[I Doctor]

LeanPheltz your Accepted thingy in red got me all frazzled for a sec

 

[metallica81788]

This is killing me. At least if it doesn't happen I can forget about it until February and write letters to other schools.

 

[LeonPheltz]

Haha sorry about that. Well I hope that in the next few mins we can all put that up on our profiles!

 

[metallica81788]

I'm not checking email or status page until someone else posts an acceptance. I'm just not going to do that to myself.

 

[OneMCATAway]

[metallica81788]

Sorry to everybody that didn't get in, especially those that have been waiting since October. 🙁

I hope yall all get in when February comes around!

 

[niner4life13]

so if you were previously on hold and received no update today, then your still on hold....?

 

[lost786]

in state, interviewed Oct 1st. looks like i'll be waiting at least another 6 wks. ah well 🙂.

 

[dadocca]

Congrats all of you that have gotten in. I've accepted I'm off to waitlistland but I'll see yall again on this thread closer to Feb

 

[RRTinCO]

I'm in, OOS, interviewed early Nov. Now some decisions to be made 😀

FWIW, I have tons of health care experience.

I saw that some have been rejected post interview for lack of health care experience.

 

[joshto]

what does it mean if you didnt get any change to status?

I interviewed 12/2 and have yet to receive even the "the committee has reviewed your file" message.

any advice?

 

[FutureMDer]

Accepted, I got the email like 6:15 PM, and interviewed mid October.

 

[francisco84]

It means your file hasn't been reviewed by the committee yet. If you don't get a status change by the 12th drop them a line, files occasionally get misplaced by the reviewer.

 

[dadocca]

Was anybody that was accepted today also on hold and eligible for an acceptance on Oct 16?

 

[Laryngophed]

Man, I'm just hoping for an interview soon. Congrats to all who were accepted and condolences to those were not.

the 12th? what month might that be?

i was under the impression they reviewed files EVERY monday...?

 

[OneMCATAway]

i would like to know this too.. anyone???

 

[nonamesleft]

Was anybody that was accepted today also on hold and eligible for an acceptance on Oct 16?

..not that I know of...I wasn't..

it makes sense, i think, if they were accepting based on priority score cutoffs..
hypothetically,
october = acceptance for interviews August/sept/early oct with priority 1-2
december = acceptance for interviews late oct/nov/early dec with priority 1-2
then:
February = interview late dec, jan, early feb with 1-2

..I'm guessing there's gonna be mass acceptances, rejections, and waitlists in March

..I just wish I knew now...then I can stop worrying...*sigh*..counting down to march (I'm giving up on February)

Congrats to everyone accepted today, good luck to those still waiting 🙂

your interviewer has to "present" you to the committee...so you might have a interviewer who hasn't made it to the recent committee meetings..

 

[yummieyimmie]

oh man this sux... I was really hoping for some good news... i interviewed Oct. 19th..

well here's to more waiting.. i really hope i get some luvin from this school

12th of January. 3-4 weeks seems like a reasonable enough amount of time to put your eval together and get to a committee meeting and considering the holidays throw a little extra time in there and TADA, you should have a hold notice by the 12th of January.

 

[hung]

i can't believe that i got in this early as an oos. congrats to everyone that got in and good luck to everyone still waiting. i really hope to have you guys as classmates. 🙂

no worries, I'm in the same spot as you. I interviewed on oct 1st though, so I have about 2'ish weeks on you. I think I'm going to try to get some more clinic volunteering in before the February announcement. what do you folks think?

[I Doctor]

Has there been anybody who was eligible to be accepted Oct 16 who wasn't, and then was accepted Dec 16? If so pleaseee let me knoww

Also, anybody know or have any indication of how many people they accept off of the waitlist?
