Yeah, it is different. This class is already divided. 🙂
Are these groups for members that are for sure attending next year?
haha well then i will delay joining one of these three groups until more people are in them just to avoid giving myself away now.
95% sure im going to UC though but not making any commitment for a few months still
Hi guys,
I got alternate listed last week. II on 12/16... anyone have any advice about being on this list? I really want to go to UCinn, so any tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Also been waiting since early october here, but they did send out a wave of rejections in late december I think so I guess there is still hope
Ditto.
I think the dean of admissions said they get a fair amount of their class off the waitlist.
I'm pretty sure he said 80 people come off the wait list. Do you think people that interviewed early ie till december are generally ranked higher on the waitlist than those that received interviews later in the application year?

Yeah. I have been waiting for this since August..no word from them, even after an update letter and added recommendation letter!
Lets see how things work out! All the best people!
I'm in the same boat, complete since 9/28. Considering the recent rejections and the fact that I wasn't one of them, that must be some kind of positive vibe...I hope...
It depends on how many acceptances they've offered so far rather than a set date. On my interview day they said they gave out 290 offers out of a usual of 350. So I think once they've hit that 350ish number, you'll be interviewing for a spot on the waitlist. That's how I understood it, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
What date did you interview?
Also, does anyone know how many days a week they interview? My interview is next Monday but I put myself on standby. Just wondering if there is ANY chance I might get one at the last minute this week.

I interviewed the second week of Jan. Not sure how many days a week they interview though.
It seemed like they interview only on Monday. They also had 2 large groups start at different times because of the MMI for a total of ~32 people.
So apparently as of Jan 9th (Monday) they gave out 290/350ish. My group was told they review ~36 people per week and let them know their status. So they could potentially max out in a week or so, assuming some good batches of interviewees. To all those that haven't interviewed, they have an extremely open admissions process and if u call them they will most likely give u any information they have.
Thanks!
Has anyone who interviewed on Jan 9th, heard anything yet? I know they said some wont hear word until next week, but getting hopeful for news today...
Nope. I was hoping to hear back today too.
Well there is still some daylight left... but I think I will assume we will hear next week.
I don't think they send it out. I remember him saying that if you called and asked, they will tell you.
EDIT:
Thank you for your email regarding the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Alternate List. The Committee on Admissions and Dr. Stephen Manuel, the Assistant Dean of Admissions, will send out information to applications regarding whether they are in the top third, middle third and lower third after May 15th; usually in the later part of May.

For those of you who haven't heard anything, I called today, and they told me that they recently sent out a ton of rejections, and that those of us who haven't heard anything are still being considered for the last batches of interview spots. So,evidently no news is good news at this point.
Thanks for the info. Do you know if they sent it via e-mail or snail mail?

They told me that too. I hope I am in the tp 1/3 as I would love to go there.
And when they were sent? *cringing at the thought that I may come home to yet another rejection letter...*

i'd like to know this too. i never got an email from UC but if it's coming by snail mail i don't wnat to check ;_;
Anyone know how Cincinnati grades? Pass fail or what?
This +1. Anyone? Guessing mail if nobody here reported reject email
They have actual grades, unless this has changed for the incoming classes.
If I remember correctly, they said they are pass/fail for the first two years, but with internal rankings.
Ahh, maybe that was it...
Edit: Well, as I recall they had H/HP/P/??/F the first two years. You can call that pass/fail all you want, but it's still an ABCDF grade (unless they changed it in the last two years).

For those still waiting on an interview: Just called admissions and here is what they told me:
4 interview days left. If you haven't received a "status updated" email yet, then you haven't been rejected (or offered an interview for that matter). If you've been rejected or otherwise it will show on your status page now. If you've heard nothing, you're still in contention for an Interview. They Interview until the end of February. Hope this helps.

I definitely agree. I am not sure I understand the point of having a pass/fail system, unless it is truly pass/fail.
Oh boy! Good luck to all of us who are waiting!
It has changed. P/F for the first two years, but it's ranked.
Still says "Application Complete" for me. I guess that means I am still in contention. I haven't heard anything through email yet.
+1, good luck all
Same here I just check and I have this:
"Your application is complete for the College of Medicine. The College interviews students on a rolling basis. Please realize that some students may not receive word concerning their interview status until March even though they completed their application in the early fall. If you have questions about the application process, please feel free to contact the office.
Application Complete November 1, 2011"
I hope that since I was complete a little late I still have chance. Hang in there everyone

In reference to bolded/italics, this could be true. I have been complete since September 27th.

same here: no emails, same status (complete)... eep!
Didn't some people report rejections at the bottom of the last page in this thread?
I called too and I was told the same. A bunch of rejections went out recently and that we will essentially know by the end of January (7 days !) if we get an II or not. I was told that they interview up till the end of February.
plz oh plz oh plz! I would love to interview here
