But they are kind of confused with my case- received secondary, they requested residency long form, then they gave me an interview, then they said I was OOS, then I appealed residency. 5 months post-secondary and 3 months post-interview, they are holding my residency hearing.

I'm post-interview if that helps and got the active consideration email.

i'm post-interview too, i think i just read this wrong

Hum. I am OOS and completed my secondary since Sept. I never got the "active consideration" email. I called them last week and they told me that a final decision is made but I still have not received anything. this is so confusing..

and thought that (s)he had received the limbo interview pre-interview. i think the email just went out to people who have interviewed, and for whom the 6-8 weeks after the interview have passed (I'm on week #12! 😳 ) and are wondering what's going on...
 
i am with the poster that said that the committee prob reviewed our apps and decided not to accept or reject.... which is frustrating. i am surprised mine came up this week. esp. if there are people who haven't heard anything in 11 weeks. did those posters get something like this? i guess i am just glad its not a reject so far. does anyone know what the past experience with this "hold" list is? waitlist? late rejection? maybe too hopeful.. but an acceptance later?
 
I called the admissions office and they told me that the system is supposed to automatically generate this e-mail after the 6-8 weeks. I'm on week 11-12 and hadn't heard anything, so I called and she was like, didn't you get an e-mail??? and I said... no....

So... I don't think the e-mail corresponds with when your file was reviewed by the adcom

We have been hearing all along that the 6-8 weeks really does not apply to everyone and a large number of people don't hear anything until the spring... as much as that stinks it does mean that those of us in limbo aren't out of the picture yet.

Nice of them to say "do not despair" isn't it? Newsflash: If you're getting the e-mail, you are way past the point of despair. haha.
 
i think it is generated by the system b/c although the letter is from Axalla Hoole, the email address is the UNC listserv, so that seems consistent. i guess we're still possibilities, but i don't like the sound of waiting till 'spring' (when exactly is that?).

I didn't get that email either. 😕 But, I never got the original email telling me they had received my primary from AMCAS. I saw on sdn that people had started getting the email (back in August) so I called. They had to send it to me while I was on the phone with them. Weird.
I got so nervous the other day that I called to make sure I didn't miss anything and they said that the committee had not yet made a decision - so my stress level went from over 10 to about 7. But, I am definitely afraid of my mailbox at this point!
 
They told me over the phone but they started sending out the rejection snail mail today.
 
So you're telling me I have to be extra-terrified of my mailbox today and tomorrow then?? Ahhh!

Isn't this fun???
 
anyone have any idea how people who got the 'do not despair' letter last year fared? acceptance, waitlist, rejection?

I could be wrong..but I don't think there is any correlation. I got the famous DND (not DNR) letter and eventually got rejected. I know people who got the letter and got waitlisted too. Not sure about accepted people.

I am certain this email means absolutely nothing about your application other than it's been a while since you interviewed. At my interview, we were told we would receive the email after 6-8 weeks. We were also told that it often takes a while to get a decision. I know a number of people who were either accepted or waitlisted who waited several weeks. The subcommittees choose who to present at the main meeting, so it can take a while to float to the top.

Do not despair. The only point of the email is to let you know that you have not been forgotten.
 
Hey guys...I check this forum once in a while just to make sure you guys don't get toooooo down (I know, UNC admissions and the waiting game can be a pain). Just to let you know I got the Do Not Despair letter and actually got in 4-5 days later...MOST people who get accepted got the DND letter first I think, so no worries....good luck
 
Thanks for the above post 🙂 The do not despair letter worried me a little. Here's to another Monday......
 
This is an off Monday, right... no calls today?

Are they still having meetings @ UNC after they sent that "do not despair" letter out or will they wait now to meet until the spring? And weren't UNC's meetings every other Monday? (that would make this an off-Monday).
 
Yes, they are off today. They will meet again on Feb 5th. However, I believe today they(sub committees) might meet to decide if they will offer an interview for those 'on hold' that have not received a secondary app yet. They have to send out the last invites soon because they stop interviewing by the end of February. Let's hope for good news. 👍 🙂

