Second Look is going to be March 17th! Anyone else going?

Just curious - did you receive info about this or call to ask? I haven't seen anything about it yet.

I'd probably go and maybe drive around to scout out neighborhoods/housing options too. Although excuse my ignorance but what exactly does second look entail?

I emailed to ask since I was planning a spring break trip to visit my sister.

Finally one that isn't scheduled for the exact same weekend as another! I can actually go to this one.

So is it just one day or two like a lot of other ones?

 

[purplefrog13]

I didn't ask details. It's a Friday...I assume one day, but I'm planning to spend a few days around looking at housing. I'm sure if you email Dr. Saguil, he could share more.

This has an article on the first page about last year's second look.

Thanks!

I'll likely attend.

You guys think acceptances for 10/27 interview may be going out this week?

 

[g3712hi]

Any 10/13 or 10/6 still not heard anything?

 

[275RGR]

Any 10/13 or 10/6 still not heard anything?

I am a 10/6 and still have not heard anything yet.

 

[DaBurr2000]

I am a 10/6 and still have not heard anything yet.

10/13 haven't heard anything

 

[webster601]

Any idea when the 10/27 interview decisions will come out?

 

[captainspalding232]

Any idea when the 10/27 interview decisions will come out?

I thought they said 4-6 weeks post interview. 08 Dec will be six weeks so hopefully by then however based on earlier interviewees responses on SDN it may be a little longer.

Does it look like they are backed up at this point? Is it taking longer than 6 weeks for others who interviewed before 10/27?

This is week 7 for me, still silence. 10/13

Accepted Army today!!! Interviewed 10/20

 

[maleflutist]

Accepted Army today!!! Interviewed 10/20

Congratulations! Is it a conditional or unconditional acceptance?

 

[DrDwayneJohnson]

I am a 10/6 and still have not heard anything yet.

+1 waiting for some [insert branch] paperwork to go through though before they can tell me their decision.

 

[webster601]

so that means if I interviewed on 10/27 then I should have a decision a week from today... lol

Accepted Army today!!! Interviewed 10/20

Navy waitlist movement is slow, poor us 🙁 I wonder why the navy is so popular

Probably because it's the best branch! Lol

Has anyone gotten post interview rejections? If so, how and when? 10/13 interview, getting anxious.

I don't think USUHS gives out post-interview rejections this early. It only places ppl on the alternate list, which is incredibly hard to get out of.

Rejected post interview. Interviewed 10/27. Notified by snail mail.

Sorry to hear that. I interviewed on 10/27 as well. When did you get the letter? Was it a straight up rejection or alternate list?

 

[DrDwayneJohnson]

Primary waitlisted -- Army. Hopeful for some early movement!

 

[allanMED15]

Rejected pre-II. Well HPSP it is I guess. Good luck everyone.

 

[TREE TREE]

Just got a status update email from Dr. Saguil. Is primary waitlist different from wait-list? So there's primary waitlist--> waitlist --> alternate list?

 

[DaBurr2000]

There's just Wait list (primary) and Alternate.

 

[Fourier]

I received it friday or saturday, not sure since I didn't check my mail on friday.
And the words 'rejection', 'alternate', 'waitlist', and 'acceptance' did not show up anywhere in the letter. Without containing any of those words or any variation of those words, I had to exercise my well practiced Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills, and concluded that it was a straight up rejection.

 

[TREE TREE]

interview date?

10/6

 

[g3712hi]

I got the email and letter today that I'm on primary wait list. Interviewed 10/13 and preferenced navy

Interviewing here this Thursday. My current plan is to take an uber to the Medical Metro Center and then take the shuttle to USUHS. Is that a good idea or will this backfire on me somehow?! Staying at a hotel about a mile-ish away from the medical center.

That won't be too bad. Actually a pretty good idea. Look around for a group of uniformed ladies and gents at the Med Center Metro stop parking lot and that is where the shuttle will pick you up.

 

[Amantryinghisbest]

Any reason you can't take an uber onto base?

 

[jdhpylo]

Any reason you can't take an uber onto base?

You will just have to walk from the gate to school. Its not a bad walk. I would try to go into the Jones Bridge gate instead of the metro gate.

 

[T800'sThumb]

Any reason you can't take an uber onto base?

Uber drivers tend not to have base access.

 

[Amantryinghisbest]

what's everyone found to be the best way to get on base? I'm thinking taxi

 

[jdhpylo]

I think the easiest way to get on base is the metro. You can take the shuttle to campus from the metro and taxis will just drop you off at the gate. Either way works.

 

[Red Lobster Actual]

You can but the taxi needs to have base privileges. I think the taxi company Barwood is one of them. I used them a few years back.

on behalf of everyone working on NSAB, please don't ride a taxi/uber without base-access all the way up to the gate during the morning rush. The metro station across the road (Medical Center/NIH) is a great place to be dropped off.

Has anyone who interviewed 10/27 still not heard anything?

Me! I was hoping today would be the lucky day to hear some good news... but nothing yet!

 

[Msoderstrom]

Yeah well, let's hope we hear something today! The wait has been killer!

 

[webster601]

I interviewed 10/27 also and haven't heard anything yet. What is the timeline for decisions again? It was 2- 6 weeks right?

 

[Msoderstrom]

Yeah, I believe it was 4-6 weeks and today is six weeks isn't it?

 

[webster601]

Yeah, I believe it was 4-6 weeks and today is six weeks isn't it?

Yeah today is 6 weeks. Does it seem like most people are hearing back by 6 weeks?

 

[Msoderstrom]

Yeah today is 6 weeks. Does it seem like most people are hearing back by 6 weeks?

I'm not too sure I know some individuals who interviewed the same day as us have received either rejections or waitlist notifications, but I don't know how many of us have heard and if there have or have not been any acceptances.

Did they send out the 10/27 waitlists and rejections in the mail? I heard for acceptances you get a phone call

From what I have gathered it seems like rejections went out through regular mail and waitlist notification was sent through email.
