Congrats! Though I'm pretty bummed that they met and reviewed someone w/ a december interview date and I'm still waiting on my mid-november interview. 🙁
Congrats! And never fear, Rach83, I'm still waiting on a mid-October interview 🙂

did yall send thank you notes to your interviewers?
Hey all. I'm a new member but a relatively long time reader of this forum. Im actually a re-applicant, and I went to the post-rejection feedback meeting they offered last year. I was basically told that they "really liked my application and my interviews went well, but they wanted to see me bring my MCAT score up a few points..."
Well, I knew the MCAT score was the weakest part of my application, so I wasn't entirely surprised. Well, I did fairly well on the MCAT compared to the first time when I didn't study correctly or enough, and raised my score 6 points.
I actually felt like I bombed the second interview, but I felt that way last year and they told me my interviews went very well. Anyone ever feel that way?
Any responses would be appreciated...

Same here... 🙁
They can't tell you anything. They said they are not allowed to say whether you have been through the committee or not yet.
got in a week ago. So far i got into two schools and im interviewing at my third on monday. i know people ask for the stats of those who got in so here they are. 3.44 gpa (biochem major), 33MCAT, extra cir: volunteered at clinics, schools and played college fball for 4 years. good luck to the rest of you. if any of you have any questions don't hesitate to ask🙂
Are you IS or OOS? When did you interview? Anyhow, congrats on your acceptances and good luck on your next interview!
Out of state. I'm from san fran and finishing up my undergrad at usc. Oh and thanks for the good luck, next interview is with ohio state. are you instate or out of state?
OOS. 🙁 Hopefully I'll follow in your footsteps with an acceptance.

Oh I forgot to mention I interviewed back in October. By the way I think it helps giving them a call. I gave them a call everyday three weeks because my ability to attend med school greatly depends on the amount of scholarship/financial aid/loan I can get my hands on. I nearly dropped out of undergrad my first year because money became a major issue but luckily I earned an athletic scholarship through football my sophomore year which covered housing, food (dhall), the whole nine yards etc. So yeah as you can imagine I could not wait to find out if I was accepted or not so I could figure out how to get my deposit and figure out how I'm gonna finance this massive investment. Short story, I personally think calling lets the admissions know that you deeply care about their school and that you truly want to attend their school regardless if its your number one pick or your safety school...who knows maybe it can be that border line decision factor
Just to check, surely you mean a call every three weeks, not every day for three weeks, right?
Also, congrats! You sound like a great applicant.
Anyone try to contact someone in the office about status? I emailed last week and have not heard back yet. Also, I called and the person that answered the phone was very unhelpful. They were like "I don't understand the question." (?) Is it usual for NC schools to give no correspondance for months? did anyone receive a 'thanks for interviewing you are on hold email' ?
i mean just put yourself in their shoes: they have 6000 people who obviously want to know whether or not they got in. think about how many people probably call them every day. they are not going to just say "oh actually you DID get in, we just were waiting to tell you so that you can feel miserable for a few more weeks." clearly if they havent called you its because they havent decided if they want to accept you or not. thats it. they arent playing games and trying to make us miserable, there are just a lot of good candidates and they cant let everyone in. personally i would be pretty annoyed getting a million phone calls after id already told ppl they i couldnt tell them anything anyway.
Not saying they are playing games. Would like an update after a few months. And other schools can do it so why can't they? Just want to know how they work and the best way to reach them. That is their job to deal with phone calls. Chill man

Ok, so looking back through this thread, and through last year's as well, I've come to the conclusion that I am probably going to be rejected. It seems that people who got in, with the exception of FrenchToast (congrats, btw!), found out pretty quickly, like within 4-6 weeks. I am looking at week 11 post interview, haven't heard jack yet. Granted, ok, maybe I will get in next week or something, and yeah, I would be over the moon happy about it. But somehow I just don't see that happening, because I feel like if I had impressed them, I would have gotten in by now. It takes too much energy for me to get all worked up about maybe, possibly, hopefully getting a call or getting waitlisted 3 months from now.
Also I am sort of confused about this whole "everyone gets in in Jan. and Feb." thing. It seems (based on last year) like people get in periodically throughout the cycle and there isn't some big glut of acceptances going out in Jan. and Feb. Anyway, if anyone has some insight into why I shouldn't be of this opinion please let me know. This is a crappy feeling...
Don't despair Teddy Bear.... even if you're thinking is right about not getting accepted, there's still a chance you could get on the waitlist and those decisions don't come out until April or May. If you have to re-apply next year, get in touch with Joni and ask to speak to the Dean about the reasons for your rejection. Not only can they give you the best advice on your application, but it also shows interest.
Don't lose hope yet... you still have a few months!! And though the prospect of re-applying is daunting, it's really not that bad. I speak from experience when I say that going through it the second time is a lot better then the first (you know the process and have a bunch of tips on what you need to do to make your app more competitive if you talk to the Deans of the schools that rejected you). Good luck!

Thanks guys! I'm sorry I sounded so mopey in that post, it was just a rough day and I was throwing myself a little pity party I guess...
I got off my butt and worked out, which helped, and then it really helped having to do work for classes. Hard to mope if you're distracted. But thanks again for being supportive. It helps to have someone other than your mom to tell you to get back up and keep things in perspective 🙂
Don't know for sure, but assuming they stick to their usual, I'd expect some lucky people will get calls tonight.So is UNC supposed to meet today? I only saw one person that said they received a call two weeks ago.
Has anyone heard tonight?
