I didn't get that, mine just says complete I guess they aren't considering me for an interview
I haven't gotten that either but I'm not too worried about it (yet).

maybe not right this minute, but you are certainly not out of it. UVM interviewed until the first week of April last year (which i guess would be this year😳).
doesn't your message also say something about waiting up to 10 weeks for the next update?
Anyone else submit the first day and still show "preliminary review"?

I'm scared they looked at it and hated it![]()
when were you complete? did it come via email or did you just check?

......said dramaqueen14.
Sorry, had to go there.
Relax. It's still super early.🙂
I would contact Vermont and see what they say. Many schools want 2 science and 1 non-science professor recommendations... so depending on what vermont says, you might want to consider getting that non-science recommendation somehow. But if they will accept the other LORs, you are good 🙂. It says on the UVM website they want the third letter from a non-science professor and that's what I don't have.
I submitted about 2 weeks ago and still not pooled. I guess they don't like me. I am OOS, but I think there has been some OOS here that has gotten pooled.
Without essays, they don't really allow a chance to highlight your strengths. Bummer.
Pooled! yippee
I got pooled too (OOS applicant)! Yay. I submitted early July and my last reference was in about 10 days ago.
i got a weird UVM information email even though i already applied there. how strange.
Would you mind sharing exactly in July? I'm OOS as well so I'm curious to whether they hate me already. It could be that speeding ticket. LOL. In any case, not a huge deal... just curious.
Small-pooled today. Submitted secondary on 6/30. Don't know about you all but I'm not celebrating yet. "May receive an interview" is pretty neutral news to my ears.

It may not mean much, but we have to make it past this point in order to get to anything better. So it's still worth celebrating... just not too much. lol
I sent my AMCAS app to this school yesterday and recieved the secondary invite a few hours ago. However, after I create an account and log in to the website, I get this:
"We have received word from AMCAS that you have selected to apply to the University of Vermont College of Medicine and are pleased that UVM is among your medical school choices.
We will be emailing you instructions on how to access our online supplemental application over the next few weeks. "
So does this mean I can't fill out the secondary until I get another email?
Sounds like they're saying you can't fill out the 2ndary until your AMCAS is verified (4-6 wks if you submitted yesterday).
Here, here! They had two options... reject or small pool. I am just happy they actually looked at my app and felt good enough to pool me!
I applied last year and you're correct. I sat with the small pooled message for like 6 months until they were no longer interviewing.I hate to rain on the parade but from reading last year's thread it sounds like the "small-pool" message doesn't really mean much. Lots of people seemed to get that message and never get interviewed, and UVM doesn't seem to reject people right away so it's not really small-pool OR rejection. You can get both or you can get neither. Just putting that out there, but if someone has inside info please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you're right, in that the pool message still means you can be interviewed or NOT chosen to interview, but that is clearly stated within the pool message. I think the issue is whether students withOUT the pool message get interviewed or not...
The belief on SDN is that the pooled message is the "first step" and is "required" in order to get an interview invite.
Congratulations! My status has yet to change.

Exactly. We all read the status update that told us we were small pooled and that we were not promised an interview. We are just glad to have gotten past this small step considering that not getting pooled would be you were outright rejected. If we don't celebrate the small steps, we will go crazy waiting for the big ones! Let us enjoy ourselves and be proud of our small pool. 😀
