FYI all.. Just called and they said they are sending out decisions mid February.... I thought they were going faster?

Me too. Oh well, it will just make the pain more intense.
The pain of waiting....

 

[tacrum43]

It was around that time last year wasn't it? And the AdCom got a little behind this year? Maybe they want to go over so many applicants before they send out the next batch of acceptances. I would bet they set those dates because their goal is to over a certain % of applicants before each round of acceptances and not necessarily to give out acceptances on those dates. I would think that they try to make their decisions out of fairness! 👍 But I have an early Feb interview so I'm happy to hear it. Just ignore this post otherwise!

Mine is early February too. However, I'm thinking even if they don't do the February decisions until 2/15 or so, they won't have gotten to our applications yet.

What day is your interview (if you don't mind saying)?

doh! I thought it was goin' down at the end of January...

 

[goinverted]

I thought this was lost and gone forever! Good ol' inverted brings it back to life. Anyone know the exact day of the next acceptances?

 

[ShyRem]

There's no word yet on their site.

 

[Pewl]

Sorry, I must have missed it, but what was the new date for the next offer day?

 

[cfdavid]

Come on people, just hit that withdrawal button. We're giving out $1000 incentives as well. (well, jbone is, but nevertheless!! lol)

Can anyone confirm mid-February?? Man, this is killing me.

I think that in lieu of his recent desparation he has upped the incentive to $2500, paid in the form of cashier's checks.

Hehe. Oh well. I've come to grips with it. Why kill myself thinking about the next day acceptances come out, when I will invariably remain "On Hold for Action" on that miserable February day.

Having an acceptance already really helps with the coping though 😀

Well, we all benefit from his generosity, so let's just be thankful!

I'll kick in 10 bucks for every 1000 donated by jbone.

After more than 7 months of waiting, I get the VCU secondary yesterday -I was on hold for grades. Yet today, I get into medical school, and a really great one at that. Do you think VCU's screening process is MESSED UP BEYOND BELIEF?!

Needless to say, that's going to be the best $80 I have saved in my life. I think I might buy a round of drinks for everyone tonight when I am out celebrating! Who's in!?

 

[ShyRem]

VCU looks at more than grades - perhaps you were 'borderline' for some of their criteria where grade updates would have been important to them. Being one who got a VCU screened secondary and an early interview, I can't give a reasonable objective opinion about their screening process.

Now my state school, OTOH, hasn't even given me an interview. THAT's messed up. This whole process makes no sense whatsoever. No rhyme nor reason to it, no sense. But seriously, all I want is for VCU to say 'yes' to me. Especially since they're the only interview I've had.

 

[cfdavid]

Can anyone confirm for certain that the next offer date is mid-Feb as opposed to later this month???

You guys are killing me...no really I'm broke.
But the offer to pimp cf is still on the table. (It's friday night, and a damn thang funny...cf better have my money!)
Hell, I'll even throw in inverted for a little 3-way action.
Anyway, shy I'm with ya. Just waiting for the big "YES"
Damn, I'm pathetic. 🙁

Aw jbone, you're grossing me out. No offense inverted, its' just that you're the wrong gender!

Common cf, you know you like it. Bill Clinton (slick willey) never complained.
Yea, inverted gets around. 🙄...you slut.

 

[cfdavid]

Hey all. I just called VCU today, and Kenny confirmed that the next round of offers will be in mid-Feb, versus this month.

So, we still have 3 weeks or so of agony.......

 

[thatgirl 84]

hey, i got that message too. but they ended up changing my status within two weeks. question, did you also apply to uva? i was invited for an interview and the day i was waitlisted, vcu invited me for an interview. weird thing those state schools.

 

[bootz]

I just got the vague status message with the "MAY be unable to interview" line. Geez... 👎

 

[Gentle]

I don't think that's the biggest deal. I interviewed in Nov. and had thesame kind of email. However, 2 days later, I got invited to interview. Just chill and hope, pray for the best.

Thanks Gentle. Right after I sent this message I searched the thread (I was too lazy to look through all 35 pages) and saw that some people had gotten interviews with the same message.

Have you interviewed yet?

Im really hating VCU's system of acceptances...I know its an attempt to try and be fair to those who interview later in the game but my god Im getting tired of waiting. Just put me on the damn waitlist already....

Aye aye, Vizsla. I try to not think of VCU, but the dull ache of not knowing whether or not I should retain hope at this point is driving me INSANE! 😡

vcu is pretty much dead to me and will be if i dont get in this round 😡

 

[madi]

Any updates on the timing of the next set of offers, anyone?!

 

[crazy_cavalier]

Any updates on the timing of the next set of offers, anyone?!

February 15th, 6 PM Eastern time.



(just a guess though 😛 )

 

[madi]

February 15th, 6 PM Eastern time.

For just a split second you had my hopes up, crazy cav!! 😛

 

[crazy_cavalier]

Ah, yes. But I make good guesses, if that's any hope for you 😀

 

[CalBoi82]

Any recent interviewees get any news about the next round?

 

[madi]

It's now officially February 1st...there must be some news coming out way soon..

 

[Em1]

I interview on the 6th- I'll be sure to keep this thread updated with whatever news they tell me!

 

[ShyRem]

VCU is officially my only hope. I don't get it - I get a secondary and interview at VCU, but no love at my state school. Funny thing is, the top two schools on my list were VCU and my state school and if the cost was the same, I would pick VCU.

So PLEEEEEEAAAASSSSEEE, VCU, accept me out of the pool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jon0013]

called them this morning...next round of offers go out sometime this week (before fridays over)....same drill..email status change...

 

[paceac]

[madi]

Don't forget to post acceptances to the thread, everyone!!

Whoa! This is news. An update tonight would be much appreciated. Good luck to everyone waiting!

 

[jon0013]

nah hes not affiliated...i think he just called the school or looked on the website....i went to my status check page and they said end of january and final offers are mid march...

 

[madi]

He probably got it from the FAQ page on the web site. That page says February 1st, but I wouldn't trust it.

 

[Vizsla]

wow..havent looked at this thread in ahwile and now I find out offers might go out @ 6pm today!?!? whatever, even if i dont get in this time, i guess i could always wait some more....

 

[DrKitty]

Yay, I am glad I looked ta this thread. VCU has been a torturous wait. Hope we hear this week

 

[jon0013]

probably....the only reason i suspect its today is because i think the last 2 dates were Wednesdays....i dont know why the lady couldnt just be upfront and such....

 

[cfdavid]

probably....the only reason i suspect its today is because i think the last 2 dates were Wednesdays....i dont know why the lady couldnt just be upfront and such....

jon, but did YOU call and speak to someone there personally????

 

[madi]

the only reason i suspect its today is because i think the last 2 dates were Wednesdays

The update in December was on a Wednesday, and as I've noted from past experience, the personal e-mails regarding interviews and post-interview surveys are usually sent on Wednesdays. But, weren't the October offers made on the weekend?
