Congrats to all the new acceptees!!! 99% sure I'll be attending Loyola in the fall and excited to have you all as classmates!
Hi everyone, for those us who have not received the phone call, does it mean it is either waitlist or rejection?
Looking at the online academic calendar it appears Loyola only give 2 weeks (!) in May to prepare for Step 1. Is that accurate?

I was accepted to Loyola back in December and I'm still deciding where I will matriculate, but I thought I'd share this article.
http://joco913.com/news/a-healer-and-now-a-teacher/
It's about a Loyola Stritch alum who decided to go back to school after he became a doctor to get certified and now teaches chemistry full-time at a high school in my hometown. He still works as a physician on nights and weekends as well. I just think it's really awesome (not my plan, however) and speaks to the character of people at Loyola.
Goober or any other current student, do you have access to Loyola's match list for this year? I would love to see how all the students did!
Yeah it's in the atrium at the school come see it!! Ha, jokes. I'll post it here when I find a digital version.
Off the top of my head we had like 7 kids match ENT and like everyone else matched EM (not really). I was really impressed that almost everyone who wanted to do Derm, Neurosurg, Orho, ophtho, ENT, uro, etc (really competitive specialities) matched. This is of course a rough estimate.
Has anyone gotten an actual letter in the mail from that meeting on the 18th?
I'm sure this has been answered before, but I glanced at the last few pages with no success so I'm too lazy to look all the way back.
Does anyone know approximately how many applicants are waitlisted here every year and approximately how many of those are eventually offered acceptances? (I'm sure it varies but just looking for ballparks)
I am supposed to be studying right now for an upcoming test...but it's my last semester, and my care-o-meter is rapidly approaching zero. So that said, I started wondering about what the schedule would look like for this upcoming year - Loyola has an awesome, very detailed current class schedule (hour by hour) available on their website, but it's so detailed that it was difficult for me to get the "big picture" idea from it. I remembered a number of schools I applied to had a nice-looking graphic calender that made it easy to see what classes were happening at the same time and when they happened during the year....and then, in an effort to avoid studying, I made one for Loyola to get a better idea of what to expect. Figured I'd post it here, just for kicks.
Note that it's just my interpretation of a bunch of text, so it probably isn't exactly perfect. Also - maybe a current student can speak to this - there was conflicting information on when exactly Neuro occurred in the second year, so I just put it where it was in the online calender.
Solid work! However, I am fairly confident that you will not be ending your second year May 22nd that's just too late. It'll most likely be toward the beginning of May. Also, having PCM all the time is deceptive. We really only have 1-3 PCM items per week and not all of them are mando by any means.
+1, I am thing the same thing...So my status recently changed from "Under review...if granted an interview you will be notified before March" to "Your file is complete and pending further review by our Committee on Admissions. If you are granted an interview you will be contacted by phone and/or email. Our interview season is September thru April and your file can be reviewed several times during this time."
Are they just blowing smoke, or might there be more interviews being given out?
Thanks for the clarification! I had noticed that the finals seemed to be in early May....I was going to put "Step 1 study time," or something to that effect, but couldn't find much info and just ended up using the last day of the official semester as the end date.
Do you know when Loyola students usually study for/take it?

Very nice, eef. I saw they actually have the schedule up (which is also accessible via google calendar). Just unclick M2, M3, and M4 on the left side to de-clutter it, and skip ahead to August:

Yup me too. I'm out of this thread now, but before I go... good luck, Irish!

Has anyone seen the match list for this year?
No Goober mentioned he/she would put it up when there was a downloadable copy. I definitely know that I am interested in seeing it though.

I would guess below C's. Though, straight C's probably wouldn't look too good, lol.How low do your grades for your final semester in undergrad have to dip for you to get kicked out of the acceptance?
