Hehe, it's like a release party. :horns:


A release party with somber reckoning.
 
so no mail for me on the San Francisco peninsula; had the 'bad' fin aid message.

Anyone else in my boat feel like they're on a reality TV show called "Login Failed Survivor"?

Hmmm...maybe that would have made a good thread name.

Hope I'm still on the island with you guys tomorrow 🙄
 
*wanders over to the new thread...
 
So I'm totally not going to be able to fall asleep naturally tonight....which is why I pulled out my fancy box wine to do the trick 😀 So... I got the "bad" financial aid message, but i'm hoping it's not a total crapshoot, and here's why: Dr. Darrell Smith, Associate Dean of Admissions, called me back in January because he said that he came across my file while his subcommitte was reviewing interviewees (I interviewed in October). He sounded totally up-beat and said that he was impressed with my application and that's why he called (I really don't understand how since my application was far less glamorous than many of those from people on here). We talked for half an hour and it seemed alright. It would just feel odd to get rejected after that, right? 😕
 
nothing in my 02114 PO box

will be checking again during my lunch break
 
Are you ready Boston??? Are you ready for acceptances tomorrow!!!

Hmm that's interesting. When was your interview, may I ask?
And perhaps he was trying to gauge your interest? (since I'm sure you are loved/wanted by many schools =) Did you make it known that HMS is your top choice, or something to that effect?

(not that I'm trying to refute your theory - I'm hoping/wishing it's true too =)

And just out of curiosity, for those who got login failed, where's your last name in the alphabet? Mine is at the end.
 
does anyone else with the "good" finaid message think that they will be the first to disprove the theory with a nice little rejection letter?

I interviewed on October 16th. I think i made it known that HMS was my top choice, without sounding like a crazy HMS stalker (which I totally am). One of my friends said that maybe there was a discrepency in what my two interviewers wrote about me and he was calling to get an unbiased interpretation or something. ugh...i don't know. And I actually talked to him via e-mail 3 times since then. Hmm...oh well, HMS can afford to reject me, lol :laugh:

that would be so sad! 🙁 🙁 🙁
 
Hey all! I've been awfully quiet this entire time so I thought I might pipe up and say something. I'm totally loving this thread - it's kind of my legal addiction. I've read every single post. I suspect there are a lot of people like me too who are just waiting with anticipation and haven't said anything yet. Anyhow, I got the "good" financial aid message the other day and have since then been glued to my mailbox. Anyone think tomorrow we might hear the first acceptances? Anyone know when HMS's second look weekend is?

I have a feeling i will disprove it 🙁 not necessarily with a rejection but maybe a waitlist.... no one really knows if waitlisters woudl get the good msg or the bad msg.

sighhhhhhhhhhh, how long ya think before the hopefully good mail comes down to texas....?
 
im sooooooooo addicted to this thread, too, by the way. and im really glad it's a fun/upbeat/crazy one - cuz i always know there's something to look forward to on here =P

but mannnnn, i have a test on thursday in a class that im doing TERRIBLY in, so yeaaa, this waiting is really not helping me study........ at all.....

I honestly think acceptances won't be received until Wednesday, except for the Boston area. The email said letters were sent on 3/19 and it seems to be the standard operation to send those out last (from last year's thread). Also, the HMS 2009 student said the acceptance packets had not been put together when the thin letters were going out.

I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!🙁

Aww c'mon, give us "login failed" people a shot at the waitlist! 😛
The admissions office is on a different floor than the financial aid office ... there is no way your SSN could be recognized by the fin aid database if the admissons office didn't hand the pile of "accepted" to fin aid! 🙂
And since acceptances are priority-mailed, I'd say Wednesday at the latest? (that's also when the fin aid website opens up again, so you'll know for sure on the 21st no matter what =)

gooodluck with your midterm! notice how im still here......... waiting........ reading.................. posting............... not studying...........

=/

gahhh, im shutting the comp down now and studying for an hour.
 
Just for the sake of arguement, how many people who received the "bad" message have already submitted their FAFSA? As a student who has yet to fill out the FAFSA for either undergrad or med school, I'm just interested to see whether or not having submitted financial aid paperwork may have been relevant to the message received.
 
i just woke up and can't sleep again:idea:

Hmm, are you gay/not straight? Done any radiology and/or HIV related work? These are respectfully serious questions that may hold your fate. Also, Smith's name wasn't listed among any of the subcommittees, but he is on the main committee.

I haven't gotten a rejection letter yet here in the South, and I also got the login failed message.

HMS' second look will be on April 12 & 13. Hang in there! 😉
 
Good luck everyone! Apologies to all of the login failed peeps, but here's to not disproving the financial aid website theory today!

Did anyone else not apply to harvard b/c they feel they woulndt have stood a chance, now regretts it wholeheartidly. I wish I would have applied because then I would have known how "far" I could have gone. Ill never know now. I find myself always checkthing this thread out of regret now heh.

Any others like me?

I almost did not apply. If it weren't for my pre-medical advisor, I would be in your shoes right now, so I can definitely empathize.
 
My hope for today: Someone in the Boston area who had the "contact the admissions office" message receives an acceptance today.

When does your mail come? Mine won't be around until 4:30. Come on, USPS!😴

I applied because my boyfriend insisted. We actually fought over it because I did not feel like humiliating myself...and I got in their MD/PhD program! I guess females in my family tend to have low self-esteem 🙁
