Well guys, they're preparing to look at the alternate list. Got this e-mail this morning. Compared to last year, this e-mail is a week early, and 2 weeks-ish early compared to two years ago. Here's the e-mail if anyone's curious:
"Dear Applicant,
As you know, your file is complete and the Committee on Admissions has assigned you a position on the alternate list.
Please update your contact information on the attached form and on your AMCAS application. Be sure to include your AMCAS ID number on any correspondence. Submit any new facts such as grades, test scores, or other changes to the committee so that information may be included in your file. If you wish to withdraw your application, please e-mail the office at
[email protected].
Please remember that our committee evaluated you based on your interview, academic record, MCAT performance, letters of evaluation, your personal comments, work and research experience, relevant extracurricular activities, and any other accomplishments of a non-scholastic variety. The committee wishes to emphasize that you were chosen as an alternate over numerous able competitors.
As is the case with most medical schools, ours is a rolling admissions process. This means we send offers of acceptance as positions in the class become available. This process continues from October until the early August student orientation. The Committee does not release information as to your rank on the alternate list.
We hope you continue to be interested in attending our School and encourage you to remain flexible as the prolonged admissions process continues throughout the coming weeks.
Committee on Admissions
Saint Louis University School of Medicine"
