I really wouldn't worry about it. As many of us have realized, there are a lot of schools that don't update AADSAS as frequently as we would like. I don't think many people are going to be considered outright 'accepted' before the february 15th deposit deadline. So, if you get in contact with admissions they will most likely say you are only 'waitlisted' as of now.

Mine changed to waitlist on Jan 29.
I called after Dec 1 and they told me over the phone that I was waitlisted. But I never actually received any updates until Jan 29. I noticed that other students were actually waitlisted (got an actual notification) on Dec 1 or after and many of the students that were updated to waitlist actually got in when the next round of acceptances went out. The person who I know for sure is Victoria from reading an earlier thread. There were a few others as well.
To Predoctalk: Were you considered for Dec 1st acceptances? I don't think so and that means you were technically not waitlisted.
I could be wrong. I guess time will tell. Good news is we are not rejected. Goodluck!
Ah, touche. No, I wasn't considered for Dec 1st. When I called, they told me I was "essentially" waitlisted and I suppose that was the operative word! Good luck and thanks for the correction.
interviewed on Dec. 16, and waitlisted on Jan. 29.
Here is how I believe they are operating. They cannot outright "accept" anyone right now because they sent out enough offers to fill the class after the january 15th deadline. Therefore they have to wait until the february 15th deadline so they can count how many spots are open. So, if you were interviewed between that time, or were "waitlisted" from an pre-dec interview, they won't "accept" you until that time.
As Dr. Lippman said during our interview (and probably yours also), after admissions reviews your app they will accept or reject you. At this point in time if you are accepted you are put into a list of other accepted students, waiting for a spot. So, it basically is a waitlist.
Dr. Lippman also told us that he expects 20-30 spots to be open come feb. 15th. I've also read in past years that a fair amount of spots open up after the second deposit is due ~ april 15th.
Hope this helps, and if anyone else has anything to add or change, feel free!
Thank you, this was very helpful!
the second round went out in mid-january. As I said above, the third round will most likely be after feb 15
Has anyone heard back from NOVA after Jan 14th interview? I saw someone today who got waitlisted after Jan 13th interview. So I wasn't sure if Jan 13th was considered in the second round (or second ADCOM meeting).
Thanks for the input.👍
Thanks for the input.👍
the adcom met the morning of 1/13, therefore anyone after that (including 1/13 interviewees) were not considered for the second round. Call or email them and they will most likely let you know your status... good luck
If you call Dr.Lippman he will tell you if you were accepted or declined. I think if he doesn't say anything otherwise, you are waitlisted.
He said that they cannot send out the official letter until Feb 15th. So basically, everybody needs to wait till then!
Call admissions and ask for him. He's is really, really nice and friendly, so don't be scared! Out of all the school administrators I have spoken to, I would say he was the most caring of them all!
Has anyone recieved an accaptance recently? If so, when was the interview date?
😎I emailed Dr. Zarrett about a week ago, but I am still waiting for her reply. Has any one else heard back after Jan 14th interview? Or do we have to wait untill monday for the 3rd round?
Thanks
Thanks
Cmon....Anyone got the good news today?
Well I for one did not opt to go there (so that's one seat avail!!)😀...my deposit was due Feb 15th & they updated AADSAS right away to "Offer Declined", so I can only assume they tally those #s up & start making calls. I was orig offered a spot rom the waitlist Jan 15th around 5pm so given mon was a holiday (& no mail) they may be taking a little longer (also give the blizzard in northern states- maybe some ppl couldn't mail deposits timely enough). So keep hope alive for an offer 🙂 good luck!!
Don't lose hope! I am hoping that I should be hearing the good news until tomorrow!! GL👍
Yay, I just got a call from Dr. Lipman and he offered me an acceptance!!! I am so excited, good luck everyone!!!😀
I also received a call from Dr. Lippman for an acceptance. I am so pumped to go there!!!! Everyone who has not yet received an acceptance yet, hold tight. There is tonnes of movement in the applicant pools. For all those that have been accepted and are planning on attending, I look forward to joining you in the class of 2014!!
I was wait listed on AADSAS but my interview was mid Jan.
