I just wanted to thank everyone for keeping us updated on their status. I have been following the thread off and on for the past two months, and I especially appreciate those updates regarding information from the admissions office. In case anyone is wondering, here is a little about my own situation:
- I finished my secondary application right around the deadline (was it Nov. 15th?).
- I received an interview invitation in the first week of January 2012.
- I interviewed February 9th; it went amazingly.
- My first interview was with a first year surgeon, fresh out of USUHS. She said she also interviewed in mid-February, and obviously was accepted.
- I received my Waitlist letter (regular mail) April 19th (Wisconsin) and it was dated April 13th. Yes, they send notifications on a biweekely schedule, around the 1st and 15th.
- I emailed admissions about my Change of Service request that day, and never received a reply. I emailed them a couple of days later to verify they received it, and I received a response that was literally, "Yes, we received your letter."
I think they are just swamped with applicants right now. When I interviewed they told us there is a huge pool of applicants and the past few years the waitlist hasn't moved as much as previous years (commented on 9/11 and the bad economy)...
For those of you who have been accepted, what method of communication did admissions use to contact you?
