**Official Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread 2013-2014**

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
FINALLY got an interview with Houston for the 17th of December. any advice specific to Houston? I've read all the info about the interview on this page but was wondering if there was anything I might be missing... I was mainly worried about my DAT so if I got an interview does that mean they think my numbers are fine and I just need to do well in the interview(assuming all my community service and other parts of the application are fine) and I should have a decent shot at getting in?
 
NYU Wait list
Interviewed on Dec. 2nd.

I think wait list = rejection (if interviewed) at NYU.

This is a sad day for me.

Lots of people are withdrawing their acceptance, including me. Always keep your hopes up

Where'd you get this notion?

I 2nd free99, you do know people have officially been rejected right? And a wait list at NYU this early is GREAT news, their alternate list has a lot of movement. Take a look around, so many people are turning down their offers at NYU.

I have to disagree. If it were a rejection, they'd reject you! 😛 You still have a very good chance because a lot of people decline NYU due to cost! :luck:
 
Buffalo emailed me yesterday saying that my application is under "continuing review" and I'm not chosen for an interview at this time. But they'll let me know immediately of a status change.

Not sure if this basically means I'm rejected..
 
Hmm.. im not hearing anything from nyu, mich, mwu_az, lecom, tuft, case, houston, san antonio... no interview, no rejection. Should I consider this as rejection?
 
Case interview invite, extremely tempted to go but you know what they say " A bird in the hand is worth Case Western Reserve University in the bush"

Yea, same here. Waiting for something from NYU, Boston, MWU-AZ, and SIU. (Not that it matters for me anymore.. pretty set on where I want to go now)

Turn it down so I can get a chance. Thanks. 👍
 
does anyone know if you get an interview and you are out of the country whats gonna happen? Im an international student, that I will require visa to enter U.S. any chance it will be an online interview?
 
I am almost certain that you have to come here.

Interview Invite from NYUCD this morning!!
 
Rejected from UConn. Starting to get very nervous about this cycle.
 
First Rejection haha
A.T. Still (ASDOH) by USPS

I think this will be my last update for the cycle. Its been a crazy ride. Applied to 6 schools, 4 pre-december interviews, and 4 acceptances.

Currently on "continued review" at Howard, and will be withdrawing my application for consideration.

Good luck to everyone still active in the application/interviewing process!
 
Case rejection email after putting my app on hold for later review months ago.
 
Tufts interview invite (#8). Application submitted 7/05.

I'll be turning this down though since I'm about 99% set on UCLA. Hope the interview goes to someone who really loves Tufts !
 
3rd Interview Invite: University of Florida
Notified 12/10 via email :luck::xf:
 
second invite, UDM, today by email, 21aa, 3.3 gpa, i was not expecting this and im sooooo pumped, im guessing as others decline interviews/acceptances slowly others will get more invites,

geez. tough break. maybe a dip in the warm waters of the pacific will ease the pain of this loss.
 
Just got an interview invite from Pitt. Too bad they are too late! Will be turning it down.
 
#2!

University of Michigan

3.48 cgpa/sgpa
19 AA/19TS/21PAT

Finally nice to hear back from my own state.
 
For those who are still waiting and didn't snag a coveted Dec 2 spot, keep the faith! I recall a thread that (unofficially) reported somewhere around 20-30% of classes consist of post-Dec 1 interviewees. I've gotten three invites this week after hearing nothing for months.

Anyway, my status update (I'm a 30+ non-traditional applicant) --

AADSAS mail-out date: 09/09/13
GPA (science, overall, post-bac): 3.2, 2.9, 3.9
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 23/22/21/25/none

I was advised to apply to as many schools as I could. The rejections are many and most schools I haven't heard from yet. My mail-out was also a bit late. Combining that with my 2.5 undergrad GPA probably eliminated me from contention in the first wave. But I'm hoping that my non-traditional path plus my record since then will catch the eye of committees during the second pass. I only got one pre-Dec interview and I'm still holding out hope for my CA schools, though I really liked NYU (in spite of the cost).

Accepted:
-None

Waitlisted:
-Rutgers

December Interview:
-NYU

January Interviews:
-UNLV
-Detroit Mercy

Feburary Interview:
-LECOM

Rejections (some were complete long shots):
-Connecticut
-Loma Linda
-Marquette
-Midwestern - IL
-Nova
-Oklahoma
-Utah

Other:
Too many to list. I'll update as they happen.

Second interview: UDM.

I honestly didn't think UDM was gonna invite me for an interview. I hope they are not interviewing for the alternate list 🙁. Fingers crossed.
