Does anyone know if there were any interviews between 11/18 and 12/6? Trying to gauge how much wait time I still have ahead of me. Argh.

11/25 for sure, so there must be some other interview dates.

Thanks! I know I still have a long time to wait but work has been slow and I don't have much to distract me besides reading old posts and trying to determine when I will know where I will be living in 6 months!

Gosh do I know that feeling! Just go back a few pages and you'll see similar freaking out ahead of my decision date. I was just glad I got in, but now that I think about it, it was really ten weeks between when I interviewed and when I heard back.

It's not much of a help, i know, but the time will pass and you'll find out soon enough. Just hang in there, keep your mind off things, and it'll go faster. Good luck to you and everyone else still waiting 🙂
 
Next meeting for them is the 22nd?

That'd be my guess. In aforementioned freaking out period I stalked last years thread and found they tend to meet every other Wednesday. So if they met last week it'll be next week.

Thanks for the info. Wish they would meet every week following the holidays after being so backed up. Oh well.

Also congrats on the waiver!
 
I called the office this afternoon and asked if any decision calls would be made today or tomorrow. The answer was no because Dean Patel is not in the office until next Tuesday. This is turning into a bad joke >.<

I just checked to see when you interviewed and I'm so sorry you've had to wait so long to hear back! I interviewed last month and I'm already getting anxious so I can't even imagine..

I guess "early" this week actually meant late next week?... I need a beer..
 
I know that no acceptance call will go out until Dean Patel comes back on Tuesday, but what about waitlisted or rejections?

Looking back I think the last time someone posted an acceptance here was early December... other than that it's been just waitlist emails.
 
I was working in the ED today and after my shift, I got a voicemail message from Jeff Pilacinski. The message told me to call him back and of course when I did at around 5:50pm, he wasn't there. Should I be excited about this? Or are the only acceptance calls from Dean Patel herself?
 
H'm. It sounds like if you haven't yet been accepted theymight need info or a clarification. But idk. Good luck to you!
 
I was able to contact Jeff today. Unfortunately, he was just calling to clarify something with my application, but he informed me that my application will be reviewed by the committee today, so I should be finding out in 1.5-2 weeks per his report!

When did you interview?
 
I requested to get into the Facebook group over a week ago and haven't gotten into it yet. Anyone else having the same problem? I would like to post asking if anyone is looking for a roommate.
 
Just got rejected. Interviewed 11/25. Stats for those still waiting to here: 34, 3.80, OOS
 
I got straight up rejected if anyone was wondering. (aka no waitlist)
 
In the rejection email, it says "We are in the process of developing a new feedback program and hope to implement this in the spring of 2014; please visit our website at that time. You can also refer to our website for the criteria used in our evaluation and selection process. " Unfortunately, it implies that feedback can only be obtained in "spring" which is incredibly vague.
 
Sorry for the confusion. I was WL not rejected.

IS, 3.89 32.
