Seems like past offers went out on Mondays. I'm curious to see if people are getting them today.

you mean DA or WL lol?

 

[Mike Mitchel]

[Mr.Blinky]

On deferred list too, didn't hear anything.

 

[Mr.Blinky]

Got a call just now that I was pulled and I accepted. I was given 24 hours to accept, maybe because I already paid the $3k deposit. Good luck everyone! Hope to see you soon.

 

[freddent]

Just got accepted!

 

[kliavosh]

Congratulations! Did you mean "pulled off the DA List"?

Where do you go to pay the deposit? It's not on the BCOM portal.

 

[Mr.Blinky]

Where do you go to pay the deposit? It's not on the BCOM portal.

I paid mine by mailing a personal check via certified mail with the USPS. If you want to pay via credit card, I think you have to call them. I remember Adrian telling me that there is an extra $79.50 charged by the CC company. I wanted to avoid that.

[PunkRockMD]

Yes.

 

[Blue2016]

Hey guys quick question from a 17-18 applicant. I'm interviewing here in August and wanted to know if anyone who's currently waiting to hear back has been waiting since august. Would BCOM keep someone on the waitlist that long?

Yes almost all schools keep the waitlist active all the way until the white coat ceremony. With that being said, if you're really low on the waitlist they may release you when it gets closer. I know some already got released for this year.

Don't worry, I just talked to Adrian and he said there are still 12 people on the DA. The girl that said she got pulled off the waitlist meant the DA

No sorry but I didn't ask him all that. I usually talk to him once every week or two so if I get an update I'll post.
