I've concluded from being neurotic and going through mdapps that I'm going to get waitlisted. Everyone with my stats last year got waitlisted and if they were lucky they got accepted in June or something...

Just trying to be realistic. It seems like they offer outright acceptances to stellar people.

anyone else replaying their interview over and over again in their head and progressively feeling worse about it?

Yep. I thought it went really well back in October. But when I go through the "why, God, why haven't they accepted me?", I re-think it. And how my interviewer spent most of the interview asking me why I didn't want a PhD. ARRGH, because I want to be a clinical doctor! AGEOGOVNOVNEOI! I don't even know what he had to tell the committee except "Well, she doesn't want a PhD right now." 😡

BTW, I'm an in-stater, for the recordkeeper 👍
 
amendment to my last post-

waitlisted if i'm lucky...
 
I thought my interview went really well too, we even talked over the 1 hour time allotted. But then again I haven't heard anybody complain that they're interview went badly. VCU seems to be very good at making interviews lax and feel good, which sucks cause I walked out of there very confident.

Good luck, another OOS'r here.

I felt the same way. My interview lasted about 1 hour 15 minutes, and it was a lot of very easy conversation and questions. I felt pretty good about it when I left, but who knows if that really means anything?

Im really frustrated because I had a lot of people tell me that I would get in this year, easy (including the former dean of a medical school). VCU is my top choice out of the schools I've interviewed at, so I can't wait to hear tomorrow. If I don't get in, I don't really know what to do next year. My MCAT score was better than average, and my GPA is solid, though not stellar. I've got 2 waitlists at schools I don't like nearly as much, so hope is not lost, but it's hard to be excited about a waitlist.

Even worse when your interviewer is confident you'll come out with the first batch or acceptances!
 
i don't like status updates that tell me nothing 👎

(especially when i am being so patient and distracting myself from the fact that tomorrow is the day!)

EDIT: well, nothing definitive that is...
 
So i'm supposed to leave for The Shins concert in Boston tomorrow night at 5:30...

Question is...do I wait for the status update and make my friends late for the show at the risk of putting myself in a bad mood for the night?

OR

do i go to the concert on time and check when i get back, at the risk of being in an altered state of mind when i return?

if the status update comes before you have to leave for the concert, check it. otherwise, go to the concert! maybe your status update will come on friday and then you will have the best of both worlds: an enjoyed concert, and an acceptance when you are sober the next day!

both bad news and good news sounds better when you're hopped up on something or another
 
I got an update message today, saying that my application has been placed on hold!
Can anyone tell me if this means anything? They're sending out offers tomorrow and I get this today? Weird!!!

Dont worry, that should happen to everyone eventually after your file has been reviewed. It showed up on mine after 2-3 weeks post-interview, I think. Basically it means they didnt reject you outright, at least that what the Dean told us at our interview.
 
IS here interviewed early Jan and waiting...

great news..there are giving out 80 seats..and there are less than 80 people listed on SDN who have interviewed...we're getting in!!!

if only :-(
 
if only, thatd be reason enough to head down to the bars and celebrate. its 2:21 am anyone else can't sleep besides me?
 
i'm wit you caliboy..i have a physio test on friday tho so i'll be up forever.
 
i hate the week before spring break, have a paper due friday and a test. the only bright side to all of this is that after friday it's st. patty's and i will be off the walls good news or bad
 
if i get in tomorrow..i am getting obliterated..i dont care if i have that physio test friday..and since tomorrow is match day all the med students will be going nuts; apparently its a big deal here and they have some sort of carnival and parade or something like that..i will toast with them that i will be an M-4 one day at MCV 🙂

:scared: :scared: ~11 hours to go!!!:scared: :scared:

I agree with Da....the list we have posted above is the list they should use to start handing out acceptances!

I'll be in class from about 6-9 tonight. I'm hoping I'll know before class starts. Either way, my mind will certainly not be in class with me. 😛
 
AAAAACK! At 5am this morning & where my first thought would normally be "Coffee", it was "12 hours left..."

We have all worked so hard to get to this point in the app. process, and have to remember how much we have already accomplished!

Good luck to everyone :luck:
 
I woke up at 317am (pac time) and stared at the clock a couple of hours. I feel like death warmed over. Just have to entertain myself for the next 6-8 hours...think Im gonna start baking, and just not stop. Hope my family and friends are in the mood for cupcakes and cookies. Good luck everyone!:luck:
 
So, my interview at VCU didnt go to great... The admissions people told me i was going to interview at a different site, unlike everyone else who basically interviewed at the admissions office. They even gave me a map with directions on it. I arrived at the right location 20 minutes before my interview and the guy interviewing me wasnt there. The receptionist told me to be seated and wait. So 10 minutes roll by and i got back up to see if he was in yet.. NOPE. finally another dr. came around and realized why i was there. She texted my interviewer and he was waiting back at the admissions office for me. I was 10 minutes late, and b/c of that my BP was off the chart! I have a sick sense that the admissions office did that to me on purpose!
 
VCU plays DUKE tonight at 7. everyone is predicting an upset. just like how im going to upset VCU SOM and get in! Ohhhhhhh!

Yeah VCU is playing...about 20 minutes away from my house. I hope that's a good omen.

It's kinda weird to think that the committee may be sitting down right now, deciding our futures for us...
 
We must all think positively....

I'm positively thinking I'm going crazy waiting these last several hours.
 
I know I'm so tense- every time my phone rings or anything makes a noise I jump. I check my email compulsively even though I know its not gonna be til 6 or so. Once my status changes I'll probably be too freaked out to actually check it! :luck: :luck: :luck: to us all!
 
k now im confused, have the batches been released at 6 or 5?
 
haha, yeah, this thread is not helping me stay sane either. sending out positive thoughts to everyone on here.
 
With the thought that we all get acceptances this evening, what do you plan to do this summer? Relax, take a few more courses, work like mad to save money, etc.?

My large east coast bound family is taking a trip to San Diego for a couple of weeks, other than that, I'm going to soak in the pool and enjoy the time with family.
 
I refuse to see this thread drop down low on the first page anytime today.

so...bump...
 
hahaha yeah keep it up!

id prolly go to europe or miami. sit on the beach witha cold corona
 
if i get in today im going to book a cruise vacation with my woman. the summer i will be working mixed in with a lot of tennis and beers. cheers.
