I called. They said by this week or next. Ahhh the days just keep on adding ! This is insanely stressful

I spoke with Dr. Dribin today and I am high on the alternate list at this point. She is waiting for movement in the medical school for those seats to open up. So good luck to everyone and I am keeping my fingers crossed

So does that mean there are no seats available and all 15 are already decided? What did she say exactly?

She did not indicate whether all seats were full she was just telling me just because I have only taken the mcat once ad others have taken it three times or more and are good applicants and they had a little more priority. Also there were students last year that were not accepted that they accepted this year leaving less seats.. So I have to wait for movement in medical schools before the alternate list also has movement..

Oh I see. Now I understand.

Accepted!

Got the phone call today and got accepted!! Good luck to everyone else still waiting!!

Congrats!!!!!!!

Congratulations guys!! ...I wonder if they already told the ppl who last year they couldn't accept, but they're accepting this year...

still waiting, trying to stay positive

Congrats guys!!!!! I hope there is some movement so I have a chance I do not want to have to take mcat again and love NOVA!!

Congrats to everyone! kreindel, I feel like I may be an alternate as well...I've only taken my mcat twice and I just graduated in may. At my interview they hinted that most people that are accepted have taken their mcat more than twice

Yup that is exactly what they told me as well and what Dr Dribin explained to me on the phone. We just have to stay positive and hope there is movement in the program and the medical school as well. I will keep you updated if I hear anything though!

Well, I've taken the MCAT 3 times...had good grades...done tons of extracurriculars...shadowed AT nova...applied last year and got waitlisted...spoke with Dr. Dribin all year about what to do and did what she told me...and I haven't heard anything either. Sooooo, getting kind of anxious now...

Tomorrow's my bday, hopefully I'll hear then...would be an awesome present

Thank you! and I will let you know if I hear anything as well!

DarkPixie, What did Dr. Dribin say that you should do during that year? did she want you to take the mcat again and then apply to the DO school again?

No, actually she told me to take more high level science courses. So when I was registering I made sure to ask her for advice on what would be best to take. She also helped me with shadowing. Basically just kept in contact with her. Then she said reapply and let her know when I send my application in.

How long were you on the wait list last year before you heard something??? I think you will get in then!!! And my birthday is Friday so that would be a nice gift as well!!

I was told I was on the waitlist Memorial Day weekend (bad bday then lol) and got the "official" letter that no one gave up a spot by August I think?? And how awesome, hope we both have good birthdays!!

Like as a non-degree seeking student? And what classes? Sorry about all the questions I'm getting really anxious and just wanna have some sort of a plan if I don't get in haha

August man?!! Lol that is a long time and kind of sucks that the possibility no one will give up a spot. happy birthday and hope its with good news!

I'm an alternate too.....Dr. Dribin just emailed me back

Man now here goes more waiting for us

Got emailed too...alternate...again. I really don't get it, I feel like I did everything asked of me. I'm at a loss right now...

Did she tell you if you were high on the List or not ?? The worst you can do is get discouraged... Look into fau program Lecom touro-Harlem. Maybe Barry program.

Don't give up hope! Have you applied anywhere else?

agree with Kreindel! I think LECOM's program is very good as well. And they are still accepting applications. 3.0 on the post bacc and a 23 on the MCAT, they pretty much guarantee you a spot.

Thanks for the supportive comments guys. She didn't tell me high or low, just "alternate again." I had only applied here, but I guess if lecom is still accepting apps there's no harm in sending one (except my MCAT score was 22).

Just saw this...no worries. Yeah, as a non-degree seeking student (which sucked cause no financial aid). Classes like physiology, immunology, histology, etc...

Apply to LECOM.. They are super helpful, and they told me that students have been accepted when they were lower (just a little) than 23, as long as you rock the post bacc... Call them tomorrow. Jamie Murphy is the director, super helpful! Dont give up, live your dream

Anybody waiting to hear from other medical schools?

Just got accepted. For those of you on the alternate list keep your heads up! For everyone else good luck.

Did u get accepted off the waitlist?? Congrats by the way!! She told me if I had taken the mcat more than once I would of been accepted but giving people who have taken more than once priority that's why I'm on alternate list

Congrats!!!!

Well this is my second time applying to the program. Dr. Dribin had me at the top of the list. I was kinda on the alternate list but only for a day. Dr. Dribin said the med school took up some extra seats and that once more med students drop more MBS students will be called from the alternate list. Like I said keep your heads up and don't lose hope.

Good luck everyone!
