OOS here with fairly good stats and good ties but I've heard nothing. If previous years hold true, people SHOULD be hearing back this week (Tuesday and Thursday). This year seems odd though so who knows?
what deposit email?
“Congratulations on your acceptance to UNMC College of Medicine! If you have not yet received your acceptance package, it is on the way! A $100.00 deposit is required to secure your seat in the entering class of 2019...”
I interviewed October 5th.
🤢
Congratulations! Are you IS or OOS by chance?
IS!
When did you interview if you don’t mind me asking
Do you mind posting your stats? This is my dream school, and last one I'm in the running for. My MCAT is pretty weak (505) but my GPA is good (3.82). I have a lot of ECs. I'm just wondering the stats of people who have already gotten admitted. I'm hoping so badly for an acceptance here!!
For sure! I interviewed 10/15. My stats are as follows: 3.8 GPA, 508 MCAT. Pretty decent EC's such as 100 clinic volunteer hours, 75 hours of shadowing, 100+ volunteer hours that were not medical related. I did research for 4 years and was published as a co-author on one of the research publications. This is my third time applying to UNMC, I was rejected the past two times for low mcat scores that were below 505. I have take the MCAT a total of 4 times with an upwards trend. I think what really pushed me over the edge to an acceptance was the fact that they can see how hard I worked to improve my MCAT score and that I refused to give up just because I was rejected twice. I think that pretty much sums up all the info about my app but if you have anymore questions please feel free to ask!
Also I know two people with pretty much the exact same stats that you have and they are both still waiting for an answer so hold tight! I'm sure you'll hear soon!
I have stayed off this site for this very reason. Its so easy to start getting negative. That's good to hear, I'm super hopeful!
Best of luck to you!
I was told numerous times by admissions that the interview date doesn't correspond to when your app comes up for review. It doesn't matter if you interviewed the first date or the last. And I can almost attest to this because the past two years I interviewed the first date available and never heard until mid March. I'm 99% sure they review apps in order of how strong the applicants application is.
So basically my ever growing anxiety about not hearing back yet is totally justified!! Haha.
I think they might be going based on interview date? I got my acceptance in the mail yesterday and I interviewed 10/22!
I believe they accept applicants based on order of competitiveness.
This is what I've heard as well
I interview 10/15 with an MCAT score of 508 and GPA of 3.8. Received my acceptance email 2/1 and the letter came two days later. They definitely do not review based on interview date!
I was just about to ask if anyone knew if there was one started yet
haha i looked for it, I don't think one has been started.
I'd hold off on starting one for now! Usually the current M1s will create the page for you. I would try to wait until mid-March as that's when we go on spring break!
I am in the same position (deciding between UNMC and Creighton with Creighton being my alma mater). If you want, you can message me and I can give you my thoughts on which you should choose!
I am in a similar position. Would you mind messaging me your thoughts as well?
I know someone who was rejected on Friday
