renovatio. 3302 is almost complete...
I called today, and i'm still under review too. I interview in early jan . Now, I've heard that they're sending out acceptances, rejections, and "alternate list". my friend called and was speciifcally told he was on the alternate list but when I called I was told I am still under review. Are these the same thing? tsdbird, any ideas?I called the admissions office today. My file is still "under-review."
My interview date was the end of February. Anybody still under-review?
Well, someone did say that they are meeting every week in april. So that means there is atleast one meeting left next week. And they would not meet if they had rejected everyone who was going to be rejected, nor would they meet if they have accepted everyone who was going to be accepted. I think they are just narrowing down the pool to the middle, and people who are still "under review" are the on-the-fence cases. For me personally...with the "you'll be notified by the end of the month" response instead of the still "under review" I have a feeling my outcome might be not as pretty. Anyone who feels like telling me I am wrong and to be optimistic, please go ahead.
Congrats!!!!!!!!I just got "The Call."
Apparently the adcom met yesterday.
I will write more when I have collected myself.
Good luck everyone.
311, you have to get in. Your stats are great and you have been active in your church for 8 years...that sounds like the perfect non-sda applicant to me
Have you called and bugged them?

that is kinda what i was told "would be notified by the end of the month"
I dont think anyone has been accepted via snailmail, but hopefully (for you and me and others) that the final acceptances are just being sent out via bulk mail
NMRguy (above) said he was told he was waitlisted but didnt say how he was told (call, email, mail)
atleast you have temple
rejected via snailmail.
32R MCAT
3.94 GPA
what the crap else did I need?
good luck to everyone else....thanks for all your encouragement
I couldn't hold out any longer, and finally decided to call the admissions office. They also said I should expect a letter in the mail any day. Since I didn't get a call from Dr. Nyiradi last Friday, I am absolutely positive this is a rejection. Looks like it's Game Over for staying in Southern California.
Good luck to all of you who are still waiting. At least if you are on the alternate list, or haven't been reviewed yet, you're still in the running for a spot!
PS. If anyone from LLU is reading this, it was exquisitely cruel how you guys made me fill out the financial aid application, fax over forms, and even get a financial aid award. You should really save that for people who are surely accepted.
Got the unranked alternate letter in the mail today in San Diego.
also on the unranked alternate list...how does the "unranked" work? the meet and decide every time a spot opens up? Is it safe to hold your breath for 3 months? I'm not sure i'm gonna be able to breathe 'til I found out my fate...lol
There's an official "waitlist" that's ranked, then there's an alternate list that isn't ranked. As spots open up, they go through all the names on the waitlist first. After that, they go through the alternate list if necessary. Essentially, the unranked alternate list is just a backup to the official waitlist. I hope that helps..
source? To date, this year no one has been told they are on a "waitlist". Only accepted, rejected, or alternate list.
I'm very curious to know the source as well, because by the wording on the letter, it seems like there is a legitimate chance we will get in off this alternate list (they want us to keep updating them on grades, and complete our financial aid applications).

So i was reading over the letter i received when i was place on the alternate list and it said we could be notified of an acceptance as late as august 7. But, i also said that tuition was due by july 31. how the heck does that work? We have to pay to go to the school before we even get accepted? That just seems wrong. Then again, seeing as how there has been absolutely ZERO waitlist movement in the last TWO MONTHS, I'm not sure it really even matters. Getting real close to just giving up......
If you go to Loma Linda, do you have to go to church?
This is very disappointing. Given the competition in CA, we have only one medschool that can help non-traditional students and this school is completely entrenched in religion. I thought that accepting applicants based on age, sex, race, and religion is discrimination. How can this school be above the law? I bet if you don't disclose your religion they will automatically assume you are not Christian. This is upsetting and this school is probably off my future list, although I will try to read a bit more about it. Probably having classmates most of whom don't believe in evolution won't be the most rewarding experience for many of us who don't believe in the bible. This is very disappointing and upsetting, but at least it will save money and time by not applying to LLU. It's funny how I never liked the name of the school and today I find out what it actually represents.
I just got that long-awaited, desperately hoped for call from Dr. Nyiradi today! They met last week, and they are in the process of calling the accepted students today. Good luck, and keep up hope.
