Where do you live? I live on the Northshore so that might be why mine is here already. It could be a good thing for you! :)

Well, my mail doesn't come until almost 5:00pm daily, so I'm honestly a nervous wreck right now knowing it's coming and it'll be hours before I know anything! If there is anybody who is getting a letter today, hope you update us asap and earlier than mine will arrive. Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. And literally have no clue what I will do this next year if I don't get accepted. I already did the master's route and think my MCAT would be what holds me back.

I’m in this exact position. Just finished my masters 2 weeks ago. I’m thinking if I get bad news, I’ll retake my mcat and probably do tulane’s one year masters program. They can't say no to 2 masters degrees, right?! :lol: lmao

Same here, my mail comes around 3-4pm each day. Glad that after waiting since early March that I'm finally hearing something. I'll update as soon as I know though!

I didn't receive an informed delivery notice either and I also just finished my masters. I'm hoping they waited to make a decision on us since they didn't have our final transcript until last week!

That was the day that I sent it. I received an email that they would add it to my file yesterday. I had a prereq on it, which is why I'm thinking they hadn't made a final decision on me yet.

SAME! Lmao. And my mailman is lazy sometimes and doesn't drop off the mail even when I see it in the informed delivery. You better believe if that's the case, I will park my ass at the post office and wait until he pulls in from his shift to get this letter.

Me currently:

If 505 MCAT is low, you baws don't want to know what mine is. It's why I'm having the difficulties I'm having, but it still stands that others get in with lower MCATs. The system is sort of corrupt because they can rhyme and reason an applicant any way they want to. A higher MCAT only helps, but it's not everything. To anyone rejected, do not give up. Persistence will pay off--just not this year, but we are paying our dues and may get a favorable nod next year over those who hadn't. Use the extra year productively, travel (whenever possible), and try to still treat yourself. We will have the time and will just delay the intense work. I will be a 3rd timer, and I will see you all in next year's thread. I'll be a running meme in the committee because I will be there every...year...until...

Right, I’m heavily relying on my grad GPA, extracurriculars and LORs because I have a mediocre MCAT score. Also, I’m right there with you, it’s like y’all may as well accept me now because y’all just gonna keep seeing my name every year until you do :lol: :lol: :lol:

Of course there are a variety of factors, I definitely didn’t woo my first interviewer— homie was stone cold, rattled off questions like a quiz and then proceeded to review my answers afterwards. Total interview was 6 minutes. I also applied later with my secondary being submitted in mid October— largely because they never sent me the link. Pretty surprised with the R, my interviews after went great and spoke to McCluggage for over 45 minutes. He taught the physician I worked with! Had a lot of “bonding”, but it is what it is. I’ve been in New a Orleans for 8 years, a change sounds nice. I’ve been out of school for 4 years so I’m gonna hit the DO route and call it, not doing this again haha

Right! wishing I was in nola now more than ever!!
Where in CA are you? Maybe we can drink together lollll (I'm in LA)
 
I was so confident after my interviews went well and the interviewees all told me I'd be a perfect fit and I was a wonderful candidate. I think that's why I'm struggling with the fact that my letter today is most likely not going to be the news I wanted to hear :unsure: Either way, if I don't get accepted, I'll figure out what I'm doing for the next year and work my ass off to ensure I get a spot next year!

"Prioritized alternate list", so I guess the wait isn't over yet...Not sure how long I should wait to hear something before preparing to make a move to Shreveport!
