I felt like there was a decent amount of walking, especially if you plan to do the campus tour. Heels are fine, but I would go as low and comfy as possible (especially if you're not used to heels/don't wear them often). There's enough to worry about on interview day so making yourself comfortable is one less thing to worry about and will help you feel more confident.
Thanks
You’re welcome. We certainly did walk, but it wasn’t an overwhelming amount. We crossed the street for financial aid, I had parked my car in a parking garage up the street from Van Nuys, and depending on how you’re scheduled you might not even get the mini tours they throw in.
Wow what a roller coaster of emotions. I would probably rule this as a false alarm. I doubt the committee has met for February decisions yet and the portal doesn’t change until about a week after the letters are sent out. How weird though
Yeah seriously
This depends on where your interview is held. I was also contemplating wearing heels, but was glad I didn't because my interview was at Eskenazi hospital, and it's the farthest walking distance from where you'll be for check-in/info session/finaid session. It's not like it's a mile or anything, but it's a nice little walk and I was glad I didn't wear heels. Of course, you won't know where your interview location is until you get there, I would just keep that in mind.
I mostly wanted to know how the environment is at the Muncie campus. Class size? How would you compare it to other campuses? What's the best thing and worst thing about it?
Thanks. Might opt out of heels as well.
Omg that's my exact list right now! Nice.
Well if it works out got both of us, we can be pretty sure we’ll end up at the same place pretty much lol.
I've put it in my mind to not expect to hear anything until at least April. At least that way, I won't go crazy looking. It also helps that I don't live at my home address documented on my application, so I can't check the mail like crazy either.
Every campus is great in its own way. I can reassure you that each campus has its pros and cons but at the end of the day you'll be receiving the same information. I am currently at Indy and I have really enjoyed my experience here.
They don’t put people on the waitlist until May. I talked to someone who said they put about 100 people on the list. The person I talked to didn’t get in until August 1st. No clue how it works or what his position on it was
What I’ve noticed is that they’ve been pretty conservative with it so far based on SDN acceptances as they’ve mostly accepted people with ridiculously high stats that are most likely not going to attend this school so I’m guessing towards the end they will begin accepting people closer to their average
Yeah I don’t know my status yet. I’m just wondering if I do make th waitlist how likely is it that I’ll get off
I think (and I may be wrong) that they make the waitlist starting on March 15th. According to the IUSM admissions webpage, traditional acceptances end March 15th and alternate acceptances run from April 15th - May 15th. This also kind of makes sense because the AAMC traffic rules say that schools have to offer as many acceptances as they have seats in the class by March 15th.
Ok yeah that makes sense cus I did see ppl getting accepted in April which made me think it was just a normal acceptance but that makes sense!
I’m shook
It's essentially a waitlist I think, except that it's given much later in the season and more of a "high priority" waitlist type deal.
So I actually got an email the Friday of the decision re: campus site selection, and I called in to ask if that meant that I had been accepted, which they confirmed. So if all else fails, you can always call in and ask if you've been accepted haha
Lol. Was this on the 15th or was it a different date?
It was actually on the 19th. I didn't get the letter until like.. the 26th lol.
Wow the 26th that’s insane. I wonder if all decisions truly go out on the 15th. Well I’ll sure be hoping for that email.
Oh wow, and does your status say "in process" or "under consideration"
Does this come to your email? And also is this email sent around the 15th if accepted?
