How often do you think the committee meets to accept people? Once a week?
I think they offer spots sparsely, but meet once a week
such a tease.. just got the continued interest email.
maybe interesting or not, email was sent a week later (May 15th) last year. I'm clearly reading too much into this.

I agree, I would think applicants who are still interested would be more likely to respond to a request from the school than those who are not.
Also got the continued interest email just now. So glad I saw this post before I saw that I had received an email from EVMS and had a mini heart attack all for nothing

Dude that’s horrible. You see you get an email from them and it’s continued interest? I would probably break my phone. Sigh what a silly and sick game this is.
Does everyone get the continued interest email?
At least someone is thinking positive for the waitlist! Today has been an emotional roller coaster haha
I wonder if it would be worth a call to ask them about the in-state side? Most of the acceptances I’ve seen here are OOS
I assume yes
Congratulations. I have very similar stats and am also in the middle third. I'm conflicted about whether this is a good or bad regarding my own chances of acceptance.

I’m gonna disagree. Don’t bother them. They’re busy. Just stay positive and let it ride.

Thanks—I wouldn’t worry about it or try to calculate it. In addition, my personal circumstances are vastly different than even most non-trads.
Like on a different plane. Probably no impact on what happens with your application.
Accepted off the waitlist today!! in-state!
When did you interview?
Has anyone called to ask how full the class is? I’m curious to know..
Were you IS/OOS? URM/ORM?
Does anyone know when classes start here?
If you don't mind sharing were you IS/OOS? URM/ORM?

sorry, yes! OOS, URM
does anyone know how many applicants are placed in each third of the waitlist?
could I ask which third of the waitlist you were in?
Congrats!! Didn't realize they're sending emails out this late on a Friday
Top third!
Was on the waitlist since November. Accepted today will be withdrawing

If you don't mind me asking, were you OOS/IS, URM/ORM? Also, what third of the WL were you in?
When y'all were accepted off the waitlist, did you find out via phone call, email, or both?

I spiritually relate to this. Trying so hard to stay hopeful that the wave of instate acceptance will happen soon!
It's so hard to stay positive about it when it's already mid May. I'm giving myself until end of the month before I give up and start preparing for the 2019-2020 cycle 🙁
Accepted this morning! OOS, ORM.
I need to decide between EVMS and another school. I feel like I still don't know enough about EVMS to make a decision. Would anyone mind giving me some insight? (I made a school X vs Y thread: Rush Medical College vs EVMS) I'd like to decide ASAP so that I can open up spots for other waitlisted applicants. Appreciate all the help!

Would anyone be able to shed some information on the curriculum structure at EVMS, as well as housing and what students typically do for enjoyment?
IDK specifically for current EVMS students for enjoyment but in Norfolk in general you have the Chesapeake bay, boating on the river, the zoo, the botanical gardens, roof top bars, waterfront bars (waterside), amazing restaurants of all different food types, many microbreweries, festivals all year round, concerts in VA beach, and so much more. I got in to another medical school as well but decided to go back home to EVMS because I just love Norfolk so much. I alsoloved the staff and faculty at EVMS and how focused they are on the community!
