Man, you can hear crickets in this thread.
If I got accepted I'd be posting every day haha

I didn't even get an interview and I manage a group of clinics in CT, got a recommendation from an attending at an affiliated hospital, above median MCAT, and am sitting on 5 acceptances elsewhere. At the start it was one of my top choices.

All is well that ends well I guess (re: your acceptances).
I keep trying to adopt the thinking of "everything happens for a reason"-- It is increasingly hard to focus on while being waitlisted from UCONN and waiting to hear back from Quinnipiac.
Have any other accepted students not yet received the second look weekend email?
same here.Placed on waitlist
Same. Any idea when the list starts to move or if it's ranked?
I got the email for the "Second Look Weekend" but not sure if I`m planning to go since I am 100% sure i`m matriculating!!!!! 🙂
Now I`m in the process of doing all the financial aid stuff....SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!

Interviewed 10/8/12
Accepted 10/24/12

Hi, can somebody tell me what the interview is like? Is it one long one or 2 short ones? Also, is it closed or open file? Has the interviewer read your application?
Thanks!
Haven't checked this thread in a while, but I was accepted back in November, and I'm 100% sure that I'll be matriculating. Going to the second look weekend just for the heck of it, since the health center is 30 minutes from where I live currently. Anybody else going? Someone mentioned dropping off financial aid paperwork during the second look weekend-- good idea!
I'm in the same situation, except I'm about 15 min away, so I will see you at second look (and dropping of financial aid is def a good idea)
Also likely the same situation except that I'm about 40 minutes away. Very excited to go.
Any idea what we will be doing? And I know this is less formal than interviewing but what is the suggested dress code?

I also need this information! Can anyone answer this???Anybody know how far they are scheduling IIs, or if they are still scheduling IIs at all? I know its late in the game but want to interview here for a chance at a seat.

Thank you.Im afraid not. The last interviews go the first couple weeks of march, they sent out the last ii in jan/early feb. They are also pretty much waitlisting everyone at this point as the class is pretty much full. Not the best news, Sorry.

Yup! Black Bear was a good choice. Also, I e-mailed the coordinator about dress, and she said casual is fine, wear whatever you want.

The admissions meetings take place the 2nd & 4th Tuesday of the month or every other Tuesday. I put it quotes because they adjust for holidays and that sort of thing.
So far they seem tove had meetings on the following days: 10/9, 10/23, 11/13, 11/27, 12/11 & 1/8.
Those accepted seem to hear back from UConn following the second admissions meeting after their interview (i.e. your file is not reviewed the following meeting but rather the one after that).
So, IF they stick to the 2nd & 4th Tue rule, the next meetings should be: 1/22, 2/12, 2/26, 3/12, 3/26, etc.
Therefore, if your interview is/was [ ] you should hear back a day or two after ( )
[12/14, 12/17, 12/21, 1/4, 1/7] --> (1/22)
[1/11, 1/14, 1/18, 1/21] --> (2/12)
[1/25, 1/28, 2/1, 2/4, 2/8, 2/11] --> (2/26)
[2/15, 2/18, 2/22, 2/25] --> (3/12)
[3/1, 3/4, 3/8, 3/11] --> (3/26)
Of course, this is only hypothetical and doesnt take into account: snow days and other natural/supernatural/karma caused disasters (you knew you shouldve cleaned Fluffys litterbox more than once during the month you were cat-sitting Mrs. Smiths little baby, and now your interview got cancelled. Karmas a b ); if UConn gets behind in the review process; if they decide to follow the every other Tue rule (then meeting days would change to: 1/22, 2/5, 2/19, 3/5, 3/19, etc.); and a million other things.
Hi everyone,
This is still up in the air, but one reasonably likely combination for me and my significant other is that I'll be at UConn next year and they will be in New Haven (not at YSM, though ^_^). So... if that's what we end up doing, where should we live? (We'll be renting.)
We have one car and would like to keep it that way. Another consideration is that I'm a bad/reluctant driver and would prefer not to be driving a couple of hours a day. On the other hand, New Haven seems like a more fun place to live than Farmington, and my partner is probably going to have a lot of free time (whether to hang out with classmates or just do other things around town) since I'll be so busy!
We considered living in Hartford, since there's an Amtrak "shuttle" to New Haven, but that seems expensive (and I'd still have to drive, right?). (West Hartford would be okay, but then there's the problem of getting to Hartford for Amtrak, and that's a lot of public transportation for my partner to be dealing with twice a day, every day.)
If we lived somewhere in between (like Wallingford or Meriden? I don't know much about the towns between Farmington and New Haven), maybe I could carpool with people who work at UCHC or something?
I don't know. I am also tired of living in a city and am hoping for a backyard and some trees. Any opinions? I would appreciate any help!
So I'm just gonna put it out there... Who's okay with a dog next year
What breed?

I agree with lostintranscrip, Meriden or Middletown would probably be your best bet. Middletown has a nice downtown and main street has a bunch of restaurants/bars/boutique shops and wesleyan is right there as its main visitors, so theres a bunch of college kids in the area. Meriden is a little more rural and spread out, but the fringes of middletown are like this too. Meriden is a little closer to New Haven and 691 runs right through it to put you on 84 to farmington. If your looking for pretty rural, then Durham is probably the way to go, it is just south of Middletown and directly east of Meriden, but then your looking at a longer way to Farmington and New Haven.Hi everyone,

This is the explanation I got via email from Dr Zeff, the assistant dean of admissions:
"Since the Admissions Committee has not yet completed review of all applicants, I am not able to specify a rank-ordered position at this time. We will contact you during the next few months to update your status within the alternate list."
Has anyone gotten a "high alternate" status, or are we all just alternate status?
@JoshuaGuit I'm not sure ranking has occurred yet
