Done.

Thanks for posting. Congrats to the MS4's! Is there a similar list for Tucson?

Not publicly available like Phoenix that I'm aware of. I think its unusual for a school to make the match list publicly available like that, but maybe they did it because it was their first match and it looks like a really good match.

We were given a copy of the match results from both Phoenix and Tucson, so I would imagine it's available somewhere. If you want an idea of it, you can always check out the video under News Releases for Tucson (and Phoenix's video might be there as well, I don't know). Just go to their website - it's there, I watched clips earlier today. 🙂

Thanks for the info. I saw some lists posted on the Match List thread from other schools, so I was just curious. It isn't a big deal though. Maybe people typed them out from personal sources and posted them on that thread.

Brrooother - thanks, I will check out the video clips.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. It has been really quiet here lately. Cheers 🙂

We are in the eye of the storm. Initial acceptances have already come and passed now we await the barrage regarding the wait-list. Then in the forecast, a trickling rain of those coming off the wait-list throughout the sprint and summer.

But then again what to the weathermen know?

That is a really good point and nicely constructed analogy. 🙂 Makes me think, I bet the weathermen in Tucson have a pretty sweet gig - sunny and warm, sunny and hot, sunny and hotter?!?! I hope those waiting get some good news in the coming weeks.

Thanks again. I just watched some of the video. They seemed happy and should be really proud! Plus watching all the kids in costume with their parents tugged on a heart string or two. Ok, can we just skip to this part? 😉

I was just looking at all the other schools' threads on SDN and only BostonU, Columbia, and Case Western have more comments on their threads. And Boston and Columbia have more than UA by less than 35 each. Pretty impressive!

I guess that means we are either neurotic or just that awesome! 😉

This thread also technically pertains to TWO med schools, not just one.

I hope one of the hopeful medical students on here receives some good news from the Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix campus this week because I withdrew my acceptance today.

It was such a tough decision, but I hope someone else on here gets the seat I gave up!

Cheers

Hey congrats! Looks like you got into another program of your choice. Would you mind letting us know if you were IS or OOS? Hopefully one of the SDNers picks up your seat.

Thanks! I'm a IS applicant.

Yeeeaaaah, GO CATS!!! What a SWWWEEEEEEEEET game! 😀😀😀

 

[Slack3r]

4 for 21 from 3-point range killed us against UConn though. Oh well, way better season than I ever anticipated.


But more importantly, anyone have a tenative release date for the UA waitlist?

I'm glad it was a good game to the very end. Too bad about the outcome. Assuming we don't lose too many to the NBA, our entire starting squad had no seniors. Look for great things next season!

I got that email too. I totally forgot to come here and post it. Thanks for picking up my slack.

For those that have been accepted to UACOM Tucson, join the facebook group. There are only 14 of us so far and we have had fun getting to know each other so far.

edit: to find it search for "The University of Arizona College of Medicine- Tucson Class of 2015"

Wow, someone matched at the hospital I used to work at in Fort Collins, CO! 👍 I don't remember her announcing it, though, and I watched the whole Tucson match video. Now I feel like she was ashamed of my hospital 🙁

I remember hearing her announce Poudre Valley if that is what you were referring to. I think that was it anyway. I have family in CO, so I know it stuck out in my head when I heard it. I think she showed her pride 🙂.

Probably because she knows you were once there.

Any news as far as when the waitlist is coming out? We heard a vague begninning of April a few weeks ago, has anything more precise been given out?

Thanks.

 

[BooRadley85]

so when i got my acceptance package to tucson i was informed to fill out a domicile affidavit to prove my arizona residency. Because I have been living out of state for the last 4 years while going to school, I was turned down and told I would have to pay non-resident tuition. I called the "Residency Classification Office" that handles this kind of stuff for the whole University and they told me that i just need to fill out another domicile affidavit and explain that I was OOS because of school. It makes me super nervous though that if i get rejected again, i may have to fork over the extra dough! Any one else fill out this form that completed undergrad OOS and not have a problem?

 

[UpperEastSide]

Any more news on when Tucson will release this waitlist? Will it be Friday or next week? Should i write a letter of intent now, before i know i am on the waitlist, or is that only helpful for people that are on it move up a few spots?

Thanks

 

[3up3down]

Called the UA Tucson admissions on Monday. The waitlist is supposed to be sent out sometime next week. The exact day was not specified.

Here's to hoping for a good spot on the waitlist!

Someone said that Tucson isn't accpeting LOI (as of the last couple months) and sending one won't change anything at this point because the waitlist is numbered so its not like they are going to change your number after you send a LOI.

Thanks for calling! It is nice to know that we have a set window in which the waitlist will go out. On the other hand, I was secretly hoping that it would be sent out this Friday.

But I guess after months of waiting, what's a few more days? Fingers crossed for a good waitlist spot for all of us!

 

[Cobblepot]

Anyone know if Tucson will accept update letters or ANY correspondence now?

 

[Origin]

Tucson will not accept any kind of letter.

 

[UpperEastSide]

Do you guys mind sharing your stats (IS/OOS, gpa, mcat) just so we all have some idea what we are up against.

Me: IS/ 3.8 GPA, 30 MCAT

 

[Cobblepot]

Tucson will not accept any kind of letter.

Yup. I called and this is STILL true 😀

Im sure at this point the waitlist is 99% determined, anyway.

 

[Limetime]

I just wanted to wish everyone good luck on the WL next week! I hope you all get nice high spots!

 

[UpperEastSide]

Anyone know any stats as far as how many people are offered a waitlist position and how the number of IS applicants?

 

[Brrooother]

You can check out last year's thread for the awesome graphs and other figures relating to waitlist movement. They were pretty good about keeping SDN acceptances organized and keeping track of numbers, so it might help you out.

Good luck to all of you hoping for good waitlist news!

 

[Limetime]

I don't know the exact figures for IS. There is a WL chart that was posted earlier on the tread that shows the WL movement from previous years. I think last year they pulled around 75 from the WL. I imagine they have to keep the 25% OOS limit throughout, but I am not sure how that works in the WL. Good luck!

Here is a post originally posted by Rustin Reed. I am unsure if he is the original compiler of the graph but it can originally be found in the previous years thread. Hope this brings piece of mind to those awaiting the waitlist results.

He is, but just went by a different name last year.

That would explain some of my confusion.

 

[shepardsun]

I have to say I'm pretty excited for second look. I think you guys are in for a treat getting to meet some incredible people like Salt and Phosphorus. I'm grateful every day to be going to the same school as they are.

I am so bummed I can't make it. I can't wait to meet everyone this summer though!

 

[Nevryn]

No worries, you are not the only one missing out. I too will have to wait to meet everyone come summer.

Are there any events or get togethers scheduled closer to class start?

 

[lakers MD]

It's April 1st, which means waitlist movement is right around the corner for the Phx campus! Here's to hoping for a good month for all of us on the waitlist 😀.

 

[Joker88]

Did Tucson give a specific date for the waitlist release or did they just say sometime this week? ahhhh that means it could be tomorrow!

It would be cool if there was something over the summer closer to class. I am still working out the moving date, but it won't be too much before mid July...dang responsibilities...lol.

As for WL, I wish you all good luck this week whenever it comes out, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Shout out to all the Tucson peeps! I can't wait for the coming weeks when this thread picks up again and welcomes some new acceptances!
