stoked about the free iPad 2 we will be getting in Tucson. They are running a trial to see how much using a tablet will help in medical school education.

No love for us at phx?! I want a free iPad 2!
 
My buddy (who is number 70) called today and they told him they are on number 69 on the waitlist right now

PER THE PHOENIX ADMISSIONS PAGE.

"The Arizona Board of Regents has approved allowing the Phoenix and Tucson campuses of the University of Arizona College of Medicine to admit up to 50 percent out-of-state students.

The adjustment comes as the College of Medicine – Phoenix prepares to move into a new building scheduled to be completed in July 2012. That expansion accommodates an increased class size from 48 to 80 per year in Phoenix, pending approval from the LCME.

The College of Medicine – Phoenix is the expansion of the long-standing UA College of Medicine in Tucson, which was established in 1967. The College of Medicine – Phoenix opened in 2007 and graduated its first cohort of 24 students in May 2011. The campus will have 192 students in the fall of 2011, all in the full, four-year program housed in Phoenix.

The campus is in the midst of expansion with the construction of the 268,000-square foot Health Sciences Education Building. A year into the construction, the building is set to be completed by the summer of 2012, allowing for the increased class size if approved. Plans are to eventually admit up to 120 students per year on the Phoenix campus. The $129 million Health Sciences Education Building will house lecture halls, classrooms, offices, clinical skills suites, a simulation center, labs and other amenities for the College of Medicine. It is also projected to play host to students from the UA colleges of Public Health and Pharmacy as well as a physician’s assistant program from Northern Arizona University’s College of Health and Human Services."

The only reason that I still check-up on this forum is to see if DorthyMantooth has been accepted yet.

Thanks everyone!! I am so happy to finally know what I'll be doing next year! And yes DorthyMantooth you're next!!
 
Dear 4 waitlisters in front of me:
Pretty pretty please let me know if you plan on attending UA if you get in. I really don't want to rent my house to Meow3 and then be homeless when I get in to UA mid-roadtrip to Oregon.
Best,
DorthyMantooth

P.S.
Admissions told me you are all in-staters. I'll buy you a beer if you reply 🙂
 
Just got in!!! #75! I will most likely accept this and come down to Tucson! Good luck to the rest of you on the list, and especially to you DorthyMantooth!

Woohoo! I am so excited for all the awesome people that are going to be in this class. Congratulations for everyone who has received their acceptance and good luck to those still waiting (I am crossing my fingers and holding my breath for you, Mantooth and Falafalo).

UACOM 2015 is going to be an epic class.
 
Do we know when the last day they will accept someone off the wait-list?
 
There are still a couple weeks left. I bet there will be a little bit of movement by the 28th.
 
Hey DorthyMantooth, in reply to your question, I'm #77, and I'm pretty sure I'll end up going there if I get in.
 
Just got in!!! #75! I will most likely accept this and come down to Tucson! Good luck to the rest of you on the list, and especially to you DorthyMantooth!

Congratulations!! I'm so happy that the waitlist keeps moving!

To those who got pulled off the waitlist recently (within the past few weeks), how long did it take U of A to process your financial aid stuff? Thanks!
 
Actually I'm basically positive I'd go there. I'm heading to DO school on the east coast otherwise.
 
Accepted today! #77! I'll see you all in 2 weeks. 🙂 DorthyMantooth, you're next!!

No way!! This is so exciting. Congratulations! I had officially stopped thinking about getting in until just now. I'm still going to start driving to Oregon tomorrow, but I'm all for turning around at any point. Thanks for posting! I really appreciate it.
 
Congratulations MsIrish! That is exciting. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Mantooth.:xf:
 
I'm in!!! I got the email this morning. I've made it as far as Barstow, ca so I guess ill just turn around. So crazy! Falafalo and dinoman you're next

WHOOO!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!! I can't wait to meet you at orientation. Please wear a nametag, so I can identify you.
 
I have been relying on mantooth to update the waitlist number the last few months. 🙂 I guess these next two weeks I will have to call and bother them myself. Where do I find their number?
 
congrats dorthymantooth! hope everyone on the wait list makes it, so close!
