finally updated:
As of March 15, 2013, we have .....
Received 884 AMCAS applications
Received 715 Supplementary applications
Interviewed 463 applicants
Made 100 offers
(Generally it takes 100-125 offers to fill a class)
well thats not good.
Does anyone know if they will tell you where you sit on the waitlist? Like what third?
no idea- you could call and ask- worst that will happen is they'll say they can't provide/ don't have that info. . .
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was more of an alternate list than a waitlist (which might explain why there is no ranking).
Just got an acceptance off the waitlist in the mail!!!! I think I blacked out for a few seconds haha.
How long does one stay on the waitlist? Is there a certain date by which they will send a rejection/acceptance or can they leave you uninformed until August of this year? I know UNC SOM said that their waitlist is active until August 5th this year. Just curious if it is the same for ECU.
Thanks for the response!You will remain on the alternate list at ECU until the Fall semester starts (I believe M1 orientation begins on August 5). At that point, you will get a letter that lets you know that the semester has started, so there is no more opportunity to get off the list.
Hang in there - movement should pick up as May 15 approaches!
So...
3.6 GPA (Top 20 University on USNews)
34 MCAT
EMT-I 2 years and still active
Months of shadowing
Medical volunteer trip out of the country
2 Research publications
...REJECTED back in February LOL
It's ok. UNC SOM disagreed.
ECU rejects tons of applicants with stats similar to yours.. as it's been said before they stress the fit of the applicant to the school far more than stats of the applicant. The interview review process is very thorough and the stat list from your primary application that you just listed is only one piece. The reputation of the school grows every year, we're a young school compared to the others in NC but proving ourselves in big ways. If I'm not mistaken, our step1 avg was higher than UNC and Wake again according to US News and our match list was fantastic.. The backgrounds our students come from never ceases to amaze me and the initiatives they've started outside the classroom are groundbreaking for North Carolina. No matter what your stats are, a sense of entitlement to be accepted doesn't help your chances..

Congratulations! I know you've been waiting a while, so I'm glad your patience paid off.
accepted!!! aaah!
Congratulations!! This is great!thanks guys- will be making the short trip down to greenville in a week or two to orient myself and think about housing- this is all so much easier than moving halfway across the country!
I have the same question. I sent an email to the financial aid office about the timeline. If I hear anything I will share. Maybe someone already heard something about the financial aid offers?I was wondering about that too. Anyone receive their financial aid packet yet?
Just updated today. A few more offers have gone out...hoping a few are recent and in the mail. Anyone hear anything?

There is still hope. I just received an acceptance letter this week dated 5-24!! Totally unexpected! See y'all in a few months!Thanks for the encouragement Matt...Cruising through the old threads your posts have been a lot of help. I am on my second cycle hoping to grab a spot a lot like you last year. Seems this year they are a little ahead a schedule as far as offers out at this point...but hopefully they will end out giving more than last year. Nothing to do but hold tight...
