im just gonna go ahead and say it....I TOTALLY THINK THAT MEANS YOU MATCHED THERE!!!!!!!!!!!! no one else has "pend".... 😍 :luck: :luck:

I don't know. I was thinking it meant maybe they didn't update their records indicating that I showed up for the interview! Maybe they still have me listed as Pending for the interview!!! 😱 😱 😱 What if they didn't log something in their computer or something???? 😕 😕
 
My UTSW page also says "interviewed" There hasn't been any changes to this since I interviewed in December

I like your puppy! What kind is it??

I plan to take the day off from SDN tomorrow...I haven't gotten anything done today!
 
So.....

Do our Pre-Med Advisors have access to see where we matched yet? Can they find out early? If so, I'll take mine out to lunch tomorrow or something! 🙄

Check your tech page and see if they have dates for everything. Also when did you interview at Tech? You ranked the schools before Jan. 15 right?

If everything checks out then I think aprilshyla is right and you did match. Your the only one we know that has the word "pending" in the box. Kind of threw us for a loop.
 
Just for fun (and I'm avoiding doing real work) I checked my status for TT. I declined the interview b/c plane tickets from ATL are too expensive. My field is blank if that'll contribute to someone's theory.

How strange! So I declined my interview and mine says declined interview, and yours is blank. I thank that means this can't posisbly indicate anything. I mean , maybe if they are blank they are clearing out the people that aren't going for sure, and haven't gotten to me yet? Except my name is Alexander and last name starts with an A, so hmmm. SDN sure does give you more information into the process by piecing lots of info together, but that isn't always a good thing.

How about it destroys the entire theory! THANK YOU VERY MUCH 😡
Ah, guys...whatever has happened has happened and worrying about it ain't going to change it (or so I keep telling myself)...

I don't see any dates on anything 🙁

His name is Murphy, and he's not a puppy any more. He is an old old old man. He is 98 dog years old.

His "race" is a different story. He is a 1/2 schnauzer and 1/2 coyote. He was supposed to be pure schnauzer, but about a month after we got him, we realized he didn't loose his brown puppy coat. We called the breader and it turns out a coyote got in the pen with the mother before the real schnauzer daddy did.

He turned out to be an awsome dog though.

Wow... that changes the whole conspiracy. 😱

For those of you who have just joined us this what we have so far.

Most of the people on this site have "blank" admission status boxes on the tech status page. They ranked tech last or next to last.

The others have the word "interviewed" in their status box. They ranked tech as their first choice.

One individual has the word" pend" in their box and ranked tech as number one.

One individual who declined a interview has the words "declined interview" in the box.

Another individual who declined an interview has a "blank" box.

What does all of this mean? Who knows! 😕

Are you sure you don't see any dates on anything... that's kind of weird. Did you go to tech status page and log in and click on "review application"?
 
It seems that since the box is called "admission status" that a pending would mean that you had been accepted pending some other circumstance (such as matching at a higher choice school). As for the blank field, it can't possible mean an acceptance as a declined interview has one, and as for Interviewed, I am speculating it means nothing but that you have'nt been put into the systme as accepted/rejected yet (as it said interviewed for a long time). These have to mean something, as clearly there is a change in peoples "admission status". My $.02

i think this is probably right. Maybe by tomorrow, everyone's field will be blank. They probably started this process some time last week, and stopped because of the weekend. This would explain why some people who declined their interview have blank fields while others don't. As said earlier, it's probably alphabetical.

So...I haven't used this before.....what would be the username and password? I tried using my first initial/last name as username and 2005 as password as someone else indicated but that didn't work. Did I screw up?

Premed7 where did you rank tech on your list?

Well, the pasword was included in your physical acceptance letter, so if you don't have it you can maybe call them and get it from them. You had to use the online system to confirm the interview date, so if you interviewed there you did use the system. Anyhow, sorry if you don't have pw anymore.

I told you this things has a legit chance at hitting 5000 before the match results are posted.
 
Since this has been such a productive day stressing over numbers... (actually, distraction only works for so long, having something match related to ponder besides a big ? seems to help)

has anyone had a status change (LMFU) since 1/17 ? I haven't heard of anything but validation dates changing since then. If not this would kill the original theory about dates that is on page one of this thread@!

Of course. I should have never doubted you, JDAD. 😀

Got my fingers crossed for your and utsw!

I had a RCW update the same day I was validated, 1/21/05, but no LMFU since my 1/10 date.
 
No change on my TMDSAS status page.

OMG, this Tech thing is a great distraction. Whoever has "pend" on their Tech status page, I agree that maybe you matched!!! But wait until match day before you get too excited. WOOT! Oh, I hope the Tech people don't find out about all our speculation and mess with the clues on the status page...

Guys: only another week. I'm getting butterflies!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!

UTKB what do you have in your box and where did you rank tech?

Thanks for the luv man. I have no doubt that you will take of Lane's position as UTSA class president next year.
 
My dates have been the same for a while. RCW: 1/13/05 (got my Fall grades), LMFU: 1/10/05, Validation date: 1/11/05

Should I feel :barf:

I like this smiley

With your stats, I am 100% sure you matched somewhere! I really think that with so many people with great scores not having new LMFU, it can't have any relation to the match. Of course, we've all been saying that, and it doesn't stop us from checking 2 times a day! 🙂
 
4,400!!!

(had to do it, I'm off to the gym now. As Kip would say, "Peace Out!"
 
OK, now I feel like I'm the only one on this thread who is not validated. Can we get a head count of how many of us have been validated? Also, how many interviews did you have?

Me:
Not validated
1 interview

Please pardon my paranoia :barf:

Yah, it would be nice to know on what day the field on the Texas Tech status page went blank. Probably lead to a better explanation. I also had Tech ranked first, so this will just lead to more speculation over the next week.
hey lubbock21 was yours blank or said interviewed?

ok i have a question...we don't have to turn in our fall transcripts unless we match right? I fufilled all my premed preqs when i applied.

Yep. If you don't match anywhere...I guess it would be pointless. Unless however, you are waitlisted. Then send them in just in case!

WoW. This thread and some of y'all are going C-R-A-Z-Y.
Relax and drink some wine! 😀
Yes, you are right...but hey, at least it's with people who understand! 😀

I did drink wine. A whole bottle and I'm still going nuts. Should I drink more? 😳 😛

Yes, you should! Wine is great! 😀 Perhaps if I really wanted to stay in TX i'd be somewhat OCD right now as well, but I got my first acceptance last week so, I'm happy that I'll be going somewhere!
