Evms

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
That means anytime now.... They better hurry up cuz I'm startin to lean towards Drexel
 
junos...whats your cutoff until you decide just to stick with drexel bc evms is taking so long
 
Till time starts running out to get situated in either state. Both sound like decent deals to me.
 
hey palmtree you make your weekly friday call? anyword?
 
yep i did

toni: 'your gpa isnt above 2.75'
me: 'right, but i'm still on the waitlist..so i'm just hoping there will be movement all the way to the bottom where i'm probably at'
toni: 'well, your chances of being admitted to our program with that gpa are close to nil'
me: 'alrighty, thanks anyways and i'll still give you a call next friday'

hahaaa..didnt go too well obviously...but if i gave up everytime someone criticized my gpa, i wouldnt be an MCAT gchem and ochem instructor for the princeton review or a published author either. constant vigilance

If she's so against your gpa why didn't she just reject you? It really pisses me off when programs string people along.

aint that the truth...the underlying theme in all this crap (not just evms, but application proccesses in general) is conflicting information...
so the chances are 'close to nil', but the waitlist is 'a great place to be' and theres been movement all the way to number 40 last year, and only 35 on the waitlist this year. i figure even if i'm 35/35 on the waitlist...considering the movement in years past, i still got a shot...but apparantly not according to them.

gotta love it
 
Was she talking about overall gpa? So far I have gotten into BU and UMDNJ but still waiting for Drexel response and EVMS waiting list, it is getting to be a ridiculously long wait and every time I call the admissions there is no info to be had
 
i just dont un derstand why there hasnt been any movement when people have withdrawn and why they are being so secretive about it...maybe they have accepted from the waitlist, but those people dont go on sdn
 
the waitlist is moving ... i just got the call today. and for the record, i was "in the middle" so keep up hope! (but make sure u have a backup plan just in case). i don't know how many people are behind me
 
so you got accepted??? if so have you been calling them often or have you done anything since you have been waitlisted?
 
i sent an updated transcript about two weeks ago, and i called them twice about waitlist movement. cross your fingers and hope for the best!
 
what were your stats if you dont mind me asking...and are you going? i wonder whats up with the waitlist because they said i was upper third but i haven't heard ****?
 
hey sgod..take what they say with a grain of salt...i was told a few times that i was in the upper 1/3, but alas...bottom half was the truth. they were just looking at my mcat and assuming i was up there without actually looking at the list (after speaking w/ dr meyer). call them up, see what they say, because we can only speculate.

congrats on your acceptance madnes, hope to be ur classmate in the fall!
 
mmadnes18 ....sorry forgot to congratulate you
 
hey guys...just to let you know i withdrew my acceptance at 9am this morning and i hope one of ya'll gets it. although, mmadnes it looks like you may have and i hope that's the case. either way, i hope to see all of you at EVMS this fall because i was lucky enough to get off the MD program waitlist. good luck.

Try www.craigslist.com, lots of postings there. Drive around because people put up "for rent" signs. I live in hague park in a studio apartment across the street from EVMS. Rent is $750 and will be available August 1st. PM me if interested.

there are definitely one bedroom apt's for rent in ghent; i just turned down two of them...one a $850/mo studio near the Chrysler museum, and another a $630 basement efficiency 4 blocks from campus.

if you're still interested in finding something, let me know. i dont have the numbers and addresses on me currently, but i can find them easily.

ALSO, i just bought a 2bdrm condo RIGHT NEXT TO CAMPUS (literally, like 1 minute and a half walk away) and im looking for a roommate. does anyone know how to log in to sinapse (angelina smith is on vacation, it seems)? or is anyone interested in living in a nice new condo right next to campus?

hit me up here or email [email protected]
 
phishfood....did you get into evms off the waitlist or normal acceptance...sorry doesnt have much to do with your roomate thing

Unfortunately, you probably wont be able to log onto sinapse until orientation starts, but call the technical department and see if they can help you out. They handle all the username and password stuff as well as wireless connections for laptops.

normal acceptance. found out about 2 weeks after i applied. Met with Dr. Myers, he told me I was an ideal candidate, so I applied.
 
