"We will get back to you in 4 -6 weeks" that always cracks me up

I know it's not on the website but One school even said "You should hear back within 1 or 2 weeks from today (Interview day)"... It has now been 3.75 months.

They holistically review high stats applicants.

Well of course. Need to reduce the number of 511/3.7 heathens that apply.

While I was trying to fill out Creighton's secondary I kept perusing through their website, searching for reasons to apply to their school. Unfortunately, I kept stumbling upon the picture below. The one guy in the picture really really bothered me (I don't know why), but after seeing him and realizing the school is in Omaha, Nebraska I pretty much decided I didn't want to attend Creighton anymore. Not sure, if "funny" I just needed to tell somebody.

...But he has long luscious locks

On the Albert Einstein webpage, there's a section that talks about off campus interviews and it also says this: "We haven't lost an applicant yet, so please do not be concerned if your interviewer is located elsewhere!"

He's the head of their Sim Center if I remember correctly from my interview day. He's super nice and absolutely hilarious!

On Einstein's FAQ:

"Can I use the gym when I come for an interview?

Yes, if you let us know in advance."

How many people ask this that it's a must to include on the FAQ??? Lol

I went one day short of 6 months between my interview and acceptance last year. In all fairness though, we were told that most of us would be waiting until March 15 on interview day. It almost felt like fantasizing about winning the lottery.

There's still a couple schools I haven't heard from. And a few residency programs. And a few fellowships.

Even @Winged Scapula is waiting for a few residency programs to respond as well if I remember right.

Rejection letter motifs

"There were many more highly qualified applicants than interview spots available" = "This was what we like to call a non-random lottery"
"This is not a reflection of your ability to pursue a career in medicine" = "Your rejection from a committee that decides whether you have the ability to pursue a career in medicine is not a reflection of your ability to pursue a career in medicine"
"Unfortunately, we cannot provide feedback on your application" = "Ask your pre-med advisor, who compiles a list of MCAT tips via Google searches, for help"
"We wish you well in your future endeavors" = "Apply dental"
