Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, what are your stats? You can PM me if you would like.
 
What does it mean if you remain in "campus choices received" for months and continue to get passed over for the acceptances? I know they say no news is good news, but this feels like a negative. How likely is it that you wait for months to get a rejection in April, has anyone been rejected at this point?

By March/15, all medical schools have to send acceptance letters equal to their max number of seats.
On Apr/1, medical schools can see profile of all applicants which will show whether they got accepted or not.
By Apr/30, applicants who hold multiple acceptances must drop all acceptances except their top choice (also except waitlists)

My logic is that

1) if I don't hear back by Mar/15, I will probably be waitlisted.
2) By Mid Apr, UAB will come up with a waitlist (with tiers, according to the thread last year)
3) Just after Apr/30, there will be a huge movement in the waitlist.
4) After that, for more seats to be available, people who hold UAB acceptances must be accepted by another school (through waitlist) that they would choose over UAB.

I maybe wrong.
But you can refer to AAMC application traffic rule.

I hope that we all get accepted before Mar/15
 
Thanks! Thats the timeline i have been following as well. The only thing is, and I don't mean this negatively, the assumption that if we don't hear back by ~March 15 that we will probably be waitlisted, what is the basis of this? I am trying to figure out what the likelihood is that you wait for months to get rejected around March 15 or later.

Also, what does that April 1 date mean? Medical schools have the ability to see which schools you have applied and the outcome? Thats interesting, I was under the impression that they already had access to this information. Maybe at this point they can only see the schools to which you applied.

I hope we all get accepted too :arghh:

I think in apr medical schools can figure out whether you have at least one acceptance or not. I believe this means , assuming similar stat, one with no acceptance will be assigned with a higher priority.

Oh gosh. I hate waiting
 
I hope it would mean higher priority acceptance versus less motivation because no competition with other schools. Trying to figure all of this out can really drive you insane haha

Any chance of an interview this late? OOS applicant.
 
Have any Feb. 18th interviewee's been accepted?

Interviewees for 3/10 interview will most likely get informed on coming Friday.
Hope you get invited.

Sorry to hear that man. Was UAB your first choice? You've been accepted to another school, correct?

They will send you an email at some point with the link for you to create your own ID. I'm unsure how long it will take because I was accepted early on and didn't get the email until like February. I'm sure they are more on top of it now!

No, it wasn't my first choice. And yes, I have been accepted somewhere else!