wow i didn't even know eastern virginia had a program! is it too late to submit my app now?
 
anyone hear anything or call evms lately?

nah, i stopped calling the office ever since the 'close to nil' crushed my hope. i've been trying to call dr meyer , but everytime i call i get his voicemail. im in at rfu, so im planning for that. you call evms recently? good luck buddy
 
i called last week and they said i moved into the top 5 on the list, but that doesnt mean much really...i just hope more people reject there acceptance but i'm worried not that much movement happens this late into the summer
 
Anyone know anything about the Bristol at Ghent?
 
dooom,
i just put a deposit down on a place at the Bristol today. they are absolutely amazing apartments about a 10 min walk from school. kind of on the expensive side, but definitely worth it. give them a call an ask for Anette if you are interested, she's really cool. i'll be an M1 at evms next year so if you have any questions, pm me.
 
HELL YEAH. I have a place to live!!! Thanks for the help bikedoc, i'll be on the first floor. I'm moving in Aug. 1st. Now I get to look forward to packing!
 
when is orientation for tha program? not that I got off that waitlist yet... 🙁
 
Has anybody received their financial aid award letter? I was told a while back that they would be sent mid June but when I was in Norfolk at the very end of June they said they hadn't sent them out yet... and still don't have it. I am anxiously awaiting its arrival so I can prove my income and get the place to live at which I currently have an application pending.

Congrats to all that have been accepted, and good luck to those those who are still waiting...
 
and yes I do believe that orientation is Aug 14. Does anybody have any idea when classes start? When I called about the financial aid award letter I also asked about the schedule and they said it could be as late as the end of July early August before they finalized it. I was just wondering if anybody had heard anything to the contrary.

as of like, 2 days ago, our letters were to be mailed out in 10 days...so that makes 8 days. they had just met to revise the budget and were sending award letters out to people in the programs that started the earliest
 
anyone call recently, im trying not to give up and continue hoping for good news 🙂

I'm also on the waitlist for the EVMS Medical Masters program. Today I got a phone call from them asking if I was still interested in the program. They said there might be a few slots opening up in the near future and they are calling the people who are high on the waiting list to see if they are still interested. 👍

She also said that I would be hearing from them within the week.
 
Yah I got that same call today... What are your stats if you don't mind me asking and would you still go if you got in...I'm praying I get one of those spots

3.41 GPA, 29Q MCAT. You know, the old "not quite good enough to get into medical school" numbers. :laugh:
 
Those are pretty good numbers...are you waitlisted at med schools and are you planning on going to evms med masters if you get in
 
sgod34 said:

I'm not waitlisted at any medical schools. If I get accepted to the EVMS med masters program, I will probably accept, although I am not 100% sure. I already paid a $600 deposit for another SMP program at a very prestigious school, and I would hate to just have to eat that $600. But right now it's just speculation, I haven't been offered a seat and I still might not be so I don't want to get my hopes up just to have them dashed. I'll cross that bridge if and when I come to it.
 
A Question for current or accepted EVMSers:

Have any of you run into any Canadians accepted to the MS program? I'm currently attending a top 15 school here in the US, and was interested in applying to EVMS for the master's, and perhaps later on to the med school, but I'm not sure if they accept Canadians (either program). Any information would be much appreciated.
 
I just a phone call from EVMS today. I am off the waitlist for the medical masters program!

Congrats! You're the first person accepted on SDN since I withdrew. So...you're welcome. 😉
 
hahaha, congrats Rob, this upcoming year should be a good time. Where are you moving from and any idea where you are gonna live?
 
congrats rob, thats awesome....have you decided if you are gonna go?

I'm coming from Michigan. I'm going to accept and I have NO idea where I'm going to live. They are fed-ex overnighting me the acceptance package, so once I get that then I'm going to hit the Internet and start looking at housing options.

I just can't turn down EVMS. You take medical school classes and it has the BEST linkage percentage of any SMP since Rosalind Franklin did away with their AP program. It's pretty much a guaranteed med school acceptance as long as you do well in the program, and the best part, NO GLIDE YEAR!
 
yah, EVMS is great...i'm glad someone from sdn got in...i just hope there is still room for me 😕
