I interviewed the other day and I haven’t received any post interview material, does it normally take a few days?

Does anyone remember the names of the medical students who did the tour guide and answered questions for us during interviews?

 

[catinsomehats]

soooo hypothetically what happens if we maybe don’t get an acceptance on march 17th maybe? 🥹 i had a sudden realization that i’ll have to be moved in by mid-june at a do program i’ve been accepted to and want to know how long i should keep my hopes up

Does anyone know when we will receive financial aid?

 

[MDPhDseeker23]

This might be me being sensitive (which is probably it lol) but the MSTP rejection email is kinda rude 💀

 

[deleted1203533]

Got hold email just now, is this supposed to mean anything significant?

Seems like most people get them after their interviews-- it means you'll either be accepted at their next decision date or placed on the WL.

I have a close friend who interviewed the day before me and hasn’t gotten this yet. Does this mean she got rejected?

Nobody knows for sure. It does not appear that anyone else got the post-II hold today, so probably not.

I got a post II hold today as well.

Heard this week that there are no more interview slots. Final decisions March 15 and waitlist movement after that.

+1 OOS Pre-II R, complete July. Good luck everyone!

My question then is did they have an "unofficial" deadline where any application submitted after a certain time was automatically rejected and they just took forever to tell you? Because now that I think about it, I think I submitted my application for VCU a lot sooner than other schools because of the "you have X weeks after your secondary email reaches you ti finish your app" thing. I just checked an I was early September for them, so IDK.

Does anyone have any insight into when their final committee meeting is before the last march acceptance date? Did it already happen?

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

Do we think acceptances with scholarships will start next week? I love this school but its not realistic for me to attend given the cost.

@robot_soup I would think they would still be finalizing things this week.

 

[robot_soup]

Does anyone know anecdotally what percentage of interviewees get in off the waitlist? 😛

I believe it would be tomorrow

How does cost here compare to other programs? I thought it was comparable?

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

On average, OOS costs 114k/year to attend. MCW, where I am accepted and considering attending, is 102k/year on average. These figures are after fees, loan origination fees, books/supplies, etc.

Absolutely insane. Any chance to qualify for in state tuition at either program?

No for both. MCW in-state tuition is not much different though. VCU you theoretically could but I think it would be hard to establish residency there.

 

[ShifuC]

According to MSAR, about 75 offers are made to people on the wait-list.

At the second look day they said that they would be meeting in mid to late March to discuss scholarships and that people will be notified from late March-June about scholarship offers

 

[DrDrDrDr2022]

Post interview committee hold today. Decisions come out the 17th. Does a hold mean you aren't getting rejected?

Correct, you'll either be admitted or waitlisted on Monday

 

[witheredmorningstars]

today is the last round for VCU offer dates right? Anybody heard anything?

 

[DrDrDrDr2022]

It will be on Monday.

 

[premedaloo]

Really hoping for an A this Monday, interviewed back in October. Honestly though, I feel like WL is more likely. Does anyone know how the WL movement is for IS applicants?

 

[Yung_Zymogen]

Are A's given through email or phone call?

 

[deleted1203533]

What time should we expect, seems it’s been all over the place

 

[BingingwithB99]

What time should we expect, seems it’s been all over the place

Mine was by email on Feb 3rd and came at ~6:30-7 PM ish EST if I remember correctly. Rooting for yall tmrw!

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

Good luck tomorrow everyone! Also, for those who get stuck on the WL, as people start withdrawing their A's, WL movement should start since they do not overaccept.

 

[zigzagzinger]

When is the second look here?

 

[robot_soup]

Fingers crossed everybody!!

 

[imoka]

Anyone who's waiting see anything in the portal or in CYMS? I don't but just curious
