No interview from REMS, PSU and no email from GWU either.

@Me4college
@Dildil
I don’t think the information we got about GW interview notifications being sent out today was entirely accurate.

Daughter received an interview letter for UTSA FAME program yesterday PM. Interviews February 3rd.

Congratulations to all who got interviews and good luck!

@chasingmymd1‌ ; Really and why ?

@Dildil
His/her post has been taken down. I also made a post about how that user might have been fooling with us and that post was taken down too.

thanks @chasingmymd1 I hope so. It already is such a roller coaster ride.

Thanks @chasingmymd1 for clarification.

@upstream
Could you please give the stats for HPME?

Also did anyone get REMS? I know I’m out of the running but I’m curious as to what caliber of students they’re interviewing.

@lifeishard

I applied to Caldwell and my applicant portal says I have been accepted two weeks ago and am interested in the BSMD program, but I haven’t received any email about the program.

Got rejections from U of Rochester and Penn State yesterday :frowning:

D was also rejected from Penn State yesterday.

My D is also rejected from Penn State, they more look at in-state students.

My Son was also rejected from the University park campus. Last year it was not like that. Most of the applicant of the combined program at least got into the undergrad at University park.

Looked like a change in the policy and/or @Agooddoctor is right about in state bias.

I guess most applicants would not go to Penn State undergraduate without combined program acceptance, thus the final yields were very low; then possible policy change.

Rejected from RPI/AMC… :’( why do I even try…

@innocentwanderer‌ did you get to submit the supplemental?

@innocentwanderer
How did you find out? Email? or did your applicant portal change?

@jb9832
Did you submit the RPI supplement?
