Just went from never even having been marked complete (no letters "received," no indication of "complete," even after 5 months) to rejected, via portal. This one makes me angry. :sour: Wishing you all better luck.

Any news on acceptance/waitlist front? Still haven't heard interviewed 11/14
I interviewed the same day and have not heard back yet. I was expecting to hear this morning, but nothing. They had said on interview day that if we didn't hear back before February, something was wrong. I'm going to give it a few more hours, then I'll probably call just to check up on my app.

If you call and get any info, please let us know! I was also hoping to hear something today :/
 
My portal was updated to ".. you are in the group that may receive an interview". Is this a good/bad thing at Vermontl? Is it another way of saying put on hold? Thanks.
 
Awesome thank you. Whats the likelihood of getting an interview after getting this update?

Because I had some spare time and reeeeally like data, I went spelunking for numbers. Of the 246 applicants who posted in last year's UVM thread, 152 were small-pooled, and 106 of the folks in the small pool were interviewed.

Moral of the story: a lot of people drown in the small pool, but it's still better to be in it than out of it.

Mine has said the same for awhile...I'm remaining hopeful
 
Sorry guys new to the Vermont forum...so my portal has said for a little while that prelim review is complete and I'm within the pool which may be extended an interview...I'm learning this is call the "small pool" so what are the stats for this or getting an interview this late in the game if my status hasn't changed?
 
what was the email?
Dear Student:

As an applicant to the University of Vermont College of Medicine, you may be interested in applying for loans through the Federal financial aid program.

If you haven’t already applied for financial aid, please take a moment to review the important information below about the financial aid application process at UVM. If you have already submitted your FAFSA to UVM, thank you; you may disregard this e-mail.

• UVM’s priority financial aid deadline for submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at fafsa.gov for the 2016-2017 school year is March 1, 2016.
• The FAFSA is the only financial aid application required by the University of Vermont College of Medicine.
• UVM’s federal school code to list on the FAFSA is 003696.
• If you have not yet filed your 2015 Federal taxes, complete the FAFSA using tax estimates to meet the priority deadline (return to fafsa.gov once your tax returns have been filed, update your FAFSA using the IRS data retrieval tool).

We realize that you have not yet been notified of a final admissions decision, however, it is important to submit your FAFSA online by March 1, 2016 regardless of your admissions status.

To learn more about the financial aid process at UVM, please visit uvm.edu/sfs.


But I have a rule in my gmail that flags all emails from the admissions office, so needless to say I got a little excited...

I don't have a decision yet either, but I didn't get the email 🙁
 
Finally under preliminary review- must have happened some time last week or this week. Completed some time late September/early October.

Is it possible to be under preliminary review for months? I don't recall exactly, but I'm pretty sure that's what the portal said right after I was complete in September, and that's what it still says.
