thanks
KEH said:I got an email today for a closer look weekend from UVM. It stated that it is inviting "all accepted applicants". I have not heard back from UVM yet, but does this mean I have been accepted...what do you think? Did anyone else get this email?
KEH said:I hope that means I was accepted. I'm trying not to get too excited yet though. I am in-state (which is a great advantage) and interviewed January 27th. My GPAs ok (3.61) but my MCAT wasn't the best. However, I had a lot of ECs and good leadership/work experience.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If I don't hear by this weekend, I am not sure I can make it! Anyone think they'd tell me if I was accepted if I called and asked?

It sounds good, but without an acceptance letter it's hard to tell.

The official word I got regarding the closer look email message was that "We have learned that our email has reached applicants prior to the regular mail. Your acceptance letter is in the mail." Mine came today and I am ecstatic that this application process is finally over.
Best of luck to everyone.
nona1 said:Hey, congrats! I just pm'd you, but you answered some of my questions here. Looks like only those who got the email were accepted outright, and seems as though all of those are in-staters
So do you think you'll go? And when you called did you happen to find out if they've filled their class with 100 acceptances already? Congrats again!
bigpinesman said:I was wondering about the Maine access program, can you be in it if you went to high school in Maine, but went out of state for college?
If you are not from Maine or have already finished undergrad, then you need to have lived in Maine for one continuous year prior to application. In the past, Mainers working in Boston during their gap year have actually had to move back to Kittery/York in order to reside in Maine but still be close enough to continue working. However, given that we have no public med school and no MD program here, I am very thankful for the program's assistance.Do you have to reside in Maine for one year immediately prior to applying to the program, or will having lived there for one or more years in the past be sufficient?
DianaLynne said:Heck, they told me about five weeks ago that I might still hear about an interview! Though honestly, I doubt it's gonna happen. It's sad, when I started this whole process UVM was my first choice. Guess I'm not Vermont material.
bigpinesman said:I'm really interested to hear what your hand-written note said. I don't think that is typical. At this point in the admissions cycle, they have to hold open spots for future Vermont and Maine Access applicants, as these students cannot be placed on the waitlist.
Do you have any idea how many slots they keep open, and if they are required to fill them all w/those applicants?

scrappysurfer said:ahhhhh.
Is there a difference between the waitlist and the "acceptable/alternate" list? I am now waitlisted (?) for both MD and MD/PhD. This being my #2 choice...if I get waitlisted/rejected for my #1 this week too I will be very sad.
Is UVM still interviewing? They seem to actually like Cali applicants. I'm from Cali but would give up my Cali MSTP spot in a heartbeat for UVM. Pleaseeee. I don't ever want to sit in traffic on the 405 again. I don't want an $800,000 townhouse. Pleaseee.
