Via snail mail?

Yup

 

[Typical Average Student]

I really doubt this is possible. Per the ADEA website, it states clearly that we cannot be notified in any form prior to December 1st.

According to last year's Interview/Acceptance thread, people got their letters from Nova a day or two early.

Please scroll your mobile phone up just 5 inches if you think whether upenn send rejections through email or snail mail is important. There is a person asking exactly the same question : )

lol sorry i don't read every single post in every single thread in this forum

but thanks

Mine still says "Application Denied" on my portal as well. Did you ever end up calling to see what the deal was?

I wonder if those that had their status changed without interviews are going to be placed on a waitlist??? Or, they are just messing with everyone because they know people are checking their portals ever 23 seconds LOL.

Did you both interview at Penn, or no?

 

[Culti92]

Did you both interview at Penn, or no?

I was under the impression that if you interviewed at a school, you're automatically waitlisted if not accepted right away? Is this wrong?

This is what UT Memphis told me about their interviewing. December 1st is when they release their acceptances, if you've interviewed, then you're automatically on the waitlist if you didn't get the acceptance phone call on Dec. 1st. But I imagine every school is different.

Most predec rejections are without interview

I am not. Im PA residency, but did my undergrad in Tennessee.

Same. Maybe we can preemptively ask for our money back before they reject us.

Wait why would they place us on a waitlist, if we didn't have an interview?! Im confused lol

 

[ajj70]

To see what they get for their Dec 1st acceptances after the January notification deadline, then they start pulling names off the waitlist for post Jan interviews to fill their classes.

 

[DentalGirl5]

Just went through the 2014-2015 acceptances thread. Don't know why I did that to myself haha. So close guys! One week! Good luck to everyone. We're all in this together.

 

[zammyd]

On another note, it seems many schools have gone quiet in regards to sending out more interviews

I fully regret going back through that thread. Bad memories.... On a side note 2nd times the charm?

If I have an interview in December, will I find out if I got in shortly after or would they sadistically make me wait a few months?

You usually find out within a few weeks if it is post december I am pretty sure

now that I think about it. I don't know if I want to know that soon.

This whole cycle is so ****ing stressful!!

Hi guys,

rejection #1 UCSF

Application completed/sent: Sept. 19 2015
CA Residency
3.5 overall gpa
3.3 science gpa
19 DAT
URM

UCSF was my top choice if accepted but apparently im not "good" enough. Very depressing day. Now Western or USC is my only hope this cycle. Too broke to apply to alot of schools...

Good luck guys.

Going to email UCSF and ask how I can improve my application. I'll keep you guys updated...

 

[ajj70]

That is to be expected. First, they are probably busy picking who is going to get accepted, Thanksgiving is this week, then Dec 1st they will be notifying, they won't know who officially accepts until early January so they don't know if they need to fill more spots or not, or how many exactly. Add in Christmas break and now it's after the 1st of the year.

Hey man! So from what I've heard is that you can get rejected before dec 1 unless you interview, in which case that's like a safeguard that keeps you safe until dec 1. Once dec 1st hits there are no rules to this game - you can get rejected with or without an interview, but you can also start getting accepted on this date. Once dec 1 hits, schools also start making a waitlist, which you can only get on if you interviewed and they liked you, but for some reason or another didn't want to dish out the acceptance. Each school is different, but this is the model I use as a general rule of thumb.

UPitt changed its status to from "Application Denied" to "Received/Application Complete" for me, too. Decision date was yesterday 11/24. I guess I'm not denied anymore? Hopefully it's true someone said on here that the rejection was only a computer glitch. I didn't get any email/snail mail either.
