Did you hear that from admissions, or are you just inferring? Either way, this really is tragic lol. I can't believe there's been next to no movement on sdn since May 15th... Last year so many more people got in from here. I just don't get it...

there was consistent movement on the waitlist in the previous weeks so dont give up hope! I was pulled off a few weeks back and didnt have the time to post due to the pre-medical school prep like loans/health/housing etc so dont expect there to be a correlation between waitlist movement and sdn posts

Just spoke to Pat in admissions, she said she really doesn't think any more spots will open up between now and the start of class sigh...*runs to a corner to cry*

When I spoke to admissions rep 2 days ago, she said "you never know what could happen.. so don't lose hope.." I'm going to listen to her.. I really need that optimism.

I am also hoping we have a chance off of the waitlist this year When is the last day we can hear? Let's all stay positive maybe there's still a chance.

last year someone from our class was accepted the day before orientation started (Aug. 9!) This person is now a rising second year

so it's not over yet. people not yet admitted should certainly be pursuing their Plan B at this point, though....

Really??? That's some good news! If I got accepted on that day it would be the happiest day of my life ! It would be the best birthday present in the world! But, i already started plan B with reapplying and addressing my application weakness. Thanks for your post I wish all the waitlisteds would get accepted this year. I am sending positive energy to all of us because I understand how stressful it is for everyone

Hey guys,

I got into UVM today!!! You have no idea how excited I am. This was my first acceptance! I hope that more of you get in over the next few days. Don't lose hope!

Hey! Sorry I meant to post more details, but I was in too much shock. I am an out of state resident from NY, but I did my undergrad at Middlebury. I was a psychology major and art history minor. My strengths include tons of medical research, publications, and over a thousand hours of voluteers work (mostly cuddling babies in the NICU and work abroad in Costa Rica). I did a postbaccalaureate pre-med program. I am a 25 year old female, non-traditional student. I wrote tons of letters about why I love UVM and a letter of intent. I called two days ago to reaffirm my interest and tell them that I was prepared to accept an offer at the last minute. They called to tell me this afternoon!!! Biggest thing keeping me out of medical school was my MCAT (28R). I'm happy to provide more info for your guys. Private message me or just ask. Please don't give up hope guys even if you have to reapply. I applied to 29 schools, got 4 interviews, and one acceptance today! Anything can happen!

12/20/2011 - Interview offer
2/22/2011 - Interview
3/26/2011 - Letter of Interest
5/9/2011 - Letter of Interest
5/17/2011 - Letter of Intent
5/31/2011 - Letter of Interest
7/29/2011 - Offer of Acceptance

I probably called about 5 times. I never called more than once every two weeks and I NEVER asked about the status of my application. I always called to share an update and reaffirm my interest. I called on 7/27/11 to tell them that I was still interested and was interested in a last minute spot. I told them that even if a student dropped out two days into orientation, I could be there the same day. I think it helped that I am not a plane ride away.

Did you try to speak with a dean or did you just express your interest to whoever was manning the phone in the admissions office?

 

[Hemeresearcher]

I just spoke to whoever answered the phone or I asked if there was someone available to discuss my application with me. I don't think I ever spoke to the dean before she called to accept me.
