Hi All!

I was accepted to UVM WOO HOO!! I received an email accepting me on May 9th. (I was on the top 1/3 of the Maine Access waitlist-much smaller pool). But, I just got accepted to Dartmouth a few days ago, and I don't know where to go!! I loved UVM, but Dartmouth is less expensive (and offered me a $20k scholarship/year). UVM offered 10k+ scholaship. After 4 years, I would save ~$70k at Dartmouth. Where should I go??!! First, I was part of the Maine Access group, so unless you are also from Maine, you won't be getting my spot (only ME residents compete for these 10 spots). Any suggestions?? I'm desperate!!

-D

Congrats phdng1! 🙂 Thats awesome.

While I love UVM - i would say go to the school that provides you with a better scholarship. Dartmouth is an amazing school as well so you can't really go wrong.

Best of luck!

I'd go with Dartmouth. I love UVM too, but you'd be getting just as good an education at Dartmouth, and 70K is a BIG difference.

Thank you all for your suggestions!!
More feedback on either of the schools would be greatly appreciated!!

Go to Dartmouth and then go back to Maine to practice someday. You are one lucky person!!! Congratulations.

Suppossedly there has been movement on UVM's waitlist, or so I was told by the admissions office. Of course, how much movement they wouldnt tell me.

Does anyone else have any information?

Anxiously waiting....

 

[unstuck]

If it's any help, I was accepted off the waitlist ~2 weeks ago. I wasn't actively monitoring my status, so I don't know where I ranked on the list.

Good luck to you all!

So...I just checked my status online.
I originally had the "you are currently in the MIDDLE third of the waitlist" message. Now it says "A final decision has been rendered and we will contact you by mail." This is scary...did anyone elses pages change?

Those of you who got in...what did your status page say when it was updated?

Now my status page is back to the normal "Middle of the waitlist" message.
Weird. After I had a 6 hour long panic attack, in which i checked my online status every 5 minutes...

Yikes! I can't believe your status page changed. that would have seriously sent me over the edge.
I spoke to the office again on Monday and still no movement. very sad 🙁
And you were right - the person i thought got off the MIDDLE was from the middle of the maine access list.

i guess i should really think about sending in my re-application ...

I had a zero productivity level at work all day yesterday..I was too anxious. Its ridiculous. I need a job where I dont spend all day on a computer, I think it will be better for my nerves.

Good luck reapplying. I am waiting until July 15 to re-submit my application - to see if anything pans out.

Hi-

Has there been any updates for all the hopefuls out there? Would love to hear what ended up happening for everyone! 🙂

 

[ratiolab]

i'm still out here anxiously waiting to hear some good UVM news. otherwise i think i'm headed to johns hopkins to do a one year masters in reproduc/cancer bio.

Anyone other UVM hopefuls still waiting as well? would love to hear what people are up to ...

 

[DeadPrez]

good luck! i will wish some good UVM love for you.

Anybody know what third they are in (based on posts)? It seems like the last month there has been virtually no movement. Does anyone know if this is it for the waitlist?

 

[ratiolab]

From people i've spoken to here on SDN they are at the middle of the waitlist. I called UVM yesterday and they said there has been no movement lately. Its getting down to the wire since i think orientation begins on the 7th.
I've pretty much given up hope but secretly await a phone call and obsessively check my online status.
