I can't remember the exact dates, but i applied mid October and got a call for an interview the next week.
 
Anyone else get accepted to University of Iowa? Any thoughts/comments about the program? I’m out of state and trying to decide if I want to go there

I'm curious why you declined an interview without acceptances yet. Was there something in particular you learned about that school? Not trying to judge- I just automatically committed to any interview I got at first because who knew if the others would accept me.

I totally understand! Well, the dates for FGCU and UTHSC were right after the other(One was Friday the other Saturday). I didn’t have the ~700 dollars it would cost to book two flights so close together so I had to choose. Florida would have put me near 200,000 dollars in debt if I got accepted whereas I’d be closer to just 100,000 in Tennessee. So I chose Tennessee, although I would have loved to attend both.

Half the cost? Dude, that's pretty significant... if it's a great program, what are your reasons for not going other than kinda wanting to stay in the area?

The main reason is that I’m part of a faith community here that is literally like family. And I wouldn’t know anyone there. I just hate to leave the home I have here in my community. But... ‍:shrug:
 
Has anyone heard from Rosalind Franklin? I submitted my app Sept. 28th and have not heard anything since other than an email in mid-October saying "we believe you demonstrate strong credentials and you are still under continue consideration. . . ."
Not sure if this is good or bad seeing the initial email said we would hear back in 6 weeks and it has been 9!

I got that email too. I hope we both hear from them! I feel like I have a good application overall, only thing I’m worried about with UCF is the GRE is really important to them and my scores for that aren’t the most competitive. And I applied on the later side

Yes I agree and my scores aren't that great either and they said this year they're weighing GRE and GPA higher. They also said they will favor those who finish the prereqs but I'm still in the process of completing two right now. Good luck! Keep me updated.

I heard back a while ago but I don't think I made it far into their application process because of one of my grades in Chemistry.

Yea I went to their open house in July and that was said which kind of sucks :/ I graduated in 2018 so I have eveything finished, I'm just hoping my GRE is good enough. A friend of mine got a call for an interview last week but hopefully they're still making calls. Good luck to you as well, let me know if you hear anything!

So I applied in late August and had a September interview. I'm currently on the waitlist, but have heard there is one more interview date in January apparently so maybe you will be invited to that one?

Thank you for the info! Yes I hope so. I feel if I were denied they would have let me know by now (hopefully lol). I heard someone get an interview who submitted their application after mine but I still haven’t heard anything... which seems strange, but must be part of their process.
