Last year's sdn thread reported that the decision status in the portal would change to "uploading decisions" which took a few hours and then were viewable at around 4:30-5pm central time.

Accepted in November and just heard about financial aid a couple days ago. I'm sure you'll hear soon!

And good luck to everybody here today, I have my fingers crossed for you!
 
Today is the day that determines if I either go to medical school in the fall or retake the MCAT (not as high as I was hoping) haha. The other schools I am waiting on won't get back to me until May, which is way too late to gamble not retaking it. I am confident but I am also realistic. Here we go!
 
Just got the e-mail also. Waitlisted (Alternate list) OOS. Congrats to all those accepted!

At my interview day, they said they rank all applicants and then take the top x number they need to fill the accepted students, then the next person becomes waitlisted person #1. So our positions and fates have been decided.

Have you gotten an email? I didn't get an email about decisions being posted either.

Apparently they should upload close to 5pm or before, so I think we still have time. From what I gather, we will hear something either way!

5pm CST right? I am going to go get dinner and attempt to distract myself until 6 EST then... hoping for good news for us!
 
I know we are all figuring it out, but does anyone have an accurate number of IS alternate list movement from years prior?

    Final pooled as well. Just to clarify, final pool is not the same as waitlist, in the sense that in a waitlist, there are no spots available, and you are just waiting for someone to drop. My understanding is that Carver holds spots open specifically for final pool, so you still have a fair shot at acceptance (but also may be WL or R)
    Just to add some information. Final pool your application is reviewed a second time and given a score in several categories and then a total score. The following is a proposed list a categories from last years forum.

    1) MCAT
    2) sGPA/cGPA
    3) Clinical Experience
    4) Interview
    5) Personal Statement/Secondaries
    6) Volunteering

    After review in the final pool you have three possibilities
    1) Accepted
    2) Denial
    3) Waitlist: There are separate waitlists for both IS and OOS applicants. The IS is 50 spots and OOS is 100 spots. OOS waitlist spots seem to be strange in how many end up matriculating to CCOM and it has been as low as 4 and as high as 90 in years past. IS is a little more consistent, here’s the past few years:
    2017- 29 spots
    2016- 19 spots
    2015 - 31 spots
    2014 - 24 spots
    2013 - 28 spots
    2012 - 31 spots
    2011 - 24 spots
 
Rejected out of the final pool. OOS. Weird, I don't know why they would final pool me and then just reject me outright, but med school admissions is a mysterious business. I have my acceptances, I'm happy, but I would have loved at shot at this school. Good luck everyone!

+1 for all you've said. I feel the same exact way.

Congrats on your other acceptances though!!
