Interviewed 1/20. "Hold for Spring Consideration": 2/15.

And reading into the application thread, this seems to be the lower end of the people waiting post interview, as opposed to the alternate list. Oh well, guess I'll just wait and see what happens.
 
My friend Interviewed January and is Alt listed

You were accepted into the physical therapy program....not the allopathic medical school. Please be more careful where and what you post 😳

fireitup mentioned it earlier in the school specific SUNY Downstate thread. He/she had applied last cycle and seemed to know about it.

Hey, I was in your position last year. I called up the office last year and was told that it is considered to be the precursor to the alternate list. If you look back at last years' thread, you will see that almost all alternate listed applicants were accepted, while only a handful of those on hold were. I also vaguely remember one of the adcoms saying that if you got alternate listed later on in the year with the letter stating that the class was full, you are in pretty good shape. Of course, if someone else could corroborate this I would appreciate it, but that is the impression I got: alternate > hold.
 
Hey everybody, I interviewed in mid February and haven't heard anything. It looks like it can take up to 2 months to hear back. Just wondering, does the application status website change when you've been reviewed by the committee? My status site looks exactly the same as it did before my interview.

No, the status page remains the same until you receive your decision letter, although, if you get put on hold or rejected I think it does not change at all.

Hey guys a question,

I know that everyone here on the alt list received medical forms and the notice to take a CPR class. I was wondering if these things all needed to be completed before a student is eligible to receive an acceptance off the alternate list. Or are they general things we need to complete to be able to matriculate?


I sent the confirmation form and the transcripts, but haven't had the physical/CPR class yet.

Just complete everything the letter asks you to do, the forms and the BLS are not too difficult to complete anyway.

Wondering, how do I take the BLS class?

I'm so confused. I looked it up on google and all I get is
http://www.americanheart.org/present...tifier=3011975
I don't really know how to navigate the site to sign up for classes. (I'm in Atlanta)

I did find this site that I can sign up for classes
http://www.gacpr.com/bls.html
but I don't know if it's the correct course...


Can anyone give me a hand?
Click to expand...

That is the right one, just make sure it is American Heart Association Certified and it is called BLS for "HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS". That's it. It's a one day course, take the test afterward, ace it, and you get the card very soon.

by the way, for further questions, please post them in the 2010-2011 school specific thread (http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=728298&page=15), so that this wait-list thread can turn into a nice "status" page for all alternate and hold list. Thanks

Has anyone asked the admissions office what the chances are of getting off the list?

My friend asked at a different university and they gave him a straight answer (accepted afterwards)

**By the way, I checked my status page today and it had a long list of red X's for things like deposit, college transcripts, health requirements, etc. Will update everyone if this actually results in an acceptance.
 
I am assuming everyone else got the

Thank you for your interest in being on our alternate list. However, if you have decided to attend another medical school, please send an email to [email protected] withdrawing your application by Monday, May 9, 2011.

Really hoping to hear about some damn movement, and real soon.
 
Withdrew today. :luck: to all of you, but I hope mine goes to fireitup 👍.
 
Got a call on my cell phone asking if I was still interested in being on the alternate list, I'm sure my fellow alternate listers will be getting the same call, so dont get too excited by it!
 
was it 718 area code?

I didn't receive any call from the admission office today, yet I have two unknown miss calls that are not 718 area code. Did you send any LOI or anything after the interview?? Just curious.

No I didn't send anything post interview except for a thank you email to my interviewer. Maybe you'll get a call tomorrow?

Hopefull not, because I am working tomorrow, and I think the only place that I can talk on the phone is in the bathroom...lol. Anyway, thanks for giving us a heads-up.

i'm sure they'll leave a message or send you an email or something if you're unavailable, I wouldn't sweat it.
 
oh dang, I didn't get a call. I did send in a letter of intent though. Maybe they selected a few to be accepted and wanted to double check?
