Do we do the certiphi background check once total or once for each school?

Also man - wish I was getting some February decisions, I'm still waiting on 6 schools and all of them said I would know in March 🙁

Blah sorry you have to wait. It sucks.
 
I was fortunate enough to have 5 interviews. So far, I've heard back from one school (WL) and nothing from the others. One of the schools is set to release a big batch of decisions on Friday, and honestly, I'm not telling anyone I know that I should hear something back on Friday because I don't want to have to repeat the bad news over and over if I get rejected or waitlisted 😛

Yeah good idea. I told everyone when I would be hearing back from one of my schools, and not only were they late in responding but I also got WLed when I finally did find out, so I had to tell everyone over and over that I hadn’t heard and then the bad news when I did. Would have been much nicer if I hadn’t told anyone.

I'm just very vague with everyone except my family. I just "i probably won't know where I'm going until March"

Yeah I made the same mistake with one other school and then again with Quillen. It it worked out with Quillen because I got accepted lol. Thank God.

Haha I'm not even telling my family. I love them to death but they don't help with the stress at all.

My dad's favorite phrase to bring up whenever anything about med school is discussed is "all you need is one acceptance", which, while true, just makes me more stressed out that I have yet to receive an acceptance 😛

I know what you mean haha. My dad loves to ask if I've heard anything new constantly despite me telling him exactly when Id hear back 😕

I’m super jelly of the people who actually heard back during rolling admissions. Schools waiting to make decisions until March is actually torture

At least you know when it’s coming. One school gave me no timeline. Every time I get an email I’m hoping it from them.

Any more good news from 2023 folks? It's been awfully quiet in here recently!

I received two acceptances and one waitlist this past week! I feel so lucky :happy: I haven't settled on where I'm going yet- I haven't heard back from one of my schools, and financial aid information will factor into my decision as well.

For those of you still waiting to hear back, hang in there! That acceptance will be worth the wait 😉

Got my first A a few days ago! It still doesn't feel real yet, but it's such a huge weight off my shoulders as a third time reapplicant!

That's fantastic! Congrats on your acceptance and way to go sticking it out through 3 cycles! I'm glad it paid off in the end!
 
I'm so excited and nervous for this upcoming month. Supposed to get 5 (potentially 6) decisions back this month. It's been pretty easy not worrying about it but with this cold school has been closed and February starts tomorrow so now I'm starting to think about it again. The semester has been a blessing in disguise keeping me busy haha.
 
Lol, didn't realize that there was a Class of 2023 thread! This is pretty neat.

Random question: It is not "bad form" to submit FAFSA to schools where you haven't been accepted, right? I was thinking of filling out the FAFSA for the school where I have already been accepted but was wondering if it was also acceptable for me to send it to the schools where I have upcoming interviews for (part me being lazy, part me trying to be proactive on the off-chance I get an additional acceptance(s) from those remaining schools).

I added all the schools where I had interviews, so I don't think it's bad form at all! One of my schools even told us on interview day to just add them to our FAFSA school list, even if we hadn't gotten a decision from them yet.

Like scribbles&rambles mentioned it is fine. I added a bunch of schools I haven't heard back from yet. They even said on interview day at a lot of them that it will help get financial aid packages quicker that way if we get an acceptance.

Yea, thats what I thought too. Especially at this stage of the game, if I get into additional schools I'd like their financial aid packages as soon as possible.

A little jealous of everyone who already knows where they're going. I want to plan my first vacation ill have in years for this summer but it's hard without knowing exactly where I'm going to attend.

Same. I still have interviews left. I turned down the ones I wouldn’t choose over my current acceptance though.

I want to start looking for apartments and planning my move. Vacay sounds nice too though.

Same. I hope to take off work to move in as early as mid-May but, if I don't hear back, I'm just going to continue to work until mid-June at the latest. It's definitely a bummer.

Hopefully we can figure out where we're going by early march and take some time off afterwards! I really want to visit my family overseas for aafew weeks since I havent seen them in what feels like forever.

Maybe not. My friends in Med school seem to be out of the country on vacay on every break they have. Not sure how they afford it.
