acceptance

Low paid IT Director to vet med? I’m an IT Director with about 25 years in the field. I worked my way up from help desk to systems/network engineering, and now into leadership. I’m in healthcare (community mental health), small team, about 280 staff total. On paper, it’s stable. Good benefits...

I was thankfully accepted into a T10 med school today earlier this week, but I had a question about a W I received last semester. Essentially long story short, I had to withdraw from my senior thesis class that was an elective, not prereq. I wrote on my 1° application about my thesis writing...

This thread is for discussing applications to Royal Veterinary College at the University of London in the 2025-2026 (class of 2030 hopefuls) cycle.

Does anyone know how much scholarship (along with acceptance) the UMich, Pitt, and Boston University typically give out?

Hey everyone, I have acceptances to these three schools. I really enjoyed my interview at BUCOM and OCOM. Orlando is nice, but I didn't really like Memphis as a city. However I feel like BUCOM is a stronger school based on curriculum and access to rotations. I know LMU is accredited, but it...

We’re thrilled to share that one of our students, Nicole, was recently accepted into the NYU College of Dentistry (Class of 2029)! She worked hard, stayed focused, and pushed through all the ups and downs of the application process. We’re so proud of her achievement, and we hope her story...

Hi all, I’m an OOS applicant to TMDSAS and currently facing a difficult decision. I’d really appreciate any insight or advice from those who’ve been in similar situations. Here’s the situation: I’ve been accepted to Texas Tech El Paso. I’m currently waitlisted at McGovern, Baylor, UTSW...

Hey I didn't see a thread for this PBP program for 2025-2026 cycle! Good luck to everyone!!

Thank you so much, Dr. Romano, Nancy, and the Orgoman Team. I couldn't have done this without you!!!

I was conditionally accepted via a post bacc with all the bells and whistles. They had me do Amcas Early assurance with an acceptance on CYMS up until the Friday before the summer program started. Financial aid was processed. All classes open on Brightspace. Added to school directory. I...

I was just accepted to a DO school, but I am waiting to hear back from 20 other MD schools. The acceptance requires that I send a deposit and sign an agreement to attend within a few days. If I accept this agreement, but get accepted to an MD school and say yes to that one too, what will...

I've applied to 24 medical schools this cycle from a broad list. Using MCAT of 518, I applied to 25% of schools at <25th percentile, 50% between 25th and 75th, and 25% at >75th. So far, I've gotten 0 IIs, 0 A, and so far 6 pre-II rejections. Here is my list: R Boston University Aram V...

Hello! I consider this a companion piece to the thread discussing post-II Rs. To preface, I was fortunate enough to get an II, despite my very choppy record (@Goro knows a lot about it). With that said though, I would like to avoid a fate that happened to me in a previous cycle – the dreaded...

I'm finally able to share my story with a happy ending. Four application cycles, 3 MCATs, 50+ medical schools, thousands of dollars on secondaries, tons of rejections, and countless tears/mental breakdowns later, I can finally say that I have been accepted into my dream school (a US MD program)...

1.) can residency be done in any state after graduating medical school? 2.) is there an issue with being the first inaugural class for a medical school? Will there be an issue with accreditation in the future? 3.) is there anything I should be know before attending Touro? I’m incredible happy...

Hi! I just wanted to start a thread for those who have applied to Samuel Merritt’s DPT program this cycle. Samuel Merritt’s website said we should be hearing back in December. We can exchange info on if anyone has heard back or their number on the waitlist. Good luck to everyone!

I have an acceptance from a decent DO school, whose orientation is early June. Meanwhile, I am on the waiting list of another 2 MD schools which I want to wait for. I currently work on a research project which I feel is difficult to find the correct successor within 1 month before DO...

Hi everyone, I interviewed with Pacific University (Oregon) about a month ago and was recently told I’m on the 1st tier waitlist. I am wondering if anyone knows how the tiers work (how many people are in the tiers etc). Also, does anyone know when the deposit is due for accepted students?

Hello! Is there anyone who is currently in the UNCO Biomedical program who is willing to inform me on the admissions process, curriculum, and their opinion. Trying to get into dental school, but it is not as easy with low stats.

