***Official 2008-2009 MD/PhD Acceptance Thread***

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
At least.
It really depends on the school, and many programs only have their committee meet once per month or less.

Some schools tell you the next week though, if you got in. It really varies by school.
 
I can't remember off-hand, but I remember reading on one website that whichever school I was looking at would call you the next week if you got accepted, email you if you got waitlisted, or send you a snail mail if you got rejected hehe 😀.
 
So the first day is coming up pretty quickly...
I wonder if any potential MudPhuds will get acceptances tomorrow or later this week? Hoping for all of you!! (I'm pretty sure my decisions, good and bad, won't come until much later)
 
^^ Ya right....you have like 3 million invites. LOL!

I think My decision should arrive on 10/23 (NYU is meeting on that day). I would say I have 40% chance of acceptance, 40% hold and 20% rejection. I will post as soon as it become available. The rest of the schools...idk.

:luck: G O O D L U C K ! :luck:


edit: To contribute, I think Hopkins doesn't send out letters until January.. so that should be a long time. Also, A&M should let me know sometime this month (maybe), and I have no clue at all about Dartmouth. We shall see!

Oh, and Case MSTP is interviewing about 15 people this week! Pretty big interview..

CONGRATS!
:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:


Need to make it a big one for the first MD/PhD invite!

edit: also, how about we put the method for receiving acceptance in red next to the name of the school.
 
CONGRATULATIONS Rpplix

So now you can start withdrawing from other schools and poor people like myself can get some love. 😉
 
Thanks for the support everybody! I'm sure that many of you will be receiving good news tomorrow as well! Best of luck!
 
Congrats Rapplix!! It must be such a relief! You should go out and have some fun...at least as much fun as a future MD/PhDer can have!

...and i totally agree with CancerKiller007! 😀
 
Wow I expected this thread to be a bit more busy today. Did nobody get acceptances today?😕

Congrats pazan! I loved pitt when I visited!

Thanks! Pitt did an incredible job getting the interviewees excited about their school -- I loved the students, program, and researchers, and would definitely be happy there for the next 8 years. Congrats on UVA!... and good luck the rest of the cycle.

Congrats Freddy. I was under the impression that MSSM did not start interviews till mid-november. They need to show me some love, so I can post it here some day🙄

They had earlier interviews this year because they had a lot of applications. They typically start 11/15, apparently, but they have two earlier groups now.

Does UT Southwestern award acceptances from now? I thought they have an additional candidate review in february.
 
It's a 2nd look. You may be thinking of Baylor. They have a candidate review (I think in March).

OK I probably misunderstood what they're saying in the interview invite email, cause they mentioned that I should get notification whether I will be offered a second visit invite directly or shortly after the interview (which I assumed it means that this is not an acceptance). That's good though, cause you know whether you're accepted or not directly after the interview. (congrats btw).
 
Hehe yeah I think I know who you are too 😛. Funny how this process is isn't it?

Congrats on the UIC acceptance, calf. Hopefully, I don't have a letter in the mail from them.
