I called their admissions office and they said "you can send us stuff, but we're so backed up that I cannot guarantee anyone will even read it."Does VCU accept letters?

We use in-house exams - hit or miss in emulating the boards but we also have a 95% pass rates on step 1; we get Uworld starting our M1 spring (you have 10 question quizzes every week but its graded based on completion). 2-3 days a week there are mandatory things - they never take more than an hour. Most lecture are recorded except for TBLs and other specific lecture but for those lectures, slides are always posted - lecture is always streamed in real time via zoomAre there any current students on this thread? I have some questions regarding the school (such as the use of NBME vs in-house exams, mandatory lectures or lecture recordings, getting housing, etc). I am not really able to find this information anywhere online, but if someone is able to direct me to a resource, I will be eternally grateful!
Last year, the first movement started April 25th, so I wouldn't hold your breath until the end of the month.any waitlist movement yet?
I’ve gotten nothing either lol but im not gonna worry until mayHas anyone else accepted last month not gotten their V# or e services login info yet?
Honestly, yes. At this point they have probably finalized the order of the waitlist and the admin office has told some people they probably won't even look at them because they are too slammed with emails.Would it be too late to send in another LOR or update if you're waitlisted?
Should but takes some time, were you IS or OOS?Withdrew my A - do we get deposits back after withdrawing?
They let me know next week they will be sending us info regarding this.Has anyone received any information with regards to prematriculation, such as health clearance documentation, creating our school emails, aka things that we need prior to even being registered? I haven't received anything yet, and I dont want this to hold me back from enrolling...
you noticed above that several people withdrew today, admissions committee might have to meet to see how many open spaces they have now to offer to WL people. Should be soon thoStill no WL movement?
I am not sure if there is still a committee that meets regularly after they finalize the waitlist, but for some reason waitlist acceptances were exclusively sent out on Tuesdays and Thursdays last year.Does anyone know what day the committee meets? Is it Monday
You understand it rightCan someone confirm I am doing this correctly? I currently hold two acceptances and am on the alternate list for VCU, my top choice. Because tomorrow is April 30, I now have to “Plan to Enroll” at one of my schools, withdraw from the other, but *can remain on the alternate list at VCU*. Correct? I hope the plan to enroll does not influence wait list movement.
I have read the policy 10 times but since it is so important would just love someone to confirm!
just curious, but it seems like most IS people that were accepted to both uva/vcu end up choosing uva, so why even hold on to both acceptances in the first place if you know where you want to end up? like what are ppl waiting for lolWithdrew IS A! I received a $25,000 per year merit scholarship here and hope it gets redistributed to one of you. ❤️
Also: I know there have been convos about WL movement not being as good is compared to oos. I have IS several friends who were accepted to uva and vcu and are planning to drop their VCU As by tomorrow. Hang in there friends and good luck everyone!
Apparently they were waiting to get financial aid infojust curious, but it seems like most IS people that were accepted to both uva/vcu end up choosing uva, so why even hold on to both acceptances in the first place if you know where you want to end up? like what are ppl waiting for lol
ohh makes senseApparently they were waiting to get financial aid info
I have multiple A’s (Not VCU), but I’ve been holding on until April 30th since FAFSA was delayed and schools havent sent out financial aid, scholarships, etc. even now, had one school that sent out first wave of scholarships today (didn’t get any unfortunately, so will drop that by tonight), but it certainly was much worse this year because the govt messed up FAFSA and didn’t send out to schools even three months into this year!just curious, but it seems like most IS people that were accepted to both uva/vcu end up choosing uva, so why even hold on to both acceptances in the first place if you know where you want to end up? like what are ppl waiting for lol
Absolutely, so I was waiting on financial aid and did not know where I wanted to end up without getting a clear picture of finances. Ofc this was screwed quite a bit by the major FAFSA delays. I’m a 0 EFCer and a first gen student, and I have significant ties to both institutions that go beyond any sort of ranking. Having just received a significant external scholarship last Friday and my FA letter last week, I’ve confidently made my decision today. That’s a pretty quick turnaround if you ask me lol. Best of luck to you 🫶🏽just curious, but it seems like most IS people that were accepted to both uva/vcu end up choosing uva, so why even hold on to both acceptances in the first place if you know where you want to end up? like what are ppl waiting for lol
way too quiet. in the past years' threads, waitlist movement started like mid-late April and we know they have had spots to fill over the past few weeks. I suspect there is some internal problem going on, maybe related to the FASFA delay.it's too quiet....
The FASFA delays have royally screwed everything up. We will just have to wait a bit longer, as hard as that is.way too quiet. in the past years' threads, waitlist movement started like mid-late April and we know they have had spots to fill over the past few weeks. I suspect there is some internal problem going on, maybe related to the FASFA delay.
I was OOSany instate As?
I did, one in March after my interview and one this past Monday - only interest/updates thought, not intentthose who got accepted off the waitlist, did you send any letters of intent/interest?
I'm hoping they're not over with the IS movement already since last year IS WL movement was before the April 30th deadline and after it was by and far large OOS onlyany instate As?
One weekFor people who just came off waitlist how long were you give to make a decision?
kind of weird no one has reported any instate As yet...hopefully they are coming soon! Congrats to all the new As!any instate As?
