Started by little Buddy

Is your status blank or does it say "A decision was made on your application. You will receive a letter within 30 days."???

It's not blank unfortunately---it says "a decision was made......."
I'm sure I'm just overanxious AKA freaking out!!!!
She updated mine right there and it took maybe a couple seconds.
How do you fellow alternates see January playing out? The "priority" get their offers and then we have to wait another month or would they start picking people of the alternate list 5,10 or maybe 20 a time at that point?

FWIW, my best guess would be
20 invites towards the end of December or very early January
10 invites every couple of weeks from January through April
5 invites every couple of weeks from April to June
(actually have no idea but that would be my plan if I were doing it)
How many do you think will accept from the initial 100? 35-40?
I think they will most likely end up with around 560-575 interviewees total based on the history of when new schools opened. For instance, MWU-AZ interviewed 570 people for 110 seats for the class of 2009 based on the Official ADEA 2010 statistics. 🙂 Oh, and then MWU-AZ accepted 213 people total for that year.
I think a majority of those will decline the interview offer. But yea we are competing with a lot of people.
Is that how many interview invites were sent or the number who actually interviewed?
That's a good question. It says "Number Interviewed" ..so I'm guessing that's how many they interviewed?? 😕
Page 32: Look at Midwestern 🙂 Then add up the amount for in-state and out-of-state.

It looks like it is the number that interviewed. Sh***y. Better start revamping my app...If their dental school will be anything like the med school app when it first opened, they took about 70% off their WL to fill a class of 150. That includes accepted pending open seat people I think which would be our priority people.

Why even interview us when they know we wont be a first round acceptance?
That's all?! 😱 It feels like months lol. I just keep thinking of Dumb and Dumber "So you're telling me there's still a chance". Yea I guess there were 150ish on the list but who knows how many are on ours. I just like hearing people decline, decline, decline.
Do you have that for Western?
Oh nooo all I have is what is in that PDF file. It's NR (not reported) for Western. I'm planning to purchase the newest addition when it comes out in February though. 🙂
I just wanted to see the data for Western when they opened.
The only people they will flat out reject are international students, but you're probably right about keeping everyone else in the the active pool. I would at least. I wondering when they will rank the list if at all? It is odd that they wouldn't update with a "accepted pending open seat" status like they do with their med and pharm programs but they have been full of surprises and I believe the priority list statement. I have no reason not to believe it.

I wish Mr. Rodgers was my neighbor lol.
This is from last years DO thread: "Ok I received a response from LECOM today and this is what I was told: they won't be reviewing us again until late May. There are usually about 100 alternates and around 40-50 are accepted from it. Its good news I'd say a nearly 50% chance isn't bad although it doesn't make it any easier to plan this coming fall haha"
But this is after 3 years of top board pass rate. Before they were taking over 70 from that list.

Yep. The good news is we will know who has accepted the alternate position in nine days!

Yea I am thinking about he academic update and having another LOR sent in. Can you imagine being selected a week before school?
I believe May is significant for Med because that's when those with multiple MD offers need to choose which opens seats at DO programs. So yea, their May is our January. I would think that offers to the priority applicants would be sent out late Dec. early Jan. with alternate offers mid to late Jan.

Yea I can't imagine how that works out. Where would you stay? Can you really get a 400k loan in a day? I would also accept but man life would really suck for those first few weeks. It would be a mix of overwhelming joy and anger lol.
That would be pretty awesome. Any new with MW?not to rain on y'alls parade, but could you keep this thread a little more on topic
This thread functions as a support thread as well.
Read this thread about LOI. I hope that's not the case..... But what do you think?

Too late, it might be true, it might not but gauging from what those did to get off the pharm and med list at LECOM, not some other school, worked. They also did the academic update, sent in another LOR.
Ask the admissions counselor at your school if showing interests in a LOI is bad thing. They usually suggest it along with updating any other activities since mid summer.
Whats the difference between alternate who express zero interest and play it "too cool for your school" or those who say "Hey this is why I chose to apply to your school and what I will bring to class". Desperate? Some might thing so, but not expressing any interest at this point is also a turn off in my book. I know some like the "hard to get" thing but I think LECOM wants students who really want to go there and say it.
I'm not too desperate to drop 350K on school for an awesome career when I could use my degree and make 70k in May, but it would be pretty neat.
