How reponsive is Dr. WC when you email her? Is it actually her who reads the email? or does like a administrator or assistant?

Just don't send her the email asking your chances before the 16th, because she will tell you to wait.

...or she will just not respond at all and make you worry that you are getting off on the wrong foot for when she compiles that waitlist 😳
 
Yay now that the weekend before judgement week is here, I can get back into my neurotic vcu sdn mode. A little over 100 hours to go!!... one way or another, whether I get in now or don't, I think I'm going to really miss doing this.
 
just a day away from saying that decisions will be going out "the day after tomorrow"! :laugh:
 
let the countdown begin.. about 3 more days?!

im getting excited for you guys 😛
 
sooo do those of us who have been chilling here since October actually have any better of a chance of getting in this time? I'm just banking on getting on the waitlist at this point.

I feel like if we were invited earlier it would mean so but who knows? I sure don't! Haha. Good luck to everyone! I really hope to be joining everyone who's been accepted!! :xf: 🙂

I know, right? You would think early invites would mean early acceptances. I was invited for the first day of interviews at UVA and rejected promptly. :laugh: So it is quite a crapshoot. I had a late November interview here and got in less than a month later. Whatevs.

Good luck to you and everybody else who is waiting for Tuesday!
 
VCU is all about priority score and thats set in stone at this point for everyone, so no matter when you interviewed i think its just a matter of where you stand among the rest of the applicants and thats true if anyone is waitlisted too.. good luck all, dont read so much into it just try to take your mind off it (i know its easier said than done but do it!!) :luck:
 
Talk about a depressing day. I have been thinking that today, Monday, is the day we find out... woke up today and realized its the 15th, not the 16th, and now know I have to wait one more day to find out.... Oh well, whats another 24 hours when you have been waiting since October. Best of luck to everyone!

yup, i feel the same. though you know you're just saying this, hoping that fate proves you wrong.
 
Could we get rejected also? Or are they only giving out acceptances/waitlists?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that status says that their next correspondence will be accept, reject, or waitlist. So I think that all three are in play.

I don't really know for sure, but after looking at last year's thread, it looks like most people were rejected prior to March 16th if they were going to be rejected without a waitlist spot, and people who were not accepted on March 16th didn't see a status change right away because the committee hadn't yet made the waitlist. I read somewhere that most likely you'd be placed on the waitlist if there was any real chance you'd be able to get a spot with your priority score. People were accepted off the waitlist all the way up to the last week before classes started.

Soo I suppose it means that (at least according to what happened last year) any news tomorrow will most likely be good news. And no news right away is probably a waitlist spot (unless when they make it a week or two later, they decide it's too long for you to have a chance with your score). Of course, it's possible that there were rejections handed out March 16th last year, but those people weren't posting to SDN...

Does anybody know what time they'll be updating the status site? It seems like last year it was right after 6pm EST. If this is true, I'll try not to stress out tomorrow morning because I'll be waiting all day haha.. I don't think my body/mind can handle much more of that!

VCU seems like a great place to be, I'd be thrilled to get a spot as I'd love to go there, but I did interview one of the last days, so I guess we'll see...:xf: Best of luck to everyone waiting for tomorrow!!!
 
I'm hoping for an acceptance tomorrow but fully expecting to be waitlisted. Yeah VCU has plenty of waitlist movement even in the later stages since they never over-accept, but I would expect most movement after June to be in the OOS list.

Thanks, and congrats on the acceptance!! Still waiting on my first one...maybe tomorrow? I don't want to hope too much though, in case it's another major let down. :lame:

p.s. is your user name possibly referencing the song Bottle it Up? If so, I loove Sara Bareilles, she's amazing, especially live.

It's true, she is. She confirmed it in an email to the students several weeks ago. She's training her replacement for the Step 1 board prep program. We're all very sad to see her go. 🙁

It is! I thought it was fitting because I'm going into this profession because I love medicine and helping people🙂
 
Good luck to everyone waiting to hear today!:luck: Today is my birthday, so that has to mean that it's an extra lucky day for everyone, right? RIGHT? But seriously, I hope all of you get in so we can all have something to celebrate tonight!🙂
 
good luck everyone!! I hope you guyss get in! i loved this school and I'm def planning on being there this Aug.
 
I'm here to wish everyone good luck! I will be attending in the fall and loved VCU. I hope you guys get some good news today. To help withe the early day jitters tomorrow, my email was time stamped 6:05pm but it didn't show up in my inbox until almost 6:30.
 
Do we think/assume that decisions are going out at around 6pm EST like on 2/5? My friend is waiting to hear today so I am vicariously nervous for him!! Good luck to everyone.. I hope to be joining you all in the Fall as well!
 
just called the office. they will be handing out acceptances after 6pm, and only acceptances today. all wait-list notifications will be given out approximately 1 week from now.

I am about to head out for the night so I won't be on until later, but I wanted to wish everyone good luck.... So, GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY:luck: Also, I want to extend my congratulations to everyone who ends up getting accepted. I'll run back to this thread later on tonight to hear the good news!🙂
