Starting a thread to see if we can help each other out in terms of the VSAS (or non-VSAS) notification process. I personally have not heard anything yet, although I submitted my applications for aways when the site first opened for the schools I was interested in.

So, if you have heard this year and are doing an away, let us know so that all of us who haven't heard anything can freak out. :laugh:

Thanks!
 
Do the schools you're looking at have specific notification dates? I only applied to one school and it specifically said on the website that they won't look at applications until June 12.
 
I applied to several schools through VSAS. The processing dates are all in June, but one has already notified me that I can have the privilege of being on their wait list. Another flat out canceled the elective that I applied to. Thanks, VSAS. Can I have my $15 back?
 
I only applied to one away through VSAS. I was shocked to hear back from them weeks before their stated earliest notification date. BTW I was approved!🙂
 
From the communications I've had with the programs, it sounds like they unofficially fill their spots as the applications arrive.
 
I heard back from 4 out of 5 schools, 1 rejection, 3 acceptances. Im doing two aways so I have had to decline 1 offer so far.
 
Only one of my aways was thru VSAS and I found out (accepted!) about 2 weeks after their deadline.

School was U of M, rotation was IM.
 
non-vsas but MSU EM. anyone hear anything from Iowa?
