LauraCH Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thanks @Nefelibata, yeah if you didn't get any interviews you can withdraw. Sorry I misunderstood you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousWalrus Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hey everyone, if you’re wondering what the heck is taking Thomas Jefferson and USF so long, fear not. I have called both schools. Here’s the scoop: For Jefferson: The administration will be releasing names and inviting people for interviews by the end of next week. As told by the admissions counselor. So keep your eyes on your email inbox. For USF: They will be sending out more invites by the end of today AND on Monday. PepperGC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon2beGC Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Has anyone heard anything from Arcadia? They sent an email a few weeks ago saying they were still looking at applications and they would let everyone know by March 15th, but I haven't heard anything. I emailed them too, but no one has emailed back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I was waitlisted at Northwestern. When do you guys think I should expect to hear back from them about whether or not I will be interviewed? I just want to know sooner than later so I can make travel plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspiringGC Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 If you are interested in sharing your responses, please submit below! I have left the responses able to edit as I know not all interviews have finished, so if you want to fill out now based on how you feel, you can always go back and edit after you've completed interviews. I will share the results once there are a decent amount of responses. Please be honest, but no trash talking programs (or individuals within the program!), I will delete those responses. It is completely anonymous though! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfveStRW-jk2FIeM0qE6w9L7gxkTFrdCP9KuZJwnjZjG1wZOA/viewform?usp=sf_link Lea123, bryvy and hfj23 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR18 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hello! I am a little confused about the "unmatched process" after someone does not receive a match on April 27. According to the AGCPD guidelines, it says that "unmatched applicants may then contact any programs to which they did not previously apply and which they have interest in attending". Is this to mean that we cannot contact programs that we applied and interviewed at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of the programs you interviewed at had open spots, it would indicate that you were not on their match ranking list. This means they flat out rejected you unfortunately :/ AJM19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Thank you email question--those of you who know what your top choice will be, are you telling them you're ranking them number one in your thank you email? or is that too bold? also i'm torn because i don't want to be a jerk, but i also don't remember the name and workplace of everyone who interviewed me, so i'd like to just send them to the program directors and assisstant directors.

I don't think you're allowed to tell them where you're ranking them, just that you are ranking them. This is from the rules e-mail they sent out "Neither party may disclose to the other party or solicit from the other party any information regarding the positioning of any applicant or program on a Rank Order List. For example, you cannot say "I will rank you first on my list" or "You are in my top-3 choices"." I personally haven't told any program that I'm planning to rank them, but I do plan to rank all the programs I interviewed with.

Is this to mean that we cannot contact programs that we applied and interviewed at? Yes, programs that you applied to and/or interviewed for may not be contacted after the matching process. I think this is because if they have open spots and you ranked them that means they did not rank you OR they have open spots and you did not rank them (and why would you not rank a program you wanted to go to). You can only contact programs that you did not previously apply to (even if you applied and they didn't offer you an interview). Basically starting from step one. Seems kind of scary but I guess its how to the unmatched process for residents goes as well. They call it "the scramble". GC2GC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfj23 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I was calculating tuitions the other day and NW's program came out to around $109,000!! I was blown away. Are they the most expensive program in the US or do you guys know of one that is more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their website also says work study opportunities are available, which reduces tuition by $3,000 per quarter. If you factor that in, the estimated cost of tuition is ~$75,000, which is similar to that of Stanford (and likely other private schools). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds very expensive, but I remember hearing that NW is up there I would definitely double check with the program if it seems high. Some programs are a flat semester/yearly rate and others are by credit-hour. Depends on the program and the school. Edit: There are two quarters / semester right? So it'd be 8-10 quarters for the degree. Edit 2: Okay I had to check. It looks like 6 quarters total? Very bizarre lol.

Students can get $18,000 remitted overall if they work but that still leaves them with a 90k tuition..more expensive than stanford!

Since it's -$5000/semester it would be -$10,000 for the first year. hfj23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At other schools, you don't usually pay, since you are just doing clinical rotations. I had assumed it was the same at Northwestern, but I could be wrong.
