I got rejected today too... 28, 3.7 (undergrad) 4.0 (graduate). I was really looking forward to this school as well. What a bummer.
Good luck everyone!
Good luck everyone!
See you there. I'll be interviewing with you on the same day (saw it on II thread).Crazy I just check too, and there was nothing there, five minutes later bamm!!! II. Congrats to all who got invites this first round. Look forward to meeting some of you soon!
Sounds good. Looking forward to it!See you there. I'll be interviewing with you on the same day (saw it on II thread).
Hey guys! Excited to get an ii and I'm planning to come to campus on 9/16!! Anyone else?
So I'm flying into Denver from Kansas City just for the day (arrive at 8am leave at 8:30pm...yikes) but am having no luck finding shuttles or rental cars that aren't upwards of $70-80. Anyone else doing something similar and want to save money splitting a shuttle or rental car? People keep saying this Red Lion shuttle but idk if I can use it if I'm not actually staying at the hotel....
BTW for others interested, 29 mcat, 3.8 overall, 3.6 science a little non-traditional in that I majored in Spanish in college while taking all the pre-med classes.

Hey erebear6,
My II is for the 15th. I rented a car for the weekend for $130, but my friends who lived in Denver suggested that I use car2go if I wanted to save money. It's a smartcar sharing service kind of like a rental bike service. Maybe check that out if you want ot save money?
Good luck! I am super excited to interview here as well. It's my 1st choice school, and this early in the app cycle I would love to kick back a little and relax.
Let me ask the all neurotic question, when were you marked complete?

If you are under 25 renting a car is going to be more expensive. If you're 25+ I found rental cars for <$40. Usually rental car places tack on $20-$30/day for people who are under 25, but not all do. In order to use the Red Lion shuttle you have to be staying at the hotel. Since you're not staying overnight $50 for a rental car is getting by pretty cheaply!
Again, not sure if you guys are under 25, if so, expect to pay a bit more. I am not sure how you're paying $400 for 2 days, I've used numerous rental places and the only one that you absolutely should avoid is Advantage rental car, they suck, every other one I've used has been fine. Payless, which is a national rental company has a 2 day rental for $70 total. To me, $330 is a lot of money. Also, that wasn't even searching with discounts or last minute deals...
Another option is to do a super shuttle especially if it's only for a day... that would be $40...
I think if the "withdraw" button isnt gone..you're still in the running...I have been complete at rvu since July 17 and all my portal says is File Complete under the Applicant--> default page tab. Am I missing something that shows if I am rejected or anything else?
You can always write a very professional letter asking for reconsideration. In that letter you need to include why RVU is so appealing to you and why you would make a good candidate. Also one page max.I applied to RVU last year and was rejected after secondary. I called admissions and talked about why they rejected me, then asked what I could do to be more competitive. I took their advice and got offered an II. It's possible to improve a few grades or an MCAT score, or the quality of your essays, your ECs for next cycle.
You can defiintely work with RVU to see what you can do for next year, but they're a school that doesn't offer a lot of IIs relative to their acceptances, so I doubt they will change their mind for this year.
Good luck!
I'm sorry, but no. No matter how carefully you word it, you will come off as entitled and presumptuous.I have always wondered, can you get a school to un-reject you? Perhaps maybe to call the school and to find out why you were rejected and then send them updates if those things were improved recently, asking them for reconsideration? Do people do that?

I got the axe today but have been in touch with admissions since July. I am currently in a masters at KCUMB and the admissions coordinator said if I got waitlisted or rejected that I can send in an update of my semester grades to be reconsidered. I have it in a previous email but don't want to email her back and mention it so I don't sound desperate.If you have already been rejected, while highly unlikely, it is possible to be unrejected. It just doesn't happen very often, but remember a school can do what their admin feels is right. Most likely you can improve and reapply if you're unsuccessful anywhere else...
If they give you feedback of where to improve, and you make significant improvement in those areas, it shows commitment and ability to follow directions. I'm a reapplicant to two schools this year and for one of the two I received specific feedback. I've improved in 6 of the seven (very picky) areas and I feel confident that I'll get accepted.I thought being a re applicant was the kiss of death at a school that previously rejected you .. no?

That is my situation as well. I am a re-applicant as well. Last time I was on of the last interview dates. Did not get in because of some mistakes in my application, a little nervous with the interview (which was stupid) and didn't document my ECs well. I asked for a reconsideration and again was denied but they offered to go over my application to make it stronger for this round. This round II on the first day, and have meet and completed all the items that I needed to do to make my application stronger. It also helped with my other applications as well because I have two other first round II and my stats still are on the low end. So those of you that got denials, hang in there. Contact the school and work with people to make your application stronger next round.Absolutely not. You will want to address the steps you have taken to strengthen your application from the previous cycle and reaffirm your interest in attending the school.
Hampton in Parker for me.To those of you interviewing, are you all staying at Red Lion Inn or with a student?
I am a student host, and have had several students stay with me, always willing to host if you can get yourself to my house!To those of you interviewing, are you all staying at Red Lion Inn or with a student?
