Check last year's thread but I'm pretty sure earliest is Oct. 15 or 16, and then its whenever the committee meets, which is like every couple of weeks I think.
Also, interviewing here on Friday. The nerves have already kicked in >< aaaah!

Interviewed this week and they told our group that we would be informed of their decision during the week of the 28th.
First official date for acceptances through regular admissions is Oct 15, so I imagine the September intervieews will hear then. For those Interviewing this month, we should hear the week of Oct. 28th (as previously mentioned).
I dont know about you all, but Im burying myself in my work bc Im climbing the walls over here!!!
I'm wondering about this as well. I've also got the ambiguous "has been reviewed" status.
Call the admissions office and ask. I called to ask if this "has been reviewed" is a hold status, and I was told that while my application was on hold, it was also small-pooled. Call the admissions office, they may be able to provide similar clarification on this for your status. (and let us know what they tell you!) Good Luck!
Hello,
I must have not noticed these posts - I usually get a notification if I was quoted...odd. The admissions office staff at Loyola are some of the nicest people I've had the pleasure of speaking to throughout the entire application process - you should not be afraid to call the office! They are so helpful!
I cannot remember exactly how I had phrased it, but essentially I asked if this was a hold status, they said yes, I asked if the committee typically invites a considerable number of applicants that were previously placed on hold (citing the fact that they receive so many applications) and they told me that alot of people get placed on hold, but a smaller amount of applicants with the hold status are considered to be in small pool. If you have the "has been reviewed" status, I would encourage you to call and ask if your application status means you are on hold, and/or if your application will be reviewed again. I wouldn't necessarily INUNDATE the office until someone gives you the answer you are looking for - just call once, be polite, and don't try and steer the conversation towards the answer you are looking for. Keep it simple, keep it sweet. They are very nice people and I'm sure people take advantage of that - don't be one of those people! (If you call, let us know what they tell you!)
Again, just a disclaimer: I did not receive any kind of email or official documentation saying that my application is "small-pooled," and it seemed like it would be in poor taste to have requested they provide that in writing. I trust the people in the admissions office know what they are talking about - they work there. Also, there is no "small-pool" status. It is probably a theoretical "pile" or "list" of applicants that the committee plans to look at again at some point in the application cycle - maybe they review them when there is a lull, or maybe they dedicate a week or two at some point later in the cycle to review everyone in the small pool.
Mine does
YOUR APPLICATION
Primary Application received

08/12/2013 Invitation to submit Supplemental Application
09/21/2013 Supplemental Application received
Also did anyone complete around my date get an II yet?
Should I be worried that mine doesn't show a letters row. It does say "under review".
Why so serious?
It took a whole for my letters to show, and I applied 7/03(ish)
i applied a month ago, how long does it take for letters to show?
Was the line for the letters always there? I was complete a month and a half ago, and it's still not there. Status says "under review."

Glad to hear that your interview went well, Mmedran. 👍
For those who are interested, I talked a little about the recent changes in the anatomy curriculum in this post.
Stopping by to wish good luck to all those waiting for good news on Oct 15th! (if that's still the date). I, like eefen, am having a fantastic time at Loyola. It's a lot of work but there is a conscious effort to make it as easy on you as possible. I was one of the ones asking every school on the interview trail last year about students to body ratios for Anatomy, lol. It sounds good in theory, but in practice let me tell ya, it really doesn't matter. You will be drowning in so much info that any chance you get to study (rather than spend hours dissecting in the lab to reveal just a couple of muscles), will be very welcome.
And there's a lot to say for going where the medical students seem happy and have some free time. I'm so happy that I chose Loyola (and that Loyola chose me lol).
Good luck everyone!

That post was really helpful! Thanks.
Rooting for all you September interviewees! Hope today's your day
I'm dying over here
Also I'm struggling to deal with the fact that I'm 1 hour ahead so it's only 9:35 there 👎 I just keep telling myself I won't hear back today
It has always been there since I was complete in 9/21.
Ahh acceptance call just now! 🙂. Congrats to everybody else hearing good news from Loyola soon!

SO HAPPY. first acceptance 😀
SO HAPPY. first acceptance 😀
Anyone there who's still under review?
I submitted 8/9, still no change in status..

What does your status say?
I've been under review since 7/31, about a month ago I changed to "has been reviewed" but then changed back to "under review" less than a day after that
I am also wondering the same thing. If we did not get a call today, are we waitlisted?
LMAO this is awesome. Congrats!
My understanding was that they may not get the chance to call all those accepted, so just wait to see what the letter in the envelope says 🙂
Frankly, I believe in wishing for the best and preparing for the worst... Ive already got loi/update info ready to go if waitlisted...
Remember, it ain't over til it's over!!

It still says it's under review. I'm not sure if it ever changed to "has been reviewed."
You think it's a good idea to e-mail and check if it was in fact reviewed?
Or does this just mean I'm on hold? 🙁
Congrats! Good to hear there's still some movement..
But then again your MCAT score is ridiculous dude.👍

No interview yet (under review), I completed secondary early September. Was I too late?
I was all over the place when I got my call - are we supposed to wait for the letter in the mail that will say everything or should our online account change?
