Probably not. Current students also join the group.

Yeah there are A TON of M1s that are on that group also. Also I was told at interview day that they will have spots open until the last interview day which is tomorrow. They specifically hold spots open until everybody is interviewed. Obviously they are much more limited but more acceptances will definitely got out.

Silence

Silence

Don't worry. All of our acceptances will go out Monday for sure.

 

[WolverineNation]

Let's hope so... Fingers crossed.

when did you interview?

 

[WolverineNation]

when did you interview?

I believe JDWannabe, HardyWork and I all interviewed on the 31st.

 

[jerfer]

ah i gotcha. i interviewed back on the 10th and still silence :/

 

[JDWannabe]

ah i gotcha. i interviewed back on the 10th and still silence :/

I am channeling the quasi-real JD's optimism today. Unlike yesterday when I was re-he-he-he-heally channeling Dr. Cox with the massive amount of patients' issues I had to resolve.

Nothing here either

Does anyone know if students get designated time off to study for boards at the end of their M2 year?

June can be designated as a study month.

*patiently waits on waitlist movement*
*isn't really patient at all*
*is actually biting fingernails incessantly..*

At least you are on the waitlist. I'm still anxious about getting a status update one way or the other.

seriously. if I don't get an update by 4p today I'm calling in haha
today was the day we were supposed to hear back

We might be getting rejection letters in the mail dated today. That's my sarcastic and pessimistic side speaking though.

quite possible. but I think they may tell you if thats the case if you call in and ask about your status. could be wrong though, who knows.

When I interviewed, I called in to ask the week of when I was supposed to find out, and once the week after and I got the response that I'm pending, was even told this by the admissions director. Also something confusing about the Dean putting applications on hold before available seats were known. Voila, a few days later, got a WL letter dated the original day we were told to hear back.

 

[HardyWork]

What time do they usually send out the updates?

I've a feeling my group was interviewing for the waitlist.

last round of acceptances seemed to have gone out around 4:30pm.

 

[Captain_Underpants]

Do you guys think I would be insane to decline my acceptance in favor of Touro CA

lol I feel like I fit better there but maybe I'm going crazy

 

[WolverineNation]

Nothing on my end either... let us know what they say if you call in Jerfer!

You should go to Touro CA so there's one extra spot for us 😀

lmao I knew someone was gonna say that

Haha but honestly it depends if you want to be in Florida or California... both are great schools with a lot of opportunities to succeed.
Btw - what time did you get the acceptance email from NOVA?

lol im so jaded after having had to wait over a month to hear back. not even phased really

 

[WolverineNation]

Dang sorry to hear! So you both got an email saying you were waitlisted? I remember reading somewhere that WL or Rejections would be a letter in the mail...
Nothing yet on my end though.... so anxious to hear back.

 

[Captain_Underpants]

The next deposit date is the 21st so maybe some spots will open up for you guys.

Stay positive

What were your guys' stats? Trying to gauge and see whether your outcomes were inevitable or a result of your #'s.

 

[JDWannabe]

Waitlisted

Did you call?

Edit: Never mind. I didn't refresh my screen in time, it seems.

 

[WolverineNation]

I'm curious as well if you guys don't mind sharing. When did you interview redhope?

 

[jerfer]

they interviewed under 500 applicants out of 12,000 applications. if you received an interview, your stats are a non-issue

 

[jerfer]

it seems to me like they're being as conservative as possible with acceptances given that they over admitted last year.

 

[WolverineNation]

Good point. I wonder if they just sent out too many acceptances and are waiting for the next deposit deadline before they send out more?

 

[HardyWork]

Did you call?

Edit: Never mind. I didn't refresh my screen in time, it seems.

No the letter said not to call.

Don't pick Touro over this excellent school...Touro just raised their tuition from just north of 49k to 51450 and I don't reckon any major changes on campus were made ...

I was accepted to both and Western Pomona. Will be going with NOVA. It's nice knowing I won't have to drive 45 minutes to another city or cold call for research ops.

Did a bunch of investigating into all 3 and NOVA is king. If you need reasons to go with this school PM me.

 

[jerfer]

this is purely conjecture

but a lot of students who were taken off the wait list last year said that they got an acceptance in june. my guess would be they're just going to send a bunch of acceptances out around then depending on how many people decline acceptances. so, looks like 2 more months of limbo for me

What's the date your letter was postmarked? I'm from Missouri, so I'm wondering if it took longer to get here depending on where you're from. (Long-time lurker, interviewed 3/29, deadline given to me was today)

They both got an email informing them.

Edit - never mind. I misread.
