**Official Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread 2012-2013**

[SweetTea25]

I know a lot of people mentioned this already. But it seems like schools are a lot slower this year.. On this day last year, the Official Acceptance thread was up to pages 23-24. We only have 7 pages of invites. :/

I feel like this has just been a bad cycle to apply in general. Of all cycles, we picked the one where Predents had to die (PDizzle where are youuu). Admissions has never been more competitive, things seem to be moving slower than usual, and we got stuck with DoeAdeer

Sounds cliche to say that things have never been more competitive and arguably incorrect....
http://www.adea.org/publications/tde/Documents/Applicants and Enrollees, 1990 and 2000 to 2009.pdf

Number of applicants are going down (albeit slightly though probably not significantly) and more schools have opened since that peak in 2007. The applicant:seats available (proxy measurement: enrollment) ratio has gone down since 2007 http://www.adea.org/publications/td...First Year Enrollment Trends 1980 to 2011.pdf

No its not a typo.. my DAT scores were just all over the place. 19bio/29chem/28ochem/20PAT/19Read/16Qr 22AA/22TS

 

[ywatson]

It was mailed on 8/17, and I received on 8/20.

 

[sacapuntas]

No its not a typo.. my DAT scores were just all over the place. 19bio/29chem/28ochem/20PAT/19Read/16Qr 22AA/22TS

Sorry for saying you were wrong, I must misunderstand the way the test is scored. I always thought TS was:

(Bio * 0.4) + (GC * 0.3) + (OC * 0.3) which would give you a 25TS. The equation has worked for every breakdown I have checked before.

And all scores averaged besides PAT I thought was the AA...which correctly gives you a 22.

Either way, congrats on the interviews and good work on chemistry haha!

 

[littlemisspiggy]

For WesternU interviewers, did you guys get a confirmation e-mail after the phone call?
