got the acceptance in the mail today. thin letter.

I have no idea what the waitlist message meant, one minute it was there, then it was gone, then I got the acceptance letter.

good luck all

Congratulations! I wonder if you were ever on the waitlist in the first place.

Congratulations dbhvt. It's awesome, enjoy it.
 
I'm accepted. 🙂

I'm out of state, and I don't know if it made any difference, but I sent a thank you email to my interviewer last week. I think it would be best to communicate somehow with the admissions committe if this is your school. Good luck to everyone else still waiting. 👍

Thanks, congrats to you too (UVM and PITT, that's AWESOME)

As of now, I'm going to Vermont.
How about you? Sounds like you have a tough choice to make 😎

As of now, I'm going to Vermont. I still have a few schools to hear back from, though. How about you? Sounds like you have a tough choice to make 😎

I've yet to hear from my number one choice, but between Iowa, UVM and Pitt, phew! I don't know. They're all so great. I think I'm going to have to wait for financial aid numbers.
 
Vermont. They sent me the FIRST rejection letter in January. Today I got a SECOND rejection letter. I guess they hated my application enough to send me TWO rejections. 🙁

Hi there,
Did anyone apply under the Maine Access program? If so, did any of you get accepted, or were we all waitlisted/rejected? Mary said there were still open spots for Access, but couldn't tell me if any of them had been filled, she said they were waiting to here info from FAME too. If you know anything, please let me know. Thanks!


I applied through Me Access, and I've been on hold since November. I assume it's because they review all of us at the same time. Anyone heard anything?

If I can say something about UVM as a current student: I don't think you'll find any better financial aid support than you will at UVM. Be certain to not only look at the financial aid numbers, but also at the support that the financial aid office gives to students. I can guarantee that you'll revisit your financial aid status several times each year during med school. Coming from California, I didn't expect to get any type of aid, but the financial aid office at UVM has been amazingly supportive in getting me the aid I needed. If you've interviewed there, you know who I am talking about.
 
Anyone who interviewed Feb. 9th get any more information online than "You have been INTERVIEWED?" My status hasn't changed and I remember them telling us our applications were going to be reviewed the following Friday (17th).

Duuuuuuuude. Guess I won't be seeing you in the land of corn and pigs (Iowa, in case they had misled you into think that there are not a lot of corn and pigs there!).

Congratulations!!!

Thanks gd 🙂

One thing though, if you end up at Iowa... When you're doing your clerkships, the folks from Iowa City might know what a pig is, but a farmer will give you a blank stare. They rear hogs.

And here's an Iowa trivia question for you:

What unsuccesful candidate for governor threw away the race when he started running attack ads accusing Tom Vilsack of supporting 'totally nude dancing'?

(This seriously happened, folks. They even had TV ads with a silhouette of a girl pole dancing. Completely back-fired.)

Who knows. I might end up in Iowa City after all.


Good luck at Colorado, gdbaby. :luck:

Was it Doug Gross. He ran some pretty shady ads.
 
I'm on the waitlist. I have already sent a letter if intent ( about a page and a half double spaced). Can anyone think of anything else I could do to help my chances of getting in? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

No idea. I was hoping you would know! I'll buy Doug Gross then.

It's Jim Ross Lightfoot. It took a lot of wierd google queries that brought up suspect websites on my home computer. I am expecting the FBI-child exploitation unit to be knocking on my door soon.
 
Anyone from Feb. 9 still have no info on their app?
 
Every time I try to post domething it says there has been an eror hope some of this stuff is getting posted

Have you interviewed? I interviewed and have been put on the waitlist.

Don't tell me you didn't have fun searching for "Totally nude dancing".
 
Does anyone know if they accept students off the waitlist before May 15th, or do all of us on the waitlist just have to wait until then? I am kind of hesitant to call since they said that those on the waitlist can inquire about their status after May 15th in he letter they sent me.

It's been known and I have been told that it does occasionally happen, but it has not happened this year. At least, not yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Anyone else get an update today online? Waitlisted here.
 
just checked my online status and ive been placed on the list of qualified/alternate candidates for admission - i guess this means waitlist.
Anyone know what the movement on the waitlist is like??

