Just got the acceptance call tonight! Very pumped about this school.
They must be overaccepting at this point.
Update sent with mid term grades and a few zingers that express my continued interest. I am hoping to stir them up a bit and get them to look over my forgotten application again.
Did you send a pre-interview letter of interest? Did it help any? I applied to all my schools late but I had my eyes on this one (as well as a few others) for a while now. I'm wondering if giving them an update will draw some attention to my app before it's forgotten.
I sent a pre-interview loi, got an interview invite 4 days later. To be fair, I was already in final review, but I am certain it didn't hurt.
Hi everyone! My application has been under review for a few months now and I haven't heard anything. If we get rejected w/o an interview do we get informed immediately thru the website under our App Status or it may stay under review until May?
did you send your loi via email? or through the update option in the application software?
When does FAU handout merit scholarships? Are they included with the offer of admission? Just wondering if I'm out of the running or if there's still a chance.
Got an interview invite after being complete since Oct 11. 32 and 3.9 - Now to decide which dates. I think I'll really like it.
I was stuck with that status from August until December, when I received an interview invite out of the blue! Don't give up hope!Has anyone else been stuck in preliminary review for a few months? I was complete in August, but my status has never gone past preliminary review. I'm OOS, though, which might be why.
Waitlist only at this point -- that's what they said when I interviewed several days agoDoes anyone know if there are spaces still open at FAU or are all future interviews for waitlist only? I will be interviewing there next week.
Thanks

Any idea whether it will be specified if we are on the "accepted alternate" list? I realize probably not, but I thought I would askIt is indeed waitlist only, but they have a separate waitlist they are calling "accepted alternate list" which basically means that you are at the very top of the waitlist and extremely likely to land a seat if/when accepted applicants decide to go elsewhere.
Your status online will not differentiate, but you will be told in your status letter if you are on the accepted alternate list or not!Any idea whether it will be specified if we are on the "accepted alternate" list? I realize probably not, but I thought I would ask
It basically means that you are at the very top of the waitlist. You are as close to being admitted as a person can be without having an official offer, and are extremely likely to be offered a seat in the next few months. Congrats!Just got an email that said "Accepted Alternate at FAU C.E.S. College of Medicine" in the subject line.
It says "Being placed on the Alternate List means that you have met all the requirements for application and the Committee has voted to accept you; the reason for your placement is that the Class of 2017 (entering in August of 2013) is temporarily full. As you know many seats become available as other applicants decide on their school of choice and withdraw from the others. While there are no guarantees, I am pleased to inform you that national stats show that a high percentage of the Class comes from the Alternate List."
I assume this is different from the regular wait list? It seems different.
My application has been at preliminary review started since the middle of November! Should I give them a call? I even had an update 4 weeks ago, and it didn't change. Why no love FAU!
I interviewed on January 22nd and my status online has changed to "alternate". I have yet to receive an e-mail. Does anyone know if this indicates being on the "accepted alternate" list?
I absolutely LOVE this program and am so hoping I end up being accepted!

Ah, I see. In that case, I'll be giving up my II that I received this morning. Sent in my secondary in early Sept, so don't lose hope if you've been waiting a while!
Hi,Is there a second look weekend for FAU? Does anyone know the date?
hi everyone.. how were you notified of your decision? they told us on our interview day that we should know by today. should i expect an email or call or should i just keep checking my status online?
so nervous!
