So excited to finally be able to say this!! First interview inviteeee!! 🙂

School: Midwestern-IL
Notification date: 9/8/11
Method of notification: E-Mail
Residency: Illinois
AADSAS mail-out date: 7/29, but they didn't send out LORs until 8/5
Application complete date: 8/31/11

DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 19/19/18

I did get an e-mail saying Indiana isn't extending an interview invite. Is this basically an informal rejection, or is there still a chance I can get in without an interview?

Congrats on the Midwestern interview! For the Indiana email, unfortunately that is a rejection... but if you're really interested in going to Indiana try asking them why you were rejected. I've read a few things about people being invited for an interview when they contacted Indiana.

I remember calling them on the first of this month to see if they had received all of my application stuff, and they told me to check back at the end of the month as they hadn't really started going through anything yet.

So I don't expect to hear ANYTHING from Harvard for a while.

Just got an application received email today from Harvard, if anyone was wondering.

 

[gasatrian]

"application received" by harvard today by email.. Looks they starting to review 🙂

4th Interview Invite!

School: NYU
Notification date: 09/08

AADSAS mail-out date: 6/27
Application complete date: 7/20
GPA (science, overall): 3.3 & 3.2

Interviews are still avaiable for NYU from first week of october so it's not too much filled. Good luck everyone!

 

[gasatrian]

6/27 - sure its not a big factor for them tho.. considering they waited this long

 

[AlbinoPolarBear]

6/27 - sure its not a big factor for them tho.. considering they waited this long

Well i'm looking at the ADEA handbook for the 2010 entering class and ...

The range for DAT scores are 20-25, so I guess they make an informal cutoff at 20..

They have around 1000 applicants per year, and that probably gets rid of most of the applicants. Maybe they waited this long to see quality applicants who applied later in the cycle. They have a small class (35 people) to fill, so they probably want to fill it with uber students.

Ball should be rolling soon then.

 

[wthareuserious]

They accept very few (like <10 or even <5) non-SDA 🙂 You are one of the special <5. You must have beautiful stats and/or a CA resident 🙂

Im muslim and got an interview at loma linda lol 😀

haha it's okay I don't want to go to Indiana thattt badly. I suppose it's worth calling and asking though.. what harm could it do, right? My first choice is UIC so hopefully I hear something from them soon!!

 

[cottonschwab217]

Im muslim and got an interview at loma linda lol 😀

big congrats on the interview invite, however, you should really think about that school choice again if you are not a seventh day adventist. Nothing could be worse of 4 years at a school affiliated with a religion that you do not believe in.

rejection from Western Univ. (CA)

rejection from Western Univ. (CA)

I am really sorry to hear that. You will definately hear good news from other schools!

by the way, if you don't mind, could you tell me about your stats, mailing date, and residency?

was it via e-mail or phone?

Thank you

 

[meshdo]

has anyone heard ANYTHING from Harvard at all? Like even a confirmation that your application has been received/processed?

Just got an email from Harvard today saying they got my application. They said they'll start interviewing in late September.

 

[Darce101]

Sorry to hear man. What are your stats like?

Congrats to all with the many interview notifications.

I was hoping to hear from UOP but guess that's not happening. Also was rejected from UCSF even though my stats aren't terrible. This has been a weird cycle. I am so grateful and happy with the interviews I already have, but I swear if I followed the ADEA guide and the "which school to pick" thread, and other opinions on SDN, I don't know where I would stand right now in terms of interviews. I thought I would hear from Western U, Midwestern IL and AZ, and NYU about invites, but that is not the case.

Hey man, I'm in the same boat. It seems like UoP passed me up even though I feel like I've got a good application. It's cool though, I'm really glad I have the other interviews.

cotton,

I think you have a wrong idea about LLU. LLU is a SDA school but they dont force you to follow their religion. I think they accept about 40% non-SDA. Every student at LLU is very happy with the school. Plus, they are extremely nice.

🙂🙂🙂

no disrespect was meant towards LLU or SDAs with my previous statement. I was just pointing out that attending a religiously affiliated school may not be in your best interest if you follow a different religion. I do not mean that they are going to try and convert you or anything.

Looks like NYU has moved on to their second-round draft picks! Fingers crossed, and congrats to everyone getting interviews!

[veggieheadgeek]

How do you know?

It looks like the most recent crop of interviews are from early mailing dates. I could be wrong, but it seems like NYU went through everything they had, pulled out the "first-round draft picks," and now they're going through the pile again. But who knows.

My application was only complete (according to NYU) on 8/26. Presumably I'm in the second batch then? Has anyone after that date gotten an interview? I think the latest I've seen is 8/15.

well this makes logical sense lol its supposed to be rolling admissions. otherwise it doesnt make sense to apply early. The point of rolling admissions is to give everyone a fair shot. I dont think its fair when schools make early applicants wait and then give up their interviewees to someone who applied 2 months later (even if they have better stats.)

while I would want an interview based on stats, I also understand the value of rolling admissions because I believe that the "early bird catches the worm"

Applying early means your application gets reviewed early and you receive an early interview... it doesn't mean your app gets passed through the interview selection process 10 times...
