That's what they said. I hope that isn't true, but I have to accept it for now...
Hopefully it'll be closer to 4 weeks I have to wait for some form of communication from them.

Ahhh..that doesnt make much sense to me, but good luck.
But, RowerLauren, didn't you say that your roommate got a waitlist/hold letter without a picture?
It is very bizarre of Vandy to have your application just sit there without any review because you were missing a picture, and not email you over the past two months. I guess it doesn't much matter, you will be evaluated with the next group, as will the waitlist/hold applicants. (But at least you will not have been passed over once by the committee already.)
Best of luck.

Yeah - we were definitely not reviewed without the picture (I am in the same situation as RowerLauren). It's EXTREMELY frustrating and pretty much ruined my day, but I guess I'll have to be patient and wait for another 6 weeks. They did say, however, that they send out 'invites' (I assume this means acceptances) 10 times per year and they have only sent out 'invites' once so far..so we're still in the early phase of the process..
My roommate was reviewed but definitely doesn't currently have a photo uploaded yet.
It's so annoying that they told me 8 weeks to the day after my interview. 4 weeks would have been much nicer! I still have an edge over people who haven't interviewed I guess... But I just wanted to hear something.
Do you guys know when the next round of decisions will be made?
I was told offers will be made once a month, so I'd imagine around the 15th of next month.
I thought that they were going to be making offers 10 times this year?
I have never heard that, but it could be true. But they do still meet weekly to discuss applicants.
I was in your interview group and and haven't heard anything yet. I'll be sure to post when I get any news. Good luck!

Yea, it was available before the interview. I thought it was pretty cool that they put our AMCAS activities in an easily view-able format!That one's accessible before you interview, so don't worry about it.👍
The horizontal aspect of it was nice, but I couldn't get the roll-over to work. Did it work for you? (If so, I'm jealous.)
Looks like they are sending out another batch of acceptances....I interviewed 9/22, accepted today (well letter was dated 10/27)!!! No phone call for me in past days....
Wait, what! Aaaugh!
Congrats! That's awesome!! I interviewed 9/23...still waiting...but I just got a pre-interview rejection from U. of Chicago so I don't have good feelings right now 🙁
I interviewed on 9/25 so I guess I'm in the same boat. I looked through MDapps, and most people got their letters after 6 weeks, but some did get their answers before then so there is hope!
Congrats!
Aww...sorry to hear that, but keep your chin up! You may well hear love from Vandy!! UChicago put me on pre-interview hold, so you're in a similar boat as I am.
On another note, I'm sure Shemarty will be hearing soon, as I interviewed with her...so give it a couple of days to Cali shemarty, you won't even need to open the letter haha. Also, the acceptance does come in a small envelope everyone, so no fear!

I hope by silence you mean no mail? It could be on its way!
Yep no mail. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but we'll see. And thanks so much for the encouragement aebvd97. This process is so long and stressful 🙁 it's nice to hear positive words for others in the same boat.

Congrats to people who got the phone calls!
On the Top left corner above where it says Pre-Allopathic [ MD ] Premedical student discussion forum
There is a button for My Account. Press it, and then on the left hand side, I believe it is the first button for Edit Profile. Go all the way down, and enter your Mdapps number into the place for Mdapps. I hope this helps!
No news for me either...
1. Click on "My Account" in the left hand corner.
2. Click on "Edit your details." It's on the left under "Your Control Panel"
3. Scroll to the very bottom of the page. It lets you input your MDApplicants ID number.
