Class of 2022, just dropping in to congratulate y’all that are already accepted. Good luck to everybody still waiting for acceptances to start rolling in!
I can finally join this thread! Accepted today!
I think those of us who don't have an acceptance yet are probably feeling too anxious to post right now!You know, you don't have to be accepted to post in this thread haha, but congratulations to those that have been!

Still just waiting very (im)patiently for schools to get back to me.Any updates today?
Still just waiting very (im)patiently for schools to get back to me.
In theory there are two schools I should be hearing from this week or next week, but I'm not holding my breath!
Have you heard anything back yet? (On my mobile right now so I can't check your signature lol)
oof i feel like i just said something really douchey at this preinterview thing I was at. Got asked by a student if I was nervous and without thinking I said I'm more just sick of talking about myself at this point which thinking back about it sounds like a very douchey thing to say. I then went on to say I kinda just applied to this school randomly and didn't know much about it kinda making it sound like I didn't care too much about it (which isn't true nor what I intended). Literally didn't know anything about most of the schools I applied to except for location and stats lol.
I just feel bad because I feel like I was acting similar to the arrogant type of person I don't like making me feel like a total hypocrite. I'm pretty sure it was just because I was exhausted from the traveling so I hope I didn't come off as an dingus to the other interviewee and the med students sitting with me
This process is really getting to me more than I thought it would
Oh man. At least it happened at the pre-interview thing instead of the actual interview. Not sure how it works at that school, but at the one I went to, none of the people involved have anything to do with admissions. Just try to get a good night sleep so you can be fresh and yourself lol.

Yah it is an exhausting process. As soon as I hear back from one school I’m definitely going to cut down because I’m also pretty exhausted. A lot of the same questions. Rehashing a lot of the same stories / answers, but every time it has to sound like it’s fresh. And then some interviewers are stone-faced and super hard to read. Those have been the worst interviews. If I don’t get any feedback I don’t know where to go lol.
Enjoy it! I’m almost there. One more and I get a nice break to be with my family who I haven’t seen in a while.I definitely agree with these sentiments, I'm really just sick and tired of talking about myself - something I don't like to do in the first place. But (luckily or unluckily) I've had 5 weeks without a single II so I finally get a break from traveling and I'm really excited for it
I got accepted last week to my top choice! I was very fortunate; they told us a specific date (post-15th) we would hear back and were very transparent about their admissions process.Any updates today?
Dude, that sucks. Luckily, if they said that, they meant it. It's likely something during the cycle (new rules, something with applicants, weather, etc.) just delayed what they promised you. Hopefully their communication improves and they can tell you why it's taking so long.I emailed them to make sure they got my email with my thank you notes and to ask if they accept updates and nothing. Ghosted.

I don't know how you delayed the AACOMAS app for so long. I couldn't hold out and ended up doing mine back in late August because I got a little anxious, haha.

I have been slowly releasing the news, though, since I'm still kind of taking it in. At first, only my fiance knew. She told her family almost immediately, though. My family still doesn't know but they will soon. I'm almost beginning to wonder if I should just surprise them with the news at Thanksgiving since that is not too far away.
Guys, interviewing is tough. I felt the same way you all did. This week is the first one in 2 months where I don't have to attend an interview (my other week off was one where I was sick). The best advice I can give is to relax as much as you can prior to interviewing. The one where I felt the most relaxed/refreshed was one where I spent the 2 days prior staying with family OOS close to the interview. I just watched football all day then went out to a shopping area/a town area with them the next day. For the interview I had after that, I felt so good and on top of things. I work full time so I usually come back the day of my interview and begin working the next day which, in hindsight, I can tell you that it takes a toll you don't necessarily notice. Hang in there!

I'm sure you'll hear wonderful news very soon. I'm definitely rooting for you!Nope. Got totally ghosted from one school that said they would almost definitely call the week of the 15th, and still waiting patiently on the other. I’m coming up on 4 weeks for USUHS, so I should be hearing something soon God willing.
I'm sure you'll hear wonderful news very soon. I'm definitely rooting for you!
Well then they don't deserve you!Just found out I either got waitlisted or rejected from Cooper.
Well then they don't deserve you!
Seriously though, I know it's super disappointing and disheartening news. I'm really sorry. Make sure you take some time to yourself to do whatever you need to do to process.
@Matthew9Thirtyfive I'm rooting for you at USUHS, dude. This cycle process is long and protracted and often sucks.
Congrats to everyone who has gotten in (and to those that soon will get in).
Big congrats!First acceptance today after two application cycles!
Thanks !Big congrats!

Congrats!After 2 DO acceptances, I received an MD acceptance today to my top choice school! I am SHOCKED and THRILLED. Everyone here told me I couldn’t get in bc I was graduating in 3 years, and I am ECSTATIC that they were wrong. Thank you everyone for your endless help and support on here!

I’m not really on the verge of tears, but it did make me laugh lol. Just here. Still waiting.
You’re not! I’m praying we both hear soon.
I'm sorry that you're in this predicament, but I am glad I'm not the only one!
Some of us don’t even have secondaries yet...just sayin’
I’ve never been one to do anything the “right” way, the “easy” way, or the “traditional” way. This will be no different, and like all those other things, I will succeed in my own way.Username checks out.

Congrats on the qualification!You’re not! I’m praying we both hear soon.
On a positive note, I did get medically qualified to commission today. That’s a nice hurdle to be over.
