yeeewww Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Has anyone's application verifiers been contacted yet? I have not heard from my verifiers, and we are now approximately one month out from decision letters (forecasting March 4th). Let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard from any of my verifiers either - you're not alone! I'm curious to know if they're done with the verifying or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeeewww Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Strange. I would think at this point that some applicants' verifiers would have been contacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falstaff Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Would verifiers be contacted, even if you weren't going to be offered a seat? I guess what I mean to ask is, is having a verifier contacted a good sign, or no sign at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downinggr Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Not a sign. Verifiers in the past have let me know they have been contacted but I haven't received an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premed_67 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 To follow-up on this, has anyone ever received an offer but not had their verifiers contacted? I assumed that if your verifiers are contacted, it means you met the cutoffs (e.g. for the interview). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_go Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Yes. Usually verifiers being contacted means you will probably get an offer or be waitlisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past I have found no such connection - with verifiers contacted at times that cannot impact acceptance choices. Always looking to refine our understanding of things and I would definitely say it isn't a bad sign not to have your verifiers contacted - there are just way too many people and the checks have appears random to me.

Chels1267 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I honestly cannot remember where I saw this, but I believe verifiers are contacted at random and just for the purpose of keeping people honest? As in, your verifiers could be randomly picked to be contacted so don't lie lol. Still trying to find where I read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefullyafuturedoc Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 That's likely it. I just think it's a lot of work for people you will be rejecting anyway lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually read something "official" that said only the verifiers of applicants who met cutoffs would be contacted. I have had a few people tell me that they think it's the case. I was thinking more along the lines of why would they bother calling the verifiers of someone who is automatically disqualified for not meeting some other cutoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what to think in terms of post-interview contacting I think it is a good thing if your verifiers were contacted as it feels like progress in this dreadful process. However, I am not too worried if my verifiers are not contacted. I definitely go back and forth on my position haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
