2014-2015 Virginia Commonwealth University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Rejected, IS interviewed in late October, second go-around. Guess it's just not meant to be, MCV.
 
Anyone know if we can find out where we are on the waitlist? And does everyone get the same waitlist status?

This was on the application status homepage:
"As you know, we do not give out any details on your rank on the list. Be assured we will notify you immediately when we are able to offer you an acceptance."
 
Waitlisted too, interviewed back in early October. OOS, 3.7c/3.63s/31. Keep your heads up everyone! I heard VCU offers a full tuition scholarship to the last person accepted off the WL. Sorry to all those who were rejected post-interview.
 
Wait listed too..interviewed early February. OOS

Waitlisted as well. Interviewed back on 1/8. I'm curious as to how the two option "alternate list form" affects your ranking on the alternate list. Oh well. Good luck to everyone.

I was only given the option of answering whether or not I was accepted elsewhere when I clicked the "Alternate List" button at the top of the page. What two questions are you referring to? Am I missing something? lol

Whoops! I meant two option not two question.
 
Waitlisted, interviewed in Feb. 3.85 science GPA, 3.81 cGPA, OOS, 33 MCAT
 
Waitlisted, OOS.

I have been accepted into DO programs, but not to any MD programs. Does anyone know how they consider two alternate list questions? I want to reply that I have not been accepted to any other (MD) programs, since I would prefer to attend an MD school. Would this technicality be okay?

Think of it this way... People who have been accepted to other MD programs must put down accepted since in April, and I quote from AMCAS, "medical schools will have access to the National Acceptance Report, which lists every applicant with an acceptance or matriculated action." However, since DO programs do not share the same application system, MD programs would not be able to see your DO acceptances. Thus, how you choose to proceed with this information is ultimately up to what you feel is the right course of action.
 
Also waitlisted yesterday. OOS LizzyM < 70. Interviewed late October. Withdrew from list. Good luck to everyone!
 
Waitlisted yesterday. OOS. I interviewed in early December. Really hoping for good news, I loved this school!

Not much else you can do but wait like the rest of us. I'm also waitlisted, but very happy I wasn't flat out rejected. If you know some people at MCV or know anyone with connections you might want to think about talking to them, which is what I am going to do. Have you been accepted or waitlisted anywhere else?

Wow. Why did you even do a post-bac!? / I can't believe you didn't get in! You seem to be a very strong candidate!
 
Does anyone know how big the wait list is for IS and OOS? Are we talking like 50 or 200?
 
I'm really curious to see what the board scores are like for the students who completed the new curriculum. I'm so excited to start! Beautiful lofts nearby, an incredible building and facilities designed by the same firm that design the Grand Louvre, and team-based learning!

Thanks. I did the post bacc because my degree is in Math, so pretty light on the sciences. Plus, I graduated in 2004 and hadn't taken a biology or chemistry class since the '90s. I also don't have much shadowing or research experience, so my guess is that that is why I haven't been accepted yet.

Man, congrats! I'm OOS also and hearing that they've begun to move down the list is making me super anxious...

Anyone have an idea when we could expect to get financial aid packages? It looked like it came out late April last year, but since we only have til April 30 this year to decide on a school, maybe we could expect it sooner?
