**Official Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread 2014-2015**

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Doesn't matter how early or late you interviewed during pre-December. If they want you on the 1st, you'll know. If not, you just have to wait. Hope you hear some good news.
oh okay :/ Thank you soo much!! :)

I've got 3 interviews in the next week and a half, and so far every school has told me that as long as it's before December 1, I will have just as much of a chance of acceptance as those who interviewed in August, September or October.

I do hope that is the case. I have an interview on Nov 21 and I was worried I might not hear back on Dec 1 since there's thanksgiving break in between and whatnot.

I wonder if interviews will slow down over the next couple of weeks due to the holidays and schools starting to review apps for decisions
 
I wonder if interviews will slow down over the next couple of weeks due to the holidays and schools starting to review apps for decisions
due to holidays, winter break, and because they are also wrapping up pre-dec reviews and will resume again come December and January.
I would be surprised if we see a lot more pre-dec interviews.

I got the app complete email August 21. It took a long time to hear from them so I wouldn't worry! Thanks!

Pbl may work great in addition to lectures, but stricktly pbl is not for me. I was impressed by Pitts, great traditional school, huge opportunities.
LECOM does have lectures along with PBL. People on here really have the wrong idea about that program.

so my status for VCU on AADSAS suddenly got updated yesterday

before, it had "application ready for admission committee review, 3 LOR, DAT, GPA received, etc"
yesterday, all that just disappeared and it's saying "applicant complete"

Why sudden change if there had been no change since then? It had always been complete.

I often see people's status change to "application complete" after their interviews...

Mine just switched to Application complete as well, and my application is definitely not complete at that school. It is quite odd.

Okay.... Maybe they should just send me an invite.

Interview #3 at NYU - got the email this morning! I have yet to call, but am assuming based on some recent posts/common sense that it will be a post-december interview, but excited nevertheless

Just interviewed at UTHSC, it was such a unique interview experience. The actual interview itself is only about 10-15 minutes and very relaxed. They don't try to trick you or anything, I was asked about what I do to relax and then majority of the interview was talking about the research that I was involved with :)

I assume I was rejected from Temple. Status changed to: "Please check back on December 1 for more information regarding your decision status with this school"

And so it begins..

That's what my pretty little status for UCSF says after I got rejected:)

lmao aw dang. I haven't gotten any official rejection yet, but judging by the whole no interview offer, there can only be one other option :(

lol..... nothing is for sure! so don't think rejection unless you see "rejection" somewhere.

Have you received your 1st interview? I know you’ve been waiting for a while. Just wondering :happy:

some people start to get invites starting immediately after the first round of invites, and some have to wait longer.
It all just depends..

Just keep praying...

yeah this is what's so f'ed up about this whole app process.
They should have some kind of ranking system that matches applicants up with schools they are most interested in.

western might be the last school I want to attend, and I got an invite, while it is your first choice, but you did not receive an invite.
And I have not gotten an invite from my state school either, this all just seems like a silly game.

but we are just pre-dents..what can we do..

Application can be really tricky. Two people with very similar stats could end up with different results. I don't think such ranking system could exist.
