Have you had a chance to submit yet? And receive an email about payment? I submitted but its four days and no payment email

I literally just submitted today, I'll let you know when I hear back!

I did just get an email confirming receipt of the head and shoulder photo, did you submit that? If you haven't that might be the reason for not requesting payment yet...

Yep I got that submitted as well but I emailed yesterday and they haven't entered applicants in the payment system yet but should be getting an email about it today.

Thanks

Just received my supplemental application today! Very exciting, as this is my top choice. Just wondering if those of you who have received a supplemental are also South Dakota residents??

SD resident and just got the II yesterday and this is my top choice as well...good luck!

Thank you!! Good luck to you as well. Do you know if it is it true that if you are a South Dakota resident and receive the supplemental, you are automatically granted an opportunity to interview?

I believe that is correct....read it on the website and in another thread

 

[physicianhopeful123456]

farmdoc, have you received an email with dates available for interview yet? They said it could take 4 weeks, and its only been 2, but I am so impatient! haha

Yes, but they just emailed and asked if I had any availability a certain week instead of giving specific dates to chose from like some other schools. And that was about 2-3 weeks after payment and they may have a few more applicants now so no need to worry!

Do any INMED applicants on here have an interview invite? I haven't heard anything and was complete in early October.

How about that committee meeting being postponed!? Unless you were already accepted lol. I am getting anxiety waiting!

I just checked, and it's 45 degrees in Sioux Falls today. So, they have no excuse this time around! 😀

Lol! I did the same thing!!! So, from the email that was sent out, it sounds like we will only be getting letters...no emails. Is that what you got from It?

The last round was only letters too I think. But they got them by Wednesday. Good luck!

Hey! Thanks for the reply! Good luck to you as well if you're still waiting!

Fortunate to be accepted but thank you!

I applied to the MD/PhD program. I was told that they would have a meeting in January where they would decide if people would be accepted or placed into the MD pool, but I haven't heard anything since my interview in November. I assume it was discussed at the meeting on Saturday.

 

[GoColts10]

Has anyone heard anything?

 

[physicianhopeful123456]

Has anyone heard anything?

Nothing yet! I'm assuming since they are only sending letters it will at least be tomorrow until we get them. They also had blizzard conditions east river yesterday and today, so that could delay it!

 

[physicianhopeful123456]

REJECTED! Lol guess I'm going to Washington!!

 

[nontradmedman]

REJECTED! Lol guess I'm going to Washington!!

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure SoDak lost a very good one. Good luck to you in Washington!

Would love it if this year's thread did what last year's group did and let people know when they were pulled off the waitlist. Seemed like a very generous thing to do.

Also, I suspect everyone on the waitlist would love for all of those with multiple acceptances to go elsewhere (Mayo, Creighton, Harvard, SLU, etc.) . . . as it would seem like a very generous thing to do! I'm also sure that we waitlisted folk could find the means to pay for your med school if you go somewhere else! #gofundme #gosomewhereelseprettyplease #wewillgiveyougoodreferralswhenyoucomebacktoSoDak 😉

I would have loved to attend USD, as I'm a born and raised South Dakota girl! Oh well, at least I am going somewhere! Good luck to you, I hope you get pulled off that waitlist!!

 

[TheMedlWaffle]

Anyone know the MSAR data on waitlist acceptances?

 

[duopy]

Hey ya'll,

I withdrew my acceptance about 30 mins ago. Best of luck to those on the waitlist!

 

[TheMedlWaffle]

Has anybody on here called and checked if the waitlist has moved at all?

 

[back2skool]

Thanks for the info duopy, good luck at your chosen school next year!

 

[mesosalpinx]

I was rejected from the MD and MD/PhD program, so I'll be going to school in New York. I am also a life-long SD resident. Congrats to everyone accepted!

 

[back2skool]

I checked with Jill yesterday morning and at that time the wait list had moved 5 spots. Good luck everyone!
