Thought I'd start a thread for those of us who haven't heard anything from any schools yet regarding acceptances. Give us a chance to vent a little. 😀

Any takers?


Keep in mind that even if you don't hear right away, as long as they haven't rejected you, there's still hope. Hang in there!
 
So crazy 🙂 Wait a little while...it's not even December! Betcha' you'll be on that other list in no time

Speakin' of December, Is it just me or does it seriously NOT feel like winter in south Texas...

Yep -- got the ceiling fan going and the window open to cool down the apartment since the complex has turned off the A/C already. 😱
 
I havent heard either acceptance nor rejection from any of my schools. but i think those schools that are accepting people today are definitly not the normal. I won't start really flipping out until the 1st or until i hear someone got accepted to my schools... at which time i will not be able to eat, sleep or study until i get mine! 🙂

Does it ever feel like December in south Texas?

Last year it did for about a total of 2 weeks (nonconsecutively). 😀 Only a breath of snow, and I think one or two icy days. I kinda miss the snow.
 
I'm in the Houston area, and last year felt like winter... but today I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt...so what does that say 😳p
 
Dallas area is feeling great, currently 52 degrees. Hanging Christmas lights today and tomorrow, perfect weather for that. Somehow it just isn't right to hang lights in warm weather.
 
well i haven't heard a damn thing..not even about interviews..i have 1 rejection from MCG but that's it..im getting seriously bummed..i suppose i still have time it just sucks seeing people already getting accepted and i haven't even had an interview yet! i applied in aug so i don't think it was too late..it's probably my gpa that's holding me back..oh well i'll just keep waiting like i have been
 
Im so pissed that I have not heard from UIC. Im even a illinois resident! I know my grades are good and my DAT scores are not bad. The private schools I nterviewed at LOVED me, and said I had amazing stats. FOr some reason, UIC is being a little bitch.
 
Would like some cheese with that whine

its not even december 1st yet, give it a little time would yah before calling someone a biatch.

Winter in Houston, didn't you know that Houston is the armpit of satan, and its always hot there. jk :laugh:

It beats 4 degree weather anytime. I think I would rather be hot as hell than freezing my a$$ off.
 
i thought he meant that he hasen't even gotten an interview there... i would hope nobody is complaining about acceptances yet... like i said those 2 schools are really quite a bit earlier than they are suppose to be. man we got 6 inches of snow here in MI, i wish we had 52 degree weather this time of year 😡
 
I am setting myself up for disappointment because I am really hoping to get a letter in the first two weeks of December and the reality is that I may not hear anything at all. Hell, I didnt hear anything last year until August of this year telling me that I had finally been rejected... Aaah! I hate feeling like a spaz...

Yes, it's bit early to complain about acceptances. still few more days till OFFICIAL Dec 1. It seems some schools are STRUGGLING to get students' deposits.
 
those ppl on that other thread shouldn't have opened those envelopes until dec 1st.

Actually, I am trying to "still" mind into not to panicking if I don't hear anything in the first week..... especially this being time number 2 for me.... I am really, really, really, Anxious. I lost all my patience last year.

All I have is "raw" nerves now. 🙁

But I am still hanging in there, somehow.
 
So...calling the school that you really want to get into school a little ...bleepity-bleep-bleep...

Positive correlation....umm... how?

I am with you guys...very anxious. It's 5:45 am right now. I just woke up suddenly. I guess i am very stressed.
 
This is my second time around, too. I feel like I have been waiting for 12/1 for 18 months now, so I'm running on fumes. My heart can't take much more I don't think...

umm, maybe you should cut down on the expresso... 😀

i'm in the same boat myself, but have resorted to chocolate instead. can't beat those simulated endorphins! 👍
 
Well I have been away from this site all weekend and I cannot believe people are getting acceptances already! I must say it freaked me out a little. I really hope I hear something this week but I know it could be longer.

Yea me too, I am surprised people have got acceptances before Dec 1, but anyways congrats to all those who have, you deserve it.

