They usually fill about 2/3 of the out-of-state and 1/3 in state on Dec 1 (as the still are interviewing till mid Dec), but around beginning of Jan the start to send out more offers, by beginning of Feb a wait list will be compiled and ranked. The wait list moves quite a bit so don't get discouraged! At this point your isis will probably not change until you are contacted by the school via phone call or email if you are accepted.

Still waiting here too but didn't interview until the week before Dec 1. Haven't heard from many people on here about getting into Iowa though. Surprised since they told us we would be included in the Dec 1 decisions, but hoping this doesn't mean I have a rejection letter coming snail mail.
Where is this info coming from and where are the 1/3?
I heard that the committee will again be meeting the middle of december, so hopefully there will be at least one more round of acceptances before we all own some other school money in January.
It's not pass/fail. I believe they rank students - but it's a somewhat arbitrary ranking process (from what I recall).
Let's go Hawkeyes!! I'm cheering for you! Need some OOS luck in here.
I was accepted on December 1st.

I'm getting anxious as well. Do they normally have a middle-of-the-month meeting?
I tried calling Elaine to see if any acceptances have been given out since Dec 1, but got her recorded message instead. It said to hurry up and wait because she will be out of her office until next Tuesday the 28th.😱
Hey Moonie87, when is your interview by the way? Are you in-state or OOS?
Hey Moonie87, when is your interview by the way? Are you in-state or OOS?
I guess I can stop checking ISIS until the 28th. Thanks for calling!
Thanks! I was going to call tomorrow. I can finally stop checking ISIS until next week 😀
Good luck everyone!
Don't know if this helps or not...I interviewed in september and I emailed Elaine earlier this month. She told me for iowa residents that they accepted approximately half of their in-state students with many still under review. She then said that the admissions committee would be reviewing applications and sending out more acceptances "later this month"...so maybe later is next week?
Moonie87 posted above that he or she has an interview on the 14th of January, the last interview date.
Do you know if Iowa has stopped interviewing?
That's strange how my reply, that is quoting you, shows that I posted a little over half a day earlier.
Wow! That is quite strange. Thanks for the response though - I asked because I didn't see anyone with an interview after Dec. on PreDents.com.

Anyone heard anything? Talked to anyone?
I did talk with Elaine via email this week. I am in-state...she said there are still spots available...no plan to meet with the committee this week...more acceptances to be sent out in January....they are killing me!
Thanks for the info, did she mention how many spots are left? Or anything like that....
There were some acceptances and rejections sent out on the 27th according predents. oledss, did you ask about OOS?
Her email was pretty vague. She told me in the beginning of December that they offered acceptances to approximately half the class....but did not say this time.
I asked her in general, but since she knows that I am IS her reply might just be for Iowa residents. So....not sure?
Well I guess it doesn't matter how many seats are available, each of us only needs one. The December 31st deadline for first round deposits has passed, so hopefully we will hear the good news soon!
Do you have any knowledge of out-of-state spots? I assume if I haven't been rejected yet that should give me reason to hope but maybe not.
Sorry no I dont know about OOS, they roll over a lot faster than in state, so its hard to keep up, the meetings and interview still applies. Also wanted to say that those accepted late, ie 27th of Dec. they pay period for their spot has not expired yet either, so the 12 may go down even more before a meeting even happens.
Thanks for the info...Do you know when they will meet next? I'm still hoping for the best
Oh great, I'll probably end up being a male nurse now. Thanks a lot Iowa. 🙂

Gable, you wouldn't happen to know when the meetings are scheduled for, would you?
Sorry they are very secretive about this, however they did have one today, I only know because I ran into a few people that aren't normally in the building.... there will be more acceptances coming out friday. The other two meetings I would guess would be after the interview happening on the 14th. But not for sure. Hope this helps, best of luck!!!
just a quick question. Does ISIS immediately update being denied acceptance, or do they send a letter saying this and eventually update ISIS? I check ISIS everyday and just don't want there to be a letter waiting in my mail box with the bad news. I guess what I really want to know is, if I was denied with the Dec. 27th batch, would my ISIS be telling me this?