I really love this school and its my only option at this point - so i'd love to know how many people they actually take off the waitlist.
 
I have the message "Your file has been reviewed by the Admissions Committee and a final decision rendered. We will be contacting you shortly by mail regarding the status of your application."

I suppose its better to get the message Your file has been reviewed and you have been placed on the list of qualified/alternate candidates for admission. ....

No it's not. you are in. yours is an acceptance
 
Same for me too...qualified/alternate list. Mary told us at our orientation first thing on interview day that most people get waitlisted so late in the game...I interviewed Feb. 21 but was still hoping for more. Good luck everybody! i am sure it will start movin soon. 🙂

So what status is there for rejection?
 
Golddanboy said:

You'll have to wait for the letter to find out. I'm pretty sure that your message means EITHER acceptance or rejection, hopefully an acceptance for you!! If you were waitlisted, it would specifically say so. Good Luck! :luck:
 
Your file has been reviewed and you have been placed on the list of qualified/alternate candidates for admission. After May 15, 2006, you may contact the admissions office for more information regarding the waitlist. If you are a Maine Access candidate, please contact the admissions office for further information regarding your waitlist status.

I suppose I should be glad, but I'm annoyed! Yarg! Does anyone know if this is a ranked waitlist? What is the chance of being pulled off of it?
 
Um, so when would we get the letters regarding our status (and why couldn't they just say reject/accept 😛)

From my back-and-forth emails with the admissions office, I found out that the waitlist IS ranked, but will not be ranked until the beginning of May. Waitlist movement wont begin (for the majority of pple) until May15th. They will not tell you where you are on the list until they are finished ranking, and will not give any information about prior waitlists because they feel those lists in the past are not indicative of future movement.....so yes, all in all a frustrating process. Been on the list since Feb, good luck!! :luck:
 
Yeah, my online message says "final decision" has been made, too. We're sure that there is a separate message for waitlist? I understood that the waitlist was fairly large. Wow, I was sort of anticipating being on the waitlist... I bet this means I'm being rejected. Yikes - that letter can't come soon enough.
 
It could very well mean you are accepted!!

Right. I would kindly refer you to the MDApplicants profile in my signature. Waitlisting me would be generous of them. I think it's a done deal now, rejection. This is depressing because UVM is absolutely my dream school, and I can't stand my home state of SC. Sigh... I guess at the end of the day, an MD is an MD.

Don't be so hard on yourself. While your undergrad was less than stellar you certainly seemed to have proven yourself as a grad student, which gives you a significant advantage over those without advanced degrees.

Furthermore, you expressed that you had a great deal of patient contact and neither of the other two schools you interviewed at rejected you.

How well do you feel your interview went?

I don't mean to give you a false sense of hope, but I think you have to consider these facts before you give up on the belief that you still have a shot.
 
For those who are waitlisted like myself-
I know how stressed out I was when that was all I had . . . I loved UVM but got into another great school so I am going to take myself off the waitlist.
I just thought letting you all know might help alleviate the stress a little (but probably not at all, I know).
Good luck everyone, what's meant to be will be . . .
 
Thin letter today. Rejection. Sad.
 
So this morning my status said, qualified/alternate, but now it says ACCEPTED, so check your status and best of luck
 
Thanks. At least I'll be saving some major $$$ at USC or MUSC. Lemonade out of lemons, etc... best of luck to all you guys. Thanks for support.

big bummer. i was truly hoping that you'd be there at uvm. but hey, their loss is (M)USC's gain! rock on, rogue!

Me too! I am so excited! Good luck to everyone who is still waiting, and check your status often!

Mine has not changed since Jan when I was initially put on the waitlist. When did you interview?

I interviewed on 2/28/06. Good luck :luck:
 
Congrats to you guys who got accepted! Mine still hasn't changed and I don't really expect it to but why do you think they change sometimes like that within a few days of alternate notification?? Anyone send letter of intents? I am thinking of sending one...I thought UVM was an amazing school. Good luck everybody! 🙂
