Okay guys... I just called and apparently there was a computer glitch (!!!). I don't know about everyone else, but they said that I was NOT rejected, and everyone whose file had been read was sent a rejection because of this glitch. I was told to check back in a few hours, and that the problem should be fixed by then. GL to everyone that all these rejections were just a result of the computer goof, not because of actual rejection!

You are right. I recently received the following via e-mail:

"

Greetings-

I am writing to alert you to the fact that our admissions system has been experiencing technical difficulties that is causing an incorrect message to be displayed when you login to the Online Applicant Center. The message currently states that your file is no longer under consideration and this is incorrect. We are working with AMCAS on this issue and the corrected status should return shortly. I apologize for any confusion or concern this may have caused.

Your status should read:

"Your file is complete and has been preliminarily reviewed. You are within a pool of applicants from which an interview may be extended. Please note that this does not guarantee you will be offered an interview and you may not see an update to your status for several months. Interviews are held on most Tuesdays and Thursdays between mid-September and mid-April. You will be notified via email if you have been selected to interview."

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience, confusion (and stress!) this may have caused and we appreciate your interest in UVM.

Sincerely,

Tiffany Delaney
Director of Admissions

Thank god for SDN. "Rejected" but I'm not worried about it, thanks to Teddy Bear Doc!!!!
 
To everyone who got rejected today:
First, take a deep breath. The rejections we all got today were caused by a computer glitch. I found this out when I called to inquire why I was rejected. The secretary looked me up by my AMCAS ID and was very sorry about all the confusion.
She said it will be cleared up in a few hours, thankfully. So don't give up how yet!

I am just speculating, but maybe the incorrect code they typed into their computers and caused all this, was actually supposed to be the interview offer code:xf:
 
At least its better than getting an interview invite and having them take it back.
 
Dumb question: does everyone get pooled? That would probably defy the purpose but it seems that everyone does.
 
Maybe they'll invite all of us who were rejected for interviews to make up for it. Please 😛.
 
hmmmm i smell something fishy about this "rejection" then e-mail correction. Sounds to me like all us pooled applicants will receive the actual rejection in a few months, but that UVM doesn't want to send rejections this early....why would they already have this rejection typed out? Especially since they haven't even rejected anyone yet and just pooled everyone.

you do bring up a good point ronaldo; however, there have been many in the past who were pooled that ended up receiving interviews/acceptances. so i'm going to take the benefit of the doubt and say that it was some type of error. we'll have to wait and see, hahaha.

have faith my friend
 
I don't think it's that surprising they have the email typed out. I'm sure they probably use the same one/a similar one every year. And it's not outside the realm of possibility that they have already rejected some people. Patience is key in this process.
 
Dear UVM,
You had me flipping my **** for about an hour and a half.
Thanks,
Sustentacular

that's true. I'm really if curious if they have rejected some people. I mean, would they really go out of there way to pool a 3.0/25 MCAT applicant just to be nice?
 
If this is also due to a glitch, it's hilarious. Not cool how they're messing with people like that. I know it's not on purpose, but that's not right. If you made equivalent of these types of mistakes on your app, you'd never get in. :laugh:
 
did you get another email saying you were?

No, I saw the rejection after I got the email this morning...but as of right now, I'm in a pool..so I'm guessing I'm...literally in the pool. They may as well reject me already. This application didn't give me any room to tell them how much I sincerely want to go to their schoool. Le sigh.

Wasn't there a free answer field for anything you wanted to tell them?
 
This was my first interview and I called my parents. :cry:

I love this school too - I am hoping it's real!
 
Glad to see i wasnt the only who got the fake reject email today lol.

Least its sorted out now
 
Weird, all this fake rejection/interview stuff and my status hasn't changed all day. Maybe a bad sign.
 
anyone have any idea if they offer the option of staying with a student host?

Yes! Student hosting will be available beginning Sept 8th? The student committee is gathering information from current students as we speak on who wants to host. I, personally, will be hosting, but I'll wait for the school to officially inform me on who I will be hosting (rather than sdn).

Omg thank you SO much...you just saved me $200 from booking a hotel so i cannot thank you enough! Who should I contact to set that up? Thanks again!!!

I would contact Tiffany Delaney or email the office of admission next week about student hosting (maybe next Wed). If they have enough students, I'm sure they will provide you a list of students willing to host soon.
 
It's really a 20% chance of getting out of this pool? :shrug:

I definitely need to get on this as well 🙂
 
So is anyone interviewing on the 30th? If anyone wants to carpool (I'll be coming from Philly) and/or split hotel rooms, let me know!
 
Just received an interview invite, complete 8/6, OOS. It's a pleasant surprise since I never got the "pooled" status, just the preliminary review. Hopefully it's not one of the glitches that they've been having lately.

Congrats man--hope it is legit!

I just wish they'd either reject me or invite me already! I didn't think I was that "bad" of an applicant that they wouldn't want to at least see me early on..I mean, I submitted pretty early. Probably is indicative of a pending rejection at the end of the cycle lol.
 
^^^I know the feeling. I think they dislike my many speeding tickets...

Just got an interview invite too and I immediately thought, oh great their computer system is playing a dirty dirty trick on me again.

Complete 6/30, pooled just last week, OOS

How does it notify you of the pool on the status site? Does the little message change?
