6:19 😎

 

[Courtjester8]

If you don't get an acceptance, do they tell you anything?

 

[BiologyNerd]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

why no email?!

 

[theTraveler]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

why no email?!

No email here either. So disappointed ! 🙁

 

[fMRIng]

congrats to all those who got accepted!

as for me, i guess i have to wait until february...so long!

 

[NCPremed]

If you don't get an acceptance, do they tell you anything?

Not tonight. Assuming you received a "hold" status in the weeks following your interview, if you don't get accepted tonight, there are still two possible dates when you could be accepted.

Whee! Accepted!!!

I love your avatar. 🙂

 

[Arbor Vitae]

Whee! Accepted!!!

+1, by email

 

[Deetss]

Do they send out all the acceptances at once or one by one via email?

 

[physiologist]

Woo! Congrats everyone who was accepted! Hopefully y'all will be my future classmates. As for the rest of us, here's to hoping lady luck smiles upon us come February 2!

 

[Skeeks]

Congrats to everyone who was accepted. I may see some of you next year in Richmond.

There's nothing for me. 🙁 Congrats to all those who were accepted this time though!

[virtuoso735]

Was anyone here passed up last time but accepted this time? Trying to gauge my chances for February...

 

[rierphfft]

Congrats everyone! I'm so jelly. Feb 1 seems so far away...

 

[p3anut]

If you mean did I go to committee in October but not get in until now then yes. Don't give up 🙂

 

[tigerwoods12]

I got an email at 6:19 like the rest of you, but then my status update just asked me to take a survey. What the heck is that? They said only accepted applicants would get updates today, right?

 

[BABSstudent]

Accepted at the same time as everyone else. My phone just didn't tell me I had any new emails.

OOS, 32R, 3.72

 

[Cuongoff]

Nothing...Oh well, more waiting I guess.

 

[AlltheAbove]

Also accepted today! Received hold status yesterday.

 

[BARON7]

Did anyone who was eligible for acceptance oct 16 and not get accepted that day get accepted today?

 

[physiologist]

Also accepted today! Interviewed 12/6 and received hold status yesterday.

Nice! That's really lucky. I was from your interview day and never got any hold status. I guess this means I have to wait until February. Sigh. Congratulations!

 

[Jefe5]

Did anyone who was eligible for acceptance oct 16 and not get accepted that day get accepted today?

I have been eligible for both Oct 16 and today and I haven't been accepted yet. I'm sure it will happen in Feb!

 

[AllIn416]

I have been eligible for both Oct 16 and today and I haven't been accepted yet. I'm sure it will happen in Feb!

+1 I hope so 🙂

 

[GoatMachine]

I have been eligible for both Oct 16 and today and I haven't been accepted yet. I'm sure it will happen in Feb!

another +1

 

[p3anut]

Did anyone who was eligible for acceptance oct 16 and not get accepted that day get accepted today?

Yes.
I also had the "further" status in case anyone is keeping track.

 

[virtuoso735]

Is it really the case that the bar is lowered for each subsequent date? I don't understand why that would be.

 

[physiologist]

Is it really the case that the bar is lowered for each subsequent date? I don't understand why that would be.

From what I heard, the quality of applicants tends to go down with each date (the keeners submit super early).

But that's just speculation, since it sounds really counter-intuitive.

 

[Deetss]

was anyone accepted from oct 17th interview date?

 

[NCPremed]

was anyone accepted from oct 17th interview date?

Accepted from the October 16th interview date.

 

[mwall003]

Is it really the case that the bar is lowered for each subsequent date? I don't understand why that would be.

Yes the bar is lowered which makes sense. The committee ranks your candidacy from 1-5 with 1 the best and 5 the worst. People on here say 4&5 is rejection. Each offer date that number supposedly increases from say 1.5 yesterday to 1.75 feb 1 the next offer date.

 

[hadoken44]

should we expect OOS waitlist movement to be big like in previous years? I ask because I interviewed last week and am hoping that if I at least make it to the waitlist I will have a solid shot as an OOSer.

 

[Cuongoff]

I was hoping I would get accepted to VCU. I want to end this cycle so badly. It's expensive and stressful.

 

[theTraveler]

+1. I was hoping this would be my first acceptance, but turned out just silence.

 

[AlltheAbove]

Thanks! Good luck to you in February!

 

[Joshturnerfan]

accepted last night - interviewed 11/29 - accepted to Fmstat program this morning.
I will hold it for a little and then give it up once I hear from my state schools.

 

[james1249]

Accepted last night! Is there a facebook group or anything for accepted applicants yet?

 

[theTraveler]

My status has just been changed from "hold for decision at a later date" into "interview survey" again. I already completed this survey long time ago after my interview date. Does anyone experience this weird thing ? What does this mean ? Is the hold status still applicable to me ??

 

[member2017]

Hey guys! I interviewed mid October and did not recieve an offer of admission last night. Very bumbed, VCU is my top choice. I was under the impression that most applicants get accepted the admission date after their interview. Does This mean my chances of admission are smaller? does anyone have any information on how likely it is to be accepted once the admissions date following your interview has passed? I would really appreciate any input. I'm OOS, if anyone is wondering!

 

[Deetss]

+1

 

[p3anut]

Accepted to fmSTAT today 🙂

I'd also like to know if there is a group for accepted students.
