I’m pretty sure that space is for new activitiy updates. IIRC that space says “Please do not submit Letters of Intent”

Yes that is correct. Just checked now. Thanks for confirming.

Should we expect to hear anything on Tuesday?? Or are all the schools on winter break now?

I wouldn’t think they would have an admissions committee meeting this week to be able to send decisions out on Tuesday. But who knows!

Probably not but I’m hoping for a Christmas miracle lol

 

[medscie158]

Will II go out in Jan/Feb? Or is it safe to assume if you’ve heard nothing by now it’s over

According to MSAR their interview cycle ends Jan 15th but with covid making this cycle weird idk if that’s still true

 

[doctorbrooke]

Tuesday hopes dashed yet again..

In my first cycle, I received an II after Christmas for the end of January.

 

[MowzTheGreat]

At this point I have already accepted that we will not be hearing any post-II decisions for another 2 weeks at least. Happy Holidays everyone! Will see you here in January.🙂🙂

 

[aspiringdoctor9701]

Any possibility for II’s to be sent out tomorrow (today I guess at this point lol) guys?

Long stretch, but do you remember what day it was/before New Years?

 

[TabbyTuxy]

December 28, the Friday after Christmas that year.

It's very possible, but my optimism is cautious...

 

[aspiringdoctor9701]

So hope still exists basically, we still got today and tomorrow for II's!

 

[aspiringdoctor9701]

Does anybody know how many II’s/what % of IIs are left to be handed out?

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

I think there is only one more interview day left in January. I forgot how many people were in my interview group but it couldn't have been more than ~15-20. So if I had to guess, there are probably about that many IIs left.

Hmm that’s strange why there’s only 1 date left. I know some schools don’t open up all the days for everyone, so maybe there’s additional spots but they’ve been closed off? Not sure, just trying to stay optimistic.

On my interview day, there was 15 of us.

Not to be pessimistic, but I also agree that there are not many IIs left, if any. According to the website, Carver's interview season only goes until January, whereas many other schools go into March. This is likely due to the fact that Carver has a smaller applicant pool than many schools.

I agree with you guys, prob makes sense. Just kind of strange that in a covid year when everything is delayed by a lot, Carvers wouldn’t change at all. I was told they could consider applicants into January, but you guys are probs right.

According to last years thread, the last reported II was given out on January 6th with two available dates. Unless they moved faster this year, we could still be expecting IIs into the first 2 weeks of January.

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

Hopefully next Tuesday is it. Really tired of the silence from Iowa these past few Tuesdays!

Congrats man! Someone else asked this, but how many interview date/s were available to you?

 

[Premedaccount]

Wow... full tuition scholarship just now... I guess I will withdraw from the rest of my interviews, because I don't think any school will make a better offer than Iowa. Feeling very blessed and lucky.

Lord... I have seen what you have done for others...

That’s awesome news!

I know they can't give everyone full rides... but I'm rooting for as many people as possible to get amazing financial aid offers!

 

[eat.sleep.caffeine.]

I believe there were 2 or 3 days, but I'm not positive.. I scheudled it in a rush on my work break

Congrats on the full ride! Was it based off of stats or need based? Also, are you OOS or IS?

I'm IS. It doesn't explicitly say in the email, but based on the wording I would assume it's merit based?

Sorry to be annoying af, but are these dates nearer the end of the month or beginning/middle?

You are all good! It was middle January.
There are also in-person tour dates. Has anyone gone to one of these?!

I haven't been accepted nor rejected yet, but would love to take a tour if I am accepted.

 

[norse_premed]

Do you need to have an acceptance to go on a campus tour?

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

Do you need to have an acceptance to go on a campus tour?

Nope, just a II

 

[Premedaccount]

Do you need to have an acceptance to go on a campus tour?

Nope! My tour guide played it safe and assumed I hadn't been accepted yet, so it shouldn't be an issue.

 

[BJoverTrapper]

Do you need to have an acceptance to go on a campus tour?

No, I toured a few weeks after my interview but before October 15th and the first acceptances

 

[eat.sleep.caffeine.]

No, I toured a few weeks after my interview but before October 15th and the first acceptances

Is it a group tour?

 

[Premedaccount]

Is it a group tour?

Yea, I had two other groups on the same tour I went.

 

[aspiringdoctor9701]

Does anyone know/remember from previous years what Iowa’s schedule for IIs is based on in/out of state status? Are they filling for mostly out of state/in state for the next couple weeks?

 

[Kenken514]

Are we starting the Tuesday hype train yet??

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

Are we starting the Tuesday hype train yet??

Heck yeah! Hoping for SOME type of communication tomorrow. Geez it's been a while...

 

[DilNyethescienceguy]

Train never stops for me

 

[TabbyTuxy]

I've resigned myself to the final pool at this point -- it's been 3 months post-interview, ugh. But the positivity here is keeping me going.

3 months post interview here as well. Positive that there will be a lot of acceptances off the final pool list.

Their final pool process is super interesting and transparent.

 

[Nvrgiveup01]

Their final pool process is super interesting and transparent.

One person said most of their acceptances actually come from the final pool. Is that what you heard as well?
