Discover Your Odds of Getting into Medical School
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Has anyone who interviewed on 3/16 heard anything yet? If I remember correctly, they said we should receive their decision sometime between 4/1 - 4/5

Deferred today also after interviewing late March. What is the benefit of this over a waitlist?

I think that only benefit is getting re-reviewed. But then again is that really a benefit?

I’m guessing that they’ve sent out a certain number of acceptances and are waiting to see how many commit/withdraw, then filling those spots with deferred applicants prior to the waitlist

Has anyone been waitlisted though? I feel like I’ve only heard of people being deferred so far

Yea, that’s probably the next step. So I imagine they try and fill their class with deferred applicants late in the cycle, and then the rest will be rejected or waitlisted. Just a guess though.

Anyone know when scholarships/aid comes out? Looking specifically at merit, need, and Maine track aid comes out?

Got a “Tufts scholarship” of a nice chunk ~$16K. Anyone get the Maine scholarship yet?

Thank you! Just waiting to hear if anyone has gotten the Maine one. As an OOS idk my chances and I really want to give Tufts Maine a shot/a visit later this month. But if I don’t get that, unfortunately will need to withdraw as it just isn’t financially viable :/

“We’ve set a department-wide goal to have the majority of incoming MDs packaged prior to TUSM’s “First Look” Day on April 7. Admitted first-year students should have their financial aid offers by April 30, at the absolute latest.” From my email with office of financial aid.

Someone posted in this thread on 3/25 (a few pages back) that they had emailed admissions asking about the Maine Track scholarships, and they responded saying that they had already been awarded. Sorry about the bad news. :(
 
If any current student could answer these questions I’d appreciate it:

1) Are the exams at the end of each block NBME exams or written by the professor?

2) # of mandatory clinical activities per week e.g. clinic, inpatient rounds, during the preclinical years

Hi! I'm a current MS1 at tufts. Exams during each block are written by the professors. I have only done my pre-clinical stuff so far so unable to help with clinic/rounds info but we have about 2-3 mandatory small groups/classes per week. This number obviously varies - had a ton of mandatories in renal block but on average I would say 2-3!
 
Oh no.. so I’m assuming that me not receiving the WL email just now (deferred since December) is probably meaning I’m getting the R :(
 
Maine Track Withdrawal. Good luck everyone!
