Do most schools send out rejections via email or regular mail?

[xerxes106]

All my rejections have been via snail mail.

 

[StumpMT]

Do most schools send out invites in the morning? For example if I don't hear anything by noon or 1pm is the day shot?

I would say many do, but honestly any time during a regular work day is fair game, you have to remember if some are in a different time zone as well. I got one after 2pm and another around 4 pm.

 

[viks_fan21]

All my rejections have been via snail mail.

Question for those receiving rejection letter(s). Do the rejections that are occurring this early in the game result primarily based on falling below some un-published cut-off (i.e. do you have a 2.99 GPA, 15 PAT, etc. etc.?)? Or are there people with 3.8, 21 AA getting rejected already?

 

[xerxes106]

I mean, my oGPA is 3.14 but my science hovers a bit lower around 3.0 and I don't have any DAT scores below 22/23.....it may just be that Nova didn't like my GPA and MOSDOH/LECOM rejected me for other reasons. I'm sure there's folks with higher stats than I that have gotten a rejection or two though.

Last Friday I received my invite to Minn at 5:30 pm MST.

Excited, really like Bradenton, FL!


Got rejected from Nova and they haven't returned my calls or emails. Really frustrating to cut a $50 check, get rejected two week later AND be unable to talk to anyone there about it. That's pretty low in my book.

I apologize if you have already answered this question, but what method of notification did Nova use to deliver your rejection? I am awaiting a response from them as well. Thank you for your help!

It really was a quick turnaround from when I completed their supplemental. I was surprised.

I have not. This is my first cycle. Why do you ask?

Edit: I might see why. The grad gpa was left over from a copy and paste. I did not attend grad school.

how about half half? gpa 3.6, DAT AA-19

 

[tooth knockn]

What are you trying to make a coffee!


3.6 and a 19 is not near 3.0 and 18

But what ever your half half is, it is acceptable and competitive.

 

[*Garam Masala*]

i think as serious applicants were our own toughest critics...but i hope youre right!

 

[tooth knockn]

Has anybody gotten interviews with out all pre-requisites finished/accomplished?

Or has everyone already completed all pre-reqs and received interview ?

For example:
Someone who will take physics 2 in the fall and biochem in the spring, would this person get an interview if all else is good and competitive?

I have interviews at a couple places where I don't have all the requirements completed. I am planning to take Microbio, Anatomy, Physiology, and possibly psychology if I have time.

Thanks! I had A LOT of volunteer hours because of the mentoring program I was a part of in college that I dedicated myself to. I also had a leadership role in that. Didn't have any postbac work. I was just hopeful my decent DAT would make up for my low science GPA. Good luck to you in this long process!

[MasterDental]

Seriously, congratulations. I am in the same boat as you, I have worked so hard the last few years to make up for my past and I haven't had an interview yet. I have had a 4.0 for the last few semesters and I got a 21 on the DAT (low of 18, high of 24), but my cumulative is low. Posts like this help me stay positive. Thank you and CONGRATS!!!!

Thank you very much. Right now we are playing the waiting and good luck game. It's all about luck with most of schools , because you never know what they are looking for.
