Call the credit card company and see who the merchant is. Please let us know.

Credit Card Company shows no merchant charging anything, but FedEx is telling me that there's an Atlantic Bridge package to be sent to me on Tuesday, so I'm hoping for the best!

Congrats,glad for you.
Wondering when/where did you have your interview? I remember that you got your interview email around Feb 1, while we got it on Feb 13 in Western Canada.

I called FedEx but nothing was coming to my address :(

Thank you. I had my interview in NYC on Mar. 2nd. Do you know if a package sent through FedEx from them is a confirmed acceptance, or do they also send rejections via FedEx? Oh and don't worry! Based on how the timeline for interviews were given out, I'm sure acceptances will be similar. Its only a matter of time!
 
That sounds good. Well I'll keep you guys posted on the outcome! I'm hoping that you and everyone receives an acceptance! =)
 
Getting really worried here.
Here is the process to get FedEx to look up the package without a tracking number:
Call 1-800-GoF-edEx, press 1 for English, then keep presssing 0 until you get connected to a real person. Tell the Customer Services Rep that you expect an important package and give them your postal code and your street address to look up.
 
Yup, Going out Tuesday - if it is FEDEX it is an offer - no fedex and you are on a second string list or snail mail or e-mail are the rejections
 
Guys, keep in mind that GEP offers come before 5/6 year offers.

I was looking through old posts and found that 4 year offers come at this time and 5/6 year come within the next week or so

Thanks Klabib. Did you get a chance to call FedEx to see if something is coming your way?

Take the MCAT and the doors will open up for you. I wouldn't count on ABP even showing RCSI your application for their five-year programme nor TCD nor NUIG. Contact each school to see whether your application was put forth to them if you doubt what I say.

I did, nothing. Makes me feel depressed but ABP sent me an email telling me they are sending them middle of next week. Hopefully things cheer up then
 
Wise words, thanks. I've already nudged the plan B ball into movement.

Nothing for me, too early to worry thought:D
 
I don't think universities do rejections or acceptances on weekends.
 
CuriousGee, you were right. They were indeed coming out after St. Patrick's day. I just didn't think it would be the day RIGHT after it :)
Got my FedEx package this morning for the 4yr program at RCSI. Anyone else??
 
Congrats Danto! I have not heard back from ABP yet. Hoping for the best though!
 
Yup, got mine for 4 year today. Know if there is a FB group yet? Also deciding between RCSI and Cork - got Cork on Friday. Thoughts everyone?
 
Received acceptance to 5 year program at RCSI today!!!!:luck::)

Came home from work and there was Fedex envelope containing an acceptance for GEP (4 year) waiting for me!! See you guys in Dublin, and I've got my fingers crossed/wearing my shamrock earrings for everyone still waiting to hear! :luck:

Oh and ps, nothing has shown up on my credit card balance yet (no discrepancies or anything) so for everyone nervously checking like I was doing all day, it doesn't really mean much at this point. I was told by a friend that sometimes Fedex is slow in posting the charges.

Queens, 3.7, bio/psych, no mcat and yes ABP
 
no one in the six year program has heard yet?
 
I applied to 5/6 year program (still in high school) but I didn't choose fedex option. Probably going to be a while for me
 
It turns out I did get a FedEx package today! I was at work and saw the sticker when I got back to my apartment.

Nothing showed up on my credit card so I had no idea.
 
Last year, there were 3 days between the GEP and the 6 year acceptance letters.
Assuming the GEP letters were sent Thursday or Friday, then the 6 year acceptance letters should be very close.
It is getting really close, fasten your seat belts.
 
Congrats LeafsFan19 and CuriousGee! I'm sure someone will make a facebook group soon enough :)
