This is my seventh interview. But no acceptances!!! I am on four waitlists. I wouldn't call that "killing it". I am hoping I will be accepted here.

Thanks for the good luck... I hope you are right about your good feeling 🙂

With 7 interviews in one application cycle you are indeed "killing it". I have had three different interviews in 2 application cycles. Unless you totally suck as a person, I dont see how you can not be accepted to at least one school.

Sorgi or Painter? They have the greatest job in sport, they make 400-900K per year to do not play, they dont get hurt and shorten their live span. All they do is throw a few balls in practice and watch film. Its a great gig in my book, thats why no backup QB ever complain about playing time.

Painter.

He used to dislocate our wide receivers' fingers with his passes.

So I'm in state with a good MCAT, GPA, extracurriculars, etc... and I applied to all the in-state schools. I applied to Vanderbilt and some other good ones as well and got an interview invite to Vandy and to UF (my undergrad), but I've yet to hear from FSU or any of the other Florida schools (excluding FIU). I was completed 9/25 (sent secondaries early august, one letter of rec held up everything). Any idea how long it might take before I hear back from FSU?

It took about 3 months for me, but then again, my GPA was not very flashy. It was a lot faster for others. I'm sure you'll hear something soon!

I hope you are right. I would like to think I don't suck as a person 🙂. Anyways, any hotel reccomendations? Any recommedations to prepare?

The only Florida school I've heard from is UCF (although the school is amazing!). I've had 4 other interviews out of state, but it feels strange not to hear from 5 out of 6 schools (especially since UF is my undergrad). I thought I had a pretty good application and personal statement😕😕😕.

It takes time, be pateint and you can update them with new info if you want. After you are done with this you will realized how long this application process really is!

I got my room at the shwanky Doubletree downtown just up the street from the school (not walking distance, thought) off hotwire for $79. I narrowed the search to the area around the school and picked only 3.5 stars or higher. I think it's the only 3.5 star and higher hotel around there.

Hey I interviewed on the 13th and I was wondering if anyone thinks there is a chance I would find out before Thanksgiving break. Tomorrow would be the second tuesday since the interview and I know the committee usually meets then but I'm not sure if they are going to meet due to the holiday. What do you guys think?

 

[MossPoh]

You'll find out....I know you just want to find out, but that is all there is to it. You either will or you won't....

 

[locus000]

You'll find out....I know you just want to find out, but that is all there is to it. You either will or you won't....

does anyone else out there understand this?? 😀

 

[ezsanche]

I think i do

 

[MossPoh]

Purposefully vague and confusing. The only people that know when you will find out are admissions after they find out. They like time lines but that is never a guarentee

 

[worlddoc09]

hey..i interviewed on the 13th too!...im so nervous about finding out, i know the 'subcommittee' meets tomorrow because thats what Dana told me. I guess the interviewers are presenting us tomorrow then...so we should hear by next week after the final committee meets. I feel like i won't be able to breathe until next wk...geez

[bcs2010]

hey i hope that the committee has already met on us and today the subcommittee meets for the final decision. we'll see what happens, it feels like we interviewed months ago!

 

[TcuTcuca]

Good luck, you two!!!

 

[cleoscat3]

Would you like to live with me MossPoh. I'm pretty bad about snooping about to figure out who people are so you're going to have to tell me if you want to move in😛

I don't mind living with a cuddly doggie. How come you don't ask me?

 

[rainxy]

My status online changed to a page that said I am accepted!!!

So excited! But haven't receive any emails or phone calls. Is that mean I am guaranteed a spot??🙂

Yeah, it was after 5 when I got the email n I was also told to send an email. I was actually n the fitting room trying on a suit for my first interview next Friday. I'm going to call Monday morning to try to get some confirmation that way.
