Just so you know, I live in Greenville and would probably receive my letter the quickest. Good luck again to everyone.

Thats what I was going to suggest... that you were on the east side of NC.
I have a friend that got a rejection letter yesterday in the mail in the south-central part of the state.
I wonder if they sent out all rejections first, then everything else after. Just wishful thinking

There's a thread for admitted/future admitted students. Good luck to all

I live 2 hours from Greenville but haven't heard anything yet.
I'm in Raleigh - nothing for me, either.
Triad area too, and scared of what tomorrow brings, but relieved to know something if in fact everything is actually out.
Not to doubt what someone said earlier about all decisions going out, but it seems like there are a lot of people who haven't heard anything on this thread. I know its completely feasible that we could hear tomorrow, but at the same time, why would they send out decision to some people before other if decisions were already made this week?
Maybe the question was misunderstood when it was asked on the phone by the poster above. I know there is a good chance that we'll hear tomorrow or Friday, but its also at least minutely possible that we won't hear anything for a little longer.
I may eat my words tomorrow when I open my mailbox, but I thought I'd at least throw that out there.
Good luck everyone!
Edit: I'll also say that when I called sometime around 2/23 they told me that I did not have a final decision at that time, and I'm pretty sure she told me that they wouldn't look at my file again for at least 2-3 weeks from that point in time. That was about 2 weeks ago.

Relax. Try to remember that worrying doesn't help and that the answer will be the same whether you worry or not.
No news for me.
Unless if you call letters from College Foundation reminding you that loans are due good news. 😛

That sucks, norm. I was up all night preparing myself for the mail coming today, but the idea of waiting until tomorrow is unthinkable! I mean, I've waited since October, and now you want me to wait 24 hours? Impossible!
I have either 3.5 or 27.5 hours of waiting left for me - mail usually hits at 4:00.
Tick, tock, tick, tock . . .

If they sent it out yesterday I think you have a better chance of getting yours today since you said you're in Raleigh. I'm north of Charlotte... so it'd probably take at least two days for me.
We've seen both recent acceptances and recent rejections.
I agree.
I think all three decisions are still possible. Guess we'll see tomorrow hopefully.
Sorry, I forgot.
Undergrad GPA: 3.89
MCAT: 35
First time applicant with good ties to Eastern North Carolina.
Best of luck to those who are still waiting.
Sounding more and more like Brody put the letters in the mail after it was picked up yesterday.
Another day . . .
Another day . . .
Letters did not make it to Raleigh today. . .

My mail hasn't come yet, but I'm in Raleigh, so I'll let you guys know when it's here. That's very disturbing.
I doubt they would send anything bulk mail, and would assume it's going to arrive tomorrow. It's worse knowing they're in the mail.

Maybe the two people that were accepted are the two people who recently reported it on sdn... jus a thought.. maybe the last 13 offers are on the way... you never know.
I don't think we should assume the worst just yet.

So... anyone hear anything today?
Hopefully it'll be here tomorrow... or Sunday will be torture.

Nothing here either.
Just curious what part of the state you're in?
Just got home (Durham) and checked the mail. It came but no letter from ECU. I'm getting tired of this, just switch to email notifications, already!
Sorry for not updating sooner - I have a sick child at home.
Nothing in the mail for me today. The vigil continues. I keep reminding myself that when we interviewed, Dr. Peden told us to pick a date in May for the final answer. Even if it's a week from now, if someone had offered us March 18 as a deadline, we would have taken it.
Trying to stay positive!
Also, I remember that Dr. Peden said that about three dozen or so people would be on the unranked alternate list.
If the class is 78, and it takes 100 - 125 acceptances to fill a class, it appears that if you make the alternate list, you have a pretty good chance of getting in eventually. The numbers that they use would indicate that around 22 people get pulled off the list.
Just more food for thought. . .

I wouldn't think 22 of the 36 get off, because by this time several persons have already rejected ECU, so they will be in the 80+ acceptance range before wait list even begins! I have two friends that have already turned them down.

Nothing form Brody today in Raleigh. Interviewed in late September. I hope something comes tomorrow! Good luck to all.
I think the AAMC mandates that every school has to make the # of offers = (at least) the number of seats by the end of March.
You may know two people who turned them down, but I'd be willing to bet that just like every other school they probably have a fairly large amount of people who are holding several offers at once until the May 15th deadline (the deadline that says they have to make up their mind). I think I've heard the majority of waitlist movement at any school is in mid/late May.
Agreed... Just saying not exactly 76. The exact rule I that every school must have all 76 seats filled, not offered....
Just saw the mail truck in my neighborhood ... I think I'll be sitting by the mailbox for the next few minutes.
How big is your neighborhood, Girl? Mailman was around 1.5 hours ago 🙂
