So yeah I interviewed in Jan, and I thought I remembered March but I wasn’t sure if anyone had a specific date or something? Like is March the end of it?

So do we know if the pre-january interviews find out the same day as the post-january interviews? Since we were told April and they were told early March?
Also I thought only one round of acceptances had passed? When was the second one?

I can't answer that. I was considering emailing them to ask.
Oh I did email them an update the other day and they said April again so idk. I interviewed Dec. 2
Appreciate that! We can update them by email in addition to the online portal? If so, I may just email certain updates..
April is really late. Not only for those who are awaiting a decision, but for those who are waitlisted at VTC. Financial aid, housing, leaving current job, all these things take time. I hope they release decisions by March so we can all make arrangements sooner. I know VTC is a smaller school and very personable but please hurry!
so how often have you been updating/how significant an event or occurrence do you deem appropriate for an update? I have no clue, I've just been doing things.
Haha that is hard to answer. Significance of an event or occurrence all depends on your application really. I think, for me, it came down to what I have done at my job since the interview.. And if an abstract is written etc.. I will update them on that and continue to update on important things I am continuing in my life from my initial application. As far as updates, I have updated once.
fuuuuuuuuck I updated two or three times. One school I updated like 5 times and implied that I had overdone the updates and they were like nah you good son.
So I just noticed the VTC website Timeline/Deadlines says: "March 15 - By AMCAS regulations, Virginia Tech Carilion issues 42 acceptances". Wonder if this only applies to post-December interviewees, perhaps? Not sure why they would tell some people April otherwise...
From my interview (12/2), I clearly should've taken note, but I remember mention of March and April in reference to admissions decisions.

March 15th is when VTC must have accepted their class size, which is 42 spots, per AMCAS regulations. However, VTC Admissions mentioned that they will typically place other interviewed students in an "active status pool", from which they will draw more acceptances should spaces become available later in the cycle. Hope that helps!
Very helpful. thanks!
Is now the time for letters of Intent? Also, what do you write in a letter of intent?
Like: "I hereby declare that I want to come here super duper bad and will do so if you let me. Yours forever, Mcatsaymeow"

I don't have an answer, but I just wanna say I love your username.

Nope! But for some reason I remember coming away with the impression it would be towards the end of March

Also accepted around 11am! Interviewed Feb.10th and was so sure that I bombed the interview. Goes to show that you never know 🙂
Also accepted this morning!! My first! So excited, I loved the school and community!
Hey congrats!!! You made it fam!
To be clear: reserving our seat here still means we can accept another offer later if we decide to? (Doubt I will but don’t want to be impulsive)
Wooohooo!! You too MEOW! =)
And yeah, it's not binding!
To those accepted this morning, congratulations!!
Quick question: did they call you from the admissions office number or a different zip code? I have a missed call on my phone but am unable to check due to work currently.

It's from the admissions number (540)!
I did send an update post-ii. I had a publication inclusion and I threw in how I loved what I saw during my interview.
The only thing I sent was a thank you note after my interview

I didn't send any post interview updates.
Rejected interviewed on 2/10
I briefly looked through it and looks pretty good (some big names and multiple plastics, ortho). Exciting =)
For those interested in the research at VTCSOM, the 4th year students will be presenting tomorrow, March 23rd! The oral presentations will be broadcast live on YouTube. Here's a link to the school website:
VTCSOM Medical Student Research Symposium 2018 |
Edit: Here's the link to the YouTube Site for the research oral presentation broadcast, which starts around noon (according to the website):

I will be withdrawing my acceptance. Good luck to whoever takes my seat!
Thank the heavens. Really hoping I get that spot
If I am remembering correctly from last year's thread, it was April 19th. I am guessing it will be around that time this year.
Where do you see your financial aid stuff?
Nevermind, I got the email!
Yeah, I was wondering that too. The email left it unclear whether it's possible to get remission scholarships for the subsequent years as well. I imagine it's unlikely or they would've been more explicit about it.

Any idea when the April round of acceptance calls/waitlist/rejection emails will happen?
Monica said the earliest we'll start hearing back is end of the week, if not the week after.
Just got the waitlist email.
Withdrawing my application and acceptance. Hoping it goes out to one of you guys!
