Hi everyone,

Has anyone done the applications for the MD degree programs such UMED, IMED, and GMED? The applications are now open but I am not sure if you are supposed to generally wait till you are accepted first.

Is anyone considering calling the office today? Do we know whether today is even the day to expect decisions to come out?

If it is today, I would imagine notifications would go out near EOD.
 
My portal changed from “forwarded to ..” to “deferred status your application will be considered at the next admission meeting”

Interesting, mine still says "Your application has been forwarded to the admissions committee."

If you don't mind me asking, when did your status change?


It changed about an hour ago. I had just just checked it like 30 mins before and it was the same so it must have been shortly after that. I interviewed mid November.

When did you interview? Which campus? Would you mind sharing the first initial of your last name? I’m just trying to figure out if there is an order to this
I interviewed on December 8th at Rockford campus. Last name initial is K. I'm IS.

There has to be more than 2 people on SDN getting accepted today if they're doing a massive wave

I mean, there's no reason to believe it won't be a "small" wave, just like it was before Christmas.

Are they still updating people's portals? Mine still has the forwarded message. Is there still hope to hear back tonight?
 
Just called. Lady said they’re still updating portals and it could run through Monday afternoon. No, that does not mean portals will be updated over the weekend.

Do you only get accepted to the school where you interview? My interview is at the Peoria campus. Does this mean if I am accepted I will only be accepted to the Peoria school? Or can I pick after that?

You submit a preference later, but there's no guarantee that you'll get your first choice.
 
Anyone know what time the office closes so I know when to stop obsessively refreshing my portal? :poke:

So I'm assuming they are done updating portals for the day since the office closed at 5pm.

Congrats to all accepted.
Did you just get accepted, or you just check portal? I am wondering if they are still updating the status.

I refreshed the portal like a million times and suddenly a new tab popped up and the status changed from "forwarded to .." to "Congrats of your acceptance..".

Anyone that hasn't had their portal updated at all...do you think we should expect a decision on Monday? Not sure what it means to not hear anything today.
