If you don't hear by Dec 2nd, I would call the schools. But before that I wouldn't bother. Some schools may have pushed your application back for further review with applicants that apply later in the cycle. Others may have rejected you but just not letting you know.
 
OUCH, so many rejections!! I just pray I see 1 acceptance december 2 before all rejections....wow, this cycle is really random, even high stats having hard time getting interviews....=(

What are your stats out of curiosity?
Click to expand...
I've posted exact numbers in some of my earlier posts, but suffice it to say - my overall gpa is crap, but my bcp and dat are good. I'll be more specific when the cycle is all finished up if people are interested in my story, but I think the strongest part of my application is all my non-academic involvement.

Since I am an Idaho resident, and Creighton holds 8 spots for ID residents, I did a regional interview in ID, so it would probably be a different experience. The interviewer asked some very in-depth questions about information in my application. He emphasized that Creighton has some of the best and most in-depth clinical experiences mostly due to the fact that they have no residency programs taking away the more difficult cases.

Unfortunately, UMich didn't think that I was worthy of pre-December interview. On a positive side, I am going to rely on you to let me know if it's worth a trip😉 I think we walked away with a very similar opinion about the last one.
