I'm another who did not use a committee letter this cycle and was accepted.
Have you used a committee letter in the past, though?
Aaaaaand NFA.
Have you used a committee letter in the past, though?
I just recently had my interview a few weeks ago and this is what Dr. Eubanks told us..
- They met this past Friday and will mail out acceptance letters Tuesday and no further action letters Wednesday of this week. This mail out will be their biggest acceptance mail out bc they have to offer the rest of their spots (about half)
Hope this helps
E-Packets are out!
Ok guys, I just called admissions. I interviewed on Feb 14. She said they won't send a letter every time they meet and that I should get a letter in May. So I'm pretty sure that that means that it will either be a wait list letter or an acceptance letter. Hope that helps for all of you in my same situation.
Below is my understanding from my own experience of previously going through the repeated NFA letters and wait list process, and I hope others correct me where I am wrong.
1) My understanding is that by some date, all spots are "offered;" there's been debate here in thread over that date, but I believe most have said March. Even though all spots are offered, some offered spots decline and spots open so acceptance letters continue to roll out until...
2) At some point all spots are accepted, this may be in March or April, I think it varies annually. Even though all spots are accepted, interviews continue because spots will open up after May 1 and people holding multiple spots decline LSUNO.

is it better to meet with Dr. Eubanks or Dr. McClugage to have your application evaluated? i have heard about students who have met with Dr. Eubanks to discuss their chances, and then i hear about others who met with Dr. McClugage to talk about their application and plan. if i wanted to do the same, who should i contact about possibly being evaluated?
I know that almost all of my friends and I ended up meeting with Dr. Eubanks...not sure why.
Nothing yet from NO, but I got a call from Shreveport today! I really wanted to stay clos to home at NO though. When do I have to fully commit to s school?
No repercussions either way. They're just donating their time (they are unpaid) interviewing people
I was such a good interviewer that I had interviewers writing me Thank you letters.

I don't think something as trivial as a thank you note has any effect on this decision, considering all the other factors that go into this like grades, recs, volunteering, interview, etc. At the same time, depending on the tone of the letter and if it doesn't come across as obvious brown-nosing, I think it's a nice gesture. Just don't expect any pay off from it, and if the tone of your letter is off the mark I think it could raise some questions to a more cynical interviewer. Some of them have been doing this for awhile and I think by this point their BS meter is finely tuned. I just look at it as sort of a "can't help you, can hurt you" scenario.
For a job interview in the real world, I think it's definitely favorable (almost required) to write a quick TY note, and I'd think the same rules apply for residency interviews because that is basically a job interview. But applying to med school =/= job interview, so those formalities don't apply IMO.
Maybe because he's the one that mainly does that. Also because he can probably give constructive criticism without making you feel worthless like Dr McClugage. But I really have no idea how Dr McClugage is regarding admissions - I've only dealt with him in the anatomy lab.
Dr. McCluggage was one of my interviews. I loved the guy. Though, I have heard that to the unprepared he comes off as a bastard. He definitely isn't an "every man's man" the way that Dr. Eubanks is.
Does anyone know when the next committee meeting will be?
