2012-2013 The Commonwealth Medical College Application Thread

Dun dun dun.

So I just spoke via email to Admissions and it seems there HAD been minimal movement on the wait list- so I guess one or two people got off of it. However, there hasn't been any movement as of recent.

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNN!! (Sorry I had to read your post like that.)

Its not too much of a surprise. There is always some movement, there just hasn't been much in the last year or two. Lets hope for the best though.

Yeah I called and spoke to someone in admissions and got the same answer about not much movement on the waitlist and the MBS being a better than nothing option for some of the people on the waitlist basically! Good luck to everyone! Keep us posted.

Has anyone received their $100 deposit back from TCMC after withdrawing? When I declined my acceptance, I was told that they issue the refunds after May 15th, but I haven't received mine yet. Good luck to everyone waiting! It took me three attempts, but it's worth it in the end.

I think it changes throughout the year but generally early in the morning. 8/9 sometimes 10. Second year, the schedule gets flipped and we have the morning off and classes start around 1.

No, if I were a really old man I'd use words like "whippersnapper" or "peckerhead"

I'm the middle-aged man who just posted on Facebook.

Not that there's anything wrong with being a really old man.

Haha, judging from your FB posts and on here, you seem like a cool guy. Glad you're in our class! I don't think I have daddy issues...

Thanks! I don't know about being a cool guy, but I have spent a lot of time trying to increase the number of good things I do while decreasing the number of idiotic things I do. One day I hope the former outnumbers the latter. It will be interesting finding out how med school fits into the paradigm. Maybe it's both...

I look forward to meeting you soon!

PS - everybody has daddy issues. I just forgot that they can be healthy issues too

So there was some movement ~2 weeks ago.

Unfortunately, no more will be accepted off of the wait list as of today. It is extremely unlikely. This is coming from the highest source.
