Yeah, I'm not messin around with this malarkey anymore. Don't care to cite specifics, but a whole lot of fishy business going on (or so it seems). Too many good/great applicants waitlisted and rejected, and too many lesser ones accepted (I'm not talking about people on SDN necessarily, or even just UAB specifically). If I don't get off either of my two waitlists, then maybe I'll just go out of country. I've already applied to SGU in the Caribbean and probably will hit up ROSS pretty soon.
I don't feel up to another year of this torture. You reapps are pretty tough. And mature. I, on the other hand, feel everyone's been a bit mistreated, and am not sure I'm going to be able to deal with it again. If I had reapplied (after fixing my applicationn as instructed), only to be waitlisted/rejected because of an OOS overdraft (or whatever the cause), I'd feel betrayed. Don't know how you guys do it, and I surely don't want to do it next year. Especially when UAB won't give timely feedback ("someone" critical to the process is absent for an unknown period of time) so we can at least get started now in the event of having to reapply.
Hopefully I'll get into somewhere here. I talk a lot of smack, but I'd rather stay stateside if I could. Best of luck to the UAB waitlist club.