Here's one for the books. I called UNC to check on my status. I was told they decided not to offer me an interview this year even though they did last year (this is my third time applying). I was pretty surprised because I had done nothing but improve my application. I finished a Masters in Human Genetics from Tulane with nearly a 4.0 and then did the Anatomy Certification Program (ACP) at Tulane with A's in both Anatomy and Histology. I told Mrs. Alston that I was surprised because I had done so much, here's the kicker, she tells me that I only did 20 hours of graduate work since my last application when in reality I did a 40 hour Masters and the ACP. Well, I was shocked. Here's what happened. Since I was at Tulane, the program did not finish until the end of June because of Katrina delays. I submitted AMCAS in early June so listed my remaining courses as "in progress" and followed up with my final transcript when they were finished. Well they never looked at the additional transcript because it wasn't on AMCAS. Then my grades for the ACP were never looked at because they came in the form of a letter from the program director, which was seen as a recommendation letter and not looked at since I hadn't been invited for an interview.
So, here's the moral of the story, make sure anything you have sent in is looked at. I assumed they took every step to examine your application, but they don't. Even though my AMCAS said I was getting a Masters they didn't bother to look for the final grades. Pretty crazy, but since I got screwed I thought I would warn you all too.
 
Happy Birthday to me! 🙂

deacondan-- what a bummer. that really stinks. misunderstandings are the worst! good luck with the rest of your process!

...and happy birthday sud!


still hoping for good things for everybody, we still have a lot of time!

--chance :luck:
 
does anyone have the link to the online UNC status update for general admissions? i know it won't say much, but it'd be reassuring to just stare at it for awhile.
 
Sadly, it is just my 22nd and not an exciting way of saying UNC called me today. And yes, I am spending it stalking the SDN forums... You guys keep me sane! In "real" life, I am cool, calm, and collected. 🙂

Well, while it would be nice if it had a hidden meaning, birthdays are still exciting, and I hope yours was great!!!!!!!!!!
 
I posted a thread about this, but am particularly interested in it for NC schools, so I thought I'd ask it here too....for those who interviewed at Wake and UNC, did you send thank you notes? Do you think thank you notes make a difference at this school? Also, if you sent them to wake, did you send ones to each individual interviewer?

Thanks everyone!!!!

I sent thank you notes to each individual interviewer at both UNC and Wake. At Emory, they said not to send thank you notes because they all contain the same essential message. Thus, I don't know that they necessarily help at any school, but they certainly can't hurt (except at Emory, I guess).
 
I would say that not sending a thank you letter to your adcom member interviewer at UNC would be best described as laziness. To my knowledge, He/She, will go to bat for your application if it is warranted. I think sending that person a grateful, and humble, message of appreciation is appropriate and can only help if you want to have that person reflect the same idea about you to the committee.

However, by no means is a thank you letter the key to your application. There are so many other very important things that supercede the relevance of a simple letter of thanks when looking at a student's profile. I like to think that the schools put honest and objective people in these positions who most certainly know how to pinpoint the 'meat of the matter.'
 
More than whether it can help you gain admittance or not, I think thank you notes are just a common courtesy. If you were going on a business interview, it would be proper etiquette to thank your interviewer for taking the time to get to you know and learn more about you. I would think the same would hold true in medical school admissions. I saw one of my interviewers after my interview day (this wasn't at UNC) and he said "I got your note, that was very nice."

If they're going to take the time to get to know you, taking the time to thank them shouldn't be too big of a deal. If it helps, great! If not, no skin off anybody's back. Plus, as stereochemistry said, there is SO much more to be considered with your application still!
 
There is always so much thank you note talk on SDN. I am personally a thank you note *****- I put out a lot. But I send notes to everyone- someone who buys me dinner to someone who has a party... I even send thank you's to my parents for their Christmas gifts.
However, as far as the admissions process goes, I think that notes may be a waste of everyone's time, energy, money and trees.
Oh yes, how wonderful for someone to take the time to interview you. Whatever. Besides student interviewers, it is part of the faculty's job. So give me a break. They also interview a bunch of people so they probably don't care that much about you and will only remember you if they took notes and have the committee meeting soon after.
Telling someone that you enjoyed meeting them is fine or that you want to go to their school is nice for you but they know that you are just an a@@ kissing MS-nothing.
I applaud Emory for being so reasonable about it.
I just feel like, and I fell prey to this too, that SDN makes one think that they have to do this or they will be ignored or they won't stand out. Be honest. You (and me) are not so gd special. Everyone should do whatever they please but we all need to get an ounce of self-awareness. If you didn't enjoy talking to that person don't be fake, waste your $0.39 and say the convo was great.
Sorry this is a rant but I am constantly disappointed with my fellow pre-meds for having such idiotic threads and posts about the wording and tact of thank you notes and LOIs. Get a clue.
 
thank you notes are probably something that won't really hurt or help you, but if you send one and still get rejected, at least you can tell yourself you tried it all
 
Whether or not the whole idea makes sense or not, thank you notes are viewed as a common courtesy for interviewers. It may not matter in your med school admissions decision, but when you go to apply for jobs etc. later, it most definitely will. A box of thank you cards costs $10, stamps are $.39 and it will take no more than 10 minutes of your time to write them to all of your interviewers. For all the time and money you've already spent on this process why wouldn't you just do it instead of debating whether or not it is going to help you when it's such a relatively small price to pay. Plus, as I said, its a good habit to get into anyway.

