Congratulations!

Would you be willing to share your stats? 

Also, did they say anything about when other offers should go out by? 

Thanks ?

My undergrad classes are older as I’m an older applicant, about 8-10 years ago.

They didn’t say anything regarding other offers.

My app was verified 6/18 and sent in the supplemental app and GRE before that but never received a confirmation email! Unless the supplemental application fee receipt is the confirmation?

I received an automated e-mail back in June saying "Application Complete and Ready for Review." It was from a webadmit.org e-mail address. Did it maybe go to your junk mail? If not, maybe you should contact them.

Hi guys so I just submitted my supplement app and have been verified since September 3. My stats are overall undergrad 2.94 and science undergrad 2.4. I have 1149 Patient care experience as a scribe and technician. Ive also interned 560 hours at a nursing home. I have a total of 308 for my GREs. I just wanted to compare my stats and see if anyone has similar stats to me or had any luck of getting invited to an interview?

Same boat. 3.18 cGPA and a 2.78 sGPA. ~7000 PCE in the Air Force as a med tech and 1000 HCE as a study coordinator. 304 on the GRE. Mostly rejections so far. Right now I'm just anticipating having to work on my application for the next cycle, So I've just been taking courses to improve my sGPA and overall application.

has anyone been rejected? i applied to knoxville and havent heard anything either way

Last cycle, they didn't send rejection letters until May. Based on if they are still doing what they did last year, they have interviews almost every month until then. If you applied to the Nashville campus, the admissions representative can tell you if they have reviewed your application & given a decision. I'm not sure if Knoxville does the same.

I emailed Garrett to ask about the status of my application and he said that it has not been reviewed yet. I was a little confused because people who submitted their apps after me have already been reviewed and I'm wondering why that is. Is this a bad sign or have they just not gotten around to it? Do I still have a chance?!

I emailed about my application too for the Nashville Campus, and Garrett offered a personalized review of my app via phone. It was actually a super encouraging thing since I was worried I had been too late in applying! 

He informed my application hadnt been reviewed yet, so I obviously wouldn’t be in the first set of interviews (since those invites already went out) but I still had a chance for any of the future ones! I applied in September so statistically it makes sense I have to wait. Let’s try to stay positive, fellow friends, while we wait! ?

I don't think it's a bad sign that they haven't reviewed it yet. I submitted 08/15 & Garrett said it would be around the beginning of November before they could review mine so I would continue to call every 3-4 weeks to see if your app has been reviewed and given a decision. Best of luck!!
