Has anyone heard anything? As I understand the first batch of decisions will be going out sometime this week. I hope everyone gets in. The people and school are great.

I got my letter by US Priority mail as well just this weekend. My interview was a few weeks ago. It probably helps that I am a Georgia resident as well. Good luck to everyone. Hopefully the acceptances will start rolling in.kamal2toys said:

The day after I was complete, they sent me an invite to interview...my app was complete on a Monday and Mr. Nesmith says that the ad com meets every Monday, so that is probably why.
Also, the average MCAT scores are around the national average for URMs (25, I think) and GPAs are in the 3.3-3.5 range. Funny though, Mr. Nesmith said that people with 35's and 3.8s might get rejected because their goals are not in line with the school's mission! So, wanting to do primary care and/or work in underserved areas is key in your application.

a friend of mine just got waitlisted and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it? does morehouse pull alot of people off the waitlist? he is a ga resident with solid stats (3.5ish and 29).

i'm still waiting to hear......
if i remember correctly, mr. nesmith said that morehouse does waitlist a lot of people at first because the class size is so small (~40-50 students). a waitlist spot is not really that bad at morehouse, compared to a lot of other schools that have mile-long waitlists with tiers and scores and such. of course, an acceptance would be better.

Might have waitlisted him because they figure he'll get in somewhere else and would rather offer a spot to someone who would be more likely to go to Morehouse. And I did hear that they pull people off the waitlist when a spot opens up if those people have continued to show interest in the school (sent in updates, contacted the admissions office).pbehzad said:

I got a HOLD letter from Morehouse early December. Does anyone know if this is a good sign? I would love to attend to Morehouse because its close to home. Any suggestions on how I could get invited for an interview?
Thanks

1. Know your personal statement and AMCAS application.
2. Explain why you want to work for the underserved.
3. Act highly interested in the school
4. Know what sets you apart from an application that looks
the same as you on paper.
good luck! only 37 slots for females so i hung up my towel. 😀

I received a HOLD letter as well (I received mine on Monday) 🙁 I really like Morehouse and would be very happy to receive an interview there. I'm working very hard to be taken off of that HOLD status 😀

😱 Ouch, that's a bit steep. But right now, I'm just looking for a med school that I'll be happy at (even though it may be at a higher price than most schools..maybe...)
Thanks, LoveDoc, for the well wishes 😀

Thanks LoveDoc for the info. It seems that the unique question is very important at Morehouse.
Hopefully all will go well tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it.

Hi there, I contacted Morehouse on the telephone yesterday around 3:45pm. According to the secretary in the admissions office whom I spoke to, applicants can be removed off of the waitlist by sending in any additional material that may support their application. One such example are new grades/activities that have not been included already on the AMCAS application.
Hope this helps!

When I interviewed there, they seemed the most interested in people who are truly interested in the school. I think that if you call and say you are on the hold list but you are still interested in Morehouse and would love to interview there and ask if there is any additional info that they need that could help get you an interview, it might help. Showing interest definitely boosts you up there.

I got my interview invite today after calling to do a status check yesterday. I don't know if one has anything to do with the other but I guess that keeping in touch with the people in the office can't hurt.

congrats! I called today and they said that my 'hold' status won't be re-reviewed until March 5th. Anyone else get told about this re-review date? I am trying to figure out how promising this status is.

Just a quick update: I interviewed at Morehouse Jan.28th and one of the other interviewees asked if we were interviewing for the waitlist. The answer was an out and out avoidance of a direct question. Truth be told, we were interviewing for the waitlist because Morehouse is such a small school that they would have sent out all their initial acceptances by now until someone withdraws. So when I recieved my letter telling me that I was waitlisted, I wasn't surprised.

Hey everyone. Just want to put my two cents in. I was accepted to Morehouse back in December. Don't give up hope for getting off of the waitlist. I may not attend Morehouse because of a potential scholarship to another non-rolling school. I know a couple of people who are in the same boat. You will be doctors yet! 😀 I have a friend who is a first year at MSM who was moved off the waitlist in June (classes start in July)!

Morehouse suprises me.
I got waitlisted last yr after interviews. Sent at least 5 letters of interest within a 3 month span and called the office about 4 times re-establishing my interest. I didn't get in.
This year I reapplied, hoping to get at least an interview since I was good enough to make in on the alternate list last year.
I was placed on a pre-interview hold and just got a rejection letter yesterday.
That stung really bad because I loved the school.
If I didn't already have an acceptance elsewhere, it probably would have hurt even more.
Oh well!! That's life for you.

Just received my rejection letter in the mail...I'm neither sad nor bothered by it, though...What's meant to be will be. To the poster who asked about Howard, I applied to howard as well. I telephoned several times this week to speak to someone about my application. Not surprisingly, NO ONE ANSWERED. I've given up on Howard, and am focusing my energies on schools that will treat me with more respect and humanity 😀
