anyone know when the second set of notifications go out? is it nov. 15th or dec. 15th? *crosses fingers for nov.*

 

[puyk2]

hello!

i applied to VCU back in august with my file being complete in early september (thanks to the delay of my school's evaluating committee) and the website still only says that my file is complete. should i be worried nothing has happened for awhile??

ahhhhh this is all so bad for my complexion.

the second set goes out on dec.15. go to the vcu website and check to FAQ section.

in response to the other post, you may want to contact them. i also completed in early september, but i got a status update in early october... exactly 1 month later.

 

[CalBoi82]

puyk2, I was complete around the same time, I just got this status today. Hang in there, they will get to your application soon.

Unfortunately it's Dec . . . try and look at it this way, there's no use worrying about it, the application process is out of your hands now. Try and relax, everything will turn out ok, I understand this is all easier said than done . . .

Am I missing something? That link you posted has the exact same message.

sorry tacrum and others, I didn't specify.

The first post on that thread that I Linked is exactly like calboi82's message. I was referring to the 7th post down on that link by moomie. Moomie's message was the 3rd message I was referring to.

 

[madi]

Has anyone received a post-interview status update from VCU on a day other than a Wednesday? 😛

I realize that I am obsessing just a bit here, but I noticed that all of my status updates from VCU so far (with the exception of the first one) were on Wednesday afternoons. What I'm really trying to say is...should I keep refreshing my e-mail every 10 minutes today or just let it go ? 😀

several people who got this "3rd message" 1-2 months ago have already gotten interviews.

 

[CalBoi82]

I guess we'll never know which one really is better... it looks like people have been getting interviews with either message. Oh, VCU admissions committee works in such mysterious ways...

 

[jj08]

Well, I am only speculating from all the different posts that I read b/c in reality I never received a vague status update. All I know is that I was passed up for the Oct. acceptances 🙁 and that I have 2 more months of waiting... sigh...

Oh, okay. 🙂

edit: I got the message like Moomie's a while back. I'm hoping for the best.

I was complete 9/1... haven't heard a thing. I just assumed they were busy getting ready for the Oct 15 acceptances. But now I'm really starting to get worried...

Hey tacrum-

I think you have a good shot with mcv/vcu. My buddy, who is an MI there now, interviewed with a gu SMPer on the very last day possible and they both got in. Seems like mcv/vcu likes you guys 🙂 . Good luck!

 

[goinverted]

Here is some hope for those of you who haven't gotten an invite yet. Ihave a 26R and 3.75 gpa and I got a high priority invite (went from complete straight to 'we're happy to invite you to interview') about three weeks ago. Though i wish you all well, I also hope I can get a spot before the rest of you take them.

Well that's good news. I'm not sure how much of a shot I have though being out of state, but I"ll just have to wait and see. Good luck to you, hopefully you'll hear some good news from them in December!

yes! don't worry i'm in the exact same situation. but at least we have not been rejected yet! (some have been.)

 

[madi]

Has anyone who interviewed in the first week of October heard anything back from the adcom yet?

 

[LT2]

i was wondering the same thing. i interviewed the first week and haven't heard a peep (or anything else for that matter).

 

[scneuro]

i was wondering the same thing. i interviewed the first week and haven't heard a peep (or anything else for that matter).

same with me, I haven't heard anything and I just got the survey yesterday. I thought that was supposed to come like the day after you interview not 2 weeks later...hmmmmmm

 

[jj08]

Really? They rejected some applicants post-interview already?

When did you interview, puyk2? I had a feeling I wasn't going to be one of the lucky 20 that received acceptances on Oct. 15th. Here's to keeping the hope alive ...

 

[LT2]

same with me, I haven't heard anything and I just got the survey yesterday. I thought that was supposed to come like the day after you interview not 2 weeks later...hmmmmmm

just kidding, i just received the "you're on hold until a later date" update... phew!

 

[madi]

just kidding, i just received the "you're on hold until a later date" update... phew!

Yea! Me too! It arrived at precisely 6:02pm, after I had spent the entire day at work hitting refresh on my e-mail every 10 mins until 5pm, when I gave up and went home. Argh.

