Members don't see this ad.

Wow I hadn't heard that. Where did you get that information? Just curious.

First saw it on the UMichigan Admissions page (http://www.med.umich.edu/medschool/admissions/apply/profiles.html), then asked around about national stats. I doubt that Michigan is alone in this. Could be completely wrong, but if it's true, all the better for us!

 

[mrmilad]

sigh.... hopefully tomorrow by this time well have some news.

 

[AtTheBeach]

Anyone complete in September receive an interview invite? I think I've read of only one.

Good luck to those who hear tomorrow or Tuesday! I know it will be a long night (or couple of nights) for you. This IS a torturous process!

 

[linkin06]

today is the day!

i hope...

yes or no, i jus wanna kno

 

[BlueElmo]

Good luck all. BTW, it could be Tuesday.

 

[mrmilad]

Good luck all. BTW, it could be Tuesday.

Hope when I wake up tomorrow morning I hope its here, but five bucks says Tuesday.

Yeah I'm pretty nervous. I got waitlisted at GWU, which was alright I guess cause Georgetown is my dream school. But I can't help but think that if I got waitlisted at GW I'll prolly get waitlisted or denied at Georgetown. How many people get accepted post-interview (not off the waitlist) at Georgetown? The students there made it seem like almost everyone that goes there got off the waitlist (which I think is kinda dumb).

i think i remember them saying the breakdown at each adcom meeting was something like: 25-30 accepts, ~50 waitlists, and 25-30 rejections

that sounds about right. their admissions rate is about 1/3 of interviewed.

Yes mrmilad, you did 😛

mrmilad, I interviewed the same day as you...didn't Mrs. Sullivan say that we could email her on September 20 (tomorrow) if we hadn't heard from the school by then? (I vaguely recall her saying something along these lines...)

 

[mrmilad]

Yes mrmilad, you did 😛

mrmilad, I interviewed the same day as you...didn't Mrs. Sullivan say that we could email her on September 20 (tomorrow) if we hadn't heard from the school by then? (I vaguely recall her saying something along these lines...)

She actually said we can call them on the 20th if we didn't hear anything.

 

[tatchle1]

[mrmilad]

yeah, someone call..... NOT IT!

I called last week to ask when they would send it out, so definitely not it!

Sigh........... Georgetown is another let down in terms of keeping their damn deadline.

Don't they friggin realize that people are waiting for their decision so they can cancel other interviews.

 

[c17h]

[QUOTE CONGRATS! when did you interview? QUOTE]
I interviewed the first week of September.

 

[linkin06]

i interviewed 9-4....where my news at?

 

[smmypnts]

Anyone complete in September receive an interview invite? I think I've read of only one.

Anyone have any updates on the turn-around times lately? How long for rejections?

 

[CanKinMed]

For those of you who got accepted, can you check the time that the e-mail was received? Do you think they're sending e-mails individually or as a group? I interviewed Sept. 1 and have nothing yet 🙁

[CanKinMed]

12:34pm

Thanks! Now if we got another one....

 

[BlueElmo]

I was 9/3 and nothing. Ah man.

 

[kierkegaard]

anybody hear back an answer other than accept? or other than first week in Sept?

 

[MCP1]

My email came at 1:34.

 

[orange4me]

My email came at 1:34.

Oops, I should have probably specified the time zone haha. My email came at 12:34pm cst, so yeah...1:34pm est.

Oh well, guess they sent out either all the acceptances in a group, or just everything for today. I heard the waitlist isn't bad at Georgetown once you write that essay so

Congrats on those accepted though!

 

[anxietypeaker]

suppose its a waitlist/rejection for the rest of us then... ?
