Members don't see this ad.

FR it seems like mainly OOS. Having interviewed in September, my interview feels so far away. Almost like it was a dream.

Same! I don't even remember how my interview went anymore!

 

[deleted966164]

So is today this big wave of As we were talking about?

 

[Gshah97]

Guys, maybe there will just never be a “wave” and they will just slowly accept as the cycle goes.

 

[crepuscular.ray]

So is today this big wave of As we were talking about?

Speculation, but since both people accepted today interviewed about a month ago I don't think the As were part of the wave we're hoping for

 

[deleted966164]

Fair enough. It just sounded in their “check-in” email that we will hear before the Holidays. Like either way...

 

[Gshah97]

Yeah the email did make it seem like people would hear back regarding rejections as well.

 

[ls1422]

Congrats! Did you get Geffen as well?

No Geffen for me! But this is my first acceptance so I just couldn’t be more thrilled

 

[ls1422]

Accepted with Geffen scholarship, there were waterworks. Thank you to this community for all of your help from a longtime lurker.
OOS, Interviewed November, below 520 MCAT (there is hope!), Lizzy M 75, did not receive whatever email thing that was
Hope those answered all of the questions, but let me know if I missed anything

Wishing you all the best, hope to see some of you next fall

Congratulations!! See you at second look 🙂

 

[mzlipton]

Has anyone been accepted that is IS? lol

I am IS and heard back ~5 wks after my oct interview

 

[hk__123456789]

When do we think Dec interviews will hear back?

[Gshah97]

not sure, but based on how things are going you will probably hear back before the august or early september folks do 🙂

I think Aug and Sep were like experimental sections on the LSAT.

I interviewed in September and got in and know that other people on my interview date have, too. But yeah, I wouldn’t expect to hear back any time soon necessarily just because you interviewed 8 weeks ago or whatever.

Yeah i’m jk, I know some Sept people who got in too

I am hopeful that all of us will hear this week. One way or another...

they seem to like Tuesdays LOL

 

[Caposuperfly]

So do they send an email and then call to give their decision? Because I am going to Italy for 20 days and I am pretty sure I cannot receive a call on my american phone while there. lol!

Pretty sure you get both an email and call

Email then phone call about 30 min later. Just let it go to voicemail, hopefully they leave a nice Message that you can replay over and over 🙂

Thanks!!!!! As the days pass the idea of a nice message fades lol

Stay positive!! Imagine getting the email while you’re on a nice Italian vacation 🙂

 

[serendipityfutmd]

Tik tok ADCOM, today is almost over..... 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

 

[deleted966164]

My paranoia reached a new level. Every time I get a note that somebody posted in this thread I imagine people being accepted an me being skipped...again...

 

[dcneuro13]

the emotions I cycle through every day hoping I’ll hear back is absurd

Hahaha, we should start a support group/thread.

 

[letmebedoc]

I positively believe that good news is coming within the next 3 days!!! All I want for Christmas is a call...is that too much to ask? lollll

 

[yaa249]

Do we think acceptances and rejections are coming before christmas for those that received the latest email? Dying here...

 

[crepuscular.ray]

No one knows so I'm setting my expectations to later in the cycle (I think they sent post-interview R/WL in March last year but this year seems to be different)

[deleted725807]

I'm trying to keep my hopes down at this point... I don't even know anymore LOL

 

[deleted966164]

Yea but they specifically said in the email we would hear in the coming weeks

It’s hard to hear in the past weeks... not even UCLA has this power...

Does someone want to take one for the team and call admissions?🙂🙂🙂

Someone I know did, and they said they are reviewing till February ;/

Huh? What?

Huh? What?

[blurb_123]

They clearly meant “coming weeks” as “any possible week in the future”

We already knew that didn’t we. Really hoping for some news in the next couple of weeks.

I’ve never seen someone say “soon” and then wait a month. But hey nothing surprises me anymore smh.

 

[deleted966164]

 

[knava1985]

Meanwhile, I'm still in limbo LOL no communication since July and even after reminding them that I still exist they haven't sent me my R

 

[Lukeskywalker8]

Someone I know did, and they said they are reviewing till February ;/

didn’t someone on this thread say before winter break??

time to break out the comfort food. Take care of yourselves fam.

Geffen gave me a fat, sumo wrestler R a couple weeks ago, but I had an interview at Drew/UCLA.

UCLA basically said, “You’re rejected...but not rejected rejected.”

 

[marcosma]

imagine UCLA putting acceptances in wrapped boxes under our Christmas trees. Coordinating with our parents/significant others. Everyone is in on it except US

I interviewed at both and Drew/UCLA was a much more pleasant interview experience. You didn't miss out on much 😛

what are your guys' opinions on the UCLA medical center's emphasis on wealthcare for rich donors?

 

[Gshah97]

Thinking of making a generous donation? 😉

 

[deleted1024039]

Thinking of making a generous donation? 😉

well, no. I don't have a life-threatening disease requiring experimental treatment, so there's no long waitlist for me to bypass using $

 

[serendipityfutmd]

Say they still have ~200 people to call.... let’s say they have 10 people on adcom, that’s 10 calls each tomorrow and Friday....... ITS POSSIBLE, RIGHT?!?

 

[cheesecurds]

If I don’t hear anything by the end of this week, I’m just going to call it quits and move on as if I’ve been rejected. As much as it stings, it’s not worth occupying my mental capacity for this long! It’ll be good to prepare for the worst anyway
