We can't move that early because of work, but I am wondering if you might have some suggestions regarding looking for houses specifically? My boyfriend and I are really trying to get a small house if we can or if not a house a townhouse...after apartment dwelling in the city for 5 years we really don't want to do that anymore 🙁
I felt the same way regarding my interview. Not necessarily that it went terribly, but that the interviewers asked such tip-of-the-iceberg questions and in such an unusual format, i.e. the group interview. But lo and behold, I was accepted!
SH or Erie?
I would check the usual places, like craigslist and zillow for listings. You want to stay in or around Millcreek township. I would avoid houses near downtown, like north of 26th street or east of Peach street. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding a house. If you have kids you really want to be in Millcreek as the Erie city school district is terrible (had to pull my kid out after about a month to be home schooled). I know that there are houses that the school owns that are reserved for residents first and students second that you might be able to be put on a list for, but I don't have any real info on that, but I know if you search here or look on facebook for the Erie Med Wives page that they have the details on that. I hope that helps.
It doesn't necessarily mean they've immediately sent it. They might wait until they're all collated, signed, and enveloped. It can take a couple days. I know it did for my batch. I think we had the portal change on a Wednesday, and the letters were mailed the following Monday.
I interviewed last Friday as well and my portal hasn't changed, now I'm nervous. They told us they were meeting Wednesday this week to make decisions on applicants.
That's what our registration packet said. But others might have a different packet if they were accepted earlier or later. Just make sure to look at the email and documents attached.
Yeah I will be.
Unfortunately, you'll have to learn the hard way like I did that there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to the portal system. I honestly wish they would do away with it if they're going to not use it to its full potential.
I called admissions office inquiring about the same and they got back to me by email and informed me that they had not yet sent out decisions for candidates who interviewed January 7th (Erie Campus) onwards. She said the portal should change in 1-2 weeks to "decision made" and soon after that we should be receiving our letters with the decision made by the committee. It's been a week since she sent me that email so hopefully after this coming Wednesday's meeting, we will have a "decision made" on the "admission status" tab.
I was complete in mid-late October and interviewed in December. I would advise you contact the school. They may have you marked as missing something in your app when you are set to go
