Does anyone know if applicants in the past have been invited for an interview after receiving this still under consideration email? Or is this like a soft R?

same boat

As someone who did the application gammit 2 years ago, I don't know if this is true, but it might give some context to the consideration email. Essentially when I applied, they sent out R's in February-March, but then they started to run low on WL people due to many people declining their A's in May. So they actually sent out II's for a WL spot to those previously rejected in late May.
Now that's not to say the II's from here on out are for a WL since RFU has been known to give II into March in past years, but considering they get just a TON of applications, I have a feeling that they are doing this as part of a strategy to avoid running out of WL spots. Cheers to y'all!

Hi! Thanks for this information, i am assuming this means RF typically has a lot of waitlist movement then?

so what about the people that didn’t recieve the consideration email or rejection email?

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

Only time will tell. I guess you could check your portal to see if there is any updates?

 

[ishouldnotbehere]

They don’t like us but they don’t hate us. So they’d rather just ghost

 

[17protons]

Is it weird that I didn’t get that email but also haven’t been rejected yet?

+1 here. No SUC but no rejection🤷🏻‍♀️

 

[Moeman213]

I got accepted here and chose to commit!

 

[longstoryshorty]

I think I got waitlisted. got a link on the portal to submit the alternative list form. I completed it, but there hasn't been any email confirmation. Is this normal?

This is what happened to me too and it’s been like two months since with no communication I assumed it meant waitlisted

 

[mdog31415]

Hi! Thanks for this information, i am assuming this means RF typically has a lot of waitlist movement then?

Yeah they have a decent amount. Whether or not it will be more or less compared to previous years varies. But yes, they do have a decent amount.

RFU is a nice school don't get me wrong- but for most it's not their top choice. When April/May comes, a lot of people get off the WL and an A to a.) their IS school, b.) a school with a better financial package, or c.) a "big-gun" school they've dreamed of. They tend to drop RFU with CTE deadline, hence the flux of WL movement.

 

[whitegoated]

[Moeman213]

Congrats!!

 

[franklindelano]

does anyone know if they internally rank?

 

[Incognito32]

does anyone know if they internally rank?

I was told that we have an internal ranking only for AOA (top 20%?) and Distinction in Basic Science (basic science average of 89.5% or higher). Otherwise, your rank isn't mentioned on the dean's letter. M1/M2 are pass/fail . M3/M4 are graded on honors/high pass/pass/fail.

For those wondering, 69.5% is a pass for M1/M2. A pass in M3/M4 is a 75% (high pass is 85%, and honors is 95%).

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[WinterGuava!]

Any recent interview invites?

 

[billybob321]

Will we be able to take notes during the interview process? And will we be swapping interviewers for each station?

 

[redpanda15]

yes and yes

 

[farmeronly]

Just declined my acceptance, hopefully, someone will get some good news soon! Good luck to everyone!

 

[billybob321]

I know RFU doesn't take update letters. But would they take thank you letters or letters of intent?

 

[ablanco]

I sent a thank you, they never responded or confirmed it. I think LOI falls under the letters they don't accept/read.
