Well I got into UNC by phone on 10/15 and then didn't get the official e-mail till 10/23, so especially with Christmas this week I feel like it could potentially be a while
No scholarship here. Really hoping to see if some money ends up coming into the picture. Would make the decision very easy
About an hr ago!!
Just got the call!! First acceptance!! They said that emails and letters will be sent out in about a week!
Did they say things during the interview day about scholarships being awarded at the time of acceptance?
I wrote down on my notes that scholarships are mentioned with the acceptance. Idk if that means with the call or with the email.
Yep, they give it with the acceptance. But if your caller didn't mention it, he/she might have just forgotten (mine almost did). Look for it in the official letter. Congrats btw!

vandy is an incredible school yall. i went to undergrad here and just absolutely loved every second. !!!
I got the call from one of the deans this afternoon...accepted with full scholarship!! I am very, very excited. Interviewed in early November and I fell in love with the school. Can't wait to meet others at second look weekend! Congratulations, everyone!!
I got a call about half an hour ago, so they could very well still be making calls!
In past years they did call over 2-3 days, so hang in there!
Congrats to all those accepted. Hope to see you in next year's incoming class.
Also I love how VUSM is tagged as taylor swift school of medicine in the upper left corner

Just now got a call, interviewed early November 😀
On my phone call the dean specifically mentioned they liked my leadership experience and my academic performance at a top school
omg accepted plus scholarship!!!! Did NOT expect this at 9:40pm in the evening!
To all others out there still waiting, the lady mentioned that they want to give out all the acceptances today rather than waiting for tomorrow so they're still making calls!!!

ACCEPTED with 75% scholarship!!! The call came around 30 min ago...
Are they calling by alphabetical order?
My name does happen to be near the end, so maybe. 🙂

My name's not. ): *STARING INTENSIFIES*
awwww don't worry. I've seen you all over the threads and you're doing great 😀 keep up the cheery optimism that got all of us through the whole process!
Aww, thanks! You're right. WE ALL GOT THIS.
Congrats everyone! Stoked to interview here the beginning of January.
On interview day did they mention a.) they still plan to give 75% of the class 75% scholarships (this was stated by the director of admissions at an info session at my school several months ago)
Or b.) that the acceptance rate was still going to be well north of 50% for interviewed candidates? Alternatively, that they are interviewing same number of candidates as years past ~400?

This cycle they plan on interviewing about 450 people. Roughly 200-220 of these will be accepted. I'll let y'all crunch the numbers...
On my day they said they were giving 6 full scholarships and 50% of the class 75% scholarships.
They said that they are interviewing 450 candidates, don't remember if they mentioned acceptances

Wow that's a doozy
. Are the scholarships only for M.D? or includes the PhD people they interviewed for their new program this year as well?Does anyone know if any more calls will be going out? Or was it just yesterday? 🙁
Depends if they ended up finishing yesterday or not. It's possible they didn't since calls were going out at 10pm EST still--you could probably call admissions to ask if you're feeling ballsy 🙂
Congrats to all who got calls yesterday!!! Bummed I didn't get one, but hoping for good news in February.
We all hope you and others will also hear good news soon!
Not here!

Anyone know if we'll get an email or some sort of notification of deferral if we didn't get a call? Kinda bummed to have not heard anything at all...
Enjoy the holidays! I believe those who haven't been rejected or haven't heard anything are still under consideration and I hope you all hear good news in Feb!
If you check out last year's thread, someone with a September interview was accepted with a scholarship at the February date. So yes, it can happen.
Um, you're the best. That's all.
