Are they going to email us when they send the letter again? Or it will just be sent anytime by May 5 and we won't know?

I did. They sent an email to my school account around April 20th.Has anyone heard anything regarding financial aid at this point?
Accepted today after interviewing the first week of April. Letter dated and mailed 28 April. Shocked. Headed to Memphis this August.

Congrats! Does this mean final decision letters have gone out, or was this your first letter?
Congratulations! Did you get a survey e-mail last week as well?Accepted today after interviewing the first week of April. Letter dated and mailed 28 April. Shocked. Headed to Memphis this August.

Nothing here. No email that a letter has been sent either. I guess we should have a decision by the end of next week if they really are sending letters out by the 5th.anyone on the hold list heard anything yet?

I have a countdown going for it!The waiting is killing me!
During this past year off, I've worked as a scribe at an orthopedic group, and I met several people during interviews that had done the same. If your grades are fine and you're looking for a job to make a little money while learning a lot about how medicine is actually practiced (i.e. behind the scenes stuff such as dealing with insurance companies, learning about clinical management, etc.) then scribing is a solid choice. If you're looking for a masters program, UT has a Masters in Pharmacology that has a good acceptance rate into TN medical schools upon graduation.Just curious, for those on the "hold" list or the "wait" list, what is your plan B?

What about just working in something that isn't medical and continuing volunteering in the medical field?
Thanks! I have been trying to apply for jobs but there aren't many that are open that you can get without any kind of licenceThat's what I did during my application cycle. I managed a bar and volunteered at a clinic. I was able to talk about it a lot in my interviews and it was well received.

It might also be helpful to talk with the dean of admissions at the various schools you applied. Sometimes, they are very helpful in pointing you in a direction if you're looking to build your application within the next year. Hopefully, you won't have to though and we all get into medical school!
They updated the alternate FAQ document online. The waitlist is 248 this year, and they also updated the document to say that they have taken in the upper fifties of people off the alternate list the last two years. Also, has anyone heard anything regarding letters being sent out?

Yeah, just arrived in the mail. I live in Memphis though, so the turn-around is quick if they sent them out yesterday.

Ugh that sucks. I know the feeling. Still waiting on my letter from this cycle. Expecting the same. And the worst part is we have to wait until Monday to hear from Dean Strother or Mrs. Harris about where we stand on the waitlist.

You can call or email them.
So it did not tell you what third you were in? I thought they would at least volunteer that much. No use holding out hope if you are in the last third
...Are you sure about that? Based on the FAQ, they seemed to strongly suggest that they would not be telling people their positions
From the FAQ:
We do not inform alternates of their exact ranking or relative standing. As positions become available, notifications will be communicated via a telephone call followed-up with an acceptance packet. Please be sure the most recent contact information is on file....
did the outside of the envelope have any indication that it was an acceptance?I was accepted today after being on hold since late March. They never sent an email saying they'd sent the packet so I was definitely surprised. Keep on the lookout guys!

I'm top 3rd too. Hmm, I guess it's a waiting game. When does movement generally happen?I was only told top third. I'm assuming that means I am towards the end of the top third though since he did not go more specific like I have noticed before when students are 50 or lower??
