Congrats everyone! I think they are doing some more calls tomorrow per their twitter feed...not sure if this includes all interview dates though. I interviewed 8/30 and hope that those interviewees will also be considered tomorrow!
I interviewed 9/6 and hope that they include those interviewees as well. Good luck to everyone!

complete 9/16

Was the rejection via email? I didn't get a phone call or email so i'm thinking waitlist
Finally submitted my secondary to this school. I know it's late in the game, but this whole process seems so random anyway, so I figured I'd give it a shot.
From what everyone is saying, it seems like a really great place! Congrats to all who have already been accepted, and best of luck to all those still waiting!!

I have a question about the secondary. In the required coursework area it says check yes or no if you have complete this. What if you are going to complete it before you matriculate, do you still check yes?

Enjoy!! This school is wonderful and if I hadn't gotten into a CA school, I would have gone here : )
Yeah, their twitter says next batch of calls are going out tomorrow
I have an interview for this school in November. I recently got accepted at Rosalind Franklin. I am not sure how I should compare the two and if I should still go to the interview. Can anyone tell me the best way to compare the schools? I am tight on budget, so just want to save some money. Thanks!
Sorry pretty late, but ACCEPTED!!!!! (well I got the call like a couple weeks ago). But quick question, is everyone adding the facebook group? Is there any important information on it? Sorry my facebook is currently deactivated. THANKS FOR ANY REPLIES!!!!
I haven't interviewed at CMS, but I did interview at OU. I predict some differences might lie in the hospital systems affiliated with the schools (OU has a single system they try to rotate people in that is very well known in the area; not sure about CMS) and the areas (I only know that CMS is Chicago-based but not how close to the city it is located while OU is located in a very nice suburb). Another thing: Is CMS affiliated with an undergrad? The OU campus has a nice, quiet feel but is set on the UG main campus so you get all of the amenities.
Edit: Also, where are you from? Unless you're from the Chicago area, I might not stop yet. OU was quite impressive in my opinion.
Accepted! 🙂
I'm not sure when they started but I got a call between 11 and 11:30... Good luck, everyone!

CMS doesn't have an undergrad and the school is about 40 mins from actual Chicago. It is also located in the suburbs. I am from not from Chicago and that is why I am confused. Thank for your opinion though!
Looks like I will have to wait until the next day calls come out 🙁 Interviewed 9/6
They were up to decisions for all of 10/4 and half of 10/16. Your decision should have been made by now -- I'd give them a call?
Oh, okay. I tend to compare finances in these cases (for myself) as that's really going to affect my ultimate choice. So according to MSAR, OU is actually about 4k per year cheaper than CMS. That's not a big enough difference to be earth shattering or decision making.
If you'd consider moving out of state (or want to, even), I'd take the interview if you see finances ultimately swaying your opinion because you never quite know. (I myself would go most anyway based on financial aid decisions.) The trip is only 4-5 hours in the car (so driveable to save money).
Don't they have a master list with all applicants in no chronological order? Still, it is stressful that I haven't heard an answer given that I was in the first cycle =[
I thought they do go in chronological order but they accept the people they outright like and then the maybes get constantly reviewed after each meeting until the very end, after which, everyone left is either rejected or put on a waitlist.
delete.
