Would really love to hear something from UAB soon, it's been 3 months since I interviewed. Any idea as to what is taking so long?

I never ended up calling. Sorry!If you do end up calling, would you mind sharing your response here??
The way I understood the process was that it was fairly objective. You get certain numbers of points for MCAT, GPA, and at each of the stations. That contributes to a score, and then when they feel comfortable offering acceptances for someone with your score, they do. If your score is in the score where most people have gotten acceptances in previous years, but perhaps not quite high enough that a few really great interview groups couldn't leapfrog you, they may be holding off. At our interview they said that it could be as soon as two weeks or not until April. Just one of those things.
Do you know if they take into account the college you attend or your course load? Factors like these could make a significant difference in terms of GPA.
Any OOS students heard back yet from January interviews?
Congrats UABme!! 🙂Accepted! Interviewed Nov 13th
I'm out of state and interviewed 12/11 too, I was accepted on 12/22. Don't give up hope though, there are a few more months and no news is better than being rejected or waitlisted! I'm sure you're still under consideration.Long time lurker here. OOS, interviewed back on 12/11 and haven't heard anything since. Loved the school and I hope to hear some good news soon. Have many of the students from this interview date heard back?
So apparently a formal acceptance letter with your campus assignment comes in the mail after you receive the email. How long after your acceptance email did you have to wait for this letter? Thanks!Received campus assignment today. Birmingham.

On another note, anyone have any idea where they are going to live next year? Apartment ideas?
I was also accepted early November and have not received a formal acceptance letter in the mail yet. Campus assignment is Birmingham (yay!). Also interested in hearing more about living possibilities for Birmingham (safer areas, in particular, without a bad drive). I have heard Homewood and Mountain Brook are good, but was interested in whether or not downtown is dangerous. Would prefer walking distance if it is safe.
I am currently an undergrad at UAB and have lived here for almost 4 years. That being said, there are alot of nice places within walking distance of Volker, but there are also a few sketchy places. It'll all depend on what you want to spend. Cityville, Crowne on 10th, bristol, and several other condos are all very nice.I was also accepted early November and have not received a formal acceptance letter in the mail yet.

Based on previous years, it looks like the last round of acceptances and the wait list emails went out around late-March to April. Seems to vary every year.Anyone know when they make the final cutoff and notify the wait list people what tier they are in? I assume it's sometime soon...

I've always been interested in pediatrics! You?Me too! Accepted with Tuscaloosa assignment. Any idea of a particular field yet?
The first week it came out. I believe it was in September. I spoke to another person who has a really strange residency issue so I feel they might be corralling all of us with similar situations to interview on this date.Congrats! When did you submit your secondary application, @rugger4?
anyone else interviewing thursday? classic weather for an interview day.
Anyone from the 2/12 interview hear anything? He mentioned it would be about 2 weeks when they would meet.
well not anymore. I guess that March 26th will be the last interview date.I'll be there!
Yeah, I was literally leaving my house when the email appeared. Bummer.....well not anymore. I guess that March 26th will be the last interview date.
same. i'm glad i looked though. I feel bad for people who already flew or drove in though. wonder if they'll get reimbursed.Yeah, I was literally leaving my house when the email appeared. Bummer.....
Yeah, my interview was snowed out with UAB last year and it seemed to push everything back.I doubt anyone that hasn't heard back yet will until April 1st due to this interview being moved back. UAB says that they will have all decisions made by that date so I would gander that will be next big decision time.
Thats a relief-I keep on thinking they meet every week and say nah-not that kidAccording to this blog and friends that have been accepted, UAB has not accepted anyone in nearly 3 weeks. I though that UAB did a rolling admissions process. I know that the weather postponed an interview day but still, 3 weeks is a long time to go without accepting anyone. Any theories or insider perspectives as to why the rolling admissions process has virtually came to a halt recently?
That's doubtful since the rescheduled interviews from the weather are the last Thursday in March (the 26th). It may be a possibility that they add more applicants to that last Thursday.Does anyone know if they are still giving out interviews?
