LuMD2011, do you have an MDapps profile? (It's my polite way of asking if you'd mind sharing your stats with me).
tennisguy896 said:LuMD- I'm guessing the "complete" email you got meant your file had finished being reviewed by 3 adcomm folks? Thanks for clearing things up.
jackieMD2007 said:Team, I put this as an addendum for a REASON. If people want to share their stats, that is fine. They can share it when they post their interviews or when they feel like it. They can include their MD Apps link. But please don't call out posters looking for stats to compare with. A better database for that (if the OP doesn't offer) is mdapplicants.com.
Thank you!
Please, out of courtesy for others, DO NOT ask them what their stats are, after they add to the list. If they don't have an MD Apps profile, they might not want to share. If you're posting that you got an interview or a rejection or whatever, and you want to share your stats at that time, please feel free to! Otherwise, kindly send all requests for stats to the person posting via Private Message. Let's try to keep it classy and just be happy for those getting interviews/acceptances without badgering them for personal information.
Questions about when they submitted and what their notification type (phone, email, etc) are totally fine, as this helps let the rest of us know what to watch for. Keep it classy, SDN!
swim2md said:Relax, Jackie..... some people don't mind being asked.... and asking on the board may save someone from having to answer multiple PMs. Also, it's helpful for everyone on the board if they do choose to answer. I think most people on here are smart enough to know that if someone asks and they don't feel like sharing, they simply don't have to.
jackieMD2007 said:You're missing my point. People can share when they post the good/bad news or subsequently thereafter. Even though it is helpful for everyone, and we certainly want to know, it is PERSONAL information and should be treated as such. The people who are keen enough to get interview/acceptances know that we want to know their stats. The purpose of this thread isn't for us to compare stats, but to see where interviews/acceptances/rejections are going out.
LuMD2011 said:The July 20th email from Vandy was just to say they received all my info like letters and such and to expect to hear from them about a possible interview/secondary within the next 3-4 weeks. I felt like at that point the ad comm had not even seen my application.
Sorry to confuse
Yeah I was confused by that too - my acknowledgment email didn't say anything about letters.tennisguy896 said:What letters are you referring too? Sorry about my confusion, but I thought Vandy only requests letters after they have invited you to their interview/secondary. Thanks again for your patience and your info.
Erina said:you used an old version of the list! oops!
C.P. Jones said:have you GW people been told that you are complete yet? i literally sent my app in the minute i got it
TIGIBedHead said:C.P.Jones, my letters aren't in, so I haven't gotten a complete e-mail. But they did notify me today that they received my secondary, which I mailed out on Monday.
For those of you with interviews at GW, have all of you sent in LORs already? Anyone receive an invite without letters?

Haemulon said:I had an unexpected email yesterday: an invite to apply to Medical College of Wisconsin. I had not originally sent a primary to them, and they solicited me based on MCAT information. Any one else experience this? Is this a blanket invite to all applicants or based on some criteria do you think?
chitowndr said:question for GW folks...
I went complete (acknowledged by them yesterday) and I am not over anxious about hearing yet...
But, I was wondering roughly when you had your interviews scheduled. Are we talking early September, or later? I only ask, because I go to a school that starts in late September, and am trying to figure out travel plans, in case I do get that interview invite...
remo said:Anyone ever wonder if an adcomm is monitoring this list and trying to figure out who you are? I mean if a school gave out 5-10 interviews in a day they could take the notification dates we have listed and proably figure out who you are on SDN.
musiclink213 said:Just curious, how did GW notify you that you were complete? I mailed my app on the 25th, and want to know approximatly how long it takes.
joanofarc0907 said:YAY Looque!! Congrats. We are one step closer to going to an amazing school
EDIT: PS when did you pick your interview for?
i hear the 15th is an EXCELLENT date to pick.Looque said:I haven't picked a date yet, but I'm sure I'll go for a relatively early one. I just hate scheduling things in advance like this; I'm much more a last-minute kind of guy, so this is breaking my nature.
Erina said:i hear the 15th is an EXCELLENT date to pick.
...ok, so that's just because i'll be there that day.
