After waiting 16 weeks and seeing no change in my portal I emailed admissions, and was pooled next day.

Oh dang, just realized I got pooled after only about four weeks. I submitted so crazy late here I assumed I was totally screwed and wouldn't even be looked at for months.
 
Huh, I still haven't gotten pooled after a couple months. What does it say in the portal once that happens?

I lost my mind ages ago in this process tbh

Am I correct in thinking that people who are pooled and then get IIs hear back about a month after getting pooled? That's the trend I seem to be seeing in this thread...

Goodness.... An October II for Mid-January? I'm guessing they're not going to send out much more, if any, IIs at this point :yeahright:....

Instead of being in the "small" pool, it's more like Deadpool ;) which one of us gonna get out of the pool via rejection? Sorry the inner comic geek in me could not be contained :shy:

Accepted as of 5 days ago!!! Interviewed 10/15. The University of Vermont is absolutely a gorgeous campus, and the medical center looks more of a 5 star hotel than a hospital. First time applicant from CA

I don't know if they've changed the timing but I got an II at the end of January for an end of February interview. For various reasons, I didn't have my secondaries done until mid October. The wait's infuriating, but don't lose hope. A number of people from my interview day (which was the last one for that cycle) got accepted, most off the wait list.

MSAR says students cannot become state residents after matriculation. Probably still worth asking (given the drop-off would be roughly $24,500/yr.).

Maybe... could pop up later, who knows.

They say 10-15% of admitted people recieve the scholarship, and awards range from 5k to 25k.
If you missed this scholarship, plenty of others that you can apply for (and financial aid).

I can tell you that some folks have gotten the big scholarships, but they wouldn't be condidered superstars by SDN standards. While some folks have gotten it, and they would be considered super stars (like the folks reported in this thread). There's some holistic-based review involved in this process is my guess.
 
Any guess on how likely it is to get an II from the pool?

Does anyone know if the school provides MS1's with medical instruments - stethoscope, sphygmomanometer, reflex hammer, etc?

We got a stethoscope, BP cuff, and oto-laryngoscope. The campus store has relatively cheap reflex hammers and tuning forks, but for the actual interaction with standardized patients (at least first year) they supply them. You can bring your own, but they always supply what you will need for exams.

Had no update on my status since I submitted my secondary back in July, so I sent an email last week. Checked my portal today and am rejected. This was my #1 or 2 school and the rejection that's hurt the most. Congrats to everyone accepted!

Not that I'm aware. I emailed last Thursday, got a reply basically saying to be patient on Tuesday, then checked my portal today and saw the rejection.

Have a good holiday . You deserve some rest after all of this. Rejection from one of your favorite schools is never easy, especially so close to the holidays. May the new year bring good tidings to you.

OH MAN it was so good.

For breakfast there was quiche, sausage/veggie sausage, fruit, yogurt (maybe, can't remember), a couple different types of breakfast pastries, coffee, water, juice. Pretty good stuff.

They encouraged everyone to take some packaged snacks/protein bars for gamefuel for the day IIRC.

Lunch was Korean BBQ street taco bar. Lots of extras and sauces too. Everything was just so delicious.

I think they regularly review everyone that is on te waitlist. The waitlist is not ranked. I think the biggest movement comes in April after the magic date ( which I can't remember) when students with multiple acceptances have to select one.

That's not true. This is probably the best admissions office I ever interacted with when I was applying. I called and emailed them so many times, sometimes with some pretty "dumb" questions... I'm slightly confused with the comments I've been reading lately, now that I know them personally, I can vouch for how nice they truly are!

Do you guys know if you get some kind of confirmation when your deposit arrives in the mail? I guess pre-med worries never fade lol....
