Winslow Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Don't lose hope yet, they do it completely different each year, and Diana told me they were accepting people in shifts this year. We are still holding out for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Savage Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Somtimes they will put you on a waitlist... not the greatest but it gives you a chance. We had a military candidate that was selected and Uncle Sam called her back right before she was supposed to get out. She wound up getting deployed I think. Other people may have interviewed at mulitple schools and are trying to pick which one they want to go into. Sometimes they will use applicants that interviewed for one site and use them to fill a completely different site. We had one candidate that was on his third application to the Bachelors sites and he already had a degree so they offered him a spot in the Spokane Masters site. We had one candidate that needed accommidations, so they moved her from Alaska to Washington (Spokane or Seattle ...cant remember) to be with her Family. SO... you never know. All I can say is when you Drink the MEDEX kool-aid... it seeps into your soul and becomes a part of you =) Congratulations to all that have got "The Call" and keep your hopes up to those of you that have not yet. MEDEX loves re-applicants that have improved and readied themselves for such a monumental task.

wan2bdoc2 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 HEY ALL!!FROM DEC 1- YAKIMA BA PA.. I Have not heard anything either. Just taking a look at the BIG BOARD (forum). and REMEMBER THEY CAN'T CALL EVERYONE AT ONCE, SO WHEN THEY START MAKING CALLS IT COULD TAKE SEVERAL HOURS TO MAKE INITIAL CALLS...

tcd1976 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hey folks, I am a second-year student in Spokane, and I know a few of you here. I know it is tough waiting when you are seeing the great folks you met at your selection conference are getting the phone call that makes their hearts soar. Don't despair. This is a QUICK turn-around, and as others have mentioned, they can't call everyone in one day. Based on past years, there will be another interview later in the season (sometimes a composite in Seattle). Until you get a hardcopy "Dear John" letter in the mail, you are still in the hunt. I am a successful re-applicant, so "I know this, man!" I really believe that you are ahead of the game as a member of this forum. You were in the first interview for your site (best shot). If for some reason you are not accepted this year, CALL the program office after the application season has ended and ask why. Attend a re-applicant information session. Stay positive and keep your chins held high, everyone. MEDEX wanted to talk with you for a reason! I'll be thinking of you. CHEERS! ~TCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MediMike Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Cory it's good to see ya man! Didn't have any doubts. The fact that you and Joe (both out of the WWAMI region) got accepted, it shows how much you rocked it. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugmeyet Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Very exciting to see continued posts of those that received the call. I am waiting to hear if I will be selected for the Tacoma selection conference and all the positives vibes are encouraging my already high excitement.

jcowman Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hey all, I have not received a call yet either. I am patiently waiting and trying to stay optimistic.

cgbloke Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 From a post in the Tacoma Class 1 forum. Hope it provides a little information. To answer a couple of questions, to the best of my knowledge. The only thing mentioned about next round of interviews - they would continue through next month. I know it's vague, sorry. During the process last year I called when I wasn't selected for the first round and I was told they had picked the top 25 for that round. I don't know how many were picked this year for the first round but I'm sure not all will be accepted. The only thing MEDEX has to go on for picking who they interview is the packets submitted. Just because you look good on paper does not mean you'll fit in or impress the interviewers. The whole process, for the applicants, seems long (it is) and painful (it is that too ), but bear (never sure if this the correct spelling for the work I want to use) in mind MEDEX's process is tried and true over many, many years.
