Members don't see this ad.

Axed via snail mail this afternoon. Good luck to all still in it, looks like we'll be moving.

 

[doctorc88]

Rejected. Looks like were moving to Vermont. Where are you guys headed?

 

[etfiedler]

Chicago, unless Dartmouth comes through for me.

 

[doctorc88]

Well congrats you will you have an awesome experience. I'll keep my fingers crossed for Dartmouth. Interviewing in September made that letter definitely unexpected but I'm looking forward to a new and exciting change.

 

[ipoo]

rejected!!

was going to withdraw anyway

[Bradalay]

Got my rejection yesterday. To those still in the mix, Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor -

 

[HealDreamer]

Such as....opening more seats overall in the medical school?

🙂

 

[chem29]

Has anyone had a status update on their application page this morning?

 

[jbalinor]

Has anyone had a status update on their application page this morning?

I was just wondering that meself.

 

[thatguyfromutah]

I was just wondering that meself.

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one obsessing over this today.

 

[chem29]

Dr. Samuelson said "No news is good news" at this stage. Saw him Saturday. He also said the adcom is meeting one last time this Tuesday.

 

[BustaE]

Should I update the school with my grades from last semester or is that looked down upon? They have probably already made their decision regarding my admission which is the main reason I haven't sent them in.

 

[cougardiver]

No indeed. You are not alone. You are in good company 🙂

 

[cougardiver]

Should I update the school with my grades from last semester or is that looked down upon? They have probably already made their decision regarding my admission which is the main reason I haven't sent them in.

At this point, not worth it. They "accept" updates, but the admissions committee "does not see them." I would update only if you get in. They seem big on trusting/requiring you to complete the outlined course of study you proposed in the application.

 

[BustaE]

Thanks for the quick reply

 

[cougardiver]

Dr. Samuelson said "No news is good news" at this stage. Saw him Saturday. He also said the adcom is meeting one last time this Tuesday.

Awesome...thanks for sharing.

Anyoneknow what time of day the committee's meetings are? (ie, will we see status updates on Tuesday or Wednesday for the decisions made at Tuesday's meeting?)

 

[rbrobbins]

Has anyone had a status update on their application page this morning?

no status update today, but also no mail so I'll take that as a glimmer of hope for right now.

 

[Chirality]

Same boat for me....no status update, and no mail....still hope it seems hehe

 

[littleman25]

Hey all,

Littleman25-ID-October- 26 March: Waitlist via snail mail. Looks like colorado for me! Good luck to everyone else!

Good luck everyone. Keep living the dream!

 

[crazysciencekid]

Hi all, have been viewing this thread intensely lately and finally decided to sign up.
Just found out today that I was waitlisted. So for the roll that would be:
crazysciencekid-ID-February-March 26th-postal
Utah is definitely my top choice and I hope all those ID applicants who plan on going elsewhere can withdraw their names. Anyone have any idea about waitlist statistics for ID applicants? Thanks!

Do they reveal your rank on the letter?

 

[crazysciencekid]

Do they reveal your rank on the letter?

They don't reveal your rank. They say you are given a rank, but it is kept secret...not sure why. I haven't been able to see from past years how many ID applicants get in off the waitlist, but I am hoping at least a few.

 

[jbalinor]

Well you don't have to worry about me--

Rejected today. ID applicant.

Good luck! Glad I got into MCW!

 

[rbrobbins]

For those of you were where accepted, was your status updated early in the day or throughout the day?

 

[rbrobbins]

Also, does anyone know how many people were interviewed this year?

 

[GrabSomePine]

Grab some pine, meat! Rejected! Today, no change on the portal.

 

[cougardiver]

Also, does anyone know how many people were interviewed this year?

In late Feb I was told 550 by the admissions office.

 

[Franks12]

Anyone heard anything today? Good or bad?

 

[cougardiver]

Anyone heard anything today? Good or bad?

Nothing yet, but my mail should be here any minute...I'll call my wife...

Anyone know what time the adcom meetings happen? Are they AM or PM or evening?

 

[cougardiver]

Anyone heard anything today? Good or bad?

OK. My wife just checked the mail. No letter. As was posted earlier, no news is good news. Good luck everyone. What did the mail hold for everyone else?

PS-If you are accepted and plan on matriculating, please be sure to post that information.

Thanks,

 

[rbrobbins]

no news, checked the mail and nothing. Hoping for the best but can't help but feel down with no news, anyone anxious waiting around?

 

[chem29]

Yep -

 

[cougardiver]

anyone anxious waiting around?

Oh yeah...you are far from alone.

I keep debating calling the adcom office to find out when they meet today and what time they expect to post the admissions from the meeting, but then I chicken out...

At least there is SDN to keep me busy. . .

 

[thatguyfromutah]

no news, checked the mail and nothing. Hoping for the best but can't help but feel down with no news, anyone anxious waiting around?

+1

 

[HomerJayBYU]

Hey I made the call to find out about the rumored class-size increase--it's somebody else's turn lol.

 

[rbrobbins]

Did anyone hear anything today or are they just waiting for tomorrow?

 

[Doublthreat]

Seems like we might just be waiting until Friday. I hate how long they take.

 

[cougardiver]

Seems like we might just be waiting until Friday. I hate how long they take.

Technically, waiting until mid to late next week depending on how long the mail system takes.

It is definitely a long wait. Doesn't make sense to me that they want to be the last ones to issue acceptances....odd.

 

[cougardiver]

The online portal seems to be down. Can anyone else replicate the issue? I wonder if they are updating it...

 

[mlnlb]

Same here. The online portal is not loading. I wonder what is happening?

 

[mlnlb]

I think I'm going to go vomit somewhere.

 

[cougardiver]

I think I'm going to go vomit somewhere.

You never know...it could just be the IT guy messing with all the crazy applicants who can't do anything except hit F5 all day...

 

[MussMan]

What do you think? Could this mean that they are doing a mass update to applicant portals? I am wiggin' out...

 

[cougardiver]

I am wiggin' out...

As are we all...post your stats and let us add you to the roll call (see above)

 

[mlnlb]

Yeah mussman, lurker...lurker!

 

[cougardiver]

OK....portal's back up...did anyone's status change? Mine is the same as before...

 

[Epicdr]

still the same...
