Does anyone know if the SHPEP National Office will be open after hours if results from UT aren’t posted? It would be courteous of them.

 

[pikako1998]

Anyone going to LSU!?

Me! I'm going for le dental

 

[viasusg1]

I'm new to this thread.
Columbia- not accepted
Rutgers- site full
UAB- waitlisted
Hoping for UAB. I'm from a small state school. 4.0, good rec letter and ECs. URM.
Anyone else waitlisted for UAB?

Same here for UF ! I don’t know what to do

same I got waitlisted for UAB

 

[pikako1998]

Have most people in past years opted out of SHPEP and as a result, were waitlisted students chosen?

Yea, it does happen! Don't lose hope, things will work out for you You seem like a nice person, I'm sure things will work out for you!

 

[Girlington1234]

Honestly UT is taking their sweet time with decisions, lol im gone

 

[Stoppingtheworld]

I’ve seen some people get into UT med already so idk.

 

[leobio123]

So many people got waitlisted to Iowa, is there anybody on this thread that was accepted? I was waitlisted also and a couple of my friends from school too

 

[pinkpuppers]

Applied to Columbia, UF, and UCLA.
Got into UCLA !!! (My top choice)
and denied to Columbia/UF
So excited. Can't wait to meet the other UCLA Pre-Med SHPEP peeps!

 

[Mmmhhhmmm]

same I got waitlisted for UAB

Do you think I should email them or just wait it out?

Thank you for your encouraging words. Ive really been down in the dumps.

 

[Girlington1234]

All my energy is drained from the craziness of this day, i hope i wont be disappointed, UT still says in review, hoping for the best!

Me too! UT is my last chance so hopefully it works out if not, that’s ok too

Same i feel ya, i think we have a chance tho!

It's okay, I've been there many times lol. Like I said, you never know what may happen! And no matter what, there's always another program and opportunity waiting for you! Things will work out as long as you keep pushing for your dreams, and you'll look back at moments like this and be glad you pushed through. Good luck!

 

[chopin1849]

Is there a chance that the site is full status can change haha

 

[pata1126]

Just checked and it UT still says “In review”. I’ll wait a bit and see what happens

 

[Stoppingtheworld]

A representative said they were trying to get it up by now but we may have to call back tomorrow.

[The Bright Texan]

Now that it's 5 PM, those you haven't heard back, did you hear anything yet?

 

[Girlington1234]

Still "in review" for UT, im officially over it... ugh

 

[Stoppingtheworld]

Still in review.... not fun.

[Girlington1234]

Were gonna make it!

 

[heygirlie1234]

I finally decided to make an account after lurking for the past month. I feel your pain guys. I was rejected from UF and LSU for premed, and I'm waiting on UT. It's kinda annoying and frustrating, but it's important to stay positive. I just hope we all make it.

 

[pata1126]

This painful wait better lead to something good.

[Yumiko]

Hey guys, what happens after you clicked confirmed for a site? Do they email you on what you should do afterward or??

 

[Girlington1234]

WHAT TYPPE OF SHOOT IS THIS

 

[Stoppingtheworld]

Way disappointed rn.

 

[Girlington1234]

IM LEGIT SOBBING RIGHT, NOW, ALL THIS FOR NOTHING

 

[pata1126]

WHAT TYPPE OF SHOOT IS THIS

I guess we made it? But the site got full before we could accept?

 

[perhapss]

Mine says site full as well LOL

 

[Girlington1234]

can i sue, just asking for a friend...

 

[deleted804295]

Could someone send a link for where to check if accepted or not?

 

[heygirlie1234]

Site is Full. Wow, this is not fair

 

[perhapss]

Hey guys, what happens after you clicked confirmed for a site? Do they email you on what you should do afterward or??

From what I know, they'll email you before the end of the month with the next steps

 

[leobio123]

go to apps.aamc.org/smdep

 

[heygirlie1234]

I wish that we could dispute this. I, like many others, stayed up last night constantly checking for an update... only to be disappointed.

 

[Girlington1234]

saddest part is i completed my add in december, but my professor didnt submit the recommendation till the 13th of february do it said my app was completed, then,that probably played apart in why it was reviewed so late

 

[Stoppingtheworld]

Well. My last lifeline is waitlist Columbia now. I doubt many people would give up a chance for Columbia but I’ll be back regardless if anything new happens. Good luck to everyone.

 

[pata1126]

I sent my review and transcripts in Decenmber and my application during the first week of February so I don’t understand why mine was so late. But also by credits I’m considered a Junior so maybe that’s why I didn’t get in the other places?

Totally! Rejection/waitlist is a sign that theres something bigger and better for us. Keeping the dream alive and pushing through downtimes will make us stronger. Good luck!

 

[victoryforMSU]

My application was complete (letter of rec, transcripts, app) on December 20th..didnt receive a decision until 6pm and it says site is full. Definitely not fair.
