rejection

For those in a similar situation, or reapplicants who have experienced this before, what does it mean to not hear back from schools today? In cases like mine where GPA isn't all that impressive, is "no news good news?" Or is it essentially a rejection? I woke up at 6:30am like most of you...

Hi there I'm a Texas resident who applied to the three Texas schools and interviewed in August. At the time of applying and Interviewing my GPA was a 3.81 Overall, and a 3.76 BCPM, paired with a 21AA and a high PAT. After slacking off a bit in my summer coursework, as well as this semester...

Hey everyone, you have probably seen me around here lately. Unfortunately I have only got 1 interview invite (at UNLV) so far and that is set for January.. so it's not looking too great for me. I'm trying to stay positive and am hoping that I will do well on that interview and maybe even get...

I've been looking at class photos from some schools and I have this growing paranoia that, when all else is near-equal, there's a "beauty pageant" component in the AdCom's decisions; either subconscious bias, or voluntary to maintain the school's appearance. "I have a 3.98 GPA, 524 MCAT with...

So I know most schools say that you can't ask them why they rejected you until the end of the app cycle...but does anyone know of any earlier exceptions/instances where people found out early? Related to that, is it okay to ask a school why they accepted you? Just curious!

Hello Everyone, I've been applying to medical school for the past two years now, and, unfortunately, I have yet to be accepted anywhere. This is a very long post, so thank you to anyone that reads it. If I can get any help or advice from anyone out there, it would be much appreciated. First...

Yay first post! So I repeated/am repeating my 6th course now. :dead: Just because I was blinded by my Uni's "we take the higher grade in your GPA calc, and the first attempt shows as No Credit Retained on your transcript" policy. Somehow I figured it's better this way...:smack: I'm actually...

Is it more common to get notified of a rejection a month or two after your secondary is complete or is it more common to get a silent rejection until March/when classes start? I'm just curious.

How do you get accepted? Is it by phone, email or mail? How do you get rejected? Is it by phone, email or mail? Edit: All above questions are assuming after interview I'm assuming each varies by school but which one is more often? Thank you

I had the privilege to interview at one of the best osteopathic programs in the country this cycle, and last. (for obvious reasons I won’t name the school) The outcome of this process has left me with a lot of considerations regarding the process of applying to medical school. Last cycle I was...

“Dear Incredibly Hard Working Pre-Med and Hopeful Doctor, Our admissions committee has met, and we regret to inform you that you were not selected as a student for our entering class. There were many qualified blah blah blah...” Ouch. I worked hard I shadowed. I volunteered. My GPA was...

I was waitlisted to both SUNY Downstate and Kean University and I'm wondering if anyone is in the same position as me. Does anyone know of people who got off the waitlist? If so, around when were they notified. Good luck to all, and thank you!

Any ideas what no acceptance/no rejection/no waitlist after an interview means at this stage of the application cycle? Similarly, any ideas what no interview invite/no rejection means at this stage of the cycle? I've read on here that some of the schools have already concluded interviews so I...

Hi all, I was looking for a thread for the SUNY Downstate Physical Therapy for June 2016 and couldn't find one other than the occupational therapy thread. It's the first day of April and I haven't heard anything from Downstate. I was wondering about anyone else that has been interviewed...

Its February and I still have not received any interviews.. I have 5 rejections waiting on 7 more schools.. Do you think I should give up and start looking into post bac?

Greetings, I'm reading the different threads, trying to determine my personal chances as well and looking for those statements that confirm my fears: the GRE and research experience really are determining factors when looking to get into a PHD program. I realize that's simplistic, but out of...

Being the bearer of bad news is not fun and being the recipient is even worse. Which schools have the nicest way of saying, "sorry, but you haven't been admitted"? What did you most like about the letter?

For some 'tis the season for hearing good admissions news; but for others, this holiday season may be more grim. If you've received a rejection letter from your target school (or – sigh – from all your target schools), then you may be feeling more Grinch and less glee this season. It's hard to...

Hi guys, does anyone know how many people are on the alternate status approximately? If anyone who is accepted and is deciding to join some other university can you please post here, so we can get an idea. Please post here if you are on alternate/ declining alternate or acceptance. thanks...

Hello everyone! I was just wondering if anyone has heard back from The U following their interview? I am so anxious to hear back from them, but it seems from past threads the earliest people hear back is around January and as late as March. Good luck to the rest of you fellow applicants!

Hey guys! I've been lurking around for a while but was never really active, until I realized how much I rely on sdn for my neurotic med student tendencies, and how how our Obgyn thread is regrettably not full of as much up to date information as other threads!! Either post yourselves or PM me...
