sorry to hear that, it sounds like they could really improve the way they handle rejections and stuff and I wish there was a way to give them feedback.

I think they waited until now because it's after May 15th, and if for some odd reason they had a bunch of people go to other schools, they might still need to hold extra interviews, so they wait until they know their class is full to send out rejections. Still, they can still improve communications to everyone waiting.
No chance. Even at top schools there is movement. I expect significant movement sometime, I just wonder when?! And why there hasn't been any to date?
Maybe they are waiting for the "dust to settle" with the wait lists at other schools and then go through the effort of calling people off the wait list just once rather than each time someone drops from their list.
I'm just speculating though...

Well, I called office last week and asked. They don't over accept, and there are spots to be taken. The data here on sdn supports this. Last year there were 10+ acceptances reported here on sdn after may 15. I just can't figure out what the hold up is!?

I know last year's cycle had the UMMSM@FAU acceptees get dumped into the miami class, yet there still was a decent amount of movement around the 15th. I really hope that this ranking is the cause for the holdup :/
Is anyone looking for a roommate? Does anyone know of any facebook group or forum for finding a roommate in the class? I am 25, moving from LA, have lived in Miami for a few months before, and looking for a roommate on the more relaxed/chill side of things.... Please let me know if you have any suggestion or are interested in possibly living with me. Thanks
Hey there,
Email Marissa Orenstein and she'll add you to our private FB page.. There is a lot of interaction regarding housing there, I'm sure you'll find what you need.. Best of luck!
UMMSM Class of 2015!!
lol!! Sorry about that, I meant to say friend request her on Facebook.. Let her know you're part of the class, once she validates it, she'll add you to the group.. It should have been done automatically, but some have fallen through the cracks..

I am in the Class of 2015 starting this fall. I was wondering if anyone knew:
1. How many hours do students typically spend in required classes/lab per week (for example MWF 8a-4pm, TTh 8a-12pm). I realize lectures are recorded and posted online so it would vary depending on whether attendance was required but perhaps someone can generalize the typical time commitment for required lectures and labs per week. (I'm not a slacker but I have grown accustomed to watching lectures at 2x the speed during undergrad. I can't go back).
2. What are the exam schedules like (ex. every week, at the end of each module, once at the end of the year, etc).
3. How much time do they provide MS2's for Step1 Prep.

Just called the admissions office, the lady I spoke to stated that the class is currently full. I'm disappointed but there is that very slim chance from now until start of class that someone changes their mind.
Saaaad!
Was this for the MD program only or do you know if this is also true for the MD/MPH?
This was for both programs sadly

1 - In general it's 9-12 (hour lunch) 1-3 or 4 M W F, and 9-12 Tue/Thur. Varies from week to week but not that lecture heavy. Some of that time might be scheduled as small groups rather than lecture. Probably anywhere from 10-20 hours a week of class activities, of which just a few hours might be mandatory.
2 - Every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks depending on the module.
3 - Dedicated time, about 5-6 weeks depending on how you schedule it. Realistically though, we have spring break, 1 week of pbl, 2 weeks of a very chill module (i.e. 2 days of studying total), and then those 5-6 weeks dedicated time. It's more than enough time.

I was recently accepted into the Post Bacc program at UM-- and although I know they say there is no "linkage" are there any advantages when it comes to acceptance into UM Miller?
Many thanks!🙂
