Interviewed 2/4!!!

Since the regular admissions lady isn't in today, I was told that the director of ad said I should be hearing from her sometime next week with more details about the specific status of my application, but that right now it would be in my best interest to accept my other offer ( 2000 dollar nonrefundable deposit) and pay the deposit (due date near)
I'm assuming this is a rejection because a lot of you fellow sdners already received good news and waitlist news as well.
BUMMMER....

When is the deposit due? That sucks bro
Congrats on the new acceptances! Don't forget to join the facebook group for the class of 2017: http://www.facebook.com/groups/517559061629759/ . Also, if we could get some current students who might be willing to answer some of our questions and share their advice to join that would be great!
Congrats to all who are accepted and I look forward to meeting you in the fall!
Feels good!
I couldn't find a specific discussion on SDN, although my SDN-search-feature-fu is weak.
I also got into both programs but ultimately opted for TUNCOM for these reasons:
1) Distance from home. Although my family is in CA, they're actually closer to Vegas than to Vallejo.
2) The shortage of both physicians and medical schools in Nevada and especially Southern Nevada drew me in since there could be a lot of cool opportunities for hands-on learning without a lot of competition from other medical schools as there would be in NorCal. It would also give me a good chance to scope out the region as well since I ultimately plan to practice in the West outside of CA. TUCOM-CA has had some issues recently with competition from other schools, especially Caribbean, for rotation spots. So this was the biggest reason.
3) I got a very good vibe from the students at TUNCOM on my interview day. The TUCOM-CA students were definitely cool but I just felt my personality fit more with the TUNCOM folks. I know the sample size is small and everything but it definitely left an impression.
4) Location. I grew up in CA and returned here for grad school. I'm itching to leave and escape some of the political craziness. That's kind of more of a personal reason though. TUNCOM is also closer to the nearest real city.
5) Rent. Look up some of the listings.
The most substantial drawback to TUNCOM, in my opinion, is the campus. Unlike some I actually thought the TUCOM-CA campus was really cool. But when I thought about it, I realized it probably won't matter much since you only spend substantial time on campus for the first two years and when you are on campus you're indoors anyways.

Thanks for the responses atlas91 and guh. Definitely has me leaning towards TUNCOM 🙂
I agree with the above posters. I am currently medium waitlisted at TUCOM-CA, and if (big if) I got in, it would be a tough choice since I am from the Bay Area. It does sound like TUN has a better rotations set-up, but it's tough to really know the quality of rotations as a pre-med. I personally liked TUCOM-CA's campus a lot more, and I liked the students I interacted with at TUN more. I really liked the atmosphere that I felt at TUN. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Sorry to hear that bro. For everyone who's interviewing soon I'll be glad to help out by answering any questions you have.
Im interviewing on the 18th at 745am, flying in late sunday night and flying right out after the interview. I wish I had some time to see the sights.
Did anyone that got accepted last week get their acceptance package in the mail yet?
Nope, but I called to talk to them because of an address conflict for me, and they mailed them out on Tuesday, so you should get them today/tomorrow I'm assuming.
Thank you sir!
Definitely!!!!
I am 😀
My stats
26O, 3.57 GPA sci, 3.68 GPA overall,
Honors biology, chem/math minors

Anyone get in off the wait list recently?

just interviewed today. They said they haven't went to the wait list yet.
Official match lists take time to compile because they tend to be self-reported. They will be posted to www.tunlive.com when they're available, so keep an eye out during the next month.
I know of two: one matched UCLA Neurology, and another matched Yale Anesthesiology (not sure whether prelim or categorical).

Interview on 3/6. Anyone know if decisions will be made before or after Passover?
Three weeks is what Amber told me. Who had Dr. Ioudina and Dr. Tomlinson for interviewers? I had a great time with them ^.^ I also sent thank you notes overnight snail mail.
I had Dr. Tomlinson as one of my interviewers, real nice guy. I ended my interview talking football with him and Dr. Rennie.
we talked about different things, but we ended up talking about my math research and tutoring.
Eh, I overnighted thank you notes to them with my own work. I hope it was sentimental...I'm not too keen on emailing notes.
Thats good, He has a BS in mathematics probably enjoyed hearing about math research.
