LOLLL good oneomg wait, so they KNEW they were sending you a rejection for the second time????? this is literally first quartile behavior
Well they’ve sent out pre-II Rs and you haven’t gotten one yet so you may still be under consideration. Same with several of the other threads you posted in todayComplete by 7/07. OOS with LM score of 71. What are my chances of an interview at this stage in the cycle?
I did. Complete late July and have yet to hear anything 🙁Anyone here apply to the MSTP? I was trying to find some info on their website about when their last interview dates were, but couldn't find anything and was seeing if I had a chance at an II (complete mid August).
complete date / stats? is the office actually reviewing today?!?!R on thanksgiving lol *cries* good luck to rest of yall. OOS but with ties
that is cruel. i was thinking the other day they shouldn't release any results - whether good or bad - on thanksgiving. i trust u will do well elsewhere!R on thanksgiving lol *cries* good luck to rest of yall. OOS but with ties
complete 08/17. LM 66. Lower end of stats but was hoping my ties would help a little, VA is my hometown. yea should've waited after thanksgiving.complete date / stats? is the office actually reviewing today?!?!
bruh seriously i loved them in the interview (and Dr. Cook seems so wholesome) but after hearing how they are handling admissions on here it seems they've got someone with a first quartile casper handling rejectionscomplete 08/17. LM 66. Lower end of stats but was hoping my ties would help a little, VA is my hometown. yea should've waited after thanksgiving.
R just now 🙁 complete 8/21, LM 77.5, 4th quartile casper, OOS (Canadian). Good luck everyone!!
pre-iipre-ii or post?
Congratulations! Are you OOS as well?II, Complete 8/12 LM 82
IS!Congratulations! Are you OOS as well?
Congratulations!! Did VCU ask you to send an update? I thought VCU didn’t accept updates unless they request itII, complete 7/16, OOS. No interview days in December, multiple options in January. Not sure if this made a difference but I sent in an update 2 days ago (I like to think it did 🙂 )
Thank you!! They did not ask me for an update and I actually didn't know that they request them from applicants! I figured it was okay to submit an update since there is a "Document Upload" tab in the secondary application portal. I just categorized my updates as "additional documents".Congratulations!! Did VCU ask you to send an update? I thought VCU didn’t accept updates unless they request it
They also mention that updates should be sent at their request under the FAQs tab on the portal. Although I personally feel like updates should be sent, proceed with caution as sending one would go against what they say.Wait a second… two people getting IIs with updates even though their website explicitly says not to send updates unless they’re requested? I’m starting to think I should send one anyway… I have a significant update. How do other people feel about this? Good or bad idea? (I also get the sense that their website may not necessarily be up to date?)
You're right it's not worth the risk. Thanks for talking me down 😂They also mention that updates should be sent at their request under the FAQs tab on the portal. Although I personally feel like updates should be sent, proceed with caution as sending one would go against what they say.
The wait for an II can feel excruciating, but there’s still time to hear good news from here. Good things will come your way. I believe in you!You're right it's not worth the risk. Thanks for talking me down 😂
I personally chose it because I've grown up in RVA my whole life, went to VCU for undergrad and had a lot of insight into how VCU/MCV is as a hospital. When you go to MCV as a patient as opposed to other hospitals in RVA (at least in my experience), there's a clear difference and I just wanted to learn from the same doctors/faculty that make the hospital so great. They also have a CBG program where you can possibly start residency early at VCU if you're accepted into it. It's only for a few specialties as of now, but they are trying to expand it. (Competency-Based Graduation Program VCU School of Medicine)Hey guys!
I have an interview at VCU, which I am extremely happy about. Are there any accepted students or med students on this sub that can give me some insight into the school? Why did you choose VCU? How are you personally involved in research/community service/clubs/orgs? Is the faculty good? I also have questions about the rotation sites. I wasn't able to find much information on their website. At least I was unsure where to look.
Thanks!
You're so right. Thank you, film doc! I am looking forward to seeing your success on our shared threads!The wait for an II can feel excruciating, but there’s still time to hear good news from here. Good things will come your way. I believe in you!
+1 and also wondering thisI did not get an offer on the 10/17 date, is it possible for me to still get rejected on any of the future offer dates or would I only get a rejection or waitlist starting in march?
Sorry to hear that! Did you receive the R through email? I submitted a couple of weeks later than you and haven’t heard back…IS, Pre-II R just received. Complete 7/9. Best of luck to you all!
An email was sent out to indicate it. I’m thankful that I didn’t get that one school of pharmacy email where it briefly mentions about being rejected from the school that other people got a while ago.Sorry to hear that! Did you receive the R through email? I submitted a couple of weeks later than you and haven’t heard back…
Yeah you can send updates post-interview. That's the only time they accept them and it has to be something significant is what they told us on my interview day in September.Does anyone know if we should send in update letters if we’re put on hold after interview? On the website it says you can if you’re placed in the alternate pool after interview but I’m not sure if that’s the same thing as a hold.
Hold means you weren't rejected when the adcom voted on you, so it means you'll get either an A or WL I believeJust curious, is everyone automatically put on hold if they interviewed between the dates when admissions decisions are released?
do they not accept updates pre-II? there's a spot on the portal to upload documents, and the website seems outdatedYeah you can send updates post-interview. That's the only time they accept them and it has to be something significant is what they told us on my interview day in September.
