nobody else freaking out that we should hear back in a few hours maybe???
oh i'm right there with you. There's also a decent chance we've guessed wrong and today is not an acceptance day too, so idk, I'm just trying to not go crazy.
Today should be the day
they called around 1030 denver time. when is that east coast time? which two hours does it lag? Are we ahead or are they?
One more minute!
so, is it time to panic yet? Should i go home and down half a handle of jack?

I'm thinking of adding a couple schools. Anyone know if it makes sense to apply to Colorado or are interviews wrapping up here soon?
start to panic immediately
I wouldn't lose sleep over it. CU seems to be a bit unpredictable. Two years ago, one of my close friends interviewed in October and wasn't notified of his acceptance until MARCH. By then he had already begun making arrangements to attend another school. And no, he was not waitlisted before being notified of his acceptance. In fact, we were told this could happen during our interviews. Something to do with their extensive re-review process (if they don't fall in love with you right away)...
That said, CU is great and I hope that doesn't happen to any of you!
This is really sad and disheartening I think because even if CU is your first choice, and your interview goes great, but if you get into another med school among your top choices before CU, you would inevitably begin making arrangements to attend there by the time CU gets back to you FIVE months later in March, telling you you're in. By then, your interest in cu probably has waned due to their inexplicably dragged on admissions process and you're probably excited about setting up housing and mentally preparing to attend another school you were accepted at much earlier. I think cu loses some great candidates in this way. Also, accepting less than 15 candidates per month with a majority in march hardly qualifies as rolling to me.
Yup, their process is definitely less than ideal.
Those who interviewed on Saturday, do you remember when Dimple said the first acceptances will go out for us?
I'm going neurotic!!
Welcome to the SDN Family
I would say I'm "getting" neurotic as well, but I'm pretty sure I started that way. REALLY want to hear something about acceptances! LOVED CU!
I get neurotic every time I read this thread. Otherwise I"m fine.Any news about acceptances? I'm going neurotic!!
In past years, Colorado had a dean that felt 500 hours of patient care experience was preferable. They have a new dean now, and I haven't heard that the "policy" had changed, but only that there was no longer a statement of preference.

Not that I mean to create any additional Colorado neuroticism, but does anybody know if this unwritten policy is still in effect? Does everybody here have enough patient care experience to get into Colorado?

I'll probably end up calling the school to see if I should send an "update" letter with this information hoping to get me an interview.
They don't accept updates and are very adamant about not sending them updates of any kind.
I'm wondering if anyone knows about Montana/Wyoming students. While we're considered instate I imagine we aren't given as high of preference as say an actual IS student.

Thanks...I have only 100 hours of clinical experience but was invited to interview. I'm going to assume now that they are going to ask me about this.Per Dr. Winn, updates are okay POST-interview, although they will NOT be added to your file. (What impact they have, then, is probably questionable, but I do recall him saying that on my interview day.)
Also, in another thread, someone called the admissions office and confirmed that the Sondheimer Rule is still in effect at CU (i.e., 500+ hrs of clinical experience is still expected/strongly suggested of all applicants).

Interview for 12/19, but that's during Finals week for me, so I requested a new date.
