At least you are getting your vaccinations in, if RFU calls you, you can avoid that hassle! I wish I had applied to SGU now..

If you are serious about it I think they would still accept apps for Jan

Yeah, they are still accepting for Jan. But, If the difference is between Jan. 08 vs Aug. 08 right now, I would rather wait till Aug 08 and hopefully earn an acceptance at one of the osteopathic schools I am applying to :luck:
 
DrVN,

Apply to US allo/osteo schools for Aug. 08 and apply to SGU for Aug 08 as well.
 
I'll be a doctor after all. I got the call from SGU yesterday...I got accepted for the August semester and will be going there unless of course RFU acceptes me.

Sorry to interrupt everyone but I had to say it:
Congrats Guju!! As a reapplicant this year myself, I have been following this thread for a while, rooting for all of you guys, looking at the posts waiting for happy announcements like this. (There better be some more, you guys! 😉)

SGU is a great school, I have heard. A radiation oncologist at Dana Farber in Boston that went there years ago spent a long time talking to me about SGU last year when I was facing reapplication, and she just loved it, plus, she got a great residency here in Boston. I'm jealous in a way - I still hope to see that blue water in the carib some day....

Hopefully you WILL get in to RFU, but if not, no more applications for you!!!
Congratulations, big time! Hoping to read more great news posts from everyone still waiting! :luck:
 
DrVN,

Apply to US allo/osteo schools for Aug. 08 and apply to SGU for Aug 08 as well.

Thanks Guju. Yeah, I will be applying to SGU/Osteo and a few other back ups as well. 😳
 
If you get in to other medical school, and you are waitlisted for another schools, do you know if the waitlist school, can check your AMCAS and know where you are holding a place (basically figure out, where the other school is)??

Congrats Guju, thats great news. Enjoy that beach and warm weather!
 
anybody else get their dorm assignment?? im in 2511A...
 
Congrats Guju and pretenda on the acceptances!!

I'm hoping to get an acceptance by my bday next week but that's probably just wishful thinking. I do have 2 interviews with Northwestern's med school for research positions on Friday and another next week at WashU for research patient coordinator so maybe I'll have a job offer.
 
Hey guys,

I got into Indiana university so I have withdrawn my acceptance to RFU. I hope one of you gets the spot.
 
wow, congrats to everyone getting in to places.... I thought this thread was slowing down, but I was wrong. I'm getting ready for an SMP...
 
For RFUs secondary, it is the same essay as last year (as expected). This was probably the hardest essay to write of all secondaries? I am worried on how to change it up??? Does anyone have any input--completely new essay, revise a lil, same essay...
 
I'm just going to use my same one. Hey, it got me an interview the first time!
 
Yeah, I wrote mine so damn well there's no way to change it! 🙂

Hey, you have an entire year to dwell on what to write if you don't get in this year. What have you been up to?
 
Congrats to all who got in, and good :luck: to all who are waiting - I remember very clearly how intense that whole process was.

See you guys around in the fall! 🙂

Any ?s feel free to ask me.
 
if you are living at the woodlands complex and are in the for a roommate, please PM me asap!!

thanks!
 
Depressed Bump. I am sure if anyone heard anything they would have said something. Hope everyone had a nice Saturday night.
 
Ah NUTS! I have to include a new LOR with my application. Oh well, I'll have so send it in later rather than sooner.
 
Hello everyone,

I have never posted here, but have read the thread a few times. Just wanted to let the wait-listers know, I was pulled off the list 2 weeks ago and have finally decided not to attend CMS (I am going to CCOM/Midwestern, I actually want to be a DO). So, I hope this helps one of you out! The waiting is the hardest part (quoting Tom Petty probably reveals my age 🙂.

Best of luck to you all!!!!

Thank you elvision!!!!! 😍
 
For some reason, i thought I was going to get in today...I think that every monday though.
 
me too man. Does anyone know who this Maryann DeCaire is?
a friend of mine mentioned her.
Anyhow, no good news here. Best of luck to everyone, do you guys think there is still HOPE?! This is so sad.
 
I still have not lost hope, but it is dwindling. I would be so psyched if I get in, even if it was at the last minute.

Best of luck to us all!
 
good **** man, i'm right there with u. don't lose hope, i'm still have some hope too. It's very late, but its not over yet
 
congrats to all that got in. this potato pastry is sad--no luck anywhere so far, thinkin about doin BMS.
 
Good luck to everyone. It's definitely not over yet. On the bright side, RFU didn't overfill their class as certain other schools have done this year, so the list definitely can move until the start date and beyond. I'm on another waitlist where the potential is essentially nada, so RFU is basically my last hope. 🙁


On another note, I had the craziest RFU dream a couple of nights ago. Does anybody watch that show Ninja Warrior? I must be watching too much of it lately, because I dreamed that I was on it and competing for a spot at RFU...I got to the final stage where it was down to me and 3 others, and then I woke up. Of course! Man, I wanted to see if I would have made it. No wonderful acceptance dreams for me, just Ninja Warrior! 😴
 
Good morning everyone. I am glad to see we are at least keeping the thread alive. I have definitely given up hope of RFU 🙁
 
DVN,

Haven't you seen Lord of the Rings? There is always hope, unleast until Aug. 8th or so.

We let this thing get to page six. That's sad. It sounds like there's still some movement so it could happen. Best of luck all. Hope you've had a great weekend and let's hope for some good news this next week. Peace,

Rowell
 
Wadup homies! I haven't talked in.....a LONG time. No update on my part. That's probably why I haven't posted. I've pretty much given up all hope on RFU and I continue to look for answers out there. I still, however, check here periodically and find out how everyone is doing.

Wishing you guys the best of luck (including myself).
 
I just got the rejection letter. The gist is that the class is full and they cannot offer me a spot. This may be because I was low on the unranked wiatlist or because they are done with admissions.

Best of luck to the rest of you!

I'm going to go to Toastmasters and prepare for next year.

Sorry about the bad news Doctor Nick. Hopefully next year is your year. I haven't received a rejection letter yet but I will probably receive it in August.
