical schools start interviewing?This question doesn’t have a single answer. Many med schools start sending out interview invitations in August, shortly after the first secondary applications are received. Some schools have a quick turnaround, but others seem to drag on and on – especially when you’re constantly refreshing your email to see if they’ve contacted you. Waiting is even harder when others are receiving invitations and you haven’t heard anything. Although it might be tempting, don’t call the school to check on your status – this is sure to backfire on you. Trust that the admissions office is working through the applications as fast as they can. No news from med schools: When should you worry and what can you do about it?Submitted my primary app, but haven’t received a secondarySome schools screen for secondaries. If it’s been 6-8 weeks since you applied to one of these schools, and you haven’t received a secondary, you might consider sending a Letter of Interest (LOI) to the program. This strategy can be effective if you have a strong connection to the school or its locale. Your reasons for approaching the program in this way might be a connection to an alumnus, a special fit with the program’s research efforts, familiarity with the locale, or even friends in the program who have raved about what they’re learning. Or it might simply be that X School of Medicine has always been your dream school and you want to give it your best shot. In any case, your LOI should demonstrate an understanding of the program going beyond the ordinary (i.e., what’s on their admissions website) and show that you’ve done your research. Before contacting your chosen program(s), you must confirm that they accept additional materials. Some programs are very clear about not wanting anything but the primary and secondary applications, and you should always follow their instructions. You should also check whether you fall within their range of accepted students. Are your GPA and MCAT scores above their lowest accepted scores? If not, then you’ve likely been screened out. It’s very important that as you show your fit for the program, your LOI should also highlight your unique qualities in a way that might not have come across as admissions committee members ticked off boxes on their checklists. Submitted my secondaries, but waiting for medical school interview invitesIf you’ve submitted your secondary and are waiting for an interview, the wait can seem interminable. It’s important during this time to focus on other interests, especially things that you are passionate about. If you finally do get an interview and are asked about your recent activities, you’ll want to have more to say than “checking my email.” Watch: If I don’t get an interview invitation by Thanksgiving does it mean I was rejected?
The bulk of interview invites (“IIs”) go out between September and January. The earliest IIs tend to go to those who not only submitted secondaries early but who have (1) high stats and (2) very specific reasons for attending the program – this is where tailoring your secondary to each school is a huge advantage. There are always applicants who get later IIs, however, so don’t give up hope. If you submitted your application early and haven’t heard anything by November, you might want to think about sending an LOI. Again, showing your genuine connection with or interest in the school is essential. Have you learned something new about the program that piqued your interest? Have you been in contact with alumni of the school? And combining an LOI with an update letter can make it even more effective. Emphasize your new accomplishments as well as your strong fit and interest in that program. Don’t limit yourself to a single LOI/update letter. Most programs want to know when you have substantial accomplishments to share, and it demonstrates your genuine interest in the program. Of course, don’t overwhelm them with letters and always follow the individual program’s instructions about additional materials.

* Info from 2021-22 application cycle. Will be updated as new info becomes available. If you represent a medical school and want your school added to the list, please email . Post-secondaries, pre-interview: Planning aheadAs the September-January period comes to a close, interviews tend to wind down. Some programs do continue to extend invitations late into the spring. However, if you still haven’t received interviews, you may want to start thinking about your game plan for the next year. Start by taking a good hard look at your application:
Don’t give up!It’s not much consolation, but in most years the AAMC reports a higher number of applicants than the previous year, with steadily increasing stats. Whether that’s due to the Fauci Effect or the popularity of Chicago Med is anybody’s guess. But if you’re serious about medicine and can show that in your application, you’ll make it.