Boy do I resemble that statement! Hang tight dude! Someone is bound to let us in...... right???? :idea:
 
Do you guys think I should i be worried if I havent heard anything from schools since my application was complete? Not a rejection or interview invite or anything. I called all the schools a month ago and everything was complete. I want to call again but is it bad timing to call now and ask the status of my application? I am not asking if I was accepted or not since I dont expect to be accepted without an interview. My app was complete by Oct 15th..i have yet to hear from NYU,Meharry,UOP,UCLA,Howard,Harvard,UTenn,Columbia,UDMercy,UNC, and UMaryland....and now I regret applying to Nova (i guess its too late now huh?) because they seem quick and i wouldnt have minded living in florida...anyway, good luck to everyone and congrats to those who got accepted. 👍
 
hey dark sunshine, what is an RC? I know that your are a dental hygienist but so is my mother and her title is RDH.

Hey Dentist 2 be:

I am a RDH, and a RC (Registered Cosmetologist). I went to school to be one at 16 1/2, and graduated at 17 almost 18. I have kept my license to practice because I earned it. But the last time I worked as one was when I was going to dental hygiene school.
 
oh that's really cool. My grandmother was a cosmetologist in Russia =). You're a parallel of my whole family. A dentist (well, i'm sure you will be quite soon) like my dad, an RDH like my mom and an RC like my grandmother. =)

Wow I am really surprised you have not heard anything. Your GPA is really high and the DAT is bad either. Will you have your degree when you matriculate? That could be one reason. I would call after or on December 1st. I get the impression that most schools by then have a pretty good idea who's getting in and who they are rejecting.

because i like florida and they seem quick in getting acceptances out..i was going to apply there... i dont know why i didnt. i should have

oh ok you meant you regret NOT applying. sorry, i was confused by your statement because it said you regret applying there. that's pretty crazy that you haven't heard anything. i wonder if there was a problem on AADSAS's end. you should probably look into it because it's been over a month since the app has been complete and there is no good reason not to have interview invites yet (at least one). good luck with that.

i agree. have you called up and confirmed with the schools that they have everything? two of the schools i applied to still don't have my transcripts, though they got my app over a month ago and AADSAS swears they sent it to them... three times, after repeated nagging. i finally gave in and sent it directly from my college, but as of yet, they still have not recieved it. ARGH! and if it hadn't called up and asked, i would have blithely assumed they got my transcript along with my app, the way they were supposed to... so call. definately call. and if you call AADSAS, you might want to use the 202 number, which they pick up half the time. they never pick up the 800 number at all. sigh.
 
haven't heard squat from USC and UCLA... What is up with SoCal schools? I didn't think USC was too hard to get into/get an interview??? Just needed to vent, guess NorCal really is superior...
 
nothing from NOVA. no interview. my app. was complete on Sept 27. better make a phone call tomorrow...
 
man this sucks, I thought waiting for an interview was painfull, but waiting for dec 1st is a little more painfull. I hope todays brings some good news.

I called all the schools and they said that my application was complete but I didnt hear anything since.. should i call tomorrow and ask the status of my application or will they be annoyed since tomorow is dec 1st and they are already going to be hounded by calls.
 
ranark i would set aside the next week or so for those that have interviewed. Im sure you will hear something soon...
 
ranark im in the same position as you..i haven't been asked for one interview yet, granted my stats are nowhere near as good as yours but still it makes no sense..i'm going to start a new thread to see if anyone else is in this position as well
 
Mitch-SEr, I would just hang in there, I know it's tough, but you will get in somewhere this year, I would be shocked if you did not
 
Anybody still in the same [size=-5](feels-like-it's-sinking)[/size] boat with me?

I'm paddling as hard as I can... but I'm right along side you...
 
well, 12/1 leaves me still a member of the havent heard a word club as far as acceptances 🙁 but i think most of the people that found out today found out not by letter, but by calling the schools, which i did not, so i will keep waiting on the mail 🙂

Well, just as long as the paddle doesn't fall into the water and the river doesn't divert and turn into a creek with a 4-letter name...







This is one of the longest days of my life. 🙁

*comfort* Trypmo.

I have great sympathy for all who have heard nothing. I have felt like that for dang near 2 years. (2nd cycle for me) So please don't give up hope, because, you WILL make it if you want it bad enough.

:luck: for you!
 
Was wondering how you find your AADSAS # ? Do they send you something? or is it on the webpage where you sent off the app?

I lost the paddle and the river is officially "muddy". Rejection letter from NOVA. First news of any kind for me. @#$%&*!!!

Darksunshine: This is my second cycle as well. It's been a long 18 months, huh? Congratulations to you and to everyone else. You deserve it!
