Interviewed mid November and have yet to hear anything. Anyone in a similar situation? I'm either rolling with no news is good news or they just decided they would not review me ever.

im in the same exact boat. November 13th interview, no response. not really sure of what to make of it.

Does anyone know what the Average Step scores were for 2014 class and the match rate?

 

[Parisah]

Waitlisted per snail mail today. Interviewed mid November. Shame because I really liked the school. Too bad about their waitlist :/

[QUOTE="Too bad about their waitlist :/[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I think their waitlist is basically a way of saying that you were a pretty good candidate but just not good enough vs rejection = your a nincompoop. Their waitlist seems to move about as much as a botox-riddled corpse face.

 

[keevwu]

does anyone know if there is a waitlist for St. Luke's?

 

[PreciousHamburgers]

Did anyone else get a password reset email out of nowhere? I didn't request one...

Anyone know if Temple does silent rejections? "Under Review" since September.. How many interview spots can they really have left at this point?

I had to reschedule my interview, when I called they said last interview day is the 19th and is full.

Oh well, I guess I got a silent rejection. Good luck in your interview!

Feb. 19th

oh dang, i thought they interviewed through March!

St. Luke's interviews through March. I had my interview in Feb, but had to reschedule to March 10th.

 

[HorseshoeLex]

So i guess thats it? Theyre done with regular interviews? Can we confirm this?

Edit: i also thought they interviewed through march 🙁

"TUSM received over 11,000 applications for entering 2014 and reviewed applications through March. Applicants invited for interview are notified by email. Once we have completed review, those not selected for interview will be notified by email."

This is from their website. But it doesn't specify if they review apps thru March for both campuses they interview at or just St. Luke's. So I have no idea

I am going to take this as: they are not a silent rejection school, and once they are done with all the interviews at all the campuses those of us that have been under review all this time will get our rejection emails.

 

[BurntFlower]

Annnnd rejected! At least the silence was broken. 😛

 

[technician]

Anyone else driving down from Boston tomorrow for the St. Lukes interview on Tuesday? I'm worried about the blizzard but hate to ask them if I can reschedule

 

[qwertyuiop5]

Just got an II today. There are still many open interview dates

That is amazing! Congrats! Would you mind sharing when you were complete/stats?

 

[Lost_In_Transcription]

II invite just now. Complete in August. OOS

 

[DrJaySomeday]

II just now! Complete in July. OOS.

 

[rratsa]

Congrats! Did you guys send updates?

 

[E=mc^2]

Just got an interview today! Im a OOS applicant. Completed my secondary in January, so there is still hope for all those who applied late in the cycle!

 

[medlax]

Congrats all... What were your stats?

ask them to reschedule! I did and they accommodated. I think it shouldn't make TOO much of an influence of your chances if you interview 2 weeks later.

Anyone else still waiting on an II?

 

[HorseshoeLex]

*awkwardly raises hand*

 

[TheLionheart]

II earlier today, will be withdrawing app. Hope it goes to one of you guys who are waiting!

 

[Lost_In_Transcription]

Does anyone know if there is much of a difference between the second to last and last week of interviews? It's cheaper to come the last week, but I don't want to hurt my chances. Any advice is appreciated!

 

[Eternalfighter]

me right here...

Have there been any rejections yet?
Has anyone gone on hold here or is everyone "under review"?

Gracias

Yes to the rejection question. IDK about hold statuses?

Thanks! Can't remember exactly, but I was complete sometime in August. LizzyM of 71.

 

[joonage]

Just scheduled my interview. Pretty sure it's the last date of the season.... lol

Anything going to be in Philly on the 11/12th? Let's meet up! 😛

 

[CyrilFiggis]

What dates do they still have available?

 

[Lost_In_Transcription]

Feb 24, 26 and Mar 3,4,5,11,12,13 when I was on there earlier today

 

[MPB]

Just gave up my seat here. Hope it goes to one of you! There are a lot of awesome aspects of TUSM. Best of luck 🙂

It's been 4 weeks since my interview and I haven't heard back yet :[. Not feeling too hot.

Same; how long does it usually take them to come to a decision?

I'm also at 4 weeks post interview. I was told that it's usually 3-5 weeks, but that if you interview after the winter holidays it could take longer because they get backed up. I've also noticed that no one had posted any decisions in a few weeks, which is weird since the committee meets every Friday.
