Members don't see this ad.

That's exactly what I thought. I gave all of my MCAT stuff away. So happy I'll never have to spend money on med school apps or the MCAT again.

Hahaha that was my first reaction too! I'm keeping my MCAT stuff for my sister if she ends up going through this nightmare, but by the time she takes it the new MCAT will already be out and I'm sure they will have all new prep books tailored to the new style... Sigh. Oh well. I'm sure they can make a decent size fire 😉

NeuroLAX now you've inspired me...MCAT BOOK BURNING PARTY....could throw some physics on those flames too...

I can already picture myself laughing maniacally.

It can't come soon enough. The last couple of weeks I have lived and breathed by east coast time. First for interview invites, and now for the decision from Nova.

My morning starts at 5:00 am (west coast), which is when I am hoping the people are getting into their offices in Florida. By the time I am out of the shower/dressed/dog fed/coffee in a cup/breakfast cereal in a bowl/sat down at the table/CHECK E-MAIL and SDN it is 5:45 (8:45 on the east coast... why have they not emailed me yet!!!!)

Off to work by 6:20. That gives me 35 minutes to be away from a computer so I cannot obsess over this... At work before 7:00 (10:00 east coast. What are they doing there! why are they not sending out my email!)...

The rest of the day seems similar. What time is it here. Add three hours... What can they be doing? Until 2:00, which is really 5:00 there. SO SAD. Admissions people have gone home for the evening to be with their families. I have another evening of forming an stomach ulcer. It is a good thing that I have a Rx for Pepsid. Otherwise I would probably not have a stomach lining any more. Ha Ha.

After my waitlist from LECOM-B, I am a little more nervous about this one. Getting an acceptance would get my confidence back for my upcoming two interviews after next weekend.

dsoz

Well, thanks for making me feel a little better about my paranoia. I check SDN and my email pretty much as often as it sounds like you do, I just don't have time zones mapped out or think much about it. Just a reflex to refresh on my phone.

 

[dudeliness]

Accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So exciting

First of all, and most importantly, a giant WELL DONE!!

Next, if you don't mind. What's the first letter of your last name? Trying to establish a pattern here. 😀

I wish I knew how to do a blush smiley from my phone because I'm blushing now. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Thankfully, I'm letting the stress of waiting ebb away. I think I may sleep tonight. Lol

They only got to "C" today... 🙁

That means it will be a long time before they get to "S" Maybe even into next week. That would suck big time.

Just hoping for better than a waffle. 😉

IF Nova accepts me I am going to have a hell of a choice between NSU and KCUMB. I guess this is one of those first world problems people write about.

[qwerty2012]

Has anyone gotten put on the waiting list or something worse from early interviews? Looks like most got in.

 

[DukeDO]

accepted--S last name lol

 

[dudeliness]

Accepted! Was there ever any doubt....heck yes there was. lol

dsoz! You should be hearing back any minute now!

P.S.
They attached the scanned letters from the Dean and admissions, but I've heard of others who got an email saying they were in and then they found out they aren't. Should I hold off celebrating until I get the letter in the mail?

Congrats. I'm so happy you didn't have to pay LECOM.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using SDN Mobile

[ChuckDiesel]

Anyone else in here in the crew that got the phone call from the quality assurance department asking why / if you are going to schedule your interview date? Got that call today... called admissions... Oh yeah we have had a lot of those calls sorry, system error we will send you the invite. Ugh. Glad I was not banking on Nova. Just sucks I should of had my interview a month or so ago.

I got this call the other day. I was finally able to get someone on the phone today and they told me all their interview spots are filled and I could maybe have a chance in January when they add more dates. I'm pretty disappointed about it because I really wanted to interview there.

No I didn't pay. I would have had to send it in today! Talk about cutting it close.
LECOM wasn't bad, but nova just plain ROCKS!

Nuthin but love for all my SDN buddies right now. Thanks for all the congrats!

 

[ag0637]

I just wanted to let everyone who got the "quality assurance" call regarding an interview invitation know that they are no longer honoring those calls. I just spoke to an admissions counselor and she said that it was a "glitch in the system" and that none of those people contacted have guarenteed interview invitations when they have open spots in January. I just wanted to let y'all know so you weren't banking on them.

 

[MedPR]

Anyone accepted last Friday still not have their acceptance packet? Was it a large envelope or just a normal letter?

With all this talk of "accidental" interview invites, I'm wondering if they accidentally sent me an acceptance..

Edit: Damnit, I still need a non-science professor LOR. I just noticed it included i that acceptance PDF.

 

[dsoz]

Acceptance this morning!

I would just call. I'm sure it just got lost. With Anastasia gone and the dean out of town it seems like things have been pretty hectic

I'd join 🙂

Hey that's awesome! Looks like a worthwhile trip to Florida, huh?
Still holding out for other schools?

Mine says to send in transcripts from both my schools, and some kind of a technical standard certificate. No idea what that is.
You are in, they just want to complete your file, right?

Are you still holding out for other schools or do I get to look forward to dudeliness as a fellow classmate?

 

[nBeeDee]

Accepted this morning by email!!!!!! I interviewed last week. Woohoo!

Still have DMU and western Lebanon to interview at. I'm torn trying to decide who I'd choose if I heard back positively from AZCOM or ATSU SOMA. The Phoenix area would be great for my little family, but nova is awesome and cheaper than AZCOM. ATSU SOMA could allow us to be really close to my wife's family in Portland at their CHC out there. Too hard to say!

You are a brave man dudeliness for not sending in that deposit. I would have been too paranoid to not to send in the $$. So happy LECOM doesn't get $1500 richer at your expense.

Yup you're in. They just want the transcripts to complete your file. They send you the technical standards sheet in the mail.

Accepted 🙂

Received the email at ~7:00 this morning... but of course today was the day I lay in bed for hours and didn't check my phone til 12:30 haha

Anyway, congrats to dudeliness and dSoz and the rest of you guys! This is really awesome.

Also -- now I can officially forget about LECOM. Ever since my back-to-back Bradenton/Nova interviews, I've been thinking more and more about PBL and how it's a huge gamble... so this acceptance came at a great time. Nova is expensive, but that's really the only problem I have with it.

PS: I also got accepted into the 2012 class, according to the Dean 😉

I also have a non-science prof letter listed as one of my outstanding items.. But I thought if we send in a committee letter, that should cover it.. Emailed Nova just now to check. Hopefully I don't have to send in another letter.. Went through the whole committee letter process for convenience and so do.not.like. :/
