Pre-interview Rejection via the portal, OOS, LizzyM ~71. Complete 8/22, Small-Pooled 01/19.

Best of luck to those of you waiting for post-interview decisions!
 
Rejected via portal today too. At least I'm not drowning in the pool anymore.
 
Rejected pre-interview invite, via portal, today as well. Ah well. Ditto on the "at least I'm not drowning anymore" sentiment.
 
Just received news that I'll be receiving a full ride here through both private scholarships and federal funding. Couldn't be happier.

Wow! Is that need based, or VT resident, or really early accepted with awesome stats? Or all of the above? Congrats!!

After reading this, I checked the portal and it turns out they'd silently rejected me pre-II today. Haha what are the chances?

UVM and Oregon H&S are the only 2 med schools I applied to that did pre-II silent rejections.

I am a VT resident but that did not apply. Part of it is related to being a wounded veteran/Marine/purple heart recipient, the rest was merit based.

That is so awesome. I love hearing stories about people receiving aid who deserve it! Congrats!!

I had a few schools give me the silent boot pre-II. Maybe 4?

I think your service is merit enough. You should be paid to go to school. Thank you for giving so selflessly!
 
So my application portal has been stuck on "under preliminary review" for like 5 months now. I emailed the office of admissions asking if there was a problem since I submitted in late July (this was not the first time I had asked for an update on the issue) and they finally answered me with a rejection. However, it wasn't a formal rejection email, just the office staff member replying to me and my portal still says "under preliminary review"!!! At this point, I honestly think they lost my application/never reviewed it and being so late in the season they marked me as rejected instead of even looking at it, which is really sad because I would have LOVED to interview here and have been tirelessly keeping them updated the past few months. All I can say is I'm frustrated by the situation, not so much the rejection, but I wish you all well and good luck if you're still in the running!

I emailed them several times over the past few months and every time they said "Your updates have been added to your file. We expect your file will be reviewed shortly and we are sorry for the longer than expected waits". I understand that it could take 6-8 weeks, but 8 MONTHS?! I shudder to think this is how they do things but I honestly believe they lost my application being that my portal stay hasn't updated and that the rejection came from the Office of Admissions secretary and was not an official form-rejection. For the amount of money I paid for the application fee, I at the very least expected my file to be reviewed.
 
Anyone know the status for the interviewees from the February 7 date? Tried calling today - no one picked up...

I feel like we were forgotten, lol. Pretty sure the office said we'd hear back the beginning of March.

Meep.

Their last interview was last week. If you didn't interview I think it's safe to consider it a silent rejection.
 
Well that last group of people on this thread that were accepted seemed to be accepted on a Thursday (2/18) so maybe tomorrow??? The anxiety is killing me.

2/18 was a Wednesday, hence why I thought today. idk at this point, I will prob call after April 1st if not by then. I loved this school and am hoping for the best
 
If someone ends up calling to see where they are at please let us know! Thanks
 
UVM Closer Look on Monday, hope to meet some SDNers there.
 
I would imagine this is the week many of us 2/12 interviewees find something out. Good luck to everyone! Vermont was such a beautiful place and even though it is considered a "middle tier" program I would chose it over many other "top tiers." I'm hoping for some life changing news this week!
