I'd have to assume that a large portion will be OOS as well seeing that they skimped us the last few times. 😳
actually this is not true...I'm a dork. 😉tacrum43 said:Because all of us VCU waiters are just awesome, social people. If you were awesome like us, you would have already known that. Geez! 😉

Nas23 said:I got the following update this morning: "Your application is being placed on hold for action at a later date"
So I'm assuming, the admissions committee has calculated my points on the range of 1 through 5? And, it's just a waiting game from here on out?
blee said:Good luck to all of you waiting for March decisions. 🙂 As for me, I've narrowed down my own decision to VCU vs. Georgetown, and it's a big complicated mess of a situation. Still, I would say there's a 51% chance that I'll be joining everyone else in Richmond this August.
Vizsla said:yeah, so basically ure waiting with the rest of us for March 20.
Nas23 said:I know when I went to my interview, Dr. H said they ended up interviewing more people than usual this year. She said since the applicants have become more competitive over the past years. That a 2.1 - 2.3? was typically the cream of the crop, but now that is around what it takes to get in. Applicants, in years past who had a 3.0 would have gotten in, but now that is iffy. Which means that more people will be rejected. I do know know at what stage these rejections will occur. Is it during the waitlist, or right up front?
I guess let the countdown begin...
Good luck to all of us!

goinverted said:Yeah, I'm just procrastinating reading a book for my Med. Anthro. class. We have a midterm tomorrow so I should probably at least try to finish the last couple hundred pages.......nah there's no chance.
Vizsla said:last couple HUNDRED!? hahaha ...med anthro, it has the possibility of being slightly interesting
Vizsla said:i had the wierdest dream last night that a bald eagle was attacking the city...ahhh, I love Nyquil
Vizsla said:what the hell is wrong with this page?! wont it end already!? i guess my posts are too short...ive always been a man of few words...of course, this could be due to the fact that I only know a few words
goinverted said:Yeah, it is about the 'Hmong' and their experiences with the US health care system after they left Thailand. It's called "The spirit catches you and you fall down." It is actually very interesting.
Vizsla said:Oh ive heard of that somewhere..prob on these forums. who are the Hmong?
goinverted said:We could always start posting in foreign languages like Bone does. Do you know any??
goinverted said:Tu as gange, tant pis pour moi!!!
Vizsla said:I DID IT!!!!!! my god!! this feels better than actually getting accepted!! I want to begin by thanking the academy...
goinverted said:Come on you can't have a good award acceptance without thanking those who inspired your impecibale posting skills.
Vizsla said:...I would also like to thank Inverted, for the vision, for the words...
goinverted said:If you could see me in the audience you would see my great grandfathers old hankerchief drying my eyes. Thanks, Visla, amidst all the anguish of waiting for an acceptance you have managed yet again to bring tears to my eyes.
Anyways, I really better read a little.
blee said:if they charged people to post here...
Vizsla said:i had the wierdest dream last night that a bald eagle was attacking the city...ahhh, I love Nyquil
goinverted said:I swear that Dr. H said if you were interviewing and were and out of stater then you had around a 60% chance of getting in, maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I recall.
Nas23 said:I so hope you are right. I'll take those %'s
Nas23 said:From the MSAR numbers someone posted from last year, it seemed like you had 50-55% chance of getting in. Dr. H said they interviewed about 200 more people this year. I just assumed it was OOS, and would play the percentages that way... meaning the chance of getting in dropped to about 1/3.
Someone mentioed earlier that 90 acceptances are going out in March. I think Dr. H told my interview group it was about 45. I think they sent out like 80 acceptances in Dec?
Nas23 said:I felt the initial status update indicated a rejection or wait for the next update. On March 20th, will more rejections be handed out? Or is that update provide two outcomes: an acceptance or waitlist?
FDoRoML said:I'm trying so hard to ignore this thread and immerse myself in my work. It's just a reminder of the waiting that still remains... but, this thread is like some kind of drug... can't.... kick... the habit!

Seriously, I check on the VCU website every day (errrr... at least twice!) to see if they've posted a message about the impending decision day. I know, that's a really sad thing to confess. <g>
I'm deciding between VCU and one other school which has already said "Yes" (I dropped all of my other acceptances for those out there waiting anxiously!). Of course, VCU could decide it FOR me with a flat out NO.... but rest assured to all of you that i will probably withdraw if they wiatlist me. I'm a non-trad who's quitting a job and dragging along a husband, so the sooner I settle on a school, the sooner we find job/housing/etc.
Good luck to all!!!!!
