Torture

Agreed. I had given up hope for a while, but now I’m all anxious again since it’s so close.

My buddy just took a post-II R, so they are rolling in!

Ahhh sh** here we go again. Heart rate just went up a good 20 bpm. Be good to me Utah!!!

 

[september94]

Got that post II R. It’s been real y’all!

Mine too. Refreshing refreshing refreshing. Dying inside.

Oh no my blood pressure is out of control.
😵

 

[medschoolplsplspls]

this is frightening

 

[TheBrofessor]

I also got the post-II R about 20 minutes ago. Disappointed but not surprised since I interviewed 5 months ago. I’m an Idaho applicant, hopefully the UW waitlist will move quickly since the rest of Utah’s final decisions are coming out! Good luck to everyone else on here!

Maybe they sent them all out simultaneously so if we haven't gotten one yet we won't get one?

Last year they sent rejections over the course of 3 or 4 days I think 🙁

Unfortunately this is the case.

Can anyone who has access to the FB group tell us whether or not Dr. Chan has posted anything today? I heard he did that last year.

 

[koster35]

Unfortunately this is the case.

Truth. Some of us survived the first wave but I feel like there were several waves last year (I was a victim of the first wave last year). To the fallen, I salute.

 

[Coldwater_Adler]

Are there any acceptances sent out at this time or is it all rejection and wait-list now?

 

[m1redsox]

This time last year, it was all R's and WL's -- at least on SDN so N = 50 or 60 or so (maybe 100? I have no clue).
Edit: point is, I'm not sure whether it's an accurate representation or if they really don't send out a single A in mid-March.

He posted something in regards to COVID-19. He said they have been busy addressing that so he hasnt been posting much lately.

Sent from my SM-N960U using SDN mobile

My buddy got accepted on March 15. Just FYI. Try not to rely too much on anecdotal evidence, including the posts made here on SDN.

Edit: March 15 last year

Do you know when he interviewed? This would give me hope, but if he interviewed in January or February, that would probably follow the same trend. After interviewing in September, you’ll have to forgive me for being a bit pessimistic haha.

 

[deleted817122]

Does anyone know what the subject/opening line of the alternate list e-mail is?

And the rejection e-mail as well?

"Don't rely on anecdotal evidence"

*provides anecdote*

Not to be rude haha but we are relying on statistical evidence from several years of the exact same thing going on. It's okay to be realistic.

Edit: word

 

[TheBrofessor]

“Application Status”

 

[dollyparton]

Another friendly remember that anxiety is contagious, y'all, and is easily magnified by exposure to more anxiety. And unfortunately nothing anyone does or says now will change their outcome at the U. So... today is probably a good day to go for a hike or a run, listen to some Beyonce, give a dog belly scratches, or do whatever it is that helps you relax!

Wishing everybody here the best of luck this cycle!

 

[koster35]

Is there a possibility that those rejected so far were all OOS? Could it just be that the finalized OOS seats first? Can any individuals with an R confirm?

The buddy I mentioned was OOS (w/ in-state ties-- BYU grad)

I think it's been made clear that the representation here on SDN is far from statistical.

It seems like all of the rejections posted here today were OOS.

Not sure, sorry.

 

[tcatr]

There is way too much speculation going on hahaha.

 

[Doctor13J]

Far from statistical? What does that even mean? Lmao.

I am not saying the SDN evidence is statistically significant, but a representation is a representation nonetheless. I am not saying there is no hope for an acceptance, but I think it's absolutely reasonable to expect a waitlist or rejection at this point, whilst still hoping for the best.

EDIT: Sorry for being pissy. Obviously a bit on edge... Want the best for you all. All of our speculation is irrelevant anyway.

For sure, but you have to recognize that if every single Utah (post-II) WL and R over the last 3 years (as reported on SDN) has come during this week, AND there were 0 A's reported (except @TheBigRic 's friend apparently), then it's probably NOT due to random chance lmao.

 

[dr_of_rock]

I agree. But to add to it 😆 I’m OOS (with ties) and I’m still standing (for now.)

 

[Arch-Turtle]

Damn, I was just trying to let you guys know that despite the lack of confirmation on this website, people do get accepted in the last week. Should've kept my mouth shut.

We're all on the same team here. Didn't mean to offend.

No offense taken. Last thing I want to do is give unrealistic expectations.

Right.. so I just went in and looked at the 2018-2019 UofU thread and between October 15th and March 1st, 15 people posted about being accepted. This is including a few secondhand accounts ("my friend got accepted today"). There were 2 EDP acceptances before Oct 15th. I went through quickly, so maybe a missed a few, maybe 2 or 3.

I'm not saying that I or anyone else on here should expect an acceptance, but relying on SDN to gauge your chances is nothing close to accurate statistics. Just because you have numbers doesn't mean they're statistics.

EDIT: saw all of your edits and later comments. I really hope we all get in and can be friends next year! Praying we all hear good news this week or in the coming months, despite the odds.

Appreciate the sentiment, and I hope so too!!

Regarding your comments on statistics, I think you might be surprised to find how accurate a small-ish sample size can be if produced randomly enough. For example, see FAQs | NCPP - National Council on Public Polls , a sample of 1000 can accurately represent 200 million. This is a far smaller percentage of the population than what SDN produces in comparison to the number of interviewers at Utah. In conclusion, size is not as important as you might originally think when considering a sample's accurate representation of the population.

I don't think we're a perfect sample size, but we might be closer to accurate than you think. Just something to consider!

Sounds like a reject email went out- anyone waitlisted?

 

[IDLuna]

Also rejected this morning, Idaho applicant

 

[Doctor13J]

Also rejected this morning, Idaho applicant

Hurts to see so many of my Idaho comrades going down today. Selfishly, I hope this means I escaped the Idaho boot... Not foolish enough to count on it, though.

I bet you’re past it. It doesn’t make sense that they’d send so many rejections out to Idaho applicants unless they evaluated all of them and made final decisions for that group. I can’t imagine there’s a second wave of Idaho rejections. Haha I would be expecting waitlist at this point. Or maybe acceptance if you get lucky!

Sorry to pestering you further about this but now I’m curious if your OOS friends was an Idaho applicant?

Nope, Kansas!

I know I am so scared. I am also IS but interviewed before her, so I don't know how they're organizing this stuff... Ugh somebody send psychiatric help

Lmao welp there it is, the post that contradicts everything I said. Tell her congrats!

Lol there is hope!! This is nuts!
