Has anyone who is still waiting on a decision sent any LOIs or updates? Anyone know If they are receptive this?

I asked and it sounded like it wouldn't help or hurt. You are talking post interview right?

Thanks for the reply! Yes, post-interview. I guess I'll give it a try then!
 
I also heard LOIs hold very little value. It's so hard just waiting and not doing anything, but I think that's the name of the game at this point..
 
Dear Students,

The University of Louisville School of Medicine has scheduled its 2013 Pre-Orientation. Pre-Orientation will be held on Saturday, February 16, 2013, in the Kornhauser Auditorium. This is the time you and your families can take a second look at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. This event will start at 8 a.m. to approximately 3 p.m. Please save this date on your calendar. You will be receiving an email with the days agenda and more information soon. Thanking you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

I think the second look is only for those that have been accepted. I really wish the committee would have met this week! 🙁
 
So guys, I recently met with Kim Scott at UK to discuss my application being declined 🙂() and she let me know that apparently they are placing a lot of people on hold due to the fact that they are petitioning to expand the class and wont know the answer until late February/early March. Think UofL might be doing the same thing, hence the past few weeks of no decisions?

I did not get this email. Anyone accepted and not got this invitation?
 
You may want to call the office and make sure they have your email correct?
 
I've found some pages that describe the daily life of first year's at U of L but I was hoping to get a few specific questions answered. Anybody out there I could PM to help answer? I know it's annoying lol
 
does anyone have any idea how many admissions offers they have made and how many more they are going to extend? and how many more interviews they're holding? I wonder if the office of admissions would give this info...for those still waiting to hear I'm sure you'd agree it might be nice to know this?

How many interviews remaining - possibly. How many offers they've made and/or howany more they are going to extend - highly doubtful. I think they will tell you of they are oversubscribed already but the exact numbers I'd imagine they won't tell.

Yes, it would be great if we could know anything about anything that is going on with admissions at this point....especially what might be in store for hold candidates and such...I would really like to have a good amount of time to figure out housing, etc if need be since those aren't the easiest tasks either.

I do not have any information regarding those hoping for interviews. But here is part of a response I received when I was in contact with the admissions office.

"Going forward we will be making a few offers of admissions, assembling the wait list and denying the candidates that will be unsuccessful with us this year. We will be encouraging applicant reviews with an eye toward those that interviewed earlier in the cycle as one of the factors of consideration."

Thanks for posting! I was sort of expecting this. It seems in previous threads that they started to wait list in February. My fingers are still crossed for an acceptance/end to the unbearable waiting, but it seems very unlikely.🙁
 
So essentially they've kept us all no decision this long because they didn't want to wait list so many people, if not denying us?

I think for those of us with "no decision" and not on hold, we were kept around for comparison to those they interviewed in Dec. and Jan. That is my best guess. I kind of feel like those on hold might be in a better position, but I'm not sure.

I am a current first year, I checked this to reminisce about this time last year. Feel free to PM me some specific questions about whatever, the only thing I can't answer are questions about admissions because I have no idea how that works.
 
Friday afternoon I emailed the admissions office because I have been complete since early October and haven't seen any changes online. The admissions replied with the following "The status of your application is completed and it is placed in the pool for a possible interview." Of course there isn't a signature to go with it so I am not very hopeful or anything.
 
im in need of a roommate! is there anyway we can make an editable document on google docs/fb so ppl can start putting in their preferences and stuff? does anyone know how to do that?
 
I know you can make a google doc and change the edit settings so anyone with the link can edit the document. Then you can just share the docent here and in the FB group.
 
Does anyone know how much the stipend is for the Pre-matriculation program? :naughty:
 
I need a roomate but am looking for the best cheapest deal for housing also. If you know of any deals email me.
 
for those who are no decision thus far... I was looking at past years and it made me nervous... it seemed like they didn't make many admissions offers in Feb & after. however, this year is unique in that three meetings were cancelled.. thoughts? I'm hoping the class is not near full yet. I wonder what this week's meeting will bring- hopefully good news.
 
I agree, this year is unique. I feel as though 'no decision' isn't necessarily worse than a 'hold.' I wouldstill think the class is still probably full because ideally the admissions would be compiling a wait list. However, the three cancelled meetings is a good point. U of L seems to be more behind this cycle in general.
 
I too made the mistake of reading past threads. I have no idea what Wednesday holds and that makes me nervous.

I am trying to prepare for the idea of a wait list and how that would mean uncertainty until May. I am hoping that my news is no worse than wait list. If my news is better than wait list I will be extremely happy and relieved.

Same here. Hoping for good news of wait list or better.
 
Like some of you on here, I'm in the "no decision" category as well. Anyone know what the chances are of getting accepted if/when you are placed on the wait-list?

It depends if you are in the top, middle, or bottom third. The top third has very high chances of being accepted. Many years everyone in the top third has been accepted.

But if I understand correctly, we won't know which third we are in until the first week of May.

i was waitlisted after applying very late last cycle (interviewed in Feb) and I was middle third. also , there are two wait lists, one for In State & one for out of state. unfortunately, the wait list didn't move much last year. i am hoping things will work out this round!

Were you IS or OOS?
At my interview, they said that almost everyone from the top third and a decent amount from the middle third are eventually accepted. I didn't realize that there were separate waitlists for IS/OOS so maybe they were just referring to IS.

I am OOS. I have heard that the OOS waitlist typically moves further b/c students who get accepted to their home state schools tend to attend them because of lower tuition costs.
 
Does anyone know if Louisville rejects people post interview?

I'm getting so nervous.
 
I received an invitation to interview today, so the admissions committee is doing something.
 
Louisville definitely rejects post interview. That's why I think 'no decision' isn't necessarily worse than hold. I was in a post itnerview hold this time last year and was eventually rejected, not wait listed.

Thanks for the info.

Did you apply again this year? Or go to a different school?
 
I know that if you get accepted at UK, you usually get a call from one of the interviewers to inform you of your acceptance. Does anyone know if UofL usually calls, emails, or sends something through snail-mail to inform you of your acceptance?
