I received a rejection back in July from a school for not qualifying (GPA).

After my Academic Update, I got an email today inviting me to continue with their Secondary Application.

Anyone have any opinions on this?

They rejected you already. Seems like all they want is your dinero for the secondary.

Forgive me for being dense if I missed this in the thread, but which school was this?
 
@prsndwg: Im not sure what your trying to imply, but my AADSAS Academic Update was processed/posted last week, and when I called the school in question, they said they had reconsidered my application because of the Update.

@dental wahoo: For the sake of avoiding controversy, I have not mentioned the school specifically.

Either way, I am just a bit dumbfound that I am being reconsidered for this cycle even though I had already been sent a rejection letter. I guess no one else has been in this situation before, which I don't find surprising considering its such a peculiar case.

@DonutEater: The application fee $$ won't be a factor because I called and requested a fee waiver. (I have to send them appropriate documentation of course to get this, which I will)


In the end though, Im pretty excited and thankful for being reconsidered. Im not complaining, but was simply wondering if anyone else was dealing with something similar.

Congratulations to anyone else that heard good news today and best of luck to those that are still waiting.

Oh ****.. you have got to be kidding me. I am sorry
 
ooh i got a rejection letter in the mail when i checked on monday from ASDOH. so i got rejected from all the three out of state schools i applied to. :rolleyes:
 
got an interview for usc. I'm not complaining, but I was certain that I was going to be rejected from everything this year...

I've been working on my masters (4.0), volunteering (800hrs in clubs, tutoring, dental volunteering), and gathering new letters for the next app cycle. lol. If I get this, I would have wasted $5,000 on school and gas, not including living expenses and the fact that I quit my lab job to do a master's while researching for free. I sound like i'm complaining, but honestly, I'm so happy...I wanna cry. :scared::wtf:
 
:DYaaay! Congrats congrats! I hope you get in and the 5k will be well worth it:)

Good Luck:luck::xf:

Congrats! I received an invite yesterday but called to tell them that I will be withdrawing my application! Hope that is good news too lol.

On another note, I was accepted to Oklahoma this morning! I thought that I was a waitlisted goner!:D

Loma Linda interview Feb. 23rd. UPENN accepted me a while back but I never posted it here :)
 
Got accepted to Oklahoma today via email and aadsas. Interesting because initially they had rejected me on Dec. 1. Apparently they changed their mind.

Actually I had the same thing happen to me and it was right before the deadline and I quickly did the secondary application. I was originally rejected but reconsidered after my academic update (had a 3.87) last semester, assuming that helped.
 
@agentadoc:

interesting... good to know..

have you had any luck yet at this particular school?

No, nothing so far, just got a random email about the benefits of the school, but that's all as of now. We'll see what happens...
