I am in the process of sending it to Iowa, not the AADSAS. I didn't think both were necessary

I didn't. I'm going to wait until I graduate to send my transcripts to Iowa

For those that weren't as fortunate to receive an acceptance this year, here are some numbers (for in-state, sorry I don't know anything about OOS) for reference: 106 residents applied; 74 had interviews; 60 acceptances sent out (3 people declined); 3 alternate spots. Just receiving an interview was a huge accomplishment! So keep on trying for next year! I know I am!

Could not agree more with hawkeye. I was on the alternate list last year, and found out I was back on it this year last Wednesday. I scheduled a meeting with Elaine in Iowa city to see what I had to do, and ended up getting accepted Monday afternoon. Keep being relentless, you never know what might give you the edge.

Congratulations! What exciting news! Thanks for the encouraging words!
Does anyone have any idea how many alternate spots it takes generally to fill out of state spots? I was just given a ranking from Elaine but she never really mentioned how realistic my chances were. She never relayed if the class is full or not specifically for the out of state spots

To those who got accepted,
Can you guys share your stat?
I got an interview on Feb, 22. I also emailed Dean Kelly asking my situation, he said "You are a candidate that is certainly qualified but will not be an early admission because your PCAT score is a little on the low side. It does not mean you cannot be admitted. I can assure you that you will get a fair hearing and we understand that students that have ESL do struggle a little with the PCAT. We will get you a decision as quickly as we can." What does it really mean?

I finally made the decision not to go to Iowa. This was a VERY tough decision, but I hope this makes someone's day off the OOS waiting list.

I'm not applying for a couple more years but am studying for the DAT right now and need some quick motivation. I'm in state for Iowa and would really love to attend this school.
If you don't mind me asking (or you sharing), has anyone received any scholarships/financial aid? If so, what were your stats/extra-curriculars?
Also, was anyone a part of the Deferred Admit Program (DAP) and have any information regarding the interview/selection process for DAP students?
Thank you!

I had my interview a week and a half ago and I don't see that status change that says "check back Dec 1." Does that mean that I won't get in? I am an out of state applicant so I'm not sure if that means anything.
