Strange. I interviewed 2/6 and haven't heard anything yet. Although I wasn't expecting to hear for another week or so anyways since it hasn't quite been 6 weeks. Best of luck to you! Waiting is always the worst part.
Nope! Still waiting. I know last week was their spring break. Not sure if admissions takes off during that time as well.
From the previous years threads I have read, my impression is that only the wait list is left. I could very well be wrong, but from the school's standpoint they already have over admitted their class so it's simply easier to fill in whatever spots they need with the wait list than risk over admitting.
as someone who interviewed in Feb, for which there is little indication decisions have been released, i have to hold out at least some hope that you are wrong about this...
Over the last few weeks, the only decisions that have come out on here have been that we are on waitlists for a decision to be made later...so sadly, I'm losing hope as well.
So, if we were wait listed from a December interview we could still get in?
So this means if we haven't heard anything yet, the soonest we will hear is next Wednesday?
Within 1-2 weeks after the meeting decisions are sent out, per the staff.
Sorry you said December also, which I guess is confusing because anyone who interviewed in December would've heard something before April. So it makes it sound like they reevaluated people from earlier wait list decisions.
I'm sorry, that's really tough to hear. I hope you find a great school to attend this year.
It was sent via snail mail. I was expecting pure loans but got a need based scholarship. Anyone know if they are renewable and if the award is about the same all 4 years?
The staff at the fin aid office at the U said the awards were renewable. Not sure if the award is the same all through.
I'd be highly shocked if they did. I know that they can see where you have been accepted/waitlisted at this point, so perhaps it fits into the equation, but I'm feel that with the hyper-competitive nature of getting into these schools that it's unlikely.
Yes. I received it from the Twin Cities financial aid office.
I received mine today too. I think if you've submitted your FAFSA info and the online scholarship form that was due in early March you should be getting it in the mail as well.
I interviewed in Feb and got a WL email recently...
Yeah, the waitlist that is really a deferred list. Just a way for them to kick the can some more and delay decisions longer. I think they want to wait and see how many multiple offer folks bail before deciding how many more offers to extend. Just an assumption.
Yea, its a bit of a "dud" email. I suppose its nice to hear something. Biggest thing that is less than exciting about it reading through the thread is there didnt seem to be many/any post-interview rejections, maybe I missed them scrolling through fast, so it doesnt seem that being WL'ed now is much of an indication of which direction (accept, ranked alternate list, reject) the committee may decided of ones application.
I agree--I think it's just a placeholder email, and gives no indication what is next. It's really a drag actually. It doesn't look like this has happened in prior years via SDN, but I could be wrong.
I did receive it!
Nothing. I called admissions this afternoon and left a message. No returned call yet.
anyway, thought it'd be helpful for you to know! Hope everyone is hanging in there! Getting closer 🙂I called yesterday and the lady l spoke to seemed like she wanted to get off the phone before she even picked up. She said April 30 will be when we find outHi friends! I called a few days ago and was told that there likely won't be any decisions/wait list rankings released until the end of the month. I should probably stop calling before I annoy them to no end...
I got the same feeling from her. She does not seem to like getting calls :/
I might sympathize with her if not for the fact that this school has been by far the worst at communicating with applicants of any I've had the good fortune of dealing with.
I agree about this, sadly. I think it's a trick as an applying student to discern out if this is indicative of the medical school generally, or just the admissions process. It makes me worried!
Yeah...the interviews seemed to be good experiences for most, so it seems it's just the admissions process. Let's hope, anyway! Loved this school!
I loved my interview day and also many of the people working in admissions, such as Dean Patel. I have zero doubts that it is a fantastic school and really hope to gain admission here. One really cool thing from my interview day was a presentation by Dr. Michael Howell on sleep disorders. Earlier this week a Yahoo! article featuring his work and an interview with him was posted on their main feed. I saw the headline and thought the study sounded familiar, and when I clicked the link I discovered it was in fact the exact same physician from UM that presented to my interview group. My only gripe is with the lack of communication, and lack of punctuality when it does come, that I have experienced post interview. And I imagine there is something unusual about this year in particular that has caused this and that it has surely been discussed on how to remedy this for the next cycle.
I agree there seems to be something unusual, and hope at it can be improved. Applying and interviewing is such an intense and costly process, and it's great when you have an excellent experience with admissions to me it all a little smoother.
I agree with all of the above. It was a great interview experience probably my best and seems like an excellent program and I would be beyond thrilled to attend. I just feel like those who have been wait listed are kind of left in an awkward position. As there is still a possibility of admission/rejection and alternative list. And if we are then put on the alternative list does this mean we shall be at the very end with no hope? It seems like there are just prolonging our decision until they sort out how many more acceptances they can give out which is far but it's frustrating to just sit and wait until April 30th or may 15th according to the email. Especially to those who have no other offers.
Hi there--if you scroll up, you'll see that folks were told about April 30, though our letters said May 15....
I think it is supposed to be right on April 30. Good luck to everyone. I just withdrew my application so hopefully there is more waitlist movement.
Hey I will be a M1 and just secured a place in uptown. In the mornings and evenings they have great express/limited stop routes that bring you right to campus. When school is not in session for the rest of students (such as August) there are fewer bus routes but still looks doable.
