I just got an email...they started reviewing applications today! And here are some dates from the email-

February 15 Letters sent for those selected for interviews
March 6 Interviews
March 20 Interviews
April 15 Letters of acceptance are mailed
May 21 Spring 2010 transcripts are dueFebruary 15 Letters sent for those selected for interviews
March 6 Interviews
March 20 Interviews
April 15 Letters of acceptance are mailed
I don't undstand how they can mail acceptance letters on the 15th....do they let you know before hand as well via phone or email?
arent final decisions to schools due on the 15th of April?? 😕
ps. its a good thing they will be accepting fall transcripts after the 8th. no way mine would get there in time.

Is anyone else irritated that they aren't mailing letters until the day deposits are due at other VMCAS schools? I am really getting tired of UF taking SO long to get started on things when other schools have already started making final decisions 🙁
amen
I got the same letter from UF and I can't believe that they are waiting so long to inform everyone. But hey... I knew that to begin with. I don't think that they will wait til April 15th to mail acceptances because that would be ridiculous and harmful to other applications. But we'll see.
Yeah, they usually send them out in the beginning of April. I believe last year people heard as soon as March 28. Other years have been the first week of April. So I don't think they will actually only mail them out April 15. Like Radio2020 said, I think it was poorly written.
Yeah I think it was written to pacify the people who keep e-mailing her about application status, so now she won't have a full inbox every morning haha. Me... I'm not too worried about anything right now (just having a slight heart attack every time I check the mail or my e-mail)... i've done all I can it's up to them now!
Good luck everyone!
Funny because now she is going to have even MORE emails about people panicking that they won't hear in time to notify other schools!
UF is my IS, does anyone that's IS remotely have the same stats or know of anyone that's been accepted in the past that does. I'm getting nervous as I am a second time applicant that doesn't feel like waiting another year...

No clubs except for AED when I thought that I wanted to be an MD for a semester lol...:-/
Just barely earned an interview last year...so the experience should help, but I'm worried that experience won't make up for the fact that I did...barely earn an interview. (I have improved my application since last year)
I know it's a little too early to be worrying, considering interview invites are still a month away, but nonetheless, here I am.

I was wondering if anyone knew how willing they would be to let an OOS switch to the IS date. The reason I ask is that I just found out I am going to Israel and leave on the 18th. If by some chance I get an interview, I don't want to have to cancel my trip, because its a a great opportunity, but I don't want to ruin my shot at getting into the school. I know its premature, but I was just curious.
UF typically tries to get letters out between April 1st-5th. I'm almost 100% sure the 15th is a typo.

Ten more days!!!! 😀
I am applying next cycle, but this seems like it is cutting it close. Surely, someone may lose their deposit money at another school. I guess that kinda of stuff happens at all schools from time to time.
When do most school mail out acceptances?
