Coming up on 10 weeks since I've been complete and I still have the "6-8 weeks" status... I'm thinking LOI time??

My thoughts exactly. Im in the same boat and I'm definitely sending one this week.

I had the 6-8 weeks status for around 10 weeks as well, but it recently changed to "preliminary review" and then "small pooled". I really think they're just a little slow this year. At least that's what they said in the admissions office when I called to check up on my app around the 10 week mark.

Good to know! Thanks. I'll probably send a LOI this week and check in on the phone next week. 10 weeks seems like an eternity in the world of med school admissions! Haha.
 
so just checked and i am small pooled....anyone know if this category has a good chance of getting an interview?
 
Finally swimming in the small pool! Complete around 8/21.
 
The ADCOM should be meeting any day now to review our files and send out their next batch of acceptances.:xf:

No, I interviewed 10/30. There were only 7 interviewees that day because of the storm. I'm sure anyone that was there can guess who I am, considering I mentioned my 80 lb weight loss during introductions.
 
has anyone who interviewed in October heard back?
 
Haven't heard. I think the meeting was today but I am not sure
 
My status now says:

Your file has been reviewed by the Admissions Committee. We will be contacting you shortly regarding the status of your application.

Interviewed early October.
 
Just withdrew my application and cancelled my interview date on 11/27/12. I really liked this school and the surrounding community sounds great. However, the OOS tuition for 4 years is just too much when I compare it with the IS schools where I have already been accepted.

Mu, it seems pretty random. People I interviewed with got their statuses updated both before me and after me, who knows what the reason is.

At least there's a bunch of us all waiting?
 
I have an interview coming up and was wondering about the clinical experience at UVM. It seems like pre-clinical curriculum--the VIC--is pretty well-loved, as is the faculty. But how have students found the diversity (or lack thereof...?) of clinical experiences at UVM? I know you can also do away rotations at a site in CT, but does that really make up for the lack of diversity in Burlington?

I may be way off base, but from what I know of VT it isn't the most diverse city in the northeast. Was this talked about much during the interview day?
 
I also have an interview coming up next week. Is there just one faculty interview? Student interview too?

Just one interview with faculty, something like 45 minutes to an hour. You have lunch with student ambassadors, nothing formal, they're just there to answer your questions about the school from a student's perspective.
 
I wish I could send this school some more LOIs. I sent like, 4, but they're still ignoring me. I've gotta keep at least a little bit of my dignity in tact, so no more groveling. hahaha

...If you're not interested, why didn't you just reject me, UVM? 😕

From what I understood during my interview, off-site rotations are essentially mandatory (unless you have a family in Vermont), with sites in Maine, Florida, and Connecticut. They stressed that these off-site rotations for many core clerkships give you a significant diversity in patient population and allows you to work everything from academic tertiary care centers to rural medical centers. You spend a significant amount of time off-site, so yes, I think it definitely helps you see a lot more than you would just clerking in Vermont.

Agree on all points
 
OOS, complete early September, didn't get the "under preliminary review" message till this past Friday 11.16. I did send a standard update (to everyone) on my research and other stuff at the end of October, but I can't imagine that had much of an effect. I felt like a jerkus customizing an LOI when all I know about UVM, really, is it's a great school that takes primary care seriously, so I didn't go that route.

(Parenthetically, looking at my bottle of Magic Hat #9 last night, it seems that it was actually brewed in comparatively nearby Rochester, NY. Customized LOI to U. Rochester? 😀 )
 
My status updated this morning from "has been reviewed" to "Out-of-area waitlist." Interviewed 9/18. Optimistic that it's something, even if it is more waiting.

Besides the optional letter of interest to the admissions committee, is there anything left to do? Any procedural things to say "yes, put me on the waitlist"?
 
Accepted this morning! First acceptance. OOS and interviewed in the beginning of November.

I got an email informing me of acceptance.

OOS, interviewed 11/1 so really quick turnaround time. I was never informed of any waitlist status and my status did not change before I got the acceptance email.

First accpetance, I am so very very excited!!!
 
SBuck53 we interviewed on the same day. Congrats!!!

I too received the email and the status change online.
