*~*~*~* Official 2015-2016 Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread *~*~*~*

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I took it June 28th, had below average stats, and got one Dec. 1st acceptance. It's doable, but the earlier always the better.
If you are prepared and ready I would recommend taking it earlier. Always remember that the earlier the better

Thank you very much for your input. I just dont want to risk not preparing enough just to be one or two weeks earlier. I wouldnt dare wirte it any earlier than mid june. Prepared-wise. 🙂
 
Thank you for the tips about applying early. Would writing the DAT June 30th but having everything else submitted by early June make it early enough? or should I try to write it one or two weeks earlier?
I took it June 20-something, submitted AADSAS July 1 I think. 6 pre-dec interviews, 5 acceptances. You'll be fine. Still way early.

For schools we haven't heard anything from, is it okay to just email them and ask them for status updates at this point?

:/

Yes you can definitely e-mail them and ask, however I would suggest calling if you can. Last year I ended up doing both, but for the schools that I called it was much easier because I was able to speak with a person and get a clear/direct answer.

Which school are you picking?
 
I know, no one is really posting about MUSC. There is a feed for MUSC though, so you could look at that. Im a USC student and haven't heard anything. I'm hoping to hear soon!

Apparently mUSC doesn't send out acceptances until december. should start happening soon.

MUSC sends letters from the first to the fifth of December, then throughout Febuary. I really hope i get an acceptance. I really don't want to have to take a gap year haha. If you applied there; good luck!
 
Which one are you taking?
90% sure Washington. Im just waiting for both of their packets to come in and check everything out before I make my final decision. Im also waiting for the packet from colorado specifically cause I tried looking for their tuition online and it said it was unavailable because they're redoing their website. So unless the tuition difference is significant, i'll be going to UW.

Why do you ask? Did you get accepted to same schools?

So MUSC just takes a break from sending acceptances for nearly two months? Are they trying to give people anxiety?
 
Is it possible to get rejected after interview? Now I'm thinking schools don't send out rejections letters anymore for those who had their interview..they just put everyone on the wait list instead of sending out rejection letters. Any thoughts on this?

People do get rejected after interviews. As a mater of fact, if you read through this thread, you'll find some people who have (unfortunately).

Haha, no, no sorry I didn't clarify. That's just when they start and March is sort of around the time people will be getting wait listed or rejected. I'm not actually sure if people get accepted later in December. They will have interviews up through February too.
