Has anyone gotten off of the waitlist, yet???
Wont hurt and in the very rare event of a perfect tie, may help. They'll put the letter on file.
I did it when I was waitlisted last year.
hey instatewaiter, thanks for the reply. did you send out your update letter to the dean of admissions? snail mail or email? thanks!
Is anyone else worried because the waitlist hasn't moved yet? I'm hoping this is not an indicator of how much it is going to move.

Compared to last year, didn't they really interview less people
Yeah it was around 950 last year and 650 (normal amt) this year. You would think that this would make the waitlist move faster but I have heard they recieved an extra thousand applicants this year, so who knows...
So did anyone ever hear any reason for why MCV mangled letting us know on March 15th. And what was up with all the spelling and gramatical errors that were in the post on their website that day? I got the biggest kick out of them thanking us for our "patients" while they sorted things out. Very professional of a professional school. . .
Instatewaiter were you on MCV's waitlist last year as well and didn't make it in? Sounds like torture! Good luck to you and everyone else this year!!!
Yeah I am a first year this year. Let me tell you, waiting was absolute torture eventhough I interviewed pretty late and got in on may 15th.
I really feel for you guys who interviewed in september/october and are still waiting to hear.
Yeah that is pretty funny about the typo, especially since it is a med school. Thank you for your patients... that is pretty funny... wonder if someone in the admissions office was having a laugh at everyone's expense.
So what are everyone's plans for the summer?
I think the positive and negative attributes of EVMS and MCV are fairly equal. I have friends at both schools and I am also on the waitlist for both. MCV has more opportunities for research and the new dean is emphasizing research and funding it heavily. They both emphasize early clinical skills but I believe EVMS has a better system for that with the trained actors they use as patients. MCV has a better anatomy lab. Norfolk's traffic is terrible!!! Richmond has great restaurants. MCV's parking situation sucks. Pay $2 everyday to walk up several blocks uphill compared to a free parking deck right next door to EVMS. All in all, most feedback I've gotten from my experienced friends is they're both great schools and to go where it feels right.
nka, do you know how he or she was notified? Email/status update, snail mail, phone call...?
Sorry, I didn't ask. I assumed it was a status page update, because it seems like this is the only way people were notified in past years.
but I believe EVMS has a better system for that with the trained actors they use as patients.
For summer I was planning on doing some medically related traveling to india but my plans fell through and I will either be going to Central America instead or be stuck doing research...[/QUOTE said:Instatewaiter, is your trip to Central America (or the one you were going to do in india) coordinated through MCV or are you organizing it yourself? Just trying to get a feel for the availability of international experience. Thanks!
r we gonna hear may15th? i wonder how many ppl will email dr wc that day...
