Mine came in the mail in CA at my parents house and I think I recall you saying you're from CA so it's gotta be coming! Best of luck!Well I got an email on 2/20 stating that my decision letter was arriving in the mail. It is now 2/24 and I still haven't gotten it..to be fair I live in CA but it's already been 3 business days. Where is it???
I received the news yesterday - unfortunately I was rejected. This one stung quite a bit and I am confused as to their reasoning
I'm sorry to hear that, honestly it's hard to try to understand how ad coms work altogether. Maybe you could e-mail and ask if they could give you feedback? I saw you're already in a school though, so it's definitely not the end of the world! You'll be a great docta wherever you end up I'm sureI am sorry to hear that tooI received the news yesterday - unfortunately I was rejected.

Wish you all the best with the rest of the cycle. As califaxsj said, I am sure you will be a great doc wherever you go Good luck with the rest of your applications.
Congratulations! It was a pleasure riding the neomed application train with you

Awesome. Good luck to you! I was placed in alternate list status... Do you know how far they accepted down the list last year?
They went 15 deep into the alternate list last year. The list had 100 people on it I was told. I think they might have changed the way they're doing it this year though because they have changed their admissions software and organized the interview day differently this year too. Plus, I don't remember anyone getting rejected pre-waitlist last year from the thread, whereas that already seems to have happened quite a bit this year.
Wow only 15? That is quite disappointing.... In the email this year they say "in years past NEOMED has made a significant number of admission offers to alternate list candidates." If 15 is a significant number for them I would be scared and disappointed... I hope this year they are accepting more people...
The class is only around 35 seats for Direct Entry so even if they offer more than 15, it probably wouldn't make a significant difference.
Understand. I guess I was spoiled by some comments in the past years. Some commented 2 years ago that the list of separated into 3 tiers and they accepted people down to mid tier. Assuming 100 people were on the list, mid tier would rank in the 30s. My guess was maybe they handed out 30 offers and around 15-20 people accepted there offers. I understand they might have changed their way of accepting people though.
I believe that the process you described is correct. They may have accepted more than 15 people, but ultimately some of them withdrew. Therefore, they accepted more than the 15 they intended to enroll.
Interesting...but does that mean they have already accepted 20 Direct Entry candidates? I don't get the feeling that so many people have been accepted based on SDN, but who knows. I too have heard the admissions process is a bit different this year (but I have nothing to compare it to personally haha)
Wouldn't the bacc/MD candidates who interviewed this year be applying for a guaranteed spot in the medical school for a future year? It was my understanding that was how it works.
Yea. Based on the email today everything seems to be clear. Also seems like they are planning to send out ranking info for alternate list candidates later. So exciting.
Yeah, long time no see haha. I will definitely keep you posted, please let me know if you get any information as well. I did not get an email today since i'm technically not waitlisted (yet). So it looks like they'll be ranking the waitlist this year? That would definitely be nice.
I did not receive any confirmation so I emailed Ms Munger. She confirmed that the system has recorded my response.
Has anyone seen NEOMED's 2017 match list? I think they did well
Maybe we will hear something tomorrow. They could be ranking and deciding who to offer today.Nada

That sounds promising! Finger cross and good luck!
Yep same. I would even take a vacation day from work just to rush back and open the letter.
Congrats! Do you mind sharing what rank you were?
No problem, I was #11. Hopefully this helps some people with their planning!
If anyone is reading this post in future years, feel free to reach out to me with any questions. It can be hard finding information or advice through internet searches alone. And if the Dean of Admissions is reading this, hi Dean of Admissions! (He seemed to know what was on these forums)
