oooooooh boy, getting close, starting to get sweaty palms . . . .
 
you getting sweaty palms just got my heart beating because my inbox said i had a new message....hopefully i replied before i do the same to someone else
 
I just hope Sean is able to get them sent out today!! I would say let's call him to check but that would take up his valuable acceptance-sending time.

aahhh *freaks out*
 
Agh. I am so nervous. This afternoon can't get here fast enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I was thinking about calling, but I called yesterday. He might toss my app out if he thinks I'm a psychotic stalker. 😳
 
Either that or send your acceptance out first just to shut you up 🙂
 
i assume he hits the magic button and they all send at once...i hope.

the other school i interviewed at is calling people right now to let them know they are in...so i got two SDN pages up, my email up, and staring at my phone...good thing there is nothing to do at work today

What a wonderful idea!!!

I am waiting on two schools today as well. I'm checking the SDN pages for each as well as my email continually.
 
$10 that Sean and the Seans of all the other med schools are also refreshing the SDN page laughing maniacally at our desperation.
 
then could i make a last ditch letter of intent via SDN and maybe Sean will see it and move me up the list?
 
im in this boat with all of you, this has been the longest day ever!


Good luck everyone! :luck:
 
good luck you guys! can't wait to get to know some of my future classmates!
 
Well, on CO time, there's just one hour left...
 
Hello everyone,

I don't think it has been mentioned so far: Has anyone received rejections or waitlists post interview already? I guess I will continue to be freaked out and sweaty for the next few hours, unless I don't get anything, in which case I will be freaked out and sweaty till Monday. and so on. But if you have received these, please please post here, and write out the details (also which third of the waitlist) and when you received the email about it. Thank you! ie. I'm trying to find out, if I don't get an acceptance by today or Monday, does that leave me at waitlist or rejection? Or both possibilities? Have all of you been talking about acceptances specifically? So that rejections are not necessarily being sent out "by the 15th?" thank you for your posts!
 
So I have checked my email about 20 times today, can anyone top that?
 
I just called in, and decisions should be going out in the next hour or so. He told me mine - top 1/3 of alternate list... Yea!
 
Nice!!

SO what's the word on the alternate list for CU? What are the chances for getting in off the top 1/3, middle 1/3, etc?
 
Just got the e-mail. I got rejected.

The Committee on Admissions has completed its consideration of your applica*tion for the 2008 first year class of the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Regretfully, the Committee has concluded that it will not be possible to offer you a place in that class.



We have made every effort to evaluate you as an applicant on the basis of your qualifications compared with the qualifications of all other applicants. Unfortunately, the competitive level of our applicants this year is such that we are not able to offer places in the first year class to many fine appli*cants with excellent academic records. Please be assured that our decision is not a reflection of your general suitability for medical studies.



If you would like additional information, I will host several informational sessions for unsuccessful applicants with the goal of providing input on how to strengthen an application. You may call the office (303.724.8025) during the month of June, 2008 (only) for more information including dates and times of these sessions.



The Committee thanks you for your interest in our School of Medicine. Hopeful*ly, you will gain admittance to another school of your choice, and will have a very fulfilling career as a physician. We wish you every success in your commitment to a career in medicine.



Sincerely,



Norma E. Wagoner, Ph.D.

Interim Associate Dean for Admissions

Top 1/3rd almost always gets in. Middle 1/3 sees variable action. Bottom third is almost always rejected.

This is true. Historically, top 1/3 gets in and they end somewhere in the middle third. Although, they do have some worry that with the shiny new campus, there may be fewer withdrawals, and the whole top 1/3 may not get in this year, but it's still the best place I could be other than accepted. (I'm out of state, so I didn't expect an acceptance.)
 
There's a new message in my inbox but I'm too scared to look. AHHH
 
Middle Third. Damn. Not rejected but am in the same waiting-game place as I was 10 minutes ago.
 
