Pre- II OOS

 

[amye123]

I wonder if they’re sending out any additional interviews ?

 

[livelaughlove76]

Going to take myself off the waitlist as I received another acceptance. Good luck to all those waiting, wishing you all the best!!

 

[acethemcat95]

Anyone on here applied with a very low mcat (like very low low) and got accepted/waitlisted? Trying to see if there’s any hope left for me

I got waitlisted with a low MCAT

 

[Achref]

Anyone knows if they are still interviewing and when it stops?
Thank you

Not sure but I think they stop interviewing at the end of April

Like sub 500 low? Are you URM?

 

[future_doc_coming]

I was a little surprised since Dr. Thomas made it sound like they still had acceptances to give out but who knows. Wishing you the best of luck!

question here: since they said that have already offered all 150 spots, that means that anyone who interviews after that will automatically be waitlisted right?

Not necessarily since people move around & drop their spots all the time! Dr. Thomas did mention there should be a lot of waitlist movement.

 

[Meowster007]

Does anyone know last year's WL movement and how many students were WL and came off of it?

 

[acethemcat95]

I already called twice to ask for an update but last time I called was 2 weeks ago and I still didn’t hear anything. I’m getting worried bc it’s almost April and they stop interviewing by then. Should I call again?

 

[EagerEagle]

I was complete 7/28/20 and still have not heard anything. Anyone else in a similar position?

are you IS or OOS?

 

[EagerEagle]

are you IS or OOS?

OOS

 

[acethemcat95]

are you IS or OOS?

I was complete 9/29 and I’m IS and didn’t hear back

 

[EagerEagle]

I sent them an email to basically say hello, did you read my application? And then minutes later got this from the noreply medadmissions portal:

"Hello,

2. letting you know that you will need to reapply.

I got this too a couple minutes ago after not hearing from them after submitting my secondary in July. Are there still IIs going out here? Or are they just interviewing for the WL?

Submitted my secondary on 7/28/20 as well and got the same email just now, but I didn’t reach out to them beforehand

 

[kkn23]

Honestly I read that email as "get ready for that R"

 

[blondaaayyy]

It doesn't appear that they have sent out this email in previous cycles (I searched the threads), is this because of new admissions staff and changing things up?

 

[EagerEagle]

I got this too. I havent contactced them since application. I dont want to kill hope but I got this kind a mail from tulane and a week later, a rejection letter came. Tulane is a bit different but I suggest you do not read too much in it. But if it is a soft R why dont they just send out R ? They will reject anyway but they want to review for 10 seconds and toss? So they “reviewed” it ? I am wondering if the other ppl above who got pre II R also received this email.

I agree, I think this is just a way for them to say their butts if someone wants to come after them for not seriously reading applications that people paid to submit.

 

[tomyumsoup]

If I knew they were like 90% IS I wouldn't have applied. OOS here with low stats and just got the "under active review" email. Should've saved my money for a different school next cycle, RIP

I got this email just now too. This was after I emailed the admissions office last week. I am OOS completed sometime in October, so pretty late

 

[capsaisin]

I didn’t get the email that y’all are talking about which is so weird cause I haven’t heard from them since submitting

When did you submit?

 

[amye123]

When did you submit?

My bad I didn't realize that I have received this email.

 

[acethemcat95]

Guys, I didn’t receive that email that everyone’s receiving. What does that mean for me?

 

[acethemcat95]

When did you submit?

I didn’t receive it either! I’m IS and I was complete 9/29

 

[capsaisin]

Guys, I didn’t receive that email that everyone’s receiving. What does that mean for me?

Like the ppl said above, I don’t think we should read too much into receiving or not receiving that email...Seems random to me honestly Bc some ppl got interviews/accepted with/without that email and some ppl might have gotten the preII R with/without that email also...

 

[blondaaayyy]

I didn’t receive it either! I’m IS and I was complete 9/29

I'm guessing it was mostly OOS that received the email

 

[let-me-take-my-mcat]

I'm OOS and received that email yesterday. Was complete in late July.

 

[Achref]

Same
OOS, received the email yesterday. I don't know if it is a Pre-R.

 

[student1675]

Received email yesterday. OOS.

 

[Premed-2021]

I’m OOS and received II last week for late April. I completed undergrad In Shreveport though, so I have strong ties to the area.

Thank you. And 3.94 and 507

 

[raegana817]

Accepted off waitlist this morning!!

 

[lsufan93]

Did you get a letter today?

 

[raegana817]

Did you get a letter today?

Yes !

 

[deleted742319]

Yes !

Congrats!! If you don't mind me asking, when were you placed on the WL?

 

[raegana817]

Congrats!! If you don't mind me asking, when were you placed on the WL?

Thanks! I interviewed in January and was placed on waitlist at beginning of February

 

[lsufan93]

I got a letter from them today but it said I was on the waitlist. I can't tell if it's a good thing or not at this point.

When did you interview?

 

[lsufan93]

When did you interview?

I interviewed on Mar 2. I would've chosen Feb 23 but I didn't see the e-mail in time 😑

 

[Meowster007]

Gotcha! Hopefully spots open up.

Lol, I responded to the email within 15 minutes and somehow got my third choice, which is tomorrow. I totally wish I could have gotten an earlier date, too! I think being added to the waitlist at this point is definitely not a bad thing, especially since someone else on here said that Dr. Thomas does not like to have really long waitlists and anticipates a lot of WL movement as people are required to narrow their choices/commit to a school.

[ankrause]

Good luck to interviewees today. I’m sure you all will do well! 😃
