Congrats!
Did your status update online?

 

[DrCharlemagne]

I haven't checked yet, but I'm guessing no.

Edit: Confirmed nope. Now I'm checking my phone's call record to comfort myself...

 

[Vegan]

Thanks. This gives me some hope. But, I imagine there are only 10-15 calls to make, so hope is dwindling fast...
Staring at my phone and trying to use jedi mind tricks to make it ring isn't helping.

 

[CanePreMed]

Congratulations to those accepted!!! I

Does that mean HPWL/WL will move soon??

 

[letmein222]

I was under the impression that everyone got a call, regardless of whether they were accepted, HPL/WL, or rejected? Or am I making that up?

My understanding is that those accepted get calls and all others get emails.

 

[sstackhouse]

this was the last regular committee meeting right? do they hold meetings for the waitlist decisions?

Yes, this was the last regular committee meeting. I don't know how they work waitlist decisions.

Same as from what I understand.

Fingers crossed for both of you!

I so desperately want to help someone get off the WL at Drexel

I want to help someone get off the WL at Downstate. Fingers crossed @ HPWL for me too (since Feb)...

 

[letmein222]

Just got the HPWL email, too. Do they send out WL/rejection emails or do most people get HPWL? ...trying to judge how optimistic I should be about this, haha.

[Dr.Amily]

has anyone heard from financial aid yet? financial aid is a big factor in my decision making as may 15 approaches, so i'm anxiously waiting to hear..

 

[Doctor Strange]

Hope everyone had a great time at Second Look! You may have seen me floating around the free food and at the frat party... As always, any and all questions are welcome.

 

[kel148]

Doctor Strange, can you speak about the committee process of reviewing the WL? Is it the same group of people who initially review applications post-interview and decide to place students on the WL? Do they choose in ways to maintain the diversity of the class they originally filled? Any ideas on this would be appreciated! But if you do not know such details, or are not at liberty to speak about them...it's understandable. Thanks in advance for your response.

I have received my financial aid package. At the second look day event they said that over 60 already went out and if didn't receive one it was since there was something missing in your paperwork. She added the at this point there is about a week turnaround once all info is in. You should contact the office directly and ask what your status is if you think you should have received your package.
Good Luck!

I unfortunately have no clue.

Thanks! I couldn't make it to second look so I appreciate the info. All my requirements have been complete since March, so maybe I'll give them a call.

Agreed.. So how often does the committee meet now? Is it just on a rolling basis?

 

[contigo97]

Does anyone know when orientation starts? I'm on the HPWL so I just want to make sure my summer plans don't conflict with it in case I get in!

According to the past 3 years' sdn posts, there should be more individuals accepted off the HPWL already-maybe there's a delay this year like last yr.

Accepted off HPWL!!! Got the call this afternoon.

Can any current students comment on the College within a College, Population Health Track. Can you still apply before M1 year, or can you only apply once you are an M1?

 

[14app91]

This may be a dumb question, but if you have multiple acceptances and have decided to choose Jeff, does anything have to be done other than sending them an email saying you've decided to attend? Thanks!

Applications open in the winter, meaning you can only apply after you start. There will be plenty of information (and free food) on this during orientation week and when the deadline starts drawing closer.

This may be a dumb question, but if you have multiple acceptances and have decided to choose Jeff, does anything have to be done other than sending them an email saying you've decided to attend? Thanks!

Withdraw your other acceptances, and you should be good.
