Were you accepted last year?

For those of you who were accepted last year...would it be possible to describe:

1) What was the process for first-round interviews? I assume most people got an email indicating they had an offer...is this followed up by a phone call or is there paperwork to fill out? Once you accept, what else has to be done?

2) If you got from the "good" waitlist...how long did you have to wait to get an offer? What was the procedure? How long did you have to respond? What did you have to do? Once you accepted, was there anything else you had to do?

3) Did anybody get accepted from the "bad" waitlist last year that you know of? When were they offered a position?

Thank for you for any information you can provide.

Peter

Greetings Dr. Hill (2007)

I believe that they will post acceptances here on the premed board since they have figured out it's probably the best place to find most of us


Take care Peter, and relax, I'm sure you will get the good news soon!

are you red sweater guy from the mocks?
if you are, i couldn't remember your name but your hilariosity (is that even a word?) is unforgettable.

OU812,

Where on earth did you hear they would post acceptances here? They wouldn't possibly do that...

Peter

ha! can you imagine - instead of putting a mailing address on your application, just writing, please contact me via the premed101 ezboard...i go by the handle of stargirl. thanks so much adcoms! :lol

p.s. OU812, the answer is actually 42

1) I got an email. It was sent out on May 31st. Hard copy documentation was sent priority and received the next business day. Subsequent acceptances (waitlist) were notified by phone and followed by the documentation. All subsequent information will indicate what more has to be done. There is a LOT of stuff to do once you're accepted...ie get proper vaccinations etc etc.

2) I can't answer this question but I believe that the good waitlisted people were notified as early as 1 or 2 weeks after May 31st.

3) There were a number of people accepted off the bad waitlist. They were notified around the beginning of July...but you can get a call as late as the first day of school. It has happened before.

Good luck!

UOMeds06, is it just people who get offers who get an email, or everyone? (or do you know?)
Martha

I might not have been very clear in my last post, UOMeds06. You said that subsequent acceptances are sent out by phone, but on May31st, does everyone get an email, or just those with offers?
Thanks

Hi Martha,
On May 31st, only those getting offers of admission get the email. The others wait for the snail mail to arrive informing them of their standing (good wait list or bad). If you get an offer from the waitlist, then you'll likely get a call.

In other words, if it was anything like last year, if you get an email on the 31st of May from the UofO, it'll be a good one.

Thanks UOMedsO6!
To everyone, I just thought of something. Is it possible that we may find out one day earlier than they did last year ... I can't seem to find it now, but I thought I was told that we would get offers on the last business day in May. This year, that means May 30th. I can't imagine that they would send out the emails on a Saturday, but then again I hope they don't wait until June 2nd .
Anyone know which it will be? It may seem a bit silly, but after waiting since Oct 15th, knowing that we will find out a little bit sooner would be very encouraging!
