Has anybody's status been updated from "committee decision pending"? I had expected my application to be reviewed yesterday at meeting, but no update. Thanks!
 
Be thankful for that status. I've been "under review" since Aug 22. I called today and they said that was correct! They also said to never check the "Application Status" page. Apparently it's just a waste of internet space and stress for applicants. 🙁 I am not happy with UofL at all.
 
just checked my status- now says decision notification pending... your letter notifying you or your decision has been placed in the mail!!! should find out in a day or two!
 
Question: The office of admissions "began reviewing" my secondary application on 8/22 and I've yet to hear a thing. Should I call/email to see what's up or just take it as subtle "we don't like you"?
 
My status was updated Friday, says Decision Notification Pending, and that a letter has been mailed.

I thought that it would actually SAY my decision on the status page today, but I called and they said that the only way to see my decision is through the mail. Apparently all letters were mailed on Friday. Sucks 🙁 I guess I'll have to wait.

Must be lost in the mail seriously if they were mailed Friday.

Meh. Depends on how far away you live I suppose. The lady at the interview told us to expect a letter within 5 days after your status changed to "Notification Pending." If it takes longer than 5 days she said to call. Not sure if they'll tell you over the phone or just re-send the letter, but that's all I know.
 
i'm in the same boat- just waiting on the letter... i'm guessing they mailed them on saturday rather than friday.
 
Mine has a category "Seat Deposit Recieved:" and I assume it changes to yes and no, has that always been there?
 
yes, seat deposit received has always been there...
 
Nothing in the Lexington mail today either. Anyone else?
 
no letter here either... anyone wanna take one for the team and call UofL to see what the deal is?
 
I don't have the cohones to do it yet... it's really only been three business days. I'll give them a call if I haven't heard tomorrow though.
 
I called today. This time the lady told me letters were mailed out yesterday (last time I was told Friday). Again, she told me that no decisions would be given online or over the phone (lamest policy ever). I even tried to sneak my way into a decision by telling them that I was leaving the country soon and wanted to know my decision. She said "oh...well in that case, you'll have to talk with -- oops, she left for today already." Damn! Foiled again... :meanie:
 
i can't wait until that stupid letter gets here. from what i've heard, the fact that we're getting a letter is a good sign... but i want to see that damn acceptance on paper!
 
My bro interviewed there 10/4 and his status changed to "Notification Pending" today (yesterday maybe?). So I suppose they've gone through interviewers to that point at the 10/9 committee meeting. Later interviewers (like me!) will have to wait until at least the 10/23 committee meeting. :scared:



gurldoc: your MDapps says you interview at UofL 11/6. I figure that's a typo since you're excited about getting a letter. Mind if I ask when you interviewed?
 
I interviewed on 9/13, and my update still says committee decisions pending, should I be worried?
 
i interview at UofL 9/19, accidentally switched them up on MDApps.... here's for hoping we're accepted tomorrow!
 
Still waitin, but my mail is going to Michigan...Maybe Tomorrow?

I don't think you should be worried necessarily. My bro is kind of a stud for that school since he just finished a masters there at the end of July. People without his kind of in (again, like me) will have to wait a little longer I suppose.
 
Decision notification pending....still no mail 🙁....I live in a rural area thou
 
Nothing in the mail today, maybe tomorrow?
 
So when they say you have to keep your GPA at an acceptable level... what exactly do you think this means?

Callaway- does your status say that you should be expecting a letter? If it does, you should definitely be getting one soon. If you haven't heard from them I wouldn't get too upset- just wait a little while! Good luck!
 
No, my status still says Committee Decision Pending, but at my interview, they said they would mail out the decisions on that monday (15th). So I assume that was true and my status just hasn't changed yet?
 
STILL no mail...🙁 I think it's a little odd since I live in KY...oh well maybe tomorrow

I would say that it probably means your GPA should not be much worse when you graduate as it was on your AMCAS ... basically, do not blow off classes now that you got in med school and it "doesn't matter" anymore

I would say you are wrong. If you have an acceptance in hand, and they say this, I believe this gives you a little wiggle room. I would say as long as you keep in at 3.0+ you should be fine. After all, overall GPAs shouldnt change too much this late into college.

Isn't that essentially what he said?
 
What the hell is campus preview day? That e-mail just made me angry.

so umm.. why were we invited to this Campus Preview Day if we haven't been offered an interview...?

think if we go to it we'll get an interview? i've got nothing to do that saturday. field trip.
 
Looks like I'll make it to louisville. At least if I don't get an interview I can gamble and make my gas money back 🙄

it might show interest.. that's, of course, if they even take your name there.

I will be busy that day. now if they want to turn it into an interview, I might be able to find the time..
 
No word from UofL again, could my decision been lost? Or never mailed, since my status has not changed since my interview?

I think I got a mailer about this campus preview day too. It didn't look like anything specifically for the med school though. I figured the med school applicants all got put in a database of "potential students" just like high school students and this preview day is just for anyone interested. It didn't look like anything special, and I doubt it would have any real impact on your app. Though I suppose it will give you better insight into the campus if that's what you're looking for.
