I definitely got higher in the chemistry section of the PCAT when I had only had 1 month of organic compared to the second time I took it when I had a full semester of it.

That stinks about the misinformation. The first time I took the PCAT (and the only score they actually had when I was accepted as September scores weren't in) I hadn't had organic at all yet! And having a month of organic really didn't boost it that much in September, either.
I've thought about taking biochem in the summer, too. Do you know anywhere that's offering it as a summer course? I haven't had any luck.
Well I'm thinking a few places in VA might have it, I'm pretty close to the border so I may just hop over there an take it. Financial aid during the summer stinks anyways, so might as well just pay out of pocket.

Interesting they told you March 1st you would hear something because I've heard from a few people that they are opening up March 7th as ANOTHER interview date.
I think UK's process of informing potential candidates as to their overall status is quite ridiculous when compared to other institutions. Every other school I have applied to has not only been more inviting/welcoming, but they have also given me an expedited answer. I interviewed at UK in November and have not been rejected, nor accepted, however I have been accepted at other schools and am faced with paying deposits to reserve my spot while I wait months and months for UK to give me a decision. A faculty member put it perfectly, they are losing a ton of quality applicants by waiting so long to make their decisions. Good luck to all, but UK's process is aganizingly painful and slow, and personally it's really put me off now that I see how other places handle admissions.

So I know I'm reaching for the stars here, but has anyone heard anything from them yet? The closer it gets to March 1rst the more anxious I get. I don't think they'll deny anyone, since they said there was still a lot of spots left. Anyone with any info, let me know lol.
They actually said they had a lot of competitive applicants this time, and because of that they're doing more interviews. There's another interview day set for March 7.
I know they interviewed about 200 last year, and of those somewhere around 160 were accepted to fill the class of 135 - so a lot more got accepted than denied out of the people who got interviews.

I know that the odds are in your favor if you get an interview, but it's the waiting that's killing me lol. I have a friend who was about to go to orientation at another school when UK contacted him. I don't want that to be me lol. If you have any inside info, feel free to share it.

Just got my acceptance letter this morning. It looks like they are notifying people today.
Kind of sucks because I dropped $500 last night to reserve my spot at UT because the deadline was this morning
. Oh well, I'm excited I was finally accepted to my school of choice.

I did not think I'd go to UK before my interview, but the interview day changed my mind completely. They've been my top choice since then! Now all I need to do is to pay that $1000... ouch...
Congrats to everyone else who has been accepted!!! Can't wait to meet y'all! 🙂