Well, I will just have to get back on and ride. Maybe next year, hope it worked out better for others...
 
ugh no one has been accepted in this thread so far 🙁
 
rejected for the 2nd year in a row
 
wow this is really depressing. I guess I didn't need to write my prev post. Sigh.
I am in the lowest third. Indeed.
I remember students saying things during my interview day re: those meetings in May for waitlists/rejected applicants. It would make little sense to me that attending those would affect your chances if you're put on the waitlist.
But what are your experiences regarding this? please share. should be useful to others.
there's def no hope for me, what with the new campus and all.
I feel pretty defeated. For some reason, I thought I had a good chance b/c I felt like I did ok in the interview. And I've been accepted to a public school OOS. But on the other hand, that was pretty much a random stroke of luck. Apply to lots of places lads and lasses! I was only accepted to one.

still haven't looked yet. waiting for the roommate to leave so I won't be seen sobbing (haha)

lol, when is the roommate leaving? I wouldn't have the patience. I'd just go in the bathroom or something.
 
...lower 1/3 of the waitlist. wow. i'm crushed
 
To everyone that just got rejected or practically rejected like me, don't get too down, moments like these will only make you a stronger person, seriously. Keep your heads up and be proud of how much you have accomplished and get it next time!

Wow mc, looking at your stats I am really intimidated to reapply, how in the hell do you think you didn't make it with those stats?
 
wow really surprising considering your numbers and extra's. sigh. It's like you're on the edge of a precipice. When you know the only thing that keeps you level is that one acceptance holding you steady. (But definitely not literally.) It's very disturbing ot think what would have happened had I not gotten that ONE RANDOM acceptance.
You know, this might belong under bizarre interview situations, but after my second interview, I walked out with my interviewer, who said goodbye to me, after what I felt to be a better interview than any I had had previously, then added :" did you apply to other schools?" "yes [well naturally, I have a 3.3 🙁 ] "oh, well that is good"
S*** ! I was totally freaked out, then I told all the other interviewees and our tour guides, who were like, Whoa! then, "I'm sure she didn't mean it like that." And I guess she did.
 
i definitely had an "off" day at the interview... I knew I screwed it up when I left so I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, I just really wanted to go there! lol
 
Waitlisted-bottom third. I really don't want to go to the only med school to take me out of pure desperation in a dump city 🙁 Might choose more time off.
 
010101 and Ambrosha - what other acceptances did you two have?
 
Don't really want to say...might get people all fired up. It's just not in a city I would like to be in for sure.
 
Wait-listed, middle third. Damn.

I want to second this. I was flat out rejected last year- not even waitlisted. I don't have the strongest numbers and I also had one interview not go well. From what I've heard, everyone is ranked so closely that you really need two strong interviews to make it in. If you decide to reapply, I strongly recommend going to the meeting with the Dean. She will provide very specific advice on how to improve your application. I also think perseverance is something they look upon favorably- I worked on improving my application over the past year, and things worked out the second time. Sorry to everyone who's been disappointed today!

I'm currently waitlisted at two schools, and one of them I'm considering just withdrawing from. I had a bad interview day... not at the interview itself, but from the experience I had afterwards with my so-called friends. The other... might not be such a hot choice in terms of support, with the way things have been going lately.

This week just sucks.
 
Damn guys. I came to the thread hoping to see a lot of happy jumping up and down, but it seems that Colorado has been tough on a lot of applicants this year. For what it's worth, I recall hearing that attending the "why you didn't get in" conference is an absolute must for this next cycle.

Commiserations to those of you who didn't get in. Don't give up! Congrats, DoctorDreamer; a top-third wait list is as good as an admit, from what I hear. Be sure to drop by the Class of 2012 thread and say hi.
 
Middle third here as well, more waiting, poop on a stick.
 
Top third!! Woo-hoo!! But Im OOS, so that kind of stinks, I heard the OOS waitlist doesn't get as much movement, understandably. Now I have to decide bw Georgetown and Colorodo... (well hopefully I will have to decide.)
