I live in Chicago, our beaches are pathetic for the most part.

Turn that frown upside down, you need to go the beach! Ok, fine, go to In N' Out...
 
Congrats nomemory!

So whats the deal now, the people who didn't get the waitlist email, what are we to think?

as long as you don't get the rejection letter, you are still in the running...so don't give up now.
 
Yes as time seems to pass by things just appear to seem more and more grimmer..oh well.. on a positive note congrats nomem!!...

At this point I think I just want to hear from them... any update would be apprecitaed! ( reject/wl anything..)..
 
I haven't gotten anything either... I want to be just a little bit sick.

I called for a status report earlier, if for nothing but to alleviate my anxiety, and the woman told me the same thing, that no action has been taken on my file and if there is, I will be contacted by mail. I asked if that was basically the same thing as a waitlist, and she said that it wasn't - just that I was placed in a pool.

Please just do something with me! I require closure! I feel guilty about taking any jobs or committing to anything because I don't know what I'm going to be doing in three months.

I got the same thing. Mother ******. Why don't they just make a decision?
 
So what does this all mean? They made their waitlist and, with the rest of the people, just put them into a pile? If they make it through the entire waitlist, they will randomly choose one of us?

This SUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKSSSS.

how many more people do u think they will pull off their non-ranked waitlist?

Who knows. It sounds like, from the past, there's lots of movement on it, but it's all very different this year. Way more applicants. I'm willing to bet that they won't get through the list this year.
 
How many people do they even put on a 'non-ranked' waitlist. How can a waitlist even be non-ranked? Do they throw darts at a board? Ask their newborn to randomly point at a name? Make some sense RFU. Jeez.
Well little by little I am losing quite a bit of interest in RFU. Taking this kind of treatment from a school really reflects poorly on them. I anticipate writing a letter to the dean about their poor policies and inadequate staff. Once they tell me something about my file obviously.
I truly honestly wish you guys the absolute best of luck. Even though I'm sick and tired of this and thought that I'd just leave this thread now; I don't think I will.
 
they stole you from us! RFU stole you from MSU =)

I think I'd choose RFU anyday over the cost of MSU out of state. CONGRATS!

I didn't feel as exalted this year tho...maybe I have to be a reapplicant to feel that for my first acceptance.

How many applicants are there this year, compared to last?

Seems to be a general consensus, at least from the rejection letters I've received, that there is a 20% increase in applicants. Now, who knows if there's just MORE people applying, or just that people are applying to more schools. I don't know. But the fact remains, there's more applicants.

I'm sick and tired of this. What kind of bull**** are they trying to pull with not even putting me on a waitlist? Can't they make ANY decision? What would you guys suggest? Meet with someone over there? This is absolutely ridiculous.
 
Why the hell would they even bother interviewing me if they were just going to put me in a pile and not make a decision?
 
They told me that they would email me this afternoon with a status update 🙁

I hear you...all the rejection letters i have received always states there has been this many more applicants than last year and.....
also i don't know if i have been placed on a waitlist at RFU but i don't understand how they can just put people on a pile of no decision...AAMC should take actions again this type of thing....all the rules that AAMC has are all towards the schools there is nothing for the applicants....grrrrr
 
So, I just called RFU and the lady asked me for my AMCAS #. I have that number memorized and can tell you in my sleep...but i was blank. and then she asked me may name and she'll email me my status...as soon as I put the phone down, i remembered it again.

No, when I called they said that no decision has been made and that I have been placed into a pool. I asked, is that the same as a waitlist, and they told me no. WTF!
 
This blows! All of you have emails coming your way. I can't believe this! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

it could be that the person who you talked to knew what was going on and the person who we talked to didn't and she will find out and email us.

It could be......or there's a conspiracy against me......
 
I wonder what the difference is between the waitlist and just waiting...I called and the lady told me no decision had been made and I would receive a decision by mail...It seems to me that waiting and the waitlist are one in the same unless Im just waiting for a waitlist.

Also, did anyone notice how qualified the people are theyre accepting? Has anyone been accepted with less than a 33 on their MCAT? I mean how in the world does the average matriculant at RFU only have a 29 and a 3.4???? Law school here I come...

Did they say you would hear from them between now and matriculation? Did you ask if that was the same thing as a waitlist? I think the true difference between waiting and the waitlist is the priority. I believe the waitlist gets the priority over those that are waiting that are NOT on the waitlist.
 
For now on, let us all refer to the waitlist as the waitlist and for those that are waiting and not actually on the waitlist, the pseudowaitlist....or PWL for short.

Hey guys,

I called today and spoke to Lolita from the admissions office....

no action has been taken on my file, and I can hear from now until matriculation...

and then i asked...is there a waitlist? and she said no waitlist has been created yet, but when they make one, ill get something in the mail.

so apparently there is no "unranked waitlist" so to speak...were all in the same pile....until the next adcom meeting

hope that helps

Unfortunately there is a unranked waitlist bc that is what it exclusively says in the email. Look back one page on the thread. I copied and pasted the email. I just don't think she knows whats up, or most probably just doesn't really care to tell you. No offense to you whatsoever; the school just isn't very great at communicating w/ applicants.

I personally know someone who got in w/ a 28 in may.
Looking at it from RFU view, I'm sure they want to pad their stats and pull up the avg so they will look better and become more reputable.

my email yest didnt come until 3.30. So i wouldnt expect the email until well into the afternoon. or even tomorrow. many med schools, and rfu twice, emailed me the next day, in 2 days, or never, when they exclusively say today, or soon.

The email went like this: "As of today, there hasn’t been any action taken on your file in terms of an acceptance or rejection. Your file has been placed on a non-ranked waitlist. If you are accepted between now and orientation (August 8th), you will receive a phone call and an acceptance letter from the admissions office. Please let us know if you have any further questions."

For the other people, if you received an email from CMS, was it the same one or was it phrased differently?

I believe the rest of the people got the "No Action" email and not the the Unranked one. Once I get an email or something I will let you know.
