I'm an OOR applicant and interviewed recently. Can any OOR interviewees tell me how long after the interview do they notify you of your acceptance/rejection?
 
Hey, just got the reject letter today. It said something to the extent of "you have many fine qualities as an applicant, but unfortunately the pool for next years class is very competitive and we cannot offer you a spot in the alternate list either."

Looks like I better start studying for the LSAT and talk to my dad about joining his firm

JK, but good luck to all.
 
Does the UC email mean your excom member was present at the last meeting but no decision was made? Or could it also mean that your member wasn't there to present your file?

Just got my first UC email today, interviewed 12/20.

It could mean either of those things. Good luck! :luck:
 
Just got my first SUC email 🙁

I was hoping to get in here as the only other school I interviewed at gave me a similar email about deferring decisions.. Now I'm freaking out about having to plan what to do next year and reapplying. Only 46% who receive the SUC email get in 🙁 being an OOR probably doesn't help at this point.

/whine and panic
 
SUC for me as well.....it looks like they changed the letter slightly based on what I read. Although I'm pretty sure in my case now that I'm a legit SUC applicant (not one where my EXCOM member wasn't present) since I interviewed over a month ago and this is my second one.
 
Second UC for me... did anyone get the better type of news today?

Hey, no worries. A year off did me a world of good as far as my sanity goes. Just remember, there is no rush. It's nice to take a breather

This +1, its not the end of the world - quite beneficial for me actually. Although I'm ready to start school now 🙂 lets hope they think so too
 
SUC here as well... extremely anxious at this point. I guess there's only 2 months left to wait.
 
Anyone who have been complete in mid-November received an interview invite? I have been complete last Nov 18 and still no word from the Admissions office. Thanks!

Good luck from a fellow OOR applicant that is SUC as well! We've made it so far yet we have to get through that last hurdle...
 
Rejected this morning. Didn't bother with an interview.
IS. Reason: Not enough worldy experience - I guess my month in South Africa talking to AIDS patients wasn't enough for them. Oh well... I wasn't to keen on going here anyway after reading about how the admissions process has been going this year... :\

When you get rejected, do people get an email or a letter in the mail?

I've been complete since Nov 8th and haven't heard anything either! And I'm IS too. Don't know what's going on.

Still hoping for interview invite as an OOR. Getting secondary was a huge plus, but havent heard anything in a while. Seems to be getting late in the game, any thoughts?
 
I'm still waiting on an interview and I was complete Nov 18 too, IS. I was interviewed in 2010 and 2011 so I think it is likely I will get an invite, they must just be running behind this year.
I have 6 DO interviews and one MD in the next 4 weeks so I'll have good practice of I get invited.

Interview Invite! now this is exciting as an OOR applicant
 
has anyone who got ii on 04 Jan received precise date and time of your interview? just curious
 
Anyone from Montana interview this past week in Bozeman....if so, has anyone heard anything about the TRUST program?

I'm also curious about this 🙂 - the email said ASAP, but maybe they're having some difficulty solidifying a schedule? In any case, I'm grateful for an interview and will wait patiently.

To the Idahoans who interviewed in Boise last week, hope it went well! Save some spots for us who preferenced Seattle as an interview site!
 
3rd SUC here on Jan 11 as well-

Does anyone know for sure whether the adcom meets twice a month now?

This is nerve racking.. This a new reason to get deferred in UW. Wow, does this mean even you are so prepared you'll still have difficulties getting accepted because the pool is very competitive? Wow I guess, this year's pool is so competitive! :scared:
 
How long was your update letter? Mine might be longer than a page single spaced. :/

Ha! Save some of it and write them another letter in a couple of weeks- it gives you a great excuse to keep bringing your name up with them : )
 
Have any Washington TRUST applicants who got the interview invite on January 4th received any information about the specific date of their interview? Just curious . . . I'm starting to get a little anxious here!
 
Is anyone else still waiting for interview and complete from November (IS)?
Its strange because the last two years they sent invites within a month or so of completion. I applied to DO schools a month after MD programs and have received interviews and acceptances for DO but MD programs in general seem slower than usual this year.
 
Gah! Got financial aid email and gave me a heart attack, I suppose everyone gets these lol
 
Curious if it was specific for WWAMI people? Haven't seen anything for financial aid come through my inbox yet. I am starting to wonder when they'll send out info...

I was hoping it was sent to accepted applicants 🙂 but it specifically says "prospective AND accepted applicants" just keeping in mind deadlines for fin aid I guess

Edit: just got my SUC email pretty much right after the financial aid email. Idaho applicant

Didn't get any emails from financial aid either, maybe it was only sent to WWAMI applicants.

IS. Complete late October. Invited for January 17th interview on January 7th.
 
Got my denial too. (WA resident). Did yours say anything interesting about improving your application? I think mine's a little bit generic.

Nothing specific, just too many competitive applicants etc...

Idaho WWAMI applicant (think I interviewed on the same day as you?), got my financial aid and SUC email as well. From what I can tell, we'll for sure hear by February 10th!

Idaho WWAMI also. Just got my SUC as well today. How do you know the 10th?? And has any Idaho students heard good news yet??

According the UW site (and previous year's threads), all Idaho decisions will be made the day following the completion of our interviews. The Seattle interviews for us wrap up on February 9th, so I'm assuming all decisions will go out around the 10th.

I've heard of one or two people from the Boise interviews being accepted.

Do you know how many total Idaho applicants are even interviewed?

I think 80 to 90? They interviewed about 45 in Boise...I would assume they would interview close to the same amount of Idahoans in Seattle here in a couple weeks. Only 20 seats though...oy.

I guess that sounds reasonable. The SUC email said 46% get accepted who make the SUC list. Wonder if that is in total for all applicants or specific to Idaho. I would assume across the whole pool of applicants.
 
Complete 11/23 and got an interview invite yesterday (WA resident). Wooooo!
 
It's all applicants. My SUC email said 46% as well.

Got the financial aid letter today and also sent in a letter of intent + update. Someone wrote back to me saying my letter of intent was added to my app.
