That’s... quite a lot of people
Yes not every applicant is on SDN and even for those who are not everyone posts totally agreed. It's plausible people have been accepted here since October, but not a single person has reported it and I find that very very strange. With your logic about maybe people are getting accepted but not posting, wouldn't we see that on other threads as well? I've seen no other school thread where not a single person has reported an acceptance over a 5 month period during prime application time... idk wtf is going on with RFU
Wait, so 192 spots were extended or are still open?....Okay, I just called admissions (as an admitted student). They said that they have 192 seats in the 2018 matriculating class. They received 14,000 applications this year and are planning on reading all of them before making any more final decisions. A bit annoying that they didn’t release this information but seems like they are taking the ‘holistic review process’ thing very seriously. I hope some of y’all hear soon so I can meet my (potentially) future peers!

Well it's March 15th! After today, we'll know that at least 192 acceptances have gone out. Whether that includes anyone on here or from our interview days, I guess we'll see. Best of luck to everyone!

Does this mean the interview season will extend further than previous years?A current student on my interview day mentioned that they’re trying to interview many more applicants this year compared to previous cycles, which I’m guessing accounts for what seems like a very strange cycle. Hopefully they understand that it comes across poorly, and might push candidates to attend another school if given the opportunity. That being said I think this school is the best fit for me out of the ones I’ve interviewed at, so I’m trying to stay hopeful that I’ll be pulled off the WL.

Sounds like they're really trying to protect their yield, waiting for applicants to withdraw when they get into their top choice etc.Okay, I just called admissions (as an admitted student).

That'd be one heck of an all-nighter lolWait so they want to read all 14k before tomorrow??? Or just all the interviewed apps?

Curious as to how one should interpret the preliminary IM matches?
So there's overlap since those specialties are already listed? So if you add up all of the matches it would be higher than the # in the class right?For certain specialties (Rads, Anes, Derm, PM&R, Neuro), you are required to do a preliminary year in either medicine or surgery.

Unrelated, multiple people have called to check their status and still haven't received a decisionI recommend emailing them if you haven't already. I emailed them after not receiving any correspondence for a month and a half and I received a waitlist notification within a day. :/
It was within 24 hours after calling. Maybe a coincidence, but no one else from the group I interviewed with received a decision that day. It still doesn't hurt to contact them if you haven't.Unrelated, multiple people have called to check their status and still haven't received a decision

I interviewed on 12/01. I finally emailed in early February and received a reply. Maybe just a coincidence.when did you interview?
Yes, several interview invites went out in the last week or so. But don’t fret, they are interviewing through the end of April, and last year people were getting interview invites up until the third week of April or so.
Mid and end of April.Anybody know what dates they are on for scheduling interviews?
Thanks! Here's to hoping that there still is a chance!Mid and end of April.
There is a chance until the last interview day is done.Thanks! Here's to hoping that there still is a chance!
When patients are in the waiting room they are rarely told why their 1:00 appointment has turned into a 5:00. RFU is simply preparing us for this facet of our practice, its apart of their innovative inter-professional curriculumThe reason waiting due to the post-interview hold email is so frustrating is because no one was told why they are waiting. If they would have given a reason, I personally would be significantly less frustrated with their committee.
Has this school rejected anyone pre II yet? Complete mid August still no news from this school.
The AAMC Application and Acceptance Protocols - Admission OfficersWhere is this coming from?
Good to hear!Yes, many people have been rejected pre-interview. If you have not been rejected yet, then you are still in the running
Sorry to hear. When were you complete?Rejected just now
Same. They're probably wrapping up the invites now.Rejected just now
