Members don't see this ad.

yea .. no letter today= not accepted prob. ( i live in east coast)

 

[OneMCATAway]

time for me to check the mail i guess..

 

[RunningDiva]

anyone on the westcoast get the happy acceptance mail yet?

or even anyone who was never called/emailed so far?

no call, no email...although i did get a text from a funky area code. of course i momentarily thought my interviewer texted me my acceptance. it turned out to be a junk text.

i will check the mail in a few hours when i get home and report any good news.

Yeah I really doubt that any snail mail would make it to the West coast by today.

They just sent out acceptances on Friday.

[dw2158]

i got my packet in the mail today. east coast.

 

[Lucky4]

well well... so how do the rejections come? through the status or mail or both

 

[beantownboss]

Got the acceptance packet in the mail today. But, I live in Boston lol

 

[DoctwoB]

Has anyone gotten an acceptance packet who didn't recieve a call or email from the interviewer?

 

[u177960]

I interviewed w/ Dr. Schwartz and did not get a call or email, did anyone hear from him by any chance? 🙂

I didn't receive a call or email from my interviewer but got the package in the mail today. I live in Boston, so I bet the packages to the West Coast are still in the mail. Good luck! I'm super-pumped for next year!

Thanks for the info. Hoping to get some good news in the mail tomorrow!

gotta wonder though, they've clearly had their list of accepted vs. deffered vs. rejected for some time now, why not update the status pages and save us some anguish.

Clearly they are enjoying watching us squirm on this thread.

 

[robrobbberts]

So far only Boston/Massachusetts people seemed to have gotten the packets. I hope they just let us all know soon either way...

 

[redsquareblack]

how about Dr. Holick? Has anyone else interviewed with him???

Make sure you're taking vitamin D supplements! Holick is intimidating, but awesome.

Well, upstate New Yorkers, too, as it turns out.

 

[dw2158]

and city dwellers.

 

[redsquareblack]

and city dwellers.

Ewww. Them, too, I guess. 😉

 

[Sohungry]

Anyone from the Maryland/Washington D.C./Virginia area receive admission packets today?

 

[Sohungry]

Also, those of you who received acceptance packets today, did you also receive an e-mail from BU admissions (not interviewers) regarding your acceptance?

 

[beantownboss]

No, just the packet.

 

[Cali787]

I was accepted and live on the West Coast - and I did not get a packet in the mail today. So don't worry if you haven't received anything yet, West Coasters! 🙂

 

[cornwall]

accepted. boston area. snail mail. interviewed with dr. malamud but received no call. also no change to status page.

 

[hplc lova]

just to give everyone a little hope:
I have a friend who received an acceptance e-mail from dr. witzburg on sunday night. He lives right in the Boston area, but has not receive any acceptance packet as of yet. So, if you're from the area and have no acceptance packet yet, don't give up hope. I'm sure they weren'tall sent out at once or else he'd definitely have his by now.

[royalewthcheese]

I just checked my status and saw that I was deferred... and was actually a bit relieved 🙂

 

[mdeast]

Same here. May withdraw. Wasn't feeling BU too much when I visited and I liked Sinai more anyway. Oh well. At least we know!

Email sent as well.

 

[guyski79]

[UncleAdam27]

Has anyone's page been updated to show an acceptance?

Nope - I was accepted via a phone call from my interviewer on Friday (1/08), and received an acceptance package via snail-mail yesterday (Monday, 1/11), but no status update or email yet.

Deferred...GMS here too...any GMSers get in?

Yeah - I'm GMSII - was accepted on Friday (1/08). I've talked to a few GMS'ers who have been deferred as well. I think there's a good chance you'll get accepted come March. Best of luck!!
