Just wondering if you got the nod...hope you did...the wait is agonizing as I am coming to realize. I am heading to VCU on the 16th. Really looking forward to hearing about the program. It sounds as if they really have it together.

Later

g8rlimey..........they haven't given me the nod yet. The wait is about to kill me. I've heard that they might send some letters by the end of the week, but that's just hearsay. I interviewed back in October, so I have been waiting two long months. You interview next Monday? The interview is a very relaxed "get to know you" type of interview. The interviewers don't try to intimidate you, they make you feel very comfortable. You will do fine, I'm sure. When you are up there....tell them not to forget about me here in Mississippi...........good luck.

They keep kicking this can down the road don't they?

More "unconfirmed" info for you VCU applicants--thought I should share.....

Appears last phase of interviews was yesterday--for the early apps I think.

Last week I learned that they will be seating 24 students for next year's class. Appears 9 students have gotten the nod leaving room for 15 more.

Might expect a decision this week or perhaps you might want to call the school.....I'd call--A closed mouth never gets fed!

I called the school yesterday and I'm still on the "hold" list. They said decisions will be made soon......

Ohhh...so nerve wracking!!!!!!!!! I wish you the best of luck!!!

Hey all:

I interviewed there on 16 Dec, and we were told the admissions committee met on the 17th and letters of decision will be mailed on Thurs or Fri...BTW, I loved the school...very friendly and great opportunities for clinical experiences!

G8rlimey.....how many folks (applicants) were there with you?

mbrian46 · Dec 19, 2002

Well......I found out today that I did not get accepted to VCU, I am on the alternate list..oh well.......try, try again.

N2Bate:

There were 11 other applicants...

mbrian46:

Sorry about your luck, I too heard somewhat disappointing news today...G-town put me on their hold list until Feb., not exactly a no, but close enough. Oh well, onward and upward...

N2bate · Dec 19, 2002

Mbrian46......Keep your chin up! Many of us have suffered that first application rejection only to get picked up in a second round of number crunching--doesn't make being on the wait list any easier, but does provide solid hope for another shot. Where are you on the wait list numerically?

mbrian46 · Dec 19, 2002

I'm not sure where I stand on the alternate list. I haven't received my letter yet. MG emailed the news this morning. Do they rank the people on the alternate list or is it a pool they choose from?
