I have a feeling that a lot of us will be hearing from schools next week...here's a load of good luck to any of us who hasn't heard anything yet!
mountain man said:I forgot to ask you eighannelay, are you a Minnesota resident?
mountain man said:Thats great news eighannelay. I also applied to Ohio and I did not even know they were doing anything yet. I am a PA applicant. Well, after reading some of these posts I have mixed feelings about what I will get. I will keep my fingers crossed. Good luck to you with everything!
meyao said:Joslin, Holden, and others who recently got interviews at Tufts: did you just get the letter today (Saturday)? And what state or region (if you don't want to be more specific) do you live in? I'm on the West Coast and expect that mail will take longer to get out here. (I have to keep telling myself this to keep from going crazy!!!)
I just checked my mail ten minutes ago, and all I got were some bills and Netflix DVDs!
mysterypie said:OSU started interviewing in state applicants immediately after there September 30th deadline. I knew someone who was interviewed and accepted by mid october. Anyway, I think they have finished most of their in state interviews by now and are moving on to out of state interviews January, February.
OSU accepts as the interview. Many people I know were told they were accepted at the end of their interview. I was notifed in a letter about 1.5 weeks after my late November interview. I don't know quite how it works for out-of-staters but you should be getting interview invites to OSU soon but you may not hear anything until as late at March.
Hope that helps! Leighann...are you defiantely going to OSU?

When did you guys submit your application? I assume by your early interviews that you probably sent stuff in fairly early, but if you could give me some sense of when that would be most helpful.
Thanks!
Jen
eighannelay said:Hi Jen,
I submitted my application on September 30. On the application tracking page it said my app was under academic review for the 1st 2 or 3 weeks. After that it said it was sent to the adcom for evaluation, and I got my interview invite in the mail 12/1. I interviewed 2 weeks later and then was accepted a week and a day after that by telephone. Hope that helps. Are you waiting to hear from them? Are you in state or out of state?
meyao said:Thanks!
And by the way, congratulations on Cornell!
Weren't you previously a premed student? What inspired you to switch over from people to animals?
meyao said:Good for you, Lulu. I'm glad you returned to your true love, so to speak.
By the way, after hearing about all the East Coasters who heard from Tufts yesterday, I was getting all set to stalk to mailman tomorrow.
And then I get on the phone with my dad, who asked me: "Do you get the day off tomorrow?" Me: "Why?" Dad: "It's a holiday!"
Remember those Peanuts cartoons when someone yells "AAAAARGH!!!"?
Thanks, bud! I could use a lotta luck at this point!mountain man said:Well Loo, I'm still looking for love too at Florida, Tennessee, Ohio, Penn, Tufts, Minnesota, LSU, and Guelph. I read your post about the last to be picked, but cheer up! We're in this together! I wanted to ask you before about where you interviewed for the island schools. Did you do it in the US, or did you go there? Here is some extra luck for the both of us! X (100000000000000000000000).
sorry about that, thats better
skibum said:Congrats on everyone's acceptances. For those of you whose news wasn't as good, hang in there, your time will come. Take it from someone who is on their third attempt! As for me I got the interview invite from Minnesota, and I am 15th on the alternate list at NCState.
katemez said:I also got a Tufts interview invite... for 2/13. Anyone know what percentage of people they interview are accepted? Or how soon they tell you after the interview?
chickenboo said:I GOT INTO COLORADO!!!! I just got the letter today, 1-17. It's dated 1-13. I'm shaking I'm so happy!!!! Hope everyone else who applied hears good news!!
Joslin said:I said the interview would ruin my Valentine's Day, but that's b/c it's on the 15th and it's a long drive. Actually, I'm one of the last to interview, hope that doesn't mean anything. I think I was in a similar spot last year.
legs1011 said:Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum, but I just got an interview at Tufts, and it's on the 9th. I am actually a grad student there now, and to answer your questions, they interview 240 people and they offer spots to 120 of those. From this point on it's a numbers game for them. Everyone is already ranked with a score and then everyone is given an interview score and that is worked into your score. They then meet as a comittee and talk over every applicant and make their decision.
Hope this helps and best of luck to all of you!
PS, I already got rejected from Purdue and Cornell, and I'm waiting to hear from Penn, Wisconsin and Colorado.

meyao said:Congratulations! What a great way to start off the week (yesterday doesn't count b/c it was a HOLIDAY -- i.e. NO MAIL!
Was it a thin letter or a thick packet? Normal mail or Priority?
