Has anybody IS heard anything yet? They said 6-8 weeks at the interview--hopefully won't take that long.

 

[Heday]

Coming up on three months with nothing (OOS, ties to NC). Any advice? Worth e-mailing admissions or should I just keep waiting?

Nothing yet. It looks like in previous years there were a handful in October, then a bunch of acceptance calls in early November. I'm anxious but I think I can hold off until late November before I become fully neurotic

The 6-8 week guideline isn't firm. Last cycle I interviewed in November and didn't hear back until April.

 

[Ace Khalifa]

Is there anyone else who has interviewed already who's getting tired of waiting? I wish we could send updates...

 

[BioEngMD]

Unfortunately you probably have a lot more waiting to do. Last year I interviewed early September and didn't hear anything until April. I get the feeling that 6-8 weeks is more of the exception than the norm.

Damn, that's really annoying.

Anyone know when the admissions committee meets?

 

[Ace Khalifa]

Anyone know when the admissions committee meets?

I remember from my interview day that Ms. Joni James said the Admissions Committee meets twice a month.

 

[CuriousGeorge93]

Is this week gonna be the week?

 

[Ace Khalifa]

Is this week gonna be the week?

I hope so!

 

[I liek to sing]

My school's pre-health club sent out an email saying they have a UNC adcom speaking at the meeting tonight, and he's coming from an admissions committee meeting!

 

[Terps1011]

Fingers crossed

 

[L_the3rd]

Congrats friend! I believe the obligatory question is "would you mind sharing your stats and the date you interviewed?" =D

[Terps1011]

From what I saw on last years thread most acceptance calls go out later in the week after Mondays meetings.... fingers still crossed hahaha

So they just had their meeting earlier today? Well, I guess I'll be on edge this whole week!

 

[doctormonkey12]

who was your adcom/the committee member that called you?

 

[Ace Khalifa]

Has anyone else who has interviewed already heard back yet??

 

[youcandoitpenguin]

I missed a call from a chapel hill clinic... Called back but just reached a receptionist! Now I'm just impatiently staring at my phone...

Edit 2.5 hours later, I think the adrenaline rush has finally worn off...

Edit 5.5 hours later, no call yet, maybe it was a mistake, oh how I wish I had just run out of the seminar and taken the call

Edit 25 hours of anxious waiting later, ACCEPTED!!!

Is today the day?

 

[allre]

I wonder if some of us will get decisions so soon. My interview was just a few weeks ago so I doubt I will be hearing from them for a while. Did you guys interview in August/September?

Yes, I interviewed early September.

 

[Rumplestiltskin]

Is today the day?

Looked through last year's threads. I think last year the "day" was all adcom dependent. After the adcom meetings people got called randomly throughout the week. *fingers crossed*

 

[bbbaaa]

I got my acceptance call on Monday from one of the people I interviewed with.

Called yesterday 10-31-14 (halloween!) to check on status, receptionist said "unfortunately, a decision was made to not offer you an interview", then I received the rejection email 5 minutes later.

Any news?

 

[CuriousGeorge93]

I think we're at eight weeks since the first interview day.

 

[Ace Khalifa]

I think we're at eight weeks since the first interview day.

Was the first day 9/8? I thought it was 9/1 because I remember trying to schedule my interview and 9/8 wasn't the first date?

 

[jurisburger]

I thought it was 9/3. Not sure though...

 

[NeeleshD]

I thought it was 9/3. Not sure though...

It was 9/8.

 

[peanut989]

Received the supplemental application just now!! I got the "AMCAS application received" email over three months ago...(8/4! haha). I had definitely given up on receiving the secondary, so there is hope for anyone else still waiting 🙂
Congrats to all who have been accepted!!
(Oh and I'm IS, numbers a little under their average)

 

[9iron]

IS II recently 🙂 There's still hope!

 

[allprayers23]

Congrats! When were you complete? Are you a reapplication by chance?

 

[9iron]

Congrats! When were you complete? Are you a reapplication by chance?

Thanks 🙂 I was complete near the end of October, I'm not sure of the exact date. I had waited for the secondary for quite some time. And I'm a first time applicant.

Any news? I thought the committee met today!?
