So were 300 seats released by March 15th? Kinda sucks we are either gonna get NFAd or rejected....I didnt see someone answer this plainly, so I'll go ahead, but forgive me if I'm repeating someone else. All spots are required to be offered by March 15th per AAMC. Students are allowed to hold multiple spots at different schools until May 1st. Interviews go until mid April. All of the people interviewed at the end of February (after the regular February meeting), through March, and into April either get NFA'ed or rejected. Before the May 1st date, a "rank list" is made of every one of the NFA'ed people, regardless of when they interviewed. After May 1st, when students who are going elsewhere give up their spots, the spots are then filled in numerical order of the "rank list". Anyone not offered from the "rank list" then becomes the "waiting list".
- There may be any number of spots opening up after May 1st (from 5 to 50 is what Eubanks said)
- They do not tell you your ranking on the list
- Some of the people on the rank list accept spots elsewhere and that spot is then offered to the next person on the rank list
- The waiting list is for when people accept spots, but are on the waiting list elsewhere and get in elsewhere after the May 1st deadline. Their spot is then offered to the next person.
The next meeting is March 24th. They will discuss all of the people that have interviewed since the last time the committee met. There will be another such meeting in April. In May, there will be the advocacy meeting where ALL NFA people will be discussed. So expect to either get rejected or NFA'ed, then if by mid May you havn't heard anything, then you're on the waitlist. Eubanks said that about 425 people interview and about 300 offers go out to fill the 200 spots.
....Stay thirsty my friends

So if he said 300 seats are offered and only 200 seats have been released bY march 15 isnt there still 100 seats remaining...I'm sorry if I'm beating a dead horse here...200 but yes.

So I just called and apparently people were accepted last friday who interviewed before the march 15 deadline....so who knows now haha
LSU has hands down been one of the more complicated to understand med schools hahaI think that they accept 300 people people for a class of 200 because they expect about 100 of those people to go to other medical schools and withdraw their acceptances. The 200 seats that they have offered so far will look "nothing like our final roster" is what they told me on interview day in March.

Yes I asked her that specific question and she told me people were accepted. Maybe its due to the 300 seat offer thing but they have to fill 200 seats by march 15th. At this point i gave up and just accepting whatever happens
Exactly! Haha it's whatever at this point! I'm just waiting for that letter hopefully this week!
But, just to add to the confusion lol, the whole 300 thing is probably in total and rolling. At any given time they can't have out more than 200 (their max number of seats) just in case all 200 decide to come. But, as people reject the offer they send out another acceptance. Which makes sense.
Regardless, I think you and I are on the same page... #FingersCrossed & Goodluck!
Do you think the letters are going out this week?

Alriiiight! Congrats! Where did you decide to go?
And no clue. I haven't been fortunate enough to have that problem. I'm sure Mrs Paulette at admissions can help you with that one though.
I have no clue where that 300 figure came from
I definitely feel that. I'm sure the letters will be coming soon. Here's hoping for the bestI got the feeling a few extra offers go out to fill the 200 by March 15. Then, in May, as people are being offered on the rank list, some of them are going elsewhere and it goes to the next person. So, even after the March 15th deadline, the rank list is actually bigger than the actual number of people that will actually accept a spot there, e.g. people lower on the rank list with get a shot.
Nothing from here either guys and I also live somewhat close to the medical school...I'm sure we'll here soon though! I just hope I don't get NFA'd....I'd hate to have to wait even longer
Yeah. It's no fun lolNothing from here either guys and I also live somewhat close to the medical school...I'm sure we'll here soon though! I just hope I don't get NFA'd....I'd hate to have to wait even longer
Why would they be sent from Baton Rouge? Isn't the medical school in NO?The letters are sent from Baton Rouge so they'll take a day or two longer to get to New Orleans. Good luck!
" Ours not to reason why....." Honestly, don't know the reason for it. But my acceptance was postmarked BR. And the same has been said in the past cycles as well.Why would they be sent from Baton Rouge? Isn't the medical school in NO?
I live pretty close to LSU. Mail already came today. No letter. Womp

I'm assuming they said that in your interview?They said they wouldnt send out letters until mid week this week. Not anticipating anything until at least tomorrow.
I feel like the vast Majority are gonna be nfa. How did you feel your interview went?interviewed late February and got my letter today. NFA
I wish they could just tell you when you called....it seems so roundabout getting paper mailI just called and they told me the letters were mailed yesterday!
(Unforuately for me, it was my old address so mine may take a little longer now! haha)
NFA'd, letter dated March 28, single letter envelope. I think that takes care of all the questions, lol. Also, I walked up to my mail lady and asked for my mail today. How's that for neurotic??
