Well starlord I hate to break it to you, but you are wrong. Having been waitlisted last year there is a Day in March when they formulate the waitlist when all those still on hold for acceptance are either put on the waitlist or reject. So you can go on hold for the whole year and then be rejected when the waitlist is formulated.
If you don't believe me go to any of the threads for the past 3 years at around mid march. Last year it was like March 16.
I mean thats just your experience along with a couple of other applicants. I'm directly quoting not only what the school itself is saying, but also what the director of admissions was saying. You are correct that you can be on hold until March and obviously rejected later on. I guess to clarify, im saying for now you're not rejected
Post-interview?
All good! i was like damn you already interviewed and got a decision that’s insanely fast. For anyone who wants to know received an II here last Friday. Complete 7/22.
Did you have the file review is complete ? And when we’re the available dates.
The last message I remember was the Sub-Committee one. I actually took a mid-day nap and woke up to this invite in the evening LOL (pleasantly surprised). The first dates available were around when decisions can be released by MD schools. They continued into late Oct and early Nov.
Mine changed to that too a week ago from committee to subcommittee. Wonder if it means anything.
Did you get an email notification?
They do but they have to be significant. For activities they need to be > 3 months
I just looked it up on their website. They say the update has to be requested by VCU, and that any unsolicited updates will be discarded.
Call and ask. They told me exactly what I just said. It has to be > 3 months on an activity and to send it to a particular person. So call.
do they email you if your review is complete? also congrats! what were your stats if you dont mind me asking
Stats?
They mentioned during the interview day that post-II updates are welcomed if it's something significant like a publication. I'm not sure about their feelings on pre-II updates though.
Their opinion is, like I said before, that if the activity is signifcant and greater than 3 months you can call ask ask for an email to send the update to. I was given an email, and told it would be added to my file.
The MMI was very relaxed! The interviewers were friendly and asked follow-up questions if you ran out of things to say. Every interview, including the "traditional" one, is closed file. All they have is your name.
No pen and paper, but the interviewers will be happy to clarify and go over the question once you enter the room
Hopefully 1 is good, and 5 is bad, I guess.
1) This is peak neuroticism.
I mean my guy or girl, you looked...
Idk I'm pretty chill around interviews, but it would definitely throw me a bit to be able to see my interviewer's feedback lol. @vomitcom, it's true that you really can't draw any conclusions from what you saw and that one station isn't a whole decision so don't freak out, but valid to be a little spooked!
+1 probably doesn't really mean anything though
Complete date?
No. It was def a score and not part of it.
What dates were available?
When I checked, the earliest date was 10/31, and still plenty of dates available in November!
