Anything UNSOM
Started by jennsnate
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
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!!!
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.
Waiting is killing me-- I want to know now!
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.

Hi everyone-- I was just accepted for the class of 2012!!! I am so excited!!!
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.
I have a buddy who should be in the running for the Jan 15 round of acceptances, I'll let you know if he gets one. I'm not sure if they call or mail?
