Why is this thread so empty 🙁. Anyways I will definitely be applying to UNMC, who else is in?

 

[Diddles]

Don't be sad, it will fill up soon. I'm just torn between applying EDP or not?😕

 

[deleted492904]

hahahha I guess someone had to take the first step. Anyways, when is the deadline for EDP?

 

[Diddles]

August 1st. I am planning on waiting to see my MCAT score before I plunge.

Any interviews yet? I was preliminarily rejected on the 16th (OOS), appealed it the same day, and was rerejected on the 18th. However, I received an interview invite this morning? I'm a bit confused....

In state here. I applied via the EDP and I interview September 4. Anyone else planning on being in Omaha that day? I visited with the associate dean ( Dr. Hill) and he said OOS really have a disadvantage at UNMC unless you went to a school in Nebraska. Good luck to everyone applying.

I'm interviewing on the 6th of September. I thought both EDP interviews were on Fridays. Anyways I may see you in September. Best of luck to you!

 

[hohwielerbr]

Oh you're correct. The interview is on the 6th. See you then.

 

[amweatherly]

Just got rejected 4.0/32 OOS

 

[hamsawx]

Are there essays on the secondary for Nebraska?

 

[Johansef]

No....I think you just pay and that's it? That's what I just did.

Hello all!

Does anyone know if UNMC offers interview invites to all in-state applicants? Anyone have any statistics for number interviewed versus number accepted?

Thanks, good luck to everyone!

 

[Beepboop]

Hello! For those who have gotten a secondary, is there a place to put affiliations your relatives might have to the school? My dad used to work there and I'm hoping this will maybe put me in better light than a typical OOS.

 

[J2017]

I am a M1 at UNMC if you have any questions I will do what I can to answer them.

 

[hohwielerbr]

Does anyone know if the ad. committee discusses every EDP applicant and then sends all the letters out at once, or do they let the applicants know as soon as their status has been determined?

I just received my acceptance today in the mail for EDP! So I assume they sent them all out. Good Luck to everyone!

 

[hohwielerbr]

Congrats. I was also accepted through the EDP. My letter accidently got sent to my parents' house. Had me worried for awhile.

any interview advice for OOS applicants? i just got my invite today!! 🙂

I would say definitely make sure that you try to show them how you have ties to Nebraska. That is a major thing they want to have people that have a high likely hood of staying in Nebraska. Other than that is a pretty laid back conversation, they are just trying to get a feel for the kind of person you are.

 

[Zelda840]

I applied pretty late, but I am reeeeeally hoping I get accepted here. This is where my sister was treated and I am in state so I am hoping my ties to the school and my good gpa will make up for my subpar mcat and late application. Fingers crossed!

 

[Grffin]

If you are in state you have a good shot! Good Luck!

 

[westwoodMD]

Wow this forum is super quiet... Good luck to all of those who are in the interview process or simply waiting for that glorious acceptance letter. 🙂

UNMC Class of 2018!

 

[AChE]

Is this school rolling admissions? Any acceptances yet?

 

[Zelda840]

At my interview, they told me that the first round of decisions would go out mid-December.

 

[PreMedMaverick]

At my interview, they told me that the first round of decisions would go out mid-December.

My understanding was that the committee would review interviewees in mid-December and send out the first round of decisions after the holidays.

 

[aeh82477]

For the last few years, notifications have gone out as early as mid-December (according to old threads). Let's hope the trend continues!

 

[spooty1189]

Has anyone heard anything from UNMC ? Interviewed mid-October

 

[PreMedMaverick]

Has anyone heard anything from UNMC ? Interviewed mid-October

Nothing yet. It should be any day now.

According to the old UNMC threads:
Last year, the first round of acceptances were received via snail mail on 12/20.
The year before that, the first round of acceptances were received via snail mail on 12/15.

 

[Zelda840]

Eeek - so nervous! This is the only school I interviewed at.

 

[spooty1189]

Agreed. Very anxious to find out. Waitlisted last cycle so it's been a long process for sure.

[PreMedMaverick]

Is it bad that I have this thread bookmarked, and I check it everyday?

Nope, it's 100% acceptable to become neurotic over this whole process. I mean... for all we know, the adcom could be debating my admission decision
As.
We.
Speak.

 

[spooty1189]

Any news out there? Anybody been to the mailbox today?

 

[WooglinsWill]

.

 

[AChE]

No activity at my mailbox either! Perhaps the people receiving them are too busy celebrating to post about it on SDN?

 

[Zelda840]

I too have been obsessively checking the mailbox. Nothing but an ad for cable service today. 🙁

 

[spooty1189]

I would guess they didn't meet or send out anything yet. Stinks.

 

[PreMedMaverick]

I got the big envelope from UNMC in the mail on Christmas Eve!
I am accepted!
Best Christmas Present EVER!

Acceptances should start flying out the door now!
I hope all my fellow SDNers got good news/get good news in the near future.

 

[AChE]

Congratulations!! And thank you for posting! Are you an in-state applicant?

 

[PreMedMaverick]

Congratulations!! And thank you for posting! Are you an in-state applicant?

Thank you.

Yes, I am in state. The letter was postmarked December 20th.

Congrats! 🙂
