I've basically already given up and shifted into Improve-app-for-next-year mode, but some small part of me foolishly keeps checking my email and this thread to see when the last Interview invites go out.

In the upper half of the upper third, hoping to hear acceptance soon!
I have a question about it though that I forgot to ask REL on the phone and he might be the only one who can answer this but here goes: I am OOS so does that make it harder to get off the "list" and get accepted? Will I only get a spot in the class if someone else OOS drops their spot or could it be anyone ( this being after all interviews are over and decided)? Thanks!
Pre-interview rejection today, complete mid-October. In state, stats around UCF's averages. Best of luck to everyone still in the game, I have heard amazing things about UCF!
Hmmmm...end of the week and no rejection or interview...still praying for an interview here...but if the last interviews went out this week i guess it's too late.
I didn't hear anything either, so I'm still hoping lol. Did anyone else hear anything in the way of an interview or pre-interview rejection.
For those of you already accepted, was anyone able to find the facebook group for our class?
Hm... I haven't received an invite or a rejection letter. Several of my friends have received rejections, so I find it kind of weird not hearing anything yet. Is anyone else in the same boat?
I'm still right there with you. What day of the week does REL usually call for invites?
He usually does not call on Monday's or Friday's. From what he has told me, they have two more interview days to fill out with about ~5 total offers remaining. He hopes to be done tomorrow, but certainly by Thursday.
About 10 have been successful, but it evidently takes some digging since it is a new and smaller group.....
Thanks for the reply REL...
You would think the search function would allow you to find the group by searching for the exact group name though..... It seems i am not as facebook savvy as i would like 🙁 lol

Please search again for UCF COM Class of 2015
REL,
Thanks for keeping us informed.
my interview got moved from this weekend to march 11th, should I be worried?
thanks for the insight,

Nothing to worry about, we keep open seats all the way through so you will interview for an open seat. The day was cancelled because of a meeting this Friday which needs admissions participation.

Are there anymore interview offers remaining?![]()
I'm wondering the same thing, eek!! I'm in the same boat as you FloridaMD3 and looneytune too. I counted 4 of us that posted on here that still haven't been officially rejected for an interview yet. I'm hoping for good news for all of us!!!![]()
UCF makes sure that each interviewee right up to the last date gets a fair shot at a seat in the medical school. They tend to score you and based on where you score vs. other applicants will determine whether you get a seat right away or otherwise your position on the wait/hold list. If people who interview after you score higher then you, you can be bumped lower on that waitlist, if they score lower you can be bumped higher or you can also potentially remain roughly the same position. So my understanding is that people who interviewed before who are higher on that rank list can potentially be pulled off if no one from the new interview group ranks higher then them. if the people from the new interview group rank higher they can potentially get accepted. Rel has stated that roughly 7 people are getting accepted each admit meeting from earlier posts on here.
you will have a fair shot whether you interview day number one or u are the last interview date as March 11th was supposed to be but may no longer be.
Good luck and don't fret. There are lots of people I know who have gotten into various med schools even with very, very, very late interviews and lots of people I know who had really early interviews and went to the very bottom of the waitlist or rejected. So interviewing earlier doesn't mean they necessarily like you more then a later interviewee or are going to fill their whole class up before the rest of the pool is done interviewing. Good luck
Guju,
I think you should know that its nice to see an encourager and a socially adept person on here. Thanks for being a ray of sunshine on these florida threads. I hope you get your spot at UCF for sure.

What would be more badass is if some of SDN posters end up together as classmates. 🙂
I hope at least one of us gets an invite so that someone on SDN can say they got one of the last invites, if not the last, for UCF. Good luck guys.
sighhh no interview for me 🙁 good luck to everyone else!!!
Did you get a rejection email? I got a call from a 407 number, but it was a wrong number 🙁 Oh cruel world, lol. I still haven't heard anything either.

Fact is if they wouldn't let them graduate from a US institution if it is not LCME accredited and an MD school. No MD school would be able to operate in the US that is not LCME accredited. And in fact, the graduation of a first charter class is part of what completes the accreditation process. So if anything upon graduation they will have finished the 5th phase of accreditation and now be on contract for an 8 year agreement as a fully accredited school.
This is in fact the reason why the first few classes were the most critical to choose because they represent the people who will help bring full accreditation to the school.

I recently received the rejection email. I would have loved being at UCF. Best of luck to all of you.
I just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know that your file will be reviewed tonight at the Admissions Committee meeting, but that the Admit Meeting for you has been changed to March 3 due to the LCME visit last week. I wish you well.

I am glad that this was brought up guju and i agree with everything u said... But, are omc and fl hospitals as prestigous residency programs as shands at uf? Also are they really considered full blown teaching hospitals like shands or jackson? These are things i was wondering and thinking about and talkng with my fam about tue last few days
I have been working at Florida Hospital for several years. Can I go anywhere and people know what Florida Hospital is? No. Shands? There is a chance. But think about what you want to do in the future. Do you want to go into an ultra competitive field? Shands may be best. Do you want to do family practice? Florida Hospital would be much better for that. PM me if you want to know anything specific about Florida Hospital.
I was accepted to UCF COM! Thanks so much to Rel and all the staff and volunteer faculty!
