I'm hoping this year will be my only year applying, but we're all in this to become physicians so an extra year or two of applications, spending $$$ won't matter...right?
I just got an email from UF saying that my file wasnt complete...I sent everything way back at the beginning of Nov. I called to see what the problem was and they admitted that they had just over looked one of my LOR's. Now I'm complete....1 MONTH LATER!!!!! That sucks!
Finished last week at UCF!
Hey,
Have you called up the office? I called them about once every week and a half for about a month asking about the progress of my application. I think at a school like USF where they are really friendly and almost like a family in that admissions office, it's beneficial. Not all schools are like this, so take advantage, and try calling
PS - I hope you hear good news soon
Hi, do you know the phone number for them? The one they provide keeps going to an automated system where every option says "e-mail us at..." Thanks.

See, I told you it's totally worth it to call. I'm so glad that you did. Just keep calling and you should get somewhere or at least they will be honest. They tell you like it is, REL is pretty awesome.
Wow!!!
about the interview and shocked by the turn around time (complete to interview).
WOW!!!! I just got a call from UFCOM for an interview mid Feb!!! I'm super excited
Wow!!!
That has happened with me at FSU. What sucks is that now your file is at the bottom, to be reviewed! Maybe you can politely ask them if they could somehow compensate for their mistake by having your file expediated through the process (i.e. top of the pile). Good luck. Be sure to consider FSU equally. I am very happy here!
I liked FSU when I toured their facilities a year or so ago. I really liked the study rooms they provided for the students, and the ones I spoke to seemed to be happy. One bonus is that there is a possibility of doing the 3rd and 4th year in Orlando which would allow me to live at my home again after 2 years. I see FSU students at the ORMC ED sometimes, that'd be cool to be one of them!
. (I know thats hecka late but I didnt realize I was missing a LOR for both!!!!)Does anyone know what month FSU and USF are at as far as interviews go? I recently got an interview from UF for mid Feb. I wont be complete at FSU or USF until the new year
Did you get the UF interview invite via email or mail?
I have been complete for over a months, and havent heard anything yet.
Good Luck to you all!
TPR, if you're really serious about considering UF, then don't withdraw yet. I think the bulk of people don't come off hold until March.
I did things in my life that made me happy and if those ECs aren't "good enough", then oh well.
Yeah, these things can be unpredictable for sure. If you're interested in USF, you should talk to him. Where's Guju? She always knows what each waitlist means in terms of when you'll get off. I think I would need a second PhD just to understand how USF's tiered waitlist works.BTW, middle of the waitlist at USF. I thought my interviews went well, but I guess I'll find out from REL the reason pretty soon. Whatever, I don't think interviews count for as much as the rest of your app. Seems like every school I go to, after they interview you, they still go over your entire application. If they decided based on my app that they should give me an interview in the first place then why do they need to look it all over again...
Eh...it's all a crapshoot

He said it could go either way, but he wants me to keep calling, because he's hoping I get in. USF has great clinical opportunities. Bleh, at least I'm holding an acceptance...it's nice to know I'm not up **** creek without a paddle
good
This is incorrect. The environment at USF is more to my liking. When I went into this process there were two schools I was hoping for, USF was one of them.
