***Official Thread for 2015 BSMD applicants***

I’m still yet to be accepted to just Drexel itself which worries me…I applied in like october…

@mangoes9 , for my D though she has been asked and paid the $150 fee for Dxl, her UG status is still says under review, that has not change.

There are others who has paid fee too but I am not sure what status they have.
Hope you get the email soon to pay $150.

@mangoes9 same with my D. Her UG status did not change even she paid her $150 already.

@GoingToMedSchool‌ . Thx. Chked the uab.edu emails. None there. Let us hope they announce it in email instead of USPS.

New here - is there a thread for the Texas BS MD programs or should I start a new one?

Welcome @rpateltx this thread is for all BS-BA/MD programs.

Just called Siena and UAB. The status is only available via letters. I don’t understand in this day and age they have everything automated but somethings still need to wait for letters.

So I checked my UAB email and the email invitation for the interview was there.

It took forever for me to login because the email system is very convoluted and apparently I had to activate my account prior to logging in.

The deadline to RSVP is today at 5 PM…

Has anyone else received the email invitation for an interview from UAB? I am wondering if my S did not get the invite until now, it means he is not going to get it?

@dadofd‌ @Me4college‌ thats reassuring ty! its weird how they do it in batches…some people are scheduling interviews while others are yet to be admitted to the university.

For anyone doing Penn State Jefferson, if I haven’t received an interview notification yet, does this mean I was waived and am being considered for admission to PSU main instead?

“We are in the final stages of review and an admissions decision will be posted here in the coming days.”

@ThreeRIvers‌ I have the same notifcation in the Penn portal.

Mine still says “We are reviewing your credentials for the Accelerated Premedical-Medical program. A decision will be available here as soon as one is made.”

Same here - “We are reviewing your credentials for the Accelerated Premedical-Medical program. A decision will be available here as soon as one is made.” Did anybody call them to find out?

@rororoyourboat‌ how did you access UAB email? I have a functioning UAB Blazer ID and passcode but for some reason i cannot log in to the outlook email. Please advise.

jmarkel - Did you get the call yesterday or you had your interview yesterday. If it was call, what is your interview date.

@rororoyourboat‌ never mind. I opened my UAB email…and no interview notification.

I’ve heard that EMSAP gives out very few OOS interviews, not sure what the exact numbers are. I called the admissions office though and they said that they’re still reviewing apps at this point so don’t lose hope!

@upstream‌ do you know how many of the 800+ people get their app forwarded to the med school for review?

@faymer‌ how’d your interview go?

And yeah I still haven’t even been admitted to Drexel but they sent my file to the med school and I paid the $150 a couple of weeks ago.

envro55 - what is snail mail - How did you get the rejection - email or postal mail
