anybody else can't wait for tomorrow? according to earlier posts, they should start letting people know about acceptances

I'm so excited/nervous/anxious I can't even focus on studying for my final tomorrow...at least if I get in, failing won't hurt so much lol

Yeah, I've thought about it several times today. My finals are over, so I can afford to not be focused! 🙂

Good luck tomorrow, haha.

If you don't get a call please don't get discouraged. I interviewed last year in November and I didn't get the famous phone call til end of February. So don't freak out if you don't get it. 🙂 I am excited because tomorrow is our last final and we will be half way through our first year of medical school yeyyy 🙂

I interviewed the 23 of November...and you're right, this whole semester has been so crazy for me, it's a wonder I haven't failed anything. As for hearing back, idk...anything goes!

I just hate the waiting. I tend to be impatient so I know I'll be checking my phone a million times tomorrow anyway. GL on your final!

Look for the 909 area code! Also I hope this doesn't sound bad, but from last year's acceptance calls, most went out to students who applied from some of the major Adventist undergrad schools, so if you aren't from those schools and don't get called, don't take that as a bad sign.

Our last final is gonna go great tomorrow because you have the greatest lab partner ever 😉

thanks for the info! that actually makes me feel a little better. I don't attend an Adventist undergrad so if I don't get called, I won't freak out...as much

 

[Salient]

Hmm. I flunked out of an SDA undergrad once, does that count? 😀

I also just got a call from the 909 🙂 Very excited! I interviewed on the 7th, Christian, but non-SDA.
Congrats to everyone else who got the call!

 

[fishsticks2629]

D1AA not a major school but still competitive. Got to start as a freshman so it was fun. Yea I am a SDA.

 

[SimplyMars9]

yup, I'm SDA

 

[SimplyMars9]

I hope my fellow SDAs had a lovely Sabbath!

Anyway...
I just may be jumping the gun here, but I'm 10000000% sure I will attend LLU next fall, barring any unforeseeable extraordinary events...

Sooooo...I made an FB group for the LLUSOM class of 2015 lol It'll be fun to meet future classmates and scout for roommates if needed.

Does anyone know if they are still sending out invites for interviews for Jan and Feb? I am out of the country so I can't check my mail to see if I have an offer. It's really frustrating that LLU doesn't do email.

Judging from last years posts, they are definitely still sending out invites.

Got the interview invite in the mail today. It was dated 12/29, so keep your head up those of you still waiting! I'm really excited for LLU, I interviewed last year and never got off the waitlist. It would be so nice to go to a school 10 minutes from where I grew up!

Thanks, while those are better stats than mine, I guess it gives me hope. I appreciate it.

 

[sup3rs4m]

in case anyone is wondering, the deposit is needed within 30 days. the lady i called said she "thinks" its refundable. 😕

 

[thedoctor8706]

Does anyone know when the next round of acceptances will go out? I feel like I should know because I am here, but I have no idea 😳 Maybe I will go ask on Monday lol

I stopped by the other day to drop off my deposit, and caught a glimpse of Mrs. Edwards carrying a huge stack of manilla folders into her office and sitting down behind them. I have no idea how that relates to the next round of acceptances, but it looks like they're still up to their ears in applications 😀

I got an invite today as well!

GPA > 3.5
MCAT < 30
Ca resident
Christian but not SDA

I think i was complete late September or early October.

Fellow SDNers. I have been interviewing quite a bit and have a couple of acceptances. So unfortunatly I am running low on funds. However, I would love to interview here. But before I make the financial commitment can some of those who have already interviewed tell me something special/unique about your interview experience? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

but seriously, im really excited about this interview.


*** EDIT ***

has anyone had trouble getting through to someone in admissions. Im trying to set up my interview, but none of the phones are being answered...

 

[thedoctor8706]

Well I stopped in the School of Medicine office yesterday because I actually had some legit business to do, but towards the end, I slipped in the question of the acceptance call time table... to which they "weren't sure of at this time." Hmmmm, oh well I tried lol.

But seriously if you guys take up all the spots before some certain people I know get accepted, I'll be irritated. Haha jk... sort of

BTW Salient, awesome avatar 😛

Thanks! I got the idea from you, haha.

Also, congrats guys on your interviews 🙂

Re: Badancil, just keep trying. It's a small staff in the office, so perhaps you were unlucky with your timing.
