WOOOOOOO

ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!! My FIRST ONE WOOOO.

🙂 got the notice in email. interviewed 10/26

GL all
 
Interviewed mid October. Check the acceptance thread for the exact details... woo!
 
Also placed on hold. I was hoping an acceptance here would take some pressure off; instead, more waiting...
 
on hold too. Was really hoping for some good news

HOLD

i already had multiple acceptances before i even interviewed here and they were better schools so i wouldnt have gone here anyway. one of my interviewers actually asked me if it was my first interview and i said no it was my 6th. not sure if this might have played into my decision.. maybe they didnt want to "waste" a spot on me knowing that i wouldnt have attended anyway

what do you guys think?

and you took someone's interview spot instead of withdrawing... why?

I'm usually a pretty nice guy around these parts, but that was a pretty arrogant thing to say/do and if you portrayed yourself in the same manner during your interview then that's probably why you received the decision that you did. 🙄

Agreed w/ bender. U sound like a ****ing dick. Enjoy ur other acceptances.

and you're telling me you'd go to RFU over the other schools you've been accepted at (UIC-Chicago, Loyola, UPitt..etc.)?

give me a break. you're as arrogant as the rest. and yeah, you might have interviewed here before your acceptances, but you're really gonna sit here and tell me you didnt think you'd get in somewhere better than RFU with your 4.0 gpa and 33 mcat? why didn't you withdraw?

ive worked my ass off for the last 5 years (non-trad) to be in the position i am today, and i thought id check out what this school had to offer regardless of my nonexistant desire to go here. it's my RIGHT to interview here, after all, they invited ME, i didnt ASK for one

I don't have a problem with you going if you had acceptances. I have a problem with the highlighted part of your post. You had already made up your mind that you didn't want to go. If you had an inkling that you may have wanted to go there over your other acceptances, even if for financial reasons, then by all means, go! But as you have said a SECOND time on this thread that you had no interest whatsoever in attending over your previous acceptances, than you shouldn't have even gone. I have no doubt you worked hard and that's why you have the options before you. So yeah, it's your right, but it's discourteous to fellow applicants and the school that spends time and money on an applicant who has a "nonexistant desire" to attend.

I went because a) I didn't have any acceptances and most importantly, b) I had a genuine interest in the school at the time of my interview for my own personal reasons. I see you've looked at my stats and acceptances (which doesn't include UPitt btw) and I can also tell you that I've withdrawn from 3 interviews after my first acceptances so that people who are still interested aren't cheated out of an interview slot.

Best of luck to you with the rest of the cycle, but I hope you can see why this frustrates some people.
 
they definitely would give you a spot if you were a good candidate. I said that I was offered 6 interviews so far and I got accepted.

how am i a dick? i interviewed just to get a feel for the school and see what they had to offer. it was my right to interview

Defend urself all u want u still sound like a dick. Interviewing somewhere that u have no intention on attending and have no interest in is just an ******* move. I'm sure if they would have accepted u u would have been posting a diffErent message on sdn other than ur arrogant one cause of ur hold...dick
 
he wrote that first post out of frustration, he just doesn't want to admit it. 😛

at least when he wakes up in the morning and looks in the mirror he isn't you, so the day is already off to a good start

Lol nobody cares. Ur a joke. I'm sure u've never been criticized and ur huge ego just can't take it.
 
Alrighty, let's call the pissing contest done. Who's still waiting for news??? Good luck to you guys!
 
IIIIINNN!!!!

Two interviews, two acceptances. I guess I'm personable 🙄
 
Did everyone who interviewed mid to late October hear something via email? Anyone know how often the committee meets? I interviewed earlier this week and am wondering how soon I will hear from RFU.
 
Hold as well. Good to see everyone else sucks as much as I do, I guess.
 
Hold...not too surprised considering my second interview there. Still bummed because I've interviewed at a few schools and haven't heard any good news. =/

I feel ya. It's good to know that people are going through the same thing I am; not that I would wish it upon anyone. But hey, things will work out eventually. I read through last year's thread: some people were accepted from hold a month or two after, so let's hope that happens to us.

My tour guide was put on hold last year and got off a few months later. And they said there are a lot of movments so don't worry and keep your hopes up.

i was put on hold following my interview last year. i sent in an update letter, and got accepted in the following meeting. but keep in mind, i had some substantial things to tell them (aka brag about), so this might not necessarily be your experience. also, as others have said, a substantial number of the m1s here now got in off the "hold" list.

and oh yeah, congratulations to those who have gotten acceptances already. enjoy it.

are you saying that some of the m1s who got in off the "hold" list didn't necessarily sent in any updates?

hehe, no. what i was meant is that sending in a letter won't necessarily get you accepted. in hindsight, it probably didn't even need to be said. 😳
 
what are the odds of getting an interview at this place with a 25 and 3.7 gpa???

oh ok...thanks. I wasn't sure if I needed to send in an update just to make sure they know that I am still interested. I've graduated, so I don't have grade updates for them and such...

how is your first year going?
 
i was small-pooled wayyy back in late sept (9/24) and haven't heard anything since.

what does this mean? it's strange because i feel like all of my apps have been silent lately - no news may be good news, but it's oh so agonizing 😛
 
I was small pooled in beginning of October and no word yet. Anyone know if they send invites out in batches or continuously?
 
pre-interview reject today. Complete since early August. Guess they didn't like my 'life in discovery' lol
 
:/

A very generic e-mail that reads:

Dear Applicant;

We thank you for your interest in our University, and we wish you the best in your future pursuits.

Sincerely,


Rebecca L. Durkin
