Do we know the dates of the future meetings? Are there regular meetings still or just advocacy meetings?

The end of April meeting will review applicants who interviewed following last week's meeting. There will be a meeting at the beginning of May to make a ranked wait list I believe. After that, the big mid-May meeting happens a day or two following the double hold deadline. This is when most people who are NFA'd will be either accepted or rejected.

Haha I know, the fact that they let you know by snail-mail is somehow more agonizing, even though two weeks isn't a very long time to wait.
 
Long time lurker. Hopefully there's a lot of movement after April 30th and we're some of the ones to get in. LSU is my first choice! (Even despite a 200k scholarship from another school)
 
Anyone know when we can expect to hear about FAFSA loans?

Indeed. I wish my patience grew with my need for it. How was your experience there? Everyone seemed to either have very short or long interviews that day. Didn't get to share experiences much afterwards.

I had a really good day there! I loved the tour and the students and the admissions staff. Yeah one of my interviews was 10 minutes, the other was 20, and then my last one was 40 minutes so there was a wide range haha. I think the admissions staff who gave the 10 minute interview really had to get to work or something, he didn't interview anyone for more than 15 minutes. What about you?
 
FB group slowly growing.. hoping the new people in the group are all current students

I walked out feeling very happy with how it went! My interviews were similar. The first was at least 30, second around 20, and my last was roughly 10 minutes or maybe less. Was your 10 minute interview with an interventional cardio? By the time I made it outside afterwards, he was already pulling out of the parking garage haha.

Does anyone remember what they said about May meetings? If I remember correctly, they have a meeting in early May to make a ranked waitlist and then they start pulling from that list once the double hold date passes?

My 32 hours will be complete once I get my semester grades in around the 7th. I'm pretty nervous about them evaluating my app again without my 32 hours. So I feel ya.
 
Anyone hearing any rumors about the amount of people that are withdrawing their acceptances? I know its all speculation but I feel like thats the magical question at this stage of the process.

That is the elusive question at this point. At one point, Eubanks said 100 seats were typically declined but seems like nowadays, he's saying 1-50. Is the committee meeting today to discuss candidates who interviewed after we all got our NFA letters at the end of March/beginning of April? This week was the last week of interviews right?

He told us that 50 something was the most ever declined and five was the least. Seems like a realistic range given that they only accept 200. An entire half of the accepted class dropping seems drastic. Have heard that 100 number thrown around here a bit though.
Definitely the last week of interviews though. Big meetings happening here in just over a week.
 
Just sent in my very last letter to update my file/inform of my intent before the big meeting. Good luck to everybody. Crossing all the fingers and all the toes.
 
Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's been a good cycle. One more day until the chips fall. Good luck to everyone and try not to worry or get down on yourself. There's always next year. Stay thirsty my friends.
 
Wait so can someone explain the important dates one more time from here on out? Basically we're all waitlisted right now right?

Tomorrow they will make the actual ranked wait list to pull people from after the double hold day happens. Right now, everyone is just NFAd. If my memory is correct, we will get letters if we makes the wait list. Some are rejected who don't make the wait list. Once the double hold date rolls around, the will send out the majority of acceptance letters around may 15. From there on out, it's a very slow trickle of acceptances. They will also reject a few people if they think the wait list is unrealistically long.

Why do they make this process so shrouded in mystery? You don't think they'll try to send out acceptance letters as soon as possible after the double hold date?

I gave up trying to figure out why they do things the way they do awhile back.
Yes, the majority of acceptances that have yet to be handed out will go out right after the double hold date around the 15th. They can only have 200 acceptances handed out at once, so if more people drop seats between may 15 and July, wait listers will continue being pushed into the class.

Last year people were informed of acceptances around May 6. I thought there was a chance we would hear something before the 15th..?

Ah you're right. Maybe they fill a few dropped seats if they can after the meeting this week.
 
So is there a general consensus on when all current NFA'ers will receive a letter? I was under the impression that there was a meeting this week that would refill the class from those who dropped today and then the waitlist was made after filling those seats. May 15th sounds a little late...does it really take 2 weeks to refill the class from those who drop right before the drop date?
When is/are the meeting(s) in which our fate will be decided?
 
There is def a meeting this week. @canihazMDplease? I was thinking along the same lines as you in the sense that I don't think 5/15 will be the first time we hear something. I think they will make their ranked list and start filling seats at their meeting this week (I believe on Wednesday, maybe Friday) and continue to fill seats thereafter.

If last year is any indication, lots of letters will go out in the next three weeks. It's about to get real!

There will definitely be people accepted right after the double drop date in the latter half of May. Happens every year. Eubanks said that the majority of acceptances at this point are going to move after the double drop date as well.
