Well when you have the highest payroll in the history of the MLB, they ought to win a ton of games. :meanie:

Yea, you're right. That is why they have to win this year...if not...there will be some issues

I really hate the Giants after they ruined our perfect (19-0) season, now more like (18 - and 1 Giant F### UP)

As for the Yankees what else is there to say with a $209,081,579 pay roll🙄! Almost 2X the next highest pay roll. 👎

(MID NOVEMBER PLEASE COME FASTER)

aww soo cute. post pictures! are you gonna dress up as her nurse or patient?

This year is a very sentimental years, but especially for my father on my end. He's been waiting a long time for this. I'm a few years out of college too. He even wanted to come along on my interview with me! Haha, he has a 25 year old bottle of remy VSOP (the celebratory toast of choice for Vietnamese people) waiting to see how Nov 15th will turn out.

Hey guys!
New to this thread...waiting for my secondary received e-mail...

Not sure if this schedule will hold up throughout the rest of the cycle but for those that interviewed late september (definitely) and early october (i believe) we hear back in the middle of november. So I guess early november will hear back in december if things stay consistent

thank you for responding! and thanks faith2 as well
 
on the website and at the interview Ms. Walk said the 15 of every month so if you are interviewing in early nov. i think the probability will be small to hear back nov 15. so I would assume dec 15 and who knows with the holodays coming maybe it will be earlier. I would think they would want you to enjoy the holidays and not be stressed out. first bust out the interview then worry about your acceptance because its yours boo

accepted 2014
 
Hey everyone. I have a question and was looking for some opinions as to what course of action I should take. I'll start by saying that I know HU started interviewing later than most schools and also ends interviewing later as well, so perhaps it is too early for me to grow concerned. However, there was a big mishap with my application here last year and as a re-applicant, to be perfectly honest, I was expecting a quick turnaround this year from what Ms. Walk said back in the spring. Yet, I never received any sort of rejection notification from last cycle and have heard nothing other than that they have received my secondary for this app cycle...so I have my doubts.

I know that their admissions office is short-staffed, so I would hate to call them unnecessarily (I hate feeling like I'm imposing on someone's valuable time). But, after the headache of last year, I want to make sure that everything with my file is ok and that nothing has been misplaced or anything. (quietly, I really want to know what's the hold up with my interview invite, lol, but I'm not that bold) Do you all think it would be appropriate to call? Or should I wait a few more months? Also, what would I even say? I feel like calling admissions offices might lead to awkward conversation. Thoughts? Opinions?
 
hey girl long time no hear.... Since you had a mishap with them and they recognize this I can not see what would be the harm in sending Ms. Walk an email and recap the mistake of last year to maybe refresh her memory of who you are and your situation. Novemeber is next week and the holidays are quickly approaching so its best to work on this now because what if they are not interviewing the holiday week? I think the email is better than the call because you can give detail, but on the other hand everyone is probably sending emails and it might not get the attention it deserves so maybe you can try to call first if you do not get through then email. Sometimes you have to be a little persistant but not demanding. I hope this helps... good luck girl this is your year claim it 😍😍😍

at which hotel will you be staying?
I still haven't decided whether or not I want to stay in DC or in Alexandria. I really don't think I can afford to stay in DC. But do you know of any good places or resources to direct me?

yeah, DC is pretty expensive. not sure where i'm staying yet. thinking about bloomingdale inn but that's pretty expensive.
 
I stayed there and split the room with another intervee and its 4 blocks from interview

cool! I wanted to stay there because it's only 4 blocks away. Did you walk to the interview? I read in their brochure that they serve a continental breakfast between 8 and 9:30, did they have breakfast ready earlier for you?
 
For those who interviewed in October or r going to in Nov., how long did it take between completion and interview invite?
 
oh wow that was quick...was it long time between when you sent in ur app to when you were complete?


After i sent int the secondary Ms Walk sent out an email saying that the secondary was received. then i got the interview about week after my mcat scores came out. I was very happy with the turnaround time. This is my first choice school so i'm definitely happy. Also got a couple other interviews at some other schools.

amcas verified 10/5, secondary received 10/9, mcat released 10/12, interview invite 10/21
 
Hey i just wanted to say good luck to all the lucky ones for the application cycle.
hope you all get admitted to this great school

cory?... Ms walk said that this week we should be in committe I think. Letters won't be mailed out until Nov 20th.
 
you'll are lucky we interviewed on the 7th and will not get mail outs until 15 nov this is like a long slow movie where the hero will not die.


yeah this is Cory, dang, that's such a long time from now. I hope everyone in our group gets in.
 
Hello!!! Just wanted to say hi to everyone and to wish everyone good luck. This is my first post!! The 15th is so far away!!! I really dont think that I can wait that long!!!
 
Most of my sdn post r by cell so that explains spelln and other errors SORRY LOL
 
Has anyone who interviewed the 20 of october receieved a commitee review complete email.
 
No email yet, let's be patient, just makes me feel better knowing I have not receieved anything yet. Good luck guys
 
You get an email saying they recieved your secondary and money order... when you get invited for an interview that is when they tell that your LORs are fine if they are acceptable. Your interview invite is headed Invite Howard.... I do not have a time frame because i sent my secondaries 1 day after they were released in aug and I was invited for the first batch of invites last week of sept or first week of oct were my choices. GOOD LUCK never stop fighting until the fighting is done... 🙂:xf:😍

So let's throw a scenario out there: does anyone know whether they send out interview invites even though you have one more letter on their way to them or do they wait for everything? Let's say you have a bunch of strong letters but one of the two required science letters has not arrived yet? Think you would get any word from them??
