I checked my status page after reading this thread. They ACCEPTED me today!!! I'm OOS (from CA) and will likely give up my spot, so best of luck to those on the waitlist!

I'll take your spot, thank you very much. That is unless some of y'all are in front of me...😀. I went skiing today and all I could think about on the lift was what might be waiting online for me when I got home. Sadly no change.. still on the WL

i was told by someone that the nearest ski resort is 2 hours away from burlington...is this true?
 
Stowe, Smugglers Notch, Jay Peak and Sugarbush are a few...
 
Bolton too, its no fancy huge resort with hot babes. Its more of a nice family place..but i can get there from B-town (burlington) in about 35 mins..more of a family place. But hey...lift tickets were only 9 bucks this week..how awesome was that!!
 
SPAR,
where have you been?
so what's going on? have you heard anything more from them?

I love Bolton, it is right near my house. Tuesday and Wednesday is half-price lift tickets for women and childcare is only 19 per kid for the whole day. They treat mommies right!

I've been keeping my fingers crossed for you...someone else who loves VT so much they would put all of their eggs here.

here's to hoping that you get a nice fat acceptance for the holidays!

SERIOUSLY SPAR, way to leave us hanging!!--any update on the waitlist status page? I am also crossing all my fingers for you---cheers to VTers getting into UVM🙂
 
Any ideas how long they'll be out for the holidays? How long should we wait before we can expect further updates? (i'm OOS so i'll prolly have to wait until may, but I like to know if there might be update)
 
For the skiiers on the board, what's the east coast snow like? I've heard what passes for powder on the east coast is icy concrete on the west? I'm not diferentiating between med schools based on the average snowpack, but I am curious.

I have skied in Quebec couple times (close enough to VT)...its pretty powdery...skied in whistler (West coast) once the snow really felt the same.... 😀

havent skied for 6 years (use to ski quite often before) ...since I injured my knee playing basketball. but hopefully I will take it up soon...lets hope i didnt forget...

taking a look at past SDN posts, i noticed that ppl came out of the waitlist pretty much anytime...
 
Yeah...still waiting. A few of my friends have gotten in from out of state, but not me yet. And everyone i know and their moms (literally) are calling me and asking me. Just going to try to enjoy the holidays. I hope y'all have a Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
 
I got a little skinny envelope from them today... but it was just saying that I count as a VT resident.

🙁 I think your status page will change soon, instaters are notoriously favored! I'm sorry about everyone calling and asking, that's so annoying, I tend to just tell people I'll give them news when I have it and then send out mass emails...
 
still there too, but then again it's a holiday weekend and nothing is likely to change. keeping my fingers crossed for some early news in jan.... being OOS isn't great in this process.

beaner-

I am OOS and complete mid october. My status page just changed to "you are in a pool of applicants that we may interview"....

are you on that status page also or are you "complete-all materials submitted"?

just seeing what others have on their status page

does anyone know if I have passed some screening...likliness of an interview?

good luck

Hey, sorry for the major delay...I had all my materials completed page awhile ago (like three months). I'm now on the "we may or may not interview you" page. Wow, super helpful👍 :laugh: .

I'm also curious what this really means. I've talked to a gentleman who used to be affiliated and he was 😕 and unfortunately couldn't offer any insight. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
 
How long does it take to get a decision after your status paged changes to:

We have made a decision on your application and will be contacting you shortly regarding our decision.

For me it took one day after I got that message to get put on the waitlist, then one more day to be accepted (all via status page updates). I'm in-state.

Breathe!
g'luck.
 
About a day for me too. I was in the "we're deciding now" pool on monday, then by monday afternoon I was in the "you're from oregon so you have to wait" pool.
 
Waiting on the wait list is fun. The sad thing is i'm going to continue to check my status page life fifty times a day now till August....😎

Spar, I hope you get in UVM. What you have told us about your commitment to the vermont region...you totally deserve the acceptance...! I'll be praying for you 🙂
 
Don't know if you folks could help me, but I was delighted to find out today that I've been invited for an interview at UVM, on of my favorites.

The assigned interview date is March 8th. Is there any polite way to find out if I would be interviewing for a waitlist spot (I'm OOS)? I would probably interview anyway, but it would be nice to know going into things.

Congrats on all with their acceptances... Well done...
 
most OOS get waitlisted right away anyways. you might as well go for it, unless you have another acceptance at a school youd rather go to. Youll save yourself some money by not flying and paying for a hotel. but obviously, its your decision, so...Do you want to go to Vermont or would you rather go somewhere else? Good luck
 
so has any OOS been rejected after their interview. I was really excited to be put on the waitlist, since I thought out of staters either get waitlisted or rejected. I feel like everyone got waitlisted however. Did anyone get rejected?

yes, I know of someone who got rejected...
 
does anyone know how waitlist-->acceptance decisions are made? is there a certain date where the committee meet and decide on those who are waitlisted?

looking back at previous years threads (and mdapps) there have been 1 or 2 SDNers who were accepted during the year from the waitlist (lol if you have been waitlisted for > 2+ weeks that is 😉 )

But it appears (atleast from SDN) vast majority come off sometime AFTER May 15th...so, it might be a long wait.

ok i asked the person about this...she meant there arent any "good ski resorts"...whatever that means...she is swiss, i presume every ski resorts is crap to her if they aren't in the ALPS. 😀
 
May 15th...i can't wait! Here's to hoping they take in-staters a little quicker!😀

I got an interview invitation today and I am soooo excited!!!! I can't wait 😀 I was in that pool of applicants that might be interviewed for months and months. But this comment kinda burst my bubble. I'm OOS 🙁

You could either hear it from us or from UVM. During the admissions presentation at the interview they pretty much tell you taht most OOSers are waitlisted. Good luck
 
I was accepted to UVM 🙂

I'm so happy!
 
I am OOS, and interviewed early October 🙂
 
bump - any waitlist movement? Please? I'd like to get outta Utah and go home...
 
Hey all,
I'm a MS IV at UVM COM (the 1st class with the VIC) and I have been absolutely thrilled with my education and experience here. It is truly a hidden gem and I am SO glad I chose to come here over the other places I got into. Please feel free to email me if you are considering it and/or have any questions! 🙂
 
Any OOS got off the waitlist recently? I suck at this waiting game!
 
I'm going insane checking the status page every day,despite the statment that it won't be updated until may. This is definitely worse than waiting for the MCAT last spring. Bonne chance all.
 
I check once a week or so. I figure if I get a status change I'll hear about it via email after a couple of days. You're right though geogil, this IS worse.

That's logical, but it doesn't work that way. No email updates for status changes. I got waitlisted and then accepted in less than 24 hours (in state) but I never would have known I was on the waitlist if I hadn't happened to have checked my status page on that day. If you get accepted they will send a letter in the mail. Good luck, and check your status page!!
 
I love waiting. I can't wait till May...😎 If it makes anyone feel better a lot of my friends who are at the school now said a lot of the class got accepted in the summer off the waitlist. 😀
 
I just interviewed today...and all I can say is "wow!"

Fingers crossed!!!
 
Anyone know if they review people on the WL before May 15? This is not including the folks that got placed on the WL, then got accepted a few days later.
 
Hey SurgeonUFO, I submitted my secondary to UVM back in September and I have not heard a peep from them. Do you mind to tell me your stat's? Maybe my MCAT and GPA are not competetivie enough. If I know that, I can move on and assume their silence means rejection. Thanks.
 
I would be wary of the notion that just because they haven't contacted you yet, they don't want you. I was complet at St Louis U in mid-august, and just this week they gave me an interview invite. It's not over til the interview season is over.
