It sucks. I haven't even heard anything yet about possible waitlists. I've been "on hold" for way too long. 👎

none for me either man...on hold at south and waiting to hear from uasom. plus, im a re-applicant like you so i know all to well how you feel. really sucks and very stressful. good luck to you!...but not to the Barn! RMFT, b!tch!
I rode one waitlist until May 15 before getting in. It sucks a lot, but hang in. Send all those LOI's and updated transcripts, and hope for the best.
Am I the only person on here still with no acceptances?
One waitlist, waiting for word on the rest.
For the re-applicants, did you guys apply in back-to-back cycles?

at least to get wait-listed it means you got an interview. :/
haha, are you mjbama on rivals?![]()
This. It ain't over 'til it's over.I'm guessing things will start moving pretty fast starting May 15, so don't lose hope!
haha, well yeah i use that account...but so do other members of my family. why?? good eye by the way...for a barner..!
No, took 1 year between cycles.For the re-applicants, did you guys apply in back-to-back cycles?
Hmmm, I was going to theorize about back-to-back cycles...but I can't. What did you all do differently the second time around? The standard, apply earlier, broader, MD/DO, better MCAT, minute raise in GPA? This is my first time so I'm sort of resigned to whatever my fate is (I'm mentally prepared to re-apply), but I feel like re-applicants should already be in! Especially if you've been involved with SDN long enough and you did those things. *sigh* 😕
Still, just like previous posters have said, it ain't over yet. I'm rooting for all of us!
I was in the same place as you last year! Just imagine it with a significant other who got into at least 7 places no problem 🙄... Oh well, we managed to get through it, I pulled through and tried again, and was accepted this year.
I retook the MCAT, scored one point lower, applied 30000x earlier, kept doing what I had been doing schoolwork/extracurricular wise...Applying early made all the difference!
I'm rooting for your guys! It's not over till August, keep your hopes up....![]()
I was just reading/commenting on that thread about how the bill will affect physicians.. pretty good stuff... for a bammer at least.
No acceptances, rejected by 15 schools.
I still haven't heard anything from Loyola and I interviewed with UIC in September but they still haven't rendered a decision. I've been bombarding both schools with phone calls and letters to admissions people begging to get in.
I'm currently applying to masters programs.
This has been the most miserable experience of my life, and completely confounding to a kid with a solid GPA, great ECs, killer MCAT, tons of research and several publications at a school that routinely puts better than 90% of applicants into med schools.
15 interviews and 15 rejections? 😱![]()

👎 🙁
WhAT the H-e-L-L?!?!?! I smell something foul. I'm speechless.
Where did I say I interviewed at 15 schools? I interviewed at 2 schools, Rush and UIC. I was REJECTED by 15 schools, 14 of them pre-interview.

haha, yeah i typed more than i set out too in that thread...on the MB, you have to be as diplomatic as possible or flame wars will ensue. it's pretty ridiculous, yet funny sometimes. i like how the mods deleted it...it wasn't even a flame thread like the other countless political threads the night before, but oh well. what is your name on rivals?
Was your list overly top heavy? That may contribute...Good luck though. Definitely sounds like depressing position to be in. Hope you get in this year!
Yeah I was disappointed to see that one get deleted, pretty interesting to see how most of those DA's view physicians.
My name is AU2009 -- I have to admit I do enjoy occasionally trolling the MB in my free time 🙂
Maybe I should have included that as one of my EC's..

Still no acceptances. Two waitlists and a surprising last-minute interview invite though, so I guess I still have hope.