Hello! Is there anyone who is currently in the Meharry MHS program who is willing to inform me on the admissions process, and requirements? I have applied to the dental school, but due to my low stats I want to look into applying to the MHS program. Would anyone be able to help me with what to...

I was accepted into the University of MN, Michigan, Iowa, and ASDOH on Dec 1 (yesterday), and I am struggling to decide between schools. Two important factors that I am considering is the cost between the schools and the pass rates of INBDE/NBDE. Does anyone know where I could find those rates...

Anyone else interview with NAU? If so, any idea on when we are supposed to hear back?

Really sorry if this is a an obvious question but: Recently, I was lucky to get an acceptance at a DO school. I am incredibly grateful for this of course, but there is still a good portion of time left in the cycle, and there are a few schools I am still holding out for. The acceptance requires...

Which medical schools require a Dean's certification after acceptance? I do not see a definite list around. I would like to have them ready after acceptance as my school is really slow in processing these forms after COIVD. Thank you!

I had made a previous post about an upcoming OAT and here's how I did: QR 390 RC 350 Bio 340 GenChem 340 OChem 340 Physics 350 TS 350 AA 350 I'm pretty happy with the scores - i've never had more anxiety from an exam and i'm relieved it's over. I'm applying this upcoming cycle and would...

If your school allowed you to defer acceptance for a year, no questions asked, would you? I ask this because after a stressful year, application cycle, and gap year job, I'm feeling burnt out. I 100% want to be a doctor, but I am also interested in pursuing other interests and traveling for...

Would notifying the admissions team that you plan to enroll in that medical school impact scholarships? Specifically, if this communication took place before financial aid information was distributed, would the medical school reduce the scholarship amount (since they don't have to compete with...

Hi everyone! I currently am deciding between University of Pittsburgh, Thomas Jefferson, and Boston University. Due to the pandemic, I have not been able to visit. I love BU on paper, but I'm not sure how I will handle Boston winters along with the steep tuition cost. TJU I like the location...

Do the majority of successful applicants send letters of interest, updates, call the admissions office of the schools they are interested in/waitlisted at? I have not done any of that this cycle and have seen many people on SDN regularly emailing/calling admissions and staying in close...

Hi SDN! Had pre-Dec interviews for 5 schools and got accepted to 4! I withdrew my acceptance to Touro and USC is too expensive to be an appealing choice so I'm now between UCSF and OHSU. I don't really have financial support from family, so I plan on paying for school through loans and any aid...

Hi everyone — I need some guidance in deciding what school to attend next year. I loved BU the most out of my interviews, but have read quite a few negative things about the school on SDN. Any BU students have feedback on this? In terms of financials, I would get in-state for Rutgers after the...

I've been struggling with personal life and I currently have 5 acceptances but they're to MD schools and they all say I need to maintain academic standard. My stats are uGPA: 3.0 with strong upward trend (~3.8 last two years) Neuro masters: 4.0 If I get two Bs it will be my first semester and...

Hi everyone, Do medical schools see it as something negative if I graduate in my undergrad institution in 5 years as opposed to 4 due to taking lighter classes per semester intentionally? Edit: This is my first time using SDN. So glad to join this community!

Hey all, thought this might be an interesting poll to gage where people are at right now. Also kept it anon in hopes that more people will engage! Mods-My apologies if this is in the wrong place.

Hi everyone, I just got into both SCCO and UC Berkeley for the class of 2024 :) But I am very torn between the two so any insight would be extremely helpful! SCCO Pros: - can save money on commuting; college is only 15 min away and clinic is even closer at 8 min away - great city/feel...

Hello all, Question for you - I recently received my first acceptance (yay!) however I have come across some seemingly conflicting information in the 2020 AMCAS guide regarding preliminary background checks. I'm wondering if you all know if the preliminary report (which I participated in this...

I tried to find a thread similar to this, but I couldn't, so I will ask here: So, most post-bac programs I have applied to (total: 6) wont sent out interview invites until next year. However, I just completed an interview (let's call it school A) and will hear back in the next few weeks and...

Hey Everyone, Whats the Best Site/PDF for Medical School Admissions Demographics? I know there are stats for MCAT and GPA but is there anything for age, ethnicity, sex yatta yatta...? I would really appreciate it. Plus if anyone has a pdf I would love if you could email me it at...
