LeQuack Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 OK, so there are a handful of schools that were at the top of my list that I still haven't heard from. I applied everywhere by mid-June... At this point I'm wondering if it would be a bad idea to send an email to these schools, emphasizing my continued interest. I thought this was a bad idea with how busy schoola already are. My sister (current resident) says otherwise, but I've been trying to tell her that med school admissions may not be the same as PA school. Add to the fact that there are way less seats. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated If there is no guidance on their website and you haven't heard in several months, I see nothing wrong with contacting them to follow up. I would probably call if it was me."Hello, this is so and so. I applied for your next class and just wanted to follow up." You can make sure they got all your LORs etc and also ask when they hope to get back to the applicants This should not reflect poorly on you -- if you don't do it over and over. You're an adult and you're just making sure everything is ok and asking politely what their decision cycle is.Good luck!Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boli Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I don't think it would help you, but I also don't think it would hurt you (assuming you pursue it professionally). I'd be surprised if you got something back more than the canned "we are reviewing each application as fast as possible and appreciate your patience" answer though. June to October is not that long of a wait. If I were you I'd just be patient. The schools assume you're still interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Asking won't improve your chances. That isn't why you would call. You call only to verify it's all in and get an update. It's a one-timer and would not be viewed as offensive.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeQuack Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Thanks to everyone who responded! If I do follow up, I'll just call like UGoLong suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