 

[Orth2006]

Has any out of state applicant to VCU either gotten the "hold for acceptance" update(post-interview) or actually gotten an acceptance. Seems every one so far is in-state.

i am OOS and have received the "hold for acceptance" update. hope that helps...

Hey Orth2006-

I think all of the accepted applicants, thus far, on sdn have been in-state. The rest of us are just hoping and waiting until the December acceptances roll out. So don't worry one way or the other. 🙂

 

[sgrnspc]

sadness... i just got a status update only to find out that i was rejected post-interview

i wish i never had the interview to begin with...

now i remember exactly why i hate this process--who in the world is crazy enough to subject themselves to this pain and anguish...

if it doesn't work out this cycle, i honestly quit--this is not worth it 👎

Wierd... why is UVA letting in all out of state and VCU all instate...so confusing!!! 🙁

Don't stress it- Its hella early. If everything goes south this cycle you'll still have time to go to ROSS and get your MD that way.

I got VCU next week, and yeah it does suck to hear that you got rejected, but hey- it could happen to any of us... I may be here in a couple of weeks b*tchin' my post-interview rejection, but I ain't givin' up.

If you are good enough to have alread had an interview in October, then things are looking good.

 

[ShyRem]

I'm OOS and got the "hold for action at a later date" post-interview status. Is this different than the "hold for acceptance" status? Or are they the same?

I think they are one in the same, ShyRem therefore you're fine. 🙂

sgrnspc-

I know it must suck right now but imagine being passed over for all the acceptances and then being placed on the waitlist only to be rejected at the very end. Now that, my friend, sucked a major moldy peach. You've still have more interviews coming your way! This is not the end for you! 🙂

well it sucks if you have NO interviews yet,.

 

[CalBoi82]

Referring back to the debate of whether the admissions committee is "interested in your candidacy" is good or bad (10/17), I just got the invitation to VCU to interview... so this probably can't be too bad.

 

[LT2]

when did you interview LT2 and when did you receive the survey w/reference to your interview?

i received the survey 10/10 and i interviewed 10/3... hope that helps!

 

[JTHURMA]

I've read over a lot of your interview experiences at VCU. Anyone have any last minute tips? I had an interview today and usually I just shoot from the hip, but I get a feeling that I may need to prepare a little for VCU, and I have the interview there on Monday. Any last minute tips would be appreciated.

Also, good luck for all of you waiting on word.

Just hope you dont have the same interviewer I had.

Well.... here's for hoping!

Your interview probably wasn't that bad. Good luck!

Hey

 

[goinverted]

Time to ressurect VCU central, anyone with new news? I have my interview on the 14th. Does anyone know if there are students who have volunteered to host?

i stayed with a student (she graduated from the school i'm currently attending so circumstances were a bit different). i would contact student services, i would think there are student hosts! good luck with your interview...

 

[cfdavid]

Personally, I think it's worth it to just pay for a hotel room. That way you have piece of mind, and can gather your thoughts the night before. It works better for me that way, when I can kind of "prepare" mentally.

I know how expensive these trips can be, but you can find a decent hotel for $50-60.

 

[paceac]

VCU provides you a list of people who are willing to host interviewees. On the page that gives you the information about the interview there is a link in the text for a list of hosts. I have an interview on the 9th but decided to stay at a hotel.

Wait, my interview is in November. Does that mean I'm not as good as the October people?? =P

Anyone else have last minute tips for VCU? I live in California and I honestly know next to NOTHING about the school or if it's even any good. Heh, someone help me out here!

Spend some time on their website. It's full of good information.
I interviewed there earlier in the month (it feels like several months ago, though), and I REALLY like the school.

But, just do some research before the interview and you'll be fine. They DO want to know, why VCU? Especially for out of staters. Good luck.

 

[goinverted]

so why have you out of staters chosen to apply to VCU?

 

[tacrum43]

so why have you out of staters chosen to apply to VCU?

I'm from California.

 

[tank you]

so why have you out of staters chosen to apply to VCU?

i applied to it bc of its average gpa, which seemed lower than some other schools, so i figured i might have a better chance here.

 

[tank you]

I'm from California.

yes, well said. 🙂

 

[LT2]

I'm from California.

very well said; however, you should have a better answer for the interviewer who asks you the same question!!! 🙄
