[goldy490]

can you post your school list? Thanks!

Its painfully long so I'll PM you, but basically it was every Florida school (MD/DO) plus a slew of private schools with lower end stats and a couple OOS friendly state schools.

This cycle has actually been going really well, so far I'm up to:
II: LECOM-B, FAU, FIU, Albany, Tulane, VA Tech, U Miami, and Emory.
Holds: GW and Arizona Tuscon
Rejections: CMS Rosalind Franklin

praying for good news on judgement day tomorrow (Oct 15th)

EMORY?!

Ballin'!

Thanks! I literally don't think I've ever been more surprised in my entire life.

BTW, Thank you for your service! Ive actually heard Emory has special considerations for veterans since theyre so closely tied to the Atlanta VA

Thanks, man! Good luck tomorrow!

With my stats, I'd run around in circles screaming if I got an II from Emory. I hope, I hope!

[valorain]

I'm jumping on the lucky update train!

Received a third II from UIC last week. Still have 2 holds and 2 rejections. I guess it is mildly comforting that everyone is wading months of silence from so many schools haha

 

[Throwaway692015]

Hoping for some good luck when things start moving again after traffic day.

LizzyM 69

1 II: rejected
4 holds: Arizona, suny upstate, gw, Albany

Hoping for more II!

If not I'll work my butt off and rock another mcat, confident I'll get in either this year or after some more resume boosters

 

[BigChief]

I'll take some good luck.

[MedHopeful09]

Update:

0 II
2 rejections: Albany and USC
Hold: GW

38 more schools to go and complete at most around 9/18.

One.
All I want is one II so I can at least know I'm not on some medical school blacklist for daring to apply to the number of reach schools I did.


I swear I'm a good person/applicant/pre-med!

I swear we are almost the same person. Brother from another mother? I do have a II and have not applied to Albany, but almost the same with everything else.

 

[CellPowerhouse]

FIRST ACCEPTANCE!!!! Ahhhh this thread really does bring good luck.

 

[trini818]

FIRST ACCEPTANCE!!!! Ahhhh this thread really does bring good luck.

Where?!

 

[whatsupdr]

FIRST ACCEPTANCE!!!! Ahhhh this thread really does bring good luck.

Congrats!! Where?

 

[coldcase331]

FIRST ACCEPTANCE!!!! Ahhhh this thread really does bring good luck.

how can they do that? I thought it 10/15 was the first day they could give acceptances? But congrats!!!

 

[MedHopeful09]

My adrenaline is pumping from just reading the excitement in the last few posts!!
Nice to see us <70-er's stick together!

I know! haha
Once you get in somewhere, I'm going to work that family connection!

 

[Fedekz]

Right about now I'm appreciating the value of applying early, like in July. I submitted in mid to late August - not late by any means, but certainly not early.

2 ii (GW, UW)
0 holds
0 rejections
18 silence

I can tell you from personal experience that applying early (submitted June 2nd) is not giving other people or myself any real advantage. In fact people completed from much later dates are getting II's and/or status updates of some kind.

 

[CellPowerhouse]

Congrats! DO? Or was it one of those MD schools who lets news slip a day early?

Congrats!! Where?

how can they do that? I thought it 10/15 was the first day they could give acceptances? But congrats!!!

I just randomly checked my portal for Buffalo and it showed up. I guess someone in the Admissions Office got excited for tomorrow - thankful that they were though, this made my day!

[CellPowerhouse]

I like you evolution

Haha thanks! It's been a long time coming.

 

[BluMist]

Time to update your status to accepted as well

Haha thanks! It's been a long time coming.

 

[grey_wind]

One final post for good luck- hope everyone gets good news tomorrow if you're expecting to hear back!

 

[Master3930]

Good luck post ❤️

 

[retrieverbark]

LizzyM of 63-65

Waiting to hear back from a ton of MD and DO and keeping my fingers crossed as a Texas resident
A few rejections
and 1/2 holds.
Good luck to all of us!!

Temple states directly on their website that getting your application in early doesn't mean it'll be reviewed early....
So i wonder how many other schools are like this.

how can they do that? I thought it 10/15 was the first day they could give acceptances? But congrats!!!

DO schools have been giving out acceptances for a while now.

[goldy490]

Congrats buddy!!! Now that you're done with your good luck, mind donating the rest of it to us?

I'd be honored! Heres to wishing everyone the best luck and a happy October 15th

 

[ScubaManD]

First acceptance to FIU!

LizzyM 66. Reapplicant.

I hope everyone waiting on II's and acceptances hear back sooner rather than later now that the train is rolling!

 

[Fedekz]

Now that acceptances are rolling out, and perhaps people are withdrawing from schools they're less interested in I wonder if ii's will pick up in the coming weeks?

 

[Fedekz]

Double post
