rough week.

3 rejections: UMich, UK, Rutgers.

oh well.

Members don't see this ad.
 
Same with Rutgers. I poured my heart and soul into that school in undergrad. Their admissions process is demoralizing. (Not angry at all)

Rutgers said no to me too ... Keep the faith - we can only attend one school anyway so all we need is one acceptance!

5 rejections, 9 are still silent. Not really sure why since I applied beginning of June and was in either the 1st or 2nd batch. :/

Thanks, but all it really takes is a stubborn wife who refuses to move. I told her it is not a great strategy, her reply was "well you better get in at OHSU then!"

So long as you don't have a rejection you have a chance. I know quite a few of us received rejections from Western about a week or two ago. Mine app was under review for 4 months.

Interview #5
School: LECOM
Notification date: 1/28
Method of notification: email
Residency: VA
AADSAS mail-out date: 9-5
Application complete date: 9 -5
GPA (science, overall) 3.4 ish both
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 24, 24, 23, 17


I just got bored at work yesterday, started emailing silents schools and asked about the status of my application.
Lecom in particular, has been saying one of my letter was missing on their portal (not aadsas), I told them that a new letter has been sent a while ago and please have someone check on it.

Lo and behold, I got an interview invitation email while I was in my class today.

Pretty surprised that they sent me the interview the next day. I guess for some schools at least, emailing them and inquiring about the status can help you get the interview, or at least remind them that you are still interested.
I am not saying it is helpful for every school because I have received generic "please wait patiently for the committee to make the decision" messages from several institutions, but LECOM an NYU responded almost immediately with interview invites after an email and a phone call, respectively.

Is it common to have no response after interview? Western has not spoken a word to me.

Also, I do not know why all other schools are not giving any response yet.

just another Super late update but here it is:

Interviewed Pre-Dec: Western, NYU

Accepted: not yet : b

Waitlist: NYU...

Rejections: UCSF, Stony Brook, Loma Linda, Harvard, Upenn : (

ALL other schools: still says under review/application received

GPA (science, overall): 3.2, 3.2 (post-bacc GPA: 3.6+ but did not do much)
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 23/23/24/24/No
 
Silence since June from NYU, BU, Tufts, Western, Roseman, Creighton, Columbia, Buffalo (continuing review), Temple.

Well I was placed on buffalo cont review in Oct and under review from roseman in September.

Safe to assume these are rejections?
