Congratulations! Mind sharing when you interviewed?

Thanks!! It was originally scheduled for February 11th but (ironically - if you see my previous post #168) it was postponed due to the snow storm to the 15th. I guess karma caught up to me... darn Fluffy.

As far as my "stats," I'm very non-trad so I'm probably not very good as a comparison. I AM instate though...

According to last year's thread they were done giving out acceptances in January, so you must have had a very impressive file. Congratulations!
 
Anyone have any idea when the waitlist is getting ranked?
 
has anyone out there on the waitlist received an update on their position (i.e. high, middle, low), or hear anything new about when it will be ranked? thx.
 
Think there's any chance of hearing about waitlist rankings this week?
 
I'm thinking that it will come out on Thursday assuming they have kept having their meetings on Wednesdays.
 
Does anyone know when we should be hearing about financial aid?
 
Can only imagine it will be soon. May 15 is quickly approaching and they said it would be before then.
 
Has anyone received a reply from Dr. Zeff recently? My last two updates haven't gotten a response and I'm not sure if he is actually getting them or not.

I called the office recently and was told Dr. Zeff is away on a serious personal matter... I'm not sure when he'll be back, but I wouldn't expect a reply from him any time soon. It might be worth calling the office though just to make sure they received your updates. Lynda is always very nice.

Yeah, none of my updates have gotten replies. Sent to both Dr. Zeff and the regular admissions account.

I get out of lecture around 4 so I will call then, unless you want to do the honors

The financial aid office had a question about my paperwork last Thursday, so that means they're done with current students and onto prospective students now.

Any idea if they release them as they finish them or all at once?
 
It's May 1st and no update 🙁 Maybe tomorrow morning if they have a meeting tonight like usual.
 
Aaaaaand nothing. +pissed+ Getting antsy waiting to find out about this. All of the schools I'm waitlisted at have such non-transparent, slow waitlist processes. haha
 
Hey Y'all.

Current UConn MS-I here. Just want to pass on some pertinent information. Waitlist rankings,
should be sent out in the next couple of weeks. If you are not placed on high alternate wait list, you virtually have no chance of being accepted off of the waitlist; I just want to give all of you realistic expectations. With that being said good luck, I love UConn Med and I hope those who are on the waitlist find their way here!

Hopefully I'm in your shoes next year! Do you know if they already sent out "high alternate" in the original waitlist email? No one on this thread has gotten it so far which is pretty weird.

Also, do you have any idea why Lynda/Dr. Zeff aren't responding to emails? Is that normal?
 
Tried calling Lynda today but she's out of office until Tuesday. No idea what's going on this cycle, I thought we would know our alternate list tiers by now?

Anyone know how much time is given for STEP 1 prep? It isn't outlined in the curriculum schematic

basically none, you're on your own. i know an MS2 who hasn't had any time to even start yet. also, unfortunately the assessments do not align quite as well with the step 1 as other schools, some of which use actual step 1 questions in MS2 tests.
 
Was going to call today to ask when we could expect to hear things but unfortunately I have absolutely no voice and a terrible cough. Thanks, allergies.
 
I withdrew my acceptance from this school like February, but I never got the deposit back. Does UConn not return deposits? Or are we supposed to call to get it?
 
Perhaps they will send something out about the waitlist after may 15th? Here's to hoping!
 
Just called and was told by the end of next week we will know where we are on the waitlist, but maybe not the actual rank.
 
withdrew! it was hard ...good luck everyone.
 
Withdrew my acceptances from everywhere else. Just holding onto one wait list spot, but if that doesn't come through then UCONN it is for me. Hello huskies!!

I hope you get into your top for selfish reasons!! 👍 😛
 
I just wish I knew where I was ranked on the waitlist. Chances are I might withdraw off the waitlist though, unless I get pulled off very soon, because I found a place I really like at the school I'm hanging on to.

Wait, what? How do you know where you are ranked?
 
The adcom has recently sent in the ranked list, though they haven't sent out "high alternate" status emails yet. This was a response I received last week in reply to an email I sent them in February. Patience...

That makes me so relieved to hear a definite "no" on if the original waitlist email indicated high alternate or not.

I'm guessing there's no point in sending in an additional update letter now with final transcripts?
 
Just spoke to Zeff. He said they haven't had to go into the alternate list much this year which I read as they are still overcommitted. He confirmed they have the rankings but was hesitant to even commit to saying they would send out relative rankings at all. When pressed he said "hopefully in the next two weeks". He said multiple times that "unfortunately he would not be optimistic" - a very different tone than I have heard from him in the past. I think it's basically over for this cycle.

Historically speaking, I thought UCONN and most schools don't have considerable movement off the list of alternates until mid-June or sometime thereafter. Being a week after May 15th, it seems a trifle premature to draw such drastic conclusions, no?
