Same! Rejected as well pre-interview. Oh well.
Rejected also. This was my final school I was waiting to hear back from. I really can't complain and am very fortunate to have gotten into a bunch of schools, some of which I'm really excited about going to, but I can't help but be just a bit perturbed by the fact that not a single "top" (aka US News top 20) even gave me an interview. It just makes me feel like I never really had a chance and they just took my money and ran. Anybody else feel the same way? Really don't mean to come off as a complainer, just something that's been bothering me....
I understand @cyberchicken001 Although I was fortunate enough to get an interview at one top 10 school, all my other interviews have been from schools ranked #30 or lower. It's a really weird phenomenon that I can't explain. Idk what to make of it. Maybe the one top 10 was just a fluke. And coming into this cycle I thought it would go a lot differently, but everything happens for a reason. I've had to stop comparing myself to all my friends (which is a good thing).

You've been accepted to incredible schools and have interviewed at the best of the best. According to your MDApps your MCAT is 28< x >31 and your sGPA is 3.0< x >3.3. Applicants with your stats rarely get into any MD school, and struggle to even get into DO. Congrats!

I totally understand.. I just hope all those hungry interviewees enjoyed the lunch I sponsored lol 😉The whole thing is a huge gamble man. I'm waiting on a decision from an Ivy in March but I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm very happy to have been accepted to my state school and that I'm going to be a doctor without having to go DO or to the Caribbean, in the end that's all that matters. Out of 45,000 people applying, we made it 🙂

I empathize with the disappointment. I was fortunate enough to be interviewed at one of the top 20, but have largely been ignored or rejected by the others. Among those schools, you either have to have super stellar numbers and accomplishments or be part of group that they're specifically targeting.
I was rejected pre-interview by Sinai today and it was my top choice going into this cycle. I was also recently wait-listed at NYU, which had been my number 2. But I'm not sad. This has been an incredible cycle and I've been lucky to have many options available to me, which cannot be said of a lot of people on here.
Rejected this morning pre-interview. I'm a reapplicant who interviewed here 2 years ago and substantially improved my app. 😕
Oh god.
I've been waking up with a start at ~5am-ish recently, checking my email to see if I got a late-night rejection/acceptance/waitlist from this school. I had a January interview date and was told that we would hear back "mid-February" (which, to me, is defined as 1-9 = early Feb, 10-19 = mid-Feb, and 20-28 = late Feb).
Slowly dying...
Nope!Any word?
Nope!
they wouldn't release on a holiday...would they??
Just got the email that I was placed on the alternate list. 🙁
Is alternate list the same as a waitlist?Just got the email that I was placed on the alternate list. 🙁
Winterchill- I feel you there. Was also placed on the Alternate List but I'm declining my spot.
Best of Luck Everybody!
Is alternate list the same as a waitlist?
Same! Rejected as well pre-interview. Oh well.
I interviewed back in October, was put in the "continued review pile" and just got a waitlist email, which I guess is better than a rejection and gives me some hope...but still, Mt Sinai is my top choice so it's a bit disappointing. :/ Congrats to everyone who was accepted though!
Alternate list today as well. Did anyone else receive a background check email from Certiphi today? I was under the impression that they only sent those for acceptances..I'm still waiting to hear from another school post-interview so I'm not sure which school that email was regarding..
