I get nervous coming on SDN, wondering everytime if everyone else got a call and I didn't 🙄
Nas23 said:
I know, I agree, SDNers ROCK! and you guys are great, I wish for all of us that we could get some PSU WL movement, it's frustrating that there hasn't been any at all... but when there is some, I hoping it's you, me, C.P. Jones, Apparition, etf, heimerfink and everyone else on SDN waiting for some love 😉
I got the call!
You guys are talking about that telemarketer with the awesome credit card offer, right? 😛
Idk about this week since it's such a short/weird week, but next week will be it! PSU PSU PSU

strawberryfield said:what gives? 😕 here's the Nittany Lion mascot asking the same question...
now, lemme find which one I'll use when I get the call... lol
Strawberry, I have to say I love your enthusiasm for Penn State! I am REAAALLY pulling for you! in
sorry everyone. there's so much anxiety about waiting for this call...and waiting for someone to post about it that someone had to take advantage of that

Hey now, the Nittany Lion is one of the all time GREAT college mascots....HAIL TO THE LION!
ironmanf14 said:
👍 😍
Nas23 said:
sounds like they gave out too many acceptances and now have no use for the waitlist... wow, isn't that just great 🙁 thanks for being brave Nas-- good luck w/ your other waitlists
Guess I better start packing for Missouri now... damn... I really wanted to be a Nittany Lion too! 😳
This seems to be a trend this year with the waitlists. It looks like schools overaccepted.
Apparition said:
Well that figures. 🙄 But why did they have to do that this year?? OUR year. ok, I'll stop whining now, but this just sucks 👎
strawberryfield said:
Who knows though maybe in mid-July some top schools will start taking people off (not sure if any of them have yet to start moving) and there will be some massive waitlist movement.
that overacceptance thing sounds about right - these kinda things always happen to me, sigh...
etf said:
I know, me too 👎
to allwe should convince them to only take ppl from the waitlist who are on SDN, what there's about 10 of us or so, right? that's pretty minimal for WL movement 😉
I guess I feel better that if I'm not getting in, at least no one else is either 🙄 lol... that's awful, huh...

How did your interviews go at Penn State? It was my first med school interview and I was REALLY nervous. I stumbled a lot in my answers and had a feeling I wouldn't be getting accepted.
Apparition said:
mine went REALLY well, but I didn't interview until mid-March--aka 2 weeks before they stopped interviewing (stupid August MCAT, that was TOTALLY MY FAULT though, so...), they were very conversational and very laid back, I was not nervous at all, I talked to my interviewers about my family and childhood times I spent in Hershey, there really weren't any awkward moments. I dunno, it just sucks b/c I totally loved it there and really felt like I would be a good fit for the school... I have said all of this in LOIs to them, but it doesn't look like they will matter much if there's not going to be any WL movement at all... on the other hand, I applied to PSU as a "dream school" so I was super-happy to even be interviewed, but still. I'm just depressed about this whole situation and can't seem to get over it and move on... 🙁 (I'm sure you guys can tell-lol

My interviewers were kind of relaxed too, which made it worse. Imagine
Interviewer: So what do you do in your free time?
Me: 😱
Apparition said:
ah, probably better than: "free time?? what's that??? I'm on the pre-med 'eat, sleep, study schedule!' "
I'm sure they understood you were just nervous. They liked you enough to waitlist you... (meaning this as a compliment since I'm waitlisted too mind you 😉 )
PSU was mys first interview as well, so I was extremely nervous. At 9 am, at my first interview there, the first question I was asked by my interviewer was: "Do you have any questions? "
Me: "Hmm..."
Her: "Is this your first interview?"
Me, blushing: "Yes"
Of course I was waitlisted 😳 🙁
Me: "Hmm..."
Her: "Is this your first interview?"
Me, blushing: "Yes"
Of course I was waitlisted 😳 🙁

Thank you for your email. There have not been any applicants taken off of the hold list yet. There is no anticipated date or time frame - before Orientation starts - for doing so. Please let us know what else we can do to help, and thank you for your interest in Penn State College of Medicine.
Sincerely,

what else can they do to help?? well that should be quite obvious! why do they have to be so darn nice. 🙁
hey, so does "before orientation starts" mean they won't take anyone off after that??... is that how everyone else is reading this?? 😕 if that's the case then our 'D-day' is August 7...one month folks, alright

i had the craziest jerk interviewer ever. i felt lucky to be WLed. after everyone was saying how all the interviews were stress free, this guy made me feel like I was in an interrogation. maybe i'll get another interview next year and won't get that guy again 😡 , and if i do i may have to just leave....well, maybe not since i already know what he's going to do

I heard schools don't give you the same interviewer second time around.

Love bump in honor of the Italian VICTORY!!!!!!
😀Hey guys,
I was just checking out this thread. It does seem like no schools have been having movement But i just got off a waitlist so there is still hope.
This surprises me about psu because I know I gave up my spot along with other people I have talked to.
as of having a jerky interviewer at psu as i see in the last thread. mine was kind of jerky too.
best of luck.
i just got off a wait list today that had no movement. i called this morning no spots and then i got a phone call at 4:30 saying they had a spot so there is still hope.
