aliss929 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 So, if we haven't heard a peep, that means we're rejected? I wish they would send out a letter, making it official. What did we pay the supplemental application fee for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did we pay the supplemental application fee for? Waiting is the worst part of the this process. However, relax :) Phone calls are still being made. Letters go out after this part of the process is done. Everyone gets something in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 @aliss - those who interviewed and are accepted get a phone call. Those who interviewed but are not among the first sixty chosen are sent a letter that says they are either an alternate (ie waitlisted) or were not accepted. The letters will probably be mailed either the end of December or sometime in January. IF waitlisted, the waiting begins again because those who have accepted and put down deposits on seats might still choose to go somewhere else. The 1100+ people who applied but did not interview will likely not hear anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbles35 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 i'm pretty sure everyone (whether or not u interviewed) gets a letter in the mail with their decision. but i'm not sure about the time frame. but like @greatcheko said its a total waiting game.

I find this very frustrating. Other schools have significantly more applicants than UF, but still manage to send an answer to each candidate. I guess it wasn't meant to be!

woodsters Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I would be very surprised if those who didn't interview get a letter. By default, if you don't interview, you don't get in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbles35 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I wasn't offered an interview last year and still received a letter. I think it took a while for me to get it, but if i remember correctly i still got one. But @aliss929 don't get discouraged...if this is something you really want then apply again (if that ends up being necessary). I didn't even get an interview last year, and this time I got in! even better i got that glorious phone call in September, so i didn't have to go through this terrible wait again.

Bubbles, thanks for the encouragement. Fortunately, I have a spot in the Emory PA Program. I'm just bitter. I felt that I was a competitive candidate, yet, I didn't even get an interview invite from UF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hey, none of us have a reason to be bitter we are all blessed to be able to apply. I had an interview this year but we are all strong candidates in our own way. I only applied to one school at least you had the foreknowledge to apply elsewhere. Emry is a great school be proud of this accomplishment, I know I am proud to have been at least considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolers Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Are they still calling people this week? Or was yesterday the only day? I interviewed Oct. 21 and 23 and still haven't heard anything back.. kinda anxious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Past experience has been that they like to try to get things done by Christmas break which starts at close of business on Friday. I am NOT an insider so I do NOT know what they are doing this year. I do know that the first year students finished the semester today and the second years finish on Friday so in addition to trying to finalize the class of 2016 they are doing end of semester business for the class of 2014 and 2015. It's a busy week so hang in there! I have a friend in the class of 2014 who received his acceptance phone call on a Friday night at 7 pm. Until waitlist and rejection letters go out, everyone still has hope :-) HANG in there! And don't forget that a lot of us have to try two or more times to get in. If it's your dream, it is worth every bit of the wait. Several of my shadows applied this year and two of them are still waiting to hear. They aren't on the forum so if I hear from them I will post on here. Otherwise, just keep checking to on the forum to see if anyone has posted. GOOD LUCK!

amonden Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hey, none of us have a reason to be bitter we are all blessed to be able to apply. I had an interview this year but we are all strong candidates in our own way. I only applied to one school at least you had the foreknowledge to apply elsewhere. Emry is a great school be proud of this accomplishment, I know I am proud to have been at least considered. Well said paramedic. Any interview, or any word at all from any school should give an applicant hope. At that point, you know that schools are interested in you, and you are doing the right things. Whether you are the 'right fit' or not is completely up to the program. I am more than honored to have been a part of this amazing process. If anything I grew a TON by the interview. I learned that the interview is not just a one-way street. The applicant is just as much interviewing the school as the school is interviewing the applicant. I also learned that I needed to be more confident and comfortable with myself, my application, and accomplishments to truly shine. UF was a fantastic start to my interviewing process and allowed me at the very least to get accepted into three programs this year (after only being wait-listed last year). Don't be discouraged in the least bit. If something is truly your dream, it will happen if you work hard and truly want it. Some things just weren't meant to happen when you want it to happen. Time may be just the answer (for experience at the very least). Best of luck to everyone. Although I am one of many to be waiting for my call, I am honored and humbled by my experiences. Thank you to everyone (especially GC and Woodsters) for being so incredibly helpful throughout the process. You all are what make UF so different from the rest. @ Paramedic. You are a good and true character. I know you will do well in your future, and I hope you keep in touch! It was a pleasure to have met you in the interview!! Good luck to you! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Does anyone know if all decisions have been made? I am ready to stop waiting for a call, it is killing my psychy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'm sure no one on here knows. You won't know for sure it's over until you get a wait list v. rejection letter. And if wait listed, the waiting begins again! I haven't heard from my two shadows but I'll let you know if they hear something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 The second year students just finished up their end of rotation day this afternoon so hopefully the committee will be meeting this afternoon :-) Hope you hear soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica Mills Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Is there anyway they would meet next week or is today pretty much the last day we would find out if we got accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 technically it could happen as late as the end of January. In recent years they have tried to finalize by Christmas break so I am hopeful for you all. That's why I said you wouldn't know for sure it was over until you get a phone call or a letter in the mail confirming your status. None of us have any way of knowing what they are doing, you can only hope :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Well final decisions were made, I got my rejection letter today. Congratulations to those accepted, understand you are the best, be proud of your accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
