Don't know if it has changed since I was there, but the receptions I have been to took place in the lobby of the Cambria Suites right adjacent to the Riverside campus which includes the medical school. Some current medical students will be there as well as some faculty to answer any questions you may have. Atmosphere is extremely laid back and a finger food buffet is provided. The reception gives you an opportunity to get a feel for the social environment of the school and town and to get out any last minute nerves before your interview (don't worry, the MMI is actually kind of fun in a wierd "I'm applying to medical school" sort of way).

Wow! Okay, thank you so much. That actually sounds like fun! Oh and I am with you on the MMI, I did some practice ones and was WAY too pumped to critique experiments and give my analysis! LETS DO THIS, next!!!
 
Does anyone happened to know if VTC is planning to increase their class size for the 2016 entering class? I see that their current classes are quite small!
 
It's weird. This was the one school I really wanted to attend but in the madness of the application cycle (and schools that have less predictable II offerings), I've more or less completely forgotten about it.

... Come at me, irony. Sweet, beautiful irony ...

They purposely built the school this way and, as far as I know, I believe they are intent on keeping the class size at its current size of around 40 people.
 
Does anyone know when calls will go out for the Oct/Nov groups?

Sometime this month!
There's little to go off of - in past threads, calls went out as early as Jan 8th but that's all I got.
*cue the anxiety*
 
Im wondering if they go in alphabetical order.

Congrats!!

Slowly losing hope as time goes on. 🙁 I wonder when they finish calls?

Thank you thank you!! I'm not sure when calls stop but @VTCAdm said a few posts up that they were just starting today so I imagine that means there'll be more tomorrow too?
 
They called me today not long after their post and I'm in the middle of the alphabet, if that helps you guys.

+1 accepted!!

CONGRATS!!!

And yep I'm at the tail end of the alphabet, and I heard around the same time today. So I definitely don't think it's in any particular name order.
 
Got a missed call/vm when I was at work yesterday, told to call back, got their voicemail -___-


Edit: accepted!!!

As much as I hate to admit it I feel the same way. Looks like it's the waiting game till April for me and you bud. :/

The waiting game is strong with this cycle

+pity+*titanic music*
 
Congrats to those who were accepted! So exciting!

Agree waiting is 🙁
 
Anyone get an II or acceptance with minimal research experience?
 
The VTCSOM Admissions team has contacted all the applicants selected in our January round of acceptances. 🙂
 
First time posting, but I got the email today that I'd be considered again in late April -- they mentioned sending out an update form in their email and I was wondering if anyone knew about the format of that? I worry it might be rigid and it'll be hard to fit in certain extracurriculars...
 
Anyone know if they're still handing out II even though their last interview is supposedly in february?
 
Has anyone who was accepted last week gotten their packet in the mail yet?
 
Me neither. Their email said they would send by priority mail the following week, meaning sometimes last week it was sent. 1-3 business days means it's probably coming Monday or Tuesday... But that's just me guessing haha
 
It's the last week of January. They are going to be sending out the last bunch of II for February 20th - I am anxiously waiting!
 
wait did they already give out the interviews for feb 20th?!
 
Does VTC send out acceptances via email or by phone? Or is it different as to whether you are pulled off the waitlist?

I think generally they do both. In my case, they called initially to let me know and then I got an email a couple days later saying basically all of the same stuff.
