I am getting super nervous as the clock ticks closer to the evening...
Good luck everyone! =)

Accepted!!! Have any of you who received acceptances today received an official email yet or seen a change in the portal? This might have been addressed over the phone, but I was having a hard time focusing with all of the excitement!
Need your input, SDNers
We have all been in a situation when a job, award, scholarship, etc was not offered and naturally we want to know why. What could I have gone better? What was wrong with my interview? Did I do something wrong?
In terms of medical school admission decisions, the same is true and every year, we receive hundreds of feedback requests.
Could you help me understand what aspect of your application do you most desire feedback by listing your top 3 things you'd like to know if you and I were having a conversation.
I am really working hard to find the right message that helps you move forward.

I would second these three...When I was declined admission last year I wanted to know the following 3 thing:
1. What did the ADCOM perceive to be my biggest weakness?
2. Did my personal statement/experiences adequately demonstrate my desire to be a doctor?
3. How did I perform in the interview?

I was looking back at last year's thread and Dr. Cunningham stated that they meet again and try to place an alternate who is substantially similar to the individual who dropped an acceptance. I'm guessing it's the same this year?
My understanding is that there are new designs in the works so hang tightThis is a silly question, but I have to ask. Has anyone been able to find UA-COM Phoenix swag? Like shirts or sweaters or whatever? There are a few things on the UA bookstore site but the only things available are sizes L and XL. I'm just trying to show my new wildcat pride!
On the admissions requirements page it says, "All required coursework must be completed no later than the Spring Semester." I haven't taken physiology and would only take it if accepted to AZ PHOENIX. If most acceptances go out in the spring, I don't want to waste money on the class hoping for an acceptance. Could I not take Physiology in the summer before matriculating if accepted?
Highly doubtful. School starts early July. It would be impossible to do any sort of summer semester before matriculation.
We're you wait listed, is that why you delayed taking the course?
when does your spring semester start? This year interviews and decisions are done by mid to late january.No I haven't applied. I am compiling a potential school list for this upcoming cycle. Does UAZPHoenix accept very many people before the start of spring semester? I can't really fit/afford/want to take physiology unless I absolutely have to.

If you're applying this upcoming cycle, you have lots of time to take physiology before potential matriculation. You would have this summer and all of next academic year before school would start in July 2015. If UA Phoenix is high on your list, it would be to your best interest in taking it as soon as possible at your local cc or university. Plus, it won't hurt to have an extra, very relevant science course for other schools anyway.
Congrats and thanks!I was accepted to UA- Tucson last night and will be officially declining my offer at UA- Phoenix. Good luck to everyone on the waitlist. I am sure my seat will go to a very deserving applicant!
Alright, alright...since the Gila monsters didn't do it...allow me to offer up this guy:

Crotalus atrox. Arizona is full of him and his evil cousins just lying in wait to pounce on unsuspecting, incoming medical students. I assure you, I am willing to brave this danger in your stead!
Decisions are rendered based upon your completed application. Updates/intent letters do not factor into the process. We will not likely have an update for the alternate pool until mid-to late May. Remember, April 15 is a deadline to declare, but the majority of schools utilize the May 15 deadline and as such, many students may be offered a wait list spot elsewhere as those programs experience movement. This is when we expect movement, if any.Hello Tara!
Is there anything we can do as "waitlisters" to show our interest in attending UA Phoenix Med this coming fall? I realize people are pulled from the wait list depending on who relinquishes their spot, but if sending in a letter of intent lets the committee know how much I would love to be a med student there, I'll send one in a heartbeat.
Thanks!
Should not have parked there.Well...this isn't looking good!
Don't mean to rain on any parades but when I went to second look back in April there were only 3 undecided acceptees in the crowd of 60ish acceptees that I met... Two of them have since confirmed their acceptanceWell...this isn't looking good!
Yea, it is what it is.Don't mean to rain on any parades but when I went to second look back in April there were only 3 undecided acceptees in the crowd of 60ish acceptees that I met... Two of them have since confirmed their acceptance
