cutiepie Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Another one of my former classmates IMed me. He just got his MCAT scores back (he's just a senior) --> freaking 40T!!!! I really want my acceptance letter from U of C next week so I'll have something to cheer about. I mean, I'm happy for my friends and all, but this really hurts your self esteem after a while.

2009mg Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hey all...just thought i'd share what Nancy told me this morning. The acceptance e-mails are going out on May 15th (the tuesday - even though they said the 14th originally). As for the time....she said that she's going to be coming in at around 8:30 and getting organized and hopes to have all the e-mail out by 10. Hope this helps with some of the speculation. Hang in there...its almost over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want my acceptance letter from U of C next week so I'll have something to cheer about. I mean, I'm happy for my friends and all, but this really hurts your self esteem after a while. Haha, it's funny. If you're still in the running for meds at this point, then you're obviously a smart, somewhat well-rounded, and hopefully nice person. But we still all feel insecure and have low self-esteem sometimes. I guess the saying that there's always someone smarter and prettier than you is true! (Cutiepie - I'm not picking on you. I'm as much laughing at myself and my own worrying-ness as anything). Good luck waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said, well said Paulos!! Fear and desire ... just feeling weird ... sometimes I really have my hopes up and think that I will get in, but half an hour later, I would try to convince myself that it's not as easy as I thought, and to avoid being super-duper sad (in case it doesn't work out), I would tone down my expectations and just WAIT!

paulos Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Do you guys remember at interview the mention of new seats for this Fall's class? I wonder what's become of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiepie Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I think it's still 125 seats. There was a slight increase in seats last year, from 100 to 125. I heard that there might be another increase but I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redheadninja Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 SLIGHT increase from 100 to 125? LOL. Thats a 25% increase in spots. If they did that this year there would be an extra 32 spots available. Which would be super awesome... but I doubt it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps with some of the speculation. Hang in there...its almost over. From past experience, were the emails sent in bulk (i.e. three email templates and BCC-ed to all those accepted/waitlisted/rejected)? Or are they individualized? It would really take some time to send 125 separate emails (for those accepted) even if it's just about changing the email address and the name from one to the other. Either way, that's a lot of work for the admissions office ... and the pressure too. Wow ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who M.D. Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I quit reading this forum in March to go back to being productive. I've been doing fine. Vaguely aware of the impending deadline but not really giving it any time of day except when someone asks me when I'll know. Then I reply, and forget about it again. I stopped by now to check if there was any news on what time exactly we'd find out so that I could schedule my day to include an e-mail check at the appropriate time. And now reading all of you worrying, a little part of me has started to worry. Thanks guys and gals! Clearly the solution to this is to leave and not come back again until results are out so that I can go back to living in peace. This forum is what makes the waiting difficult. I recommend the rest of you who can't bare the wait go off and do something else. Anyway, thanks for the update 2009mg. I found what I'm looking for. To the rest of you, good luck! I hope you all get in! Moreso, I hope I get in (sorry for being so selfish ). I'll be back in a little over 2 days to hopefully congratulate all of you and to deliver my good news.

Not at all ,Who M.D., I think you've just summed up the feelings of everyone on the board... general goodwill for others, with a healthy dose of self-preservation, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac8 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 IP stats look pretty darn good, did someone say it's like 50% possibility? 50% really, that high? How do you figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 If you compare number IP interviewed, it looks like 50-50, maybe better if you got interviews at both schools, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioboy2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Not exactly. Approximately 300 IP applicants were interviewed and 106 of the 125 seats of the class of 2010 are reserved for IP. Probability of an outright acceptance from UofC = 106/300 = 35.3% A chance of acceptance likely jumps to 50%+ post-interview for an IP applicant when waitlist is considered, especially given that there is a large degree of overlap in who interviews at both UofA and UofC.

LightsEternity Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'm pretty sure they send out more acceptance letters than the number of spots offered, at least initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
