Hopefully USC, if my fiance gets the job that he's applying for in LA. But I could go to SLU or Emory, or Wash U if I get in off the waitlist. So ya... hopefully LA... but really... who knows in this crazy process???
 
If it makes anyone feel better... I'm declining my acceptance to UNSOM this week... hopefully it will open up a spot for one of you!!! Good luck with everything!
Gratz on getting into USC (hopefully).

/Crosses fingers, elbows, knees, toes, and eyes (hmm.. perhaps I need those open)

Congrats, good luck wherever you go.
 
I've already been accepted to USC... I'm definitely not going to decline an acceptance based on "hopefully" getting in hahaha. I guess I worded that weirdly 🙂... anyways good luck to you all! My dad graduated from UNSOM in '92 and loved it. I wish I could go, but my fiance didn't get into grad school in Reno 🙁 booooo
 
my bad.. that was a play on your "hopefully" going to USC. Gratz either way.
 
Alternate list, found out yesterday.

There is still hope my friend, way to go! Do they at least let you know where on the list you sit? That would be nice of them.

Thanks, I'll call tomorrow to see if I can find out where on the list I am. Did you hear anything yet?

I have not heard just yet, but my mail is sent down to Los Angeles...hopefully sometime soon...

Did you receive a letter on the March 15th saying you were on the alternate list? If yes, what was the date that they mailed it out?

Thanks

So I'm actually in SF now, but they sent it to my parent's house in Reno, it came on Saturday (the 15th) and I'm not sure when it was mailed, but I would guess Friday the 14th, pure speculation though as I haven't seen the envelope.

Good luck!
 
Hi everyone. I am joining your conversation and I am in the same place as you all are. I am an alternate. Does anyone know how many alternates there are?? I was told I was in the top third, but the top third out of 50 isn't as good as the top third out of 20. *sigh*
 
Im a student at UNR and have lived here my whole life, my number one choice of schools is UNSOM by far, I truly love it here. If you guys don't mind me asking, what is your gpa etc.? Its hard to compare myself to people only applying to some of these Ivy leagues, and I know being a local is advantageous when applying to UNSOM, anywho you don't have to, I am just quite curious, thanks guys!!!

Got an alternate spot! They mailed it on 3/15. It seems like everyone who got a regular acceptance would have said yes or no by now... so I don't know what my chances are (to obtain admission) as an alternate.

Also I wonder if they tell you what your waitlist position is. Does anybody know? Thanks!

Call Linda and she will probably tell you your rough position on the list.
 
Good luck to those on the wait list and to those next year. I got my rejection today.
 
I got my acceptance to UNSOM on 3/17. Very excited 🙂 Can't wait to meet my classmates. Good luck to all of you!!
 
Hi, I got a letter from UNSOM dated 15 March that I made the alternate list, and admissions told me that I'm in the "middle third" of the list and they can send out an acceptance all the way until August! Does anyone have an opinion on my chances? I know I asked before but I didn't know my position. In-state.
 
Hey everyone....just wanting to say hi and see if anyone has thought/looked for housing yet in Reno. I'm going up this weekend to look around but was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on places to live? Looking forward to meeting everyone in August 🙂
 
Hey all,

Just wanted to come in again and say congrats to all who received acceptances. I'm planning to go to Reno next Friday, Sat, and Sun. Need to look around, get to know the area. Most importantly... find a place to live! Is anyone else visiting soon, or have you visited recently? I have a friend who lives in Reno who said that South Reno is the place to live. Well, can't wait to meet everyone.

I heard they may be pulling someone off the waitlist this august, for those of you who are losing hope....
 
I know this is quite an old thread, however -- I do have a question. :0) It seems like most of the people are undergraduates in Nevada. I have lived in Vegas for eighteen years, however I went out of state for college. I still have NV's driver's license, and all of that jazz. Will this hurt me at all?

I've been told that up to half? of the class is people who graduated from Nevada High Schools, went out of state, but maintained residency.
 
Hey, i'm not sure how current this thread is....but please post if you get anyone gets acceptance letters this week!
 
THis may be a long shot, but Orima why did you choose early decision program?

What are your thoughts and advice on the EDP process?