If you've ever spend a day WORKING at a JOB in your life, you'd understand that thanking people without considering whether or not they either deserve your thanks or can adversely affect you is a fact of life. It's a lot less painful to just get over yourself and do it.
 
Yea the notes are great and all but all of the jobs I have ever had I got without them.

And I am not 21. How many jobs have you interviewed for or had?

I think you may have misunderstood the meaning behind my question. I do not have a problem spending the small amount of money toward a thank you note, nor do I think it is only important to do if it helps your application. Rather, I did not want to seem like I was only sending the card in order to skew the admission in my direction. I.E. I was not sure if it would be better to wait and send thank yous after hearing back from the school (positive or negative). In addition, I had heard that certain schools found multiple thank you notes to be irritating and preferred applicants not to send them.

In addition, I am having trouble locating the addresses of my particular interviewers. I googled both, but only came up with the generic UNC page with the blurb about their profession with no address.

I was really not trying to come off as a lazy person only wanting to send thank yous if it helped me, I was just trying to gather information.

Sorry if I misunderstood you, and my post wasn't directed at you, but more in general to the large number of people asking will it help them if they send a thank you note. As for addressing it:

Name of Interviewer
c/o Admissions Office Adress

should work. The admissions office will make sure it gets there.
 
Ok, I straight up asked someone at the Wake admissions office about thank you notes and if they were helpful or necessary. She replied, "no they aren't, they all go in a big stack and are rarely even looked at". When I said good, because I think they are a waste of time and just a product of the overzealous, she said, "thats about right".

Thank you notes are for birthday presents, not an obligitory 15 min interview.

Lets not make this process more arduous then it already is.
 
A thank-you note may seem frivilous now but it gives you an opportunity to express how much you liked the school. Wake does keep a record of all phone calls and letters showing interest and it is very important to show continued interest if you are waitlisted. They make this very clear in their waitlist letter and the more interest you have shown can/will increase your odds of being accepted from the waitlist.

You can address a thank-you note to the dean and not the individual doctors who interviewed you and who are not actually on the admissions committee. It should then go in your file if it has additional information in it that expresses your desire to matriculate there.
 
Hi everyone. Up until now, I have only been an SDN observer. I just became a member, however, because I had to ask... has anyone that has interviewed at UNC and was instate received a rejection letter yet? It seems like those who have been declined an acceptance were either oos of declined pre-interview. I interviewed in october and have yet to hear anything and feel that there is not a prayer in the world at this point. Similarly, I saw that ECU didn't seem to have very much of a response and it has been awhile since I interviewed there as well.

I hope everyone gets good news soon, and has not lost hope. I originally was of the mind that no news is good news, and in fact I thought they said that if you were to get flat out rejected they would inform you quickly. However, after going through this post... it doesn't seem too promising.

Thanks in advance for all of your help.😕 😱 😕
 
I think they send out waitlist and rejection notices to in staters around the first and second week of april. (based on mdapplicants.com) So if you interviewed in oct. i wouldn't get too discouraged- i think they take a good number off the waitlist. they may also make some end of the process admissions just before they send out the waitlist/rejection emails based on how the last months of interviews go. i am not sure about that.. but it seems likely.

here's to another monday!!!! i think this is the week my file has to come up if they get to the dec. interviews. i drove by the med school tonight just to take a last look...
 
I said I wasn't going to worry anymore... but I can't help it! Ahhhhh, Monday!!!

This weekend my advisor told that you shouldn't worry if people you interviewed with have heard things and you have not. That doesn't mean much for UNC.

i'm not sure UNC evaluates files post-interview based on interview date. i think it has more to do with when the sub-committees decide to send your file to final review (i.e. review is based on a rubric, rather than interview date).
 
Got the accept call from UNC around 8:30 last night!!!! I'm going.

I interviewed on Dec. 1, just to give those who are waiting a time frame if there is such a thing. Good luck to everyone else.
