Did anyone who interviewed during the week of October 3rd get a rejection/on hold for acceptance notice yet?
Thanks, but don't be envious. 🙂 You guys are all in good shape as well.jj08 said:congrats blee! I knew you would be hearing good news!
I'm so envious! 😀
Dakota said:Thought you guys would want to know I got my first acceptance as well . . . it's really exciting knowing that I'll get to be a doctor . . . best of luck to everyone here, hope each of you get to know what this feels like.
Blee, I imagine our paths will cross some day. The story is all to similar. I was lucky enough to get in to VCU myself. Good luck to everyone else.blee said:Thanks guys. 🙂 Remember, there weren't many acceptances this round, and it's WAY early in the process. You've all got at least five months before the class is filled, so don't worry if you didn't get good news today!

jj08 said:First off, welcome to sdn and this thread 😀
Secondly, you must be from California.
The Harry Potter question is only asked by a specific interviewer, Dr. Brooks (sp). It is not a standard question asked by all interviewers. I think it is used as a conversational piece but at the same time this particular interviewer is very interested in your answer simply b/c he is a fan.

Nah. I doubt he'll care. Dr. Brooks is a great guy, BTW; he's a true southern gentleman in the classic sense. If this were 100 years ago, I'd expect to see him in a white suit and hat with a mint julep perched on his desk. As it is, he struck me as an unpretentious man with genuine concern for the interviewee. He might be retired, BTW, but he's still sharp as a tack. I really enjoyed my interview with him, and apparently the feeling was mutual.jj08 said:yikes 😱 ! I better edit!

Dakota said:It would be hard for me to plead a case as anything but Virginian . . . I've lived here for 14 years . . . and I still say hella (certainly not ya'll or hecka . . . heckuva (heck-uh-va) perhaps . . .). So I wouldn't worry too much crzyemeni. I def didn't have a Harry Potter question either . . . so I wouldn't worry about that too much either. I'll be in cali this week (USC on Fri) so I'll have to try to drop any southern pretense . . . or perhaps it will add to diversity . . . anyway, good luck again.
Orth2006 said:...if I rememeber correctly from what we were told on the interview day, out of state students may not start getting acceptances till prolly the second batch. At least most of them prolly wont. Does anyone remember something like that or was it the dream I had last night. 😀
Yes, like everywhere else. At least, as long as Dr. Heldberg was telling us the truth...chattkis said:Why do they make it sound like if I send in this $100 then I am saying I WILL go to VCU...? I will just be "holding" a spot, correct??
Guys, I got this vague message on 8/22 and got an interview invite today. Just want everyone to know VCU means it when they say they are considering your file further. Good luck to everyone.air1289 said:VCU just updated my status with:
The committee's file review indicates that they would like to consider your file further. We are now in the process of scheduling interviews and will continue to do so through February. Unfortunately, the committee indicates interest in far more candidates than we are able to interview.Since we are dependent on the Committee member's schedules for interview spaces, we are unable to predict when or if we will be able to schedule you this year. Please continue to check this site to learn when further action has been taken.
Is this their way of "nicely" saying, "tough luck"

CalBoi82 said:I just got this update today... is this the middle or bad status?
"The committee's file review indicates that they are interested in your candidacy. However, due to the increase in the applicant pool this year, it is clear we MAY be unable to interview all the candidates at your priority score. If we do find that we are able to grant an interview you will be notified by e-mail."
Thanks!
dmtang2 said:sorry man, i think you got the 3rd status. there were 3 statuses that went out. the first one actually said that the applicant was high priority and just waiting for an interview slot. the 2nd status could be seen here (scroll up) and said that the applicant's file could be reviewed further. i think you got the 3rd status. what were your stats, btw?
jj08 said:no, I don't think Calboi82 got the third status. The third went something like this... (found this on an older thread http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=229287&highlight=vcu )
