How do medical schools inform you about an interview?
My top choice medical school has updated the status of my supplemental application. It has been changed from "under review" to stating that the committee has made a decision and I should expect an official letter in the mail in 30 days.
I’m thinking that if the school wanted to meet for an interview, they would not wait 30 days. How do medical schools inform a candidate of an interview? Is it by mail, email, or phone? What would you make of this? 30 days is a long time to sit in the dark. Thanks for your replies.
You have either been admitted or declined. You will just have to be patient. It is not a question of an interview.
I was notified of all of my interviews by email, and one school sent a letter in addition to an email. I applied in June, and didn’t get 1 interview until November and another until January.
Edit: Not to freak you out, but I also thought of something else. Most people don’t get an interview at all, and they will send a rejection letter out upon reviewing the supplemental. So, my guess is it’s a notification of interview or rejection letter meaning you didn’t get past their initial filters/requirements. Most people don’t make it to an interview.

I have just applied to Pharmacy school, which is similar to Medical school in the way that they do acceptance. I was notified by e-mail that I was selected for an interview and then there was a list of dates that I had to choose from to schedule my interview. They didn’t bother to send out letters, they just sent e-mails and sometimes they might call.
