I got one hold before the II and another one after the II yesterday. Does your status still say "File Under Review". Mine does.

Yes

 

[stevomcstevo]

Does everyone receive the hold email as their first post interview email? Wondering if maybe the first hold email doesn't include you in the review...

 

[MooCowJoe]

anyone with some info on how many have been accepted already?

I believe they accept 10 each time they meet. So that times however many times they've met so far?

Oh what? That's it? Lol. Well with four hold emails and if its true they send emails every time they accept someone...about 40?

 

[HalMoose88]

At my interview this past Saturday, Tanisha said that each round the # of acceptances can range anywhere from 5-20...and there have been 4 rounds so far.

Has anyone else who submitted in September only received one hold email. I'm getting concerned that I haven't received multiple like everyone else. Perhaps I have already been rejected without being notified?

I am in the same boat as you! I emailed them and they just said "I am still under review"... sigh I hate the waiting!

 

[drkennyj]

For those that have interviewed, what time does the day end here? I am in the 10:45 group and am just wondering if I will be finished in time to make it to my 5:30p flight.

Not sure if you still need an answer but the day ends around 3 unless you want to take the ipad guided tour.

I am also in a similar situation. I interviewed in September and have only received 2/4 of the "not selected but still under review" emails.

I emailed them again to ask how often they go through and review the applications so hopefully it is a good thing we have not received all of them! =)

 

[rjaacd]

FWIW I only received one hold email and then got accepted.

Congratulations!!! And that gives me hope! 😀

Just to make sure you're both on the same page, everyone getting multiple "not selected" or hold e-mails has already interviewed.

Actually, I've received two hold emails and haven't interviewed. Several of us have received these without interviewing. That said, I believe a bunch of people that have interviewed are also getting hold emails.

May I ask when you received both your emails? I received mine on the 8th of November and nothing since then!

Sure! But I can't remember off the top of my head. If you search, I anounced when I received each one earlier in the thread. 🙂 GL!

 

[Guero]

Sent in a combined update and LOI today

 

[sustinamith]

Looks like I'm in the same boat as a few of you. I've been complete since the end of July. I received just one status update saying I'm on pre-interview hold and that's it so far. I hate this wait...

I called the admissions office and they told me they do not accept letters of interest or intent. Only update letters.

I called the admissions office and they told me they do not accept letters of interest or intent. Only update letters.

That's why I always write an update and add an LOI portion as part of the letter. 🙂 After applying to 34 schools, I just couldn't keep up with the nuances of who accepted updates, not LOIs, or vice versa. I could only keep up with the one school that accepted nothing pre-interview.

But thanks for calling. Now that my list has shrunk, I know. LoL

 

[TTJ111]

I would be careful about sending too many updates. If they are not substantive, it is no worth it. They have your file and all the critical info, sending updates doesn't change much. It will just make your neurotic.

Thanks for the advice, as I'm sure most would appreciate it; but in my case, my first update was a first author pub and the second my final grades. 😉 I be knowin what I be doin esse ;p Good luck!

Does anyone know when they stop giving out interview invites? I know the last interviews are in March but how long does they give the interview invites beforehand?

I'd love to know this, too. I'm guessing February?

 

[kplreveal]

does anyone know when the next release of acceptances is?

 

[kopssa]

I don't know anything about acceptances, but I am still waiting for an interview! I submitted in September with only one hold! I would rather interview here than other places I have interviews for... If only you can trade 😉 but I am also guessing mid-February is the latest :/

 

[skais595]

I would guess mid-Feb based on the text of the "hold" email....

"We are unable to extend an interview invitation to you at this time. However, your application remains under consideration and you may be invited for an interview at a later date. Final notification will be sent no later than mid-February."

 

[drkennyj]

My guess is monday the 14th.

I was wondering if that's when they send last interviews or if that's when they go through with rejections. If interviews are the case I still have a chance! 🙂

yea seriously. Let's hold on to the dream!

 

[redshadow]

Got an II today. They're definitely still going out!

 

[einstein1990]

Oooooh. Were you put on hold?

 

[redshadow]

Not that I'm aware of. I submitted later than I wanted to (Had to track down the associate chair of my biology department via email. Not very fun from across the country!)

 

[lordOrville]

My guess is monday the 14th.

Was hoping the same thing. Wouldn't think it would be later than Friday since they said it would be every two weeks or so but we will see.

Received a hold email yesterday
I don't know if that's good or not
Do they reject Applicants ??

Have you already interviewed? They told me that they wont reject until March.

Wow, that's absolutely torturous! I don't want to hang on the edge of my seat that long, man. But I love this school too much to give up. 🙁 *hmph* :cry:

 

[einstein1990]

Has anyone successfully sent any pre-interview updates?

 

[Guero]

I just called to check my status and learned that (1) they received my pre-interview updates, (2) have looked at my application "multiple times," (3) they added two more interview dates in February due to high volume, and (4) final notifications [rejections] will go out "either late February or early March, so it won't be like you'll just never hear from us." 🙂 Hope this helps!

 

[spelledout]

hey all, just wanted to say congrats to those of you that have been accepted already! and for those of you still waiting to hear either for interviews or on decisions, hang in there! i interviewed relatively early in the season and was left hanging for a while - i didn't hear anything until the very last round of acceptances.

the process for the school is a pretty lengthy one involving committees and stacks of applications, which have only increased since out of state students were accepted so i'm sure the committee is working very hard to get through everything and i wouldn't be concerned if you have gotten the holding pattern.

for those accepted, or anyone else for that matter... if you have any questions about the school or why you should choose UA, feel free to post or send me a PM, i'd be more than happy to share my experience over the last 4 years.

Also just to sell the program a little bit... we're in the process of ranking programs for residency and i've been amazed at how awesome my classmates have been doing during the interview season with some of the interviews they have been going on. i'm pretty sure this will be an incredible match (knock on wood of course) and things are only going to get better with each year going forward.

Thanks for the info, spelled out. I'm OOS, interviewed on 10/12, received the "not accepted this time" e-mail 4 times, but the last one was Dec 2nd, so I kinda feel like I've been left hanging, lol.

I'm a non-traditional with 5 years in the Army(including a combat deployment) plus an MPH. sGPA 3.0 (3.7 in grad school), GPA 3.3, MCAT 34Q.

I've been maniacally checking my e-mail lately which is also complicated by the fact that I live in Korea right now, so the time zones are a bit different.

 

[colierun23]

I am checking my email like a crazy person. ACCEPT ME!

 

[JBruin]

Accepted via email this afternoon!

However I will most likely not be matriculating unless they can work something out for my chemistry pre-reqs. I've taken 2.5 years but they refuse to accept my lecture/lab courses for credit.

i interviewed around that time and didn't hear anything until beginning of march, so don't think too much on it.

I was interviewed Dec 15th and just got accepted today!!!

Congratulations! Im sure they will make some kind of concession after all they accepted you. If they don't it would be crazy.

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to share, it is helpful to know when acceptances are sent especially with the Tucson campus which is not very transparent.
