koalas11 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 So I was "waitlisted for an interview" twice ( I had to apply 3 times!!)...I received an email every month until August of the year school would have started just stating that I am still on the "waitlist". I was never called for an interview or anything both of those years and spoke to multiple people in this same situation who never received anything else either...I hate to say it, but to me it seems like they just leave people hanging in the off chance they can't fill seats. If someone had a different experience with this "waitlist for an interview" status please chime in. All hope is not lost though, both of those years I had 0, that's right 0 patient care hours... Oh wow. Well thanks for sharing your experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csue Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I am confused about the interview waitlist. From here on out do they only send interview invites to those that are on the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allygator11 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I am a little confused too. I have not received a rejection OR an email saying I was on the interview wait list. Does this mean I am still in the running for an interview or that I should be receiving my rejection shortly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody85 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 So I seem to have opened up a can of worms so i'm going to try and explain this as simply as possible...this may be disappointing to hear for some but i'm gonna give it to you straight... "Waitlist to interview"= Denial...I was placed on this status twice and received a monthly email from MCPHS stating I am still on the waitlist and will be notified if my status changes...nothing ever came of it. For some cruel reason they just seem to keep you on the hook just in case they don't fill all of their seats. I spoke to many other people in with this same status and NONE of them ever got an interview. Like I said before if someone has a different experience speak up, but this is the only outcome I know. For all of you other people out there who have not received any letters CHILL!!! Last year they sent interview letters out until JANUARY for an interview in FEBRUARY. I cannot stress enough that if someone has had an alternative experience to mine please speak up, but having been through this process 3 times I feel I have a pretty good idea of how things go..

Woody85 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I am confused about the interview waitlist. From here on out do they only send interview invites to those that are on the waitlist? No, all people on the "waitlist to interview" get skipped, until the very end if there are seats that need to be filled...see above post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arebo15 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 So, in other words, at this point, if you haven't heard anything at all, you are in better shape than if you've been told that you've been 'wait listed' to interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KS8930 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Has anyone received an interview who has an outstanding prerequisite? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, I did (biochemistry pre-requisite), although I'm currently enrolled in it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelsey lynn Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I was wait listed to interview and then got an email inviting me about 2 weeks later, so don't count yourself out if you got the same email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allygator11 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I called this afternoon and they said my application was still under review. The girl I spoke with said I would hopefully be hearing something within the next week or two. I have not yet received a rejection email or a waitlist email. I submitted my CASPA in June, so I am definitely anxiously awaiting some good news!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agatka15 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I submitted my application in the first week of September, the school send me an "under review" email on September 18th and I got an invitation for an interview yesterday (Oct. 7th). The first available interview time was December 8th and that's what I chose :). Congratulations on all the others who already got invited. Does anyone know the statistics for the school from previous years? Like how many applies and how many got accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandaPAC Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 It's fascinating to me, I've seen some of you guys around on other threats, some have been invited while i've been rejected and vice versa. Interesting to see how different programs look for different things in their applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor1011 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hi all, So I called today and asked about the status of my application. They told me a decision was made and I should know by the end of the month. Does that mean a rejection or could it be an interview or waitlist?

It could mean any of the three. I received a wait list email two weeks after my initial call. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
