Anyone getting freaked out that we're supposed to hear back tomorrow? I'm at work right now, and I can't even concentrate. I basically work on a PRN, as-needed basis, and I told them I would be unavailable tomorrow. I figure that whether in joy or sorrow, I'm going to be drinking a few tomorrow night.

Right there with ya ! Freaking out a bit, really wanna get in here.

they are lucky I can't wait to interview at VCOM-Auburn or I just would have said *bleep* it all and cancelled.

Did your II come from the 334 area code? I was in class earlier today and let an "unknown" number go to voicemail .. and almost had anxiety over it LOL.

 

[doctorveebs]

All of my calls from VCOM came from Jasmine's number, I have it saved in my phone.

[AamirB]

[TEX 1234]

Do they still call for wait list, hold, rejection, etc.?

I'm pretty sure they only call for acceptance

 

[AamirB]

Damn, that makes me even more nervous since I haven't gotten a call yet. I really shouldn't be this nervous I already have 1 acceptance!

Don't worry, someone in this forum didn't get a call until the following day last time

 

[doctorveebs]

Yeah they divided the calls over two days on 10/16. I was a mess.

 

[drummermedic]

I was at a funeral when I got the call, I still haven't deleted the voice mail.

 

[skeletor06]

Congrats everyone! I haven't gotten a call yet, so I'm getting REALLY worried...

 

[TRexP]

I was at a funeral when I got the call, I still haven't deleted the voice mail.

I had the same as both if you haha. I was in the gym for an hour and that is when I missed the call. I'm betting she's out of office till tomorrow as it is almost 6 in Auburn. Call came from a 334 number and she left the voicemail...I'm not going to believe it till I hear it live though haha.

Well looks like your application is absolutely stacked. As long as you show good social skills in the interview, I'd say you are exactly what they are looking for.

Primary released here on 9/18. Still have not received a secondary... kinda frustrating, in state applicant

Would love to have you as classmate! Sounds like you are a very well rounded applicant. Good luck!! No interview yet? It's still relatively early. And you're right, Gods got it all worked out for you.

You're gonna get that II and have your pick. I'm gonna start plaguing Jasmine's email otherwise. I know where she works. LOL!

/QUOTE]

So what is your cGPA and sGPA? Just wondering because I am confused with all of your different GPAs lol

 

[ChiefComplaint]

Sounded like 3.2c/3.2s with a significant upward trend over last two years. Is that right @Non sibi sed omnibus?

Yes, upward trend for sure. My first postbacc semester was a 2.7, which also killed my postbacc GPA. Postbacc jumped as well. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread with this.

 

[TRexP]

I was able to answer the phone call this morning from Jasmine and I have been accepted. Congrats to all the others with the same news!

I wouldn't be too nervous, the interview is extremely comfortable and laid back. It is not like some other schools were they want to see how you handle stress, they really just want to get to know you and chat. In my interview the interviewers were laughing and telling stories. No stress!
