2019-2020 Nebraska

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Supposedly I was accepted via mail recently. I never actually received anything, but I just got an email saying I need to submit a deposit and this was referenced in my acceptance letter sent via USPS. OOS, but strong connections.

Congratulations!! Do you mind sharing your stats?
 
There is still lotsss of time left, they have only just begun sending letters. That’s what I’m telling myself
I’m trying to think that way too. I really connected in my interview and have truly wonderful experiences. My entire family is from Nebraska. I just am not a fan of the anticipation. I have a house to sell, a family to move, and I’m the type A/planner kind of person. I need time for logistics! :scared::writer:

I’m trying to remain positive but I am the same way- every time I check the mail and it’s empty, I die a little inside.

Congrats! Also, question: has your application portal been updated/does it look different since you've been accepted? I know the UNMC portal is probably pretty useless since they insist on relaying decisions via snail mail, but I'm wondering if it's worth checking that everyday. I figure it's more reliable than the waiting for the mail since letters get lost and delayed and whatever.

mediocre GPA, high MCAT

Portal is unchanged as far as I can tell.

Most of the accepted UNMC students did some gap years or are college seniors applying?
 
Just curious to see if anyone has been receiving any post-II R's or WL's yet? Does anyone know if they release those decisions on a rolling basis too, or do they wait until mid-March to release all of the R's and WL's?
 
So sorry ): do you have any ties to Nebraska?
Yep! Went to UNL, have lived/worked here for 4 years, and will technically be a Nebraska resident in May lol but I’m from Colorado so I was out of state for this years app. Planning on talking with admissions to see how I can improve for the next time I apply!

I am sure you are an great candidate, and I hope you can get a better understanding on what to improve and get in next time. You got this!
 
Hopefully all of us don’t have to wait much longer. Isn’t the deadline March 18th?
Yeah, 3/18. I really hope other applicants who aren't on SDN/lurkers have been receiving decisions that aren't accounted for on this forum.... it's really weird that only a couple of people on this thread have heard back at this point. Statistically speaking, roughly half of us here should have heard something by now, since we're halfway into their "decisions period."

Also, rant: I feel like an idiot going to check my mail every afternoon, totally hoping there's something in there for me, but knowing well that my UNMC letter won't be there. I ask my parents to check the mail now because fk this **** lol it's starting to mess with my head. Just gonna pretend like I'm not expecting anything anymore. It is so emotionally draining to stay hopeful when the matter is completely out of your hands :/

Hopefully the wait is coming to an end as we gotta hear by the deadline 🙂
Also you could sign up for USPS informed delivery. If it is available in your area they will send you an email in the morning with a picture of the exterior of letter sized mail pieces (digital preview) hence you will know ahead of time what mail to expect for the day.

Wow I am so glad I’m not the only one feeling like this. It’s been a long application cycle, and it is emotionally draining to wait on these schools, to get rejections, the waiting is very difficult! But we got this, we can’t give up on this dream!

By the way, AAMC emailed saying that the "pick your school" tool thingy will be available on AMCAS on Feb 19. Basically, that selection menu is going to show all your acceptances from the different schools you applied to so that you can finalize your choice for matriculation. So... there's a chance that we may be able to see if we've been accepted to UNMC by logging into AMCAS rather than having to wait for a physical letter in the mail. Am I right here-- does anyone else know if it works that way?

My letter got lost in the mail but I still got a follow-up email asking for my deposit.

Multiple acceptances...what would that be like 🤣

I tried logging on but must not be accepted anywhere yet because this tool is not available for me. Love the idea though, maybe it will work for others!
