Members do not see this ad.

I have a question for everyone, what is the date of action for your sites? Just curious.

march 13 for 1 and march 14 for the other 2

 

[L'enfantdeDieu]

4.0 from Harvard, not accepted to Columbia, ucla, uf (freshman)

i really hope the high gpa can't get in thing is a myth.

 

[Dr.NigerianQueen]

So who is apart of the waitlist and wants to have another party for 12 am on the 20th? lol

I have a question for everyone, what is the date of action for your sites? Just curious.

For LSU it's today and for UW it was 3/13, it makes no sense but okayyy

 

[Girlington1234]

it still says in review.... did anyone see the word "waitlisted" or did it only say in review?

 

[PhilzCoffeeAddict]

Ahhh the energy of being young… as your self appointed guardian/parent on sdn. Go to bed. Y'all need to chill haha.

 

[nursenav]

Uhhh seriously confused.. does in review mean rejected? 🙁 what is going on

 

[Stoppingtheworld]

It’s a myth. “Hello ****! High performing applicants are not less likely to be accepted. We simply want to encourage all students, including those who may have had a rough first semester of college, to apply to our program.”

i really hope the high gpa can't get in thing is a myth.

 

[ShawnMiller23]

If you're going to LSU, please like this message! I need to make friends now lol

 

[Anomalocaries]

Interesting, because it is the same two dates for me 3/13 for my first choice(?) (I did not prioritize them) and 3/14 for the consecutive sites.

 

[whosehousedawgshouse]

Columbia - not accepted (action date 3/14)
UCLA - not accepted (action date 3/14)
Iowa - waitlisted (action date 2/28)

I'm not too surprised since the National Program Office officially said I'm not eligible since I'm technically not a "freshman" or "sophomore" with my junior class standing. It's whatever LOL

 

[Stoppingtheworld]

I agree. The program is targeting students who are disadvantaged in some way. It won’t be easy to convince me that a Ivy League student has any disadvantages in terms of opportunities.

I did too, but I think they might have a distinction between schools who have "good" summer opportunities for people vs schools that do not have "good" summer opportunities. If you are over qualified or go to "Ivy League" they could assume you have all the help that you need here.

I have a question for everyone, what is the date of action for your sites? Just curious.

My dates are all over the place. University of Louisville is 01/22, Iowa 2/12 and UW is 3/13

 

[Girlington1234]

did anyone get into rutgers or houston yet?

 

[sunkissedmelanin]

Accepted to Rutgers, not accepted at Howard or Colombia! Pretty chill stats, 3.4 cum, but significant upward trend since freshman year, research experience, adequate extra curriculars, good personal statement, and I would assume a good reference.

 

[gfetafeta]

is rutgers the only site that has the “in review”

that and U Louisville and Howard are in review for me

 

[Girlington1234]

maybe it takes a while to notify everyone, im hoping thats the case!

 

[Anomalocaries]

I am probably looking for something that does not exist, not that the dates tell me anything anyway. Oh well, good luck to those who got in and those that did not.

 

[nursepractinthemaking]

is rutgers the only site that has the “in review”

Rutgers, UCLA, and Nebraska

 

[L'enfantdeDieu]

I will continue praying for anyone who is in review or waitlisted!

 

[perhapss]

is rutgers the only site that has the “in review”

UT Houston is "in review" for me, but others have gotten accepted so I guess it's just me

 

[leobio123]

Anybody else here that confirmed for Louisville?

 

[Dr.NigerianQueen]

Confused about "in review". Aren't ALL decision (except waitlist) supposed to be made? They said themselves on Twitter that decisions will be given out at 12 am est.

 

[Anomalocaries]

My first thought with the "in review" status is that their system glitched with all the people rushing to get their results. Though no idea.

 

[amm06351]

not accepted to UCLA or UW but waitlisted for Howard! Pre Dental btw
action dates :
UCLA 3/14
UW 3/13
Howard 1/31

[Anomalocaries]

Well, good night everyone! Good luck to those who's statuses still exist in limbo, hopefully, you will be accepted!

[Girlington1234]

[Stoppingtheworld]

[SassyJunebug]

OK I'm going to prepare for a tutoring session I have with my students tomorrow so I'll probably check the website again in the morning.
Congrats to those who got accepted again!

your stats are basically mine.... also @nursenav it just means they haven't decided yet.

 

[cvalrie78]

Me!!

ayeee it's lit

 

[SassyJunebug]

your stats are basically mine.... also @nursenav it just means they haven't decided yet.

Maybe I should have applied earlier but I kinda couldn't have because the SHPEP office messed up my transcripts and they said they had them, then they didn't, and they didn't communicate what was going on to me until the last day so whatever. I'm just mad because they made me overnight my transfers a second time which cost 60 dollars but they ended up having my original transcripts anyway so I spent 60 dollars to not to get accepted to any sites LOL life's ironic.
