sorry to hear that. thanks for all your contributions and hope you have something else lined up.
 
IS applicant. Just received the rejection e-mail.
 
Lloyd Braunn said:
You may be right, but what I do know is that people in front and behind me alphabetically, and in front and behind me by interview date, along with OOS and IS applicants have all been rejected. Unless there is a variable I am neglecting, or unless the order in which the emails go out in is random, I feel somewhat confident that all outright rejections have been sent out.

Just be patient guys last year I got my notification on April 1rst. The year before that I had a classmate that was notified April 2nd. When they say the end of March they mean the end of March

Hopefully it will actually be by Friday since they are doing emails now.
 
Looks like I was wrong. They are sending out rejections of all kinds today. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I am out. I am not surprised because I rushed my application and didn't prepare myself for interviews as much as I should have. Lesson learned! Reapplying next year with a new focus and better approach! 🙂 Good luck to everybody else! :luck:

sorry to hear that. Were you in-state? Stats? Best of luck gomer pyle
 
Just got the rejection email, IS applicant. To be honest, it's a big relief to finally be able to settle on a decision since I was accepted at another school I really love as well. For those of you who end up reapplying, good luck!

For anyone interested in my stats, see my MDApps.

Congrats on your other acceptance! Where will you be going? Also, sorry if this is a dumb question but where do you view MDApp?

Thanks! I'll be going to ATSU-SOMA in Arizona. And the MDApps link is to the left of every comment I post (under my username).
 
As I said before, gloom and doom :naughty: There's always next year ^.^
 
If you attached an ECG to my heart you would know how many email notifications I have received today. Just look where I skipped the beats.

So I know that the U usually takes more Utah students, but all of my BYU friends, except one, have been rejected. Anyone know the # of BYU students accepted this year?
 
Looks like a lot of bad news today. Sorry to everyone who got the email today, and I wish you each the best at other schools, or with other endeavors. Thanks for all of your contributions to the forum.
 
Hey all,
I braved it and called again just now.
I'm sorry to everyone rejected 🙁 Keep your hopes up.
For anyone that has not heard back yet, they are done sending rejection e-mails for today! They now said that they are still not done with acceptance phone calls and that they are aiming to be done by Friday. I guess they're backed up, as they said Thursday yesterday.
Good luck to everyone.
 
I also called again today. I was told before that the extra 20 seats could not be offered until it was made official (when the governor signs the bill). The admissions office confirmed that acceptances have not been extended for the 20 seats, but that everyone would hear something by Friday. I asked what would happen if the governor had not signed the bill by then, and was told that hopefully it would be signed by Friday, but if not, everyone would still hear something by then. My guess is that if it doesn't get signed by Friday, those applicants they plan to give the 20 seats to will get waitlisted, and then get accepted once the bill is signed. Just my guess though. It is good to know there are still 20 spots left!

Lesson learned. Don't go to the more competitive, more conservative university if you want to attend the U.

I don't think there is a strong anti-BYU bias considering that the school produces SO many applicants in the general pool: https://www.aamc.org/download/321458/data/2012factstable2-7.pdf

With BYU having more pre-med students than most, it's bound to have lots of rejections (as well as lots of acceptances)

Long time lurker here. I just called the Governors office and asked about the bill status and if it was close to signing, (I was pretty surprised to get through haha). According to the secretary I spoke with she is 99 percent sure that the bill will be signed by Friday. He has been cruising through them and she even mentioned that while I was on the phone with her she got an email with more bills that had been signed. It hasn't been signed yet but hopefully very soon! Good luck to everyone
 
Hey all. IS, got the rejection e-mail a couple hours ago. Good luck to all those still waiting to hear back.
 
So who still hasn't heard anything? It makes me hopeful for waitlist or acceptance, but if I'm going to be rejected I wish I could've heard yesterday... I'm trying to learn patience here.

can anyone help with a tuition question?

So, if you go here for tuition information for the current year:

http://fbs.admin.utah.edu/download/income/Graduate/SM.pdf

It states an in-state tuition rate of $15,229 per semester. It also says this rate is for Fall 2012, Spring 2013, and Summer 2012. In a footnote at the bottom, it says that both residents and nonresidents are assessed the resident rate during the summer term.

I can't figure out what any of this means. Is the total in-state tuition $15,229 x 3 = $45k + per year? That seems a little high for in-state, especially considering US News lists in-state tuition around $30k. Or is the summer term not a full semester and only half the $15k is assessed? Or is there no summer term at all, and only fall and spring semesters are charged each year? Or are there only certain years that a summer term is part of the schedule? And if so, what years? Or is the summer term optional for research, etc? This is the only tuition information I can find, and it seems unclear to me. Most schools will list out MS1-MS4 semester by semester charges if they use a per semester tuition method. Or they'll just list a 12-month encompassing tuition rate. There's plenty of information on Utah's curriculum, but I can't find anything about the scheduling of their curriculum. All it lists is 4 phases that encompass 48 months (4 years) of time.

Anyone who has called or any former students familiar with how this works? I'll call them later today, but I thought I'd ask here first.

I called today and the admissions lady said that tuition and fees for '12-'13 is around $32,000 (give or take $1000; I can't remember the exact number). She also said there will be an 8% increase for '13-'14. That's a lot of dough.

I haven't heard anything. I agree about getting rejection over and done with. It is sad to see so many people get bad news over the last couple of days.
 
Just wondering - are any of you reapplicants that have been accepted or rejected?

You can see which schools I applied to on my mdapps. Most were a bit of a reach.

I'm in the same boat and hoping for wait-list or acceptance but, like you, I'm anxious to know either way. I must say, this may sound a bit corny and I apologize for that, I really think that we should all be proud of the fact that we got an interview here, I know I am, regardless of outcome. I know many highly qualified individuals every year don't get that shot for one reason or another. This is not an easy school to get in to. Just my two cents. Good luck to everyone still in the running and best of luck to those going to other schools or starting the application process again.
 
I got the rejection email this morning as well. Idaho resident. PNWU-COM here I come.

Your stats are really good though. :claps:

Do you have ties to CA, WA, NC? Without ties it'll be hard to get looks from those schools, even with yours stats. CO is 75% in-state. I donno how AZ views UT applicants... I'm interested in applying there but I haven't heard of anyone from UT getting in. DC schools have tons of applicants and then Harvard is crap shoot. I think with a better school list you'll have no trouble with getting an acceptance this upcoming cycle.
 
Good luck to everyone today! I wonder when we will finally hear some good news this week...

Yeah ugh this wait for a call or email thing is pretty tough but lol the light at the end of the tunnel is almost there...hopefully it's light with good news lol
 
I just skimmed through the last few pages and did not notice ANY acceptances since Friday. Does anyone know ANYONE that got accepted this week (Mon-Wed)? It looks like they may be waiting on the governor and only have 20 people to notify of acceptances.

I think there are a dozen or so followers of this thread who have indicated that they haven't been rejected/waitlisted yet.
