got deffered 🙁
🙁....life is such a struggle
yaa..i interviewed late janSorry to hear guys! Did you just get notified? Did both of you interview in Jan?
I wonder if more of us will hear today, the wait is killing me!
Did anybody interview in early January and receive a decision today/recently. I was just notified my application has been deferred. I have to admit I am a little devastated, as I had my heart set on this school after my interview (which I thought could not have gone any better).
Has anyone been deferred and then accepted? If so, how long did you wait for your acceptance from the time you were first informed of your deferral? I know everyone's case is probably unique I'm just trying to gauge the the frequency of applicants gaining acceptance after an initial deferral.
Well my morning just went from fine to horrific. If any one as any advice on moving forward it is certainly welcome! Good luck to all!
I was hoping to hear back today...nothing yet!
Has anyone rejected ? Has it only been acceptances and deferrals at this point?
good luck everyone!
Which post-interview? For me, defer was by email. Acceptance was also by email, followed by a snail mail letter (about 2 days to a week later, I can't remember exactly). Both of these were also posted as status on the application website.I see. Do you know if the the post interview was by email or snail mail? thnx
I love this thread....now m optimistic again🙂...i hope we all get in !!
Just deferred for the first time... I interviewed on Dec 7th! I had forgotten all about this school by now (I thought my rejection letter got lost) hehe.
I mean forgot about any possibility of going there. Like... I was sure I had a rejection letter on the way, since I seemed to be the only one from early December that had heard nothing what so ever.Except for that post 8 days ago. Haha

I guess my train of thought didn't go well with my words hehe
has anyone definitively decided that they'll be in Scranton next year?
I know there was talk of this a few weeks ago, but does anyone know if there's any kind of facebook group other than the Page that TCMC created with our second look invite?
Pretty sure I'll be attending TCMC.
Doesn't seem like there's a group yet. Anyone wanna volunteer to start a Facebook group for the Class of 2018? I'd volunteer, but I don't even have a FB account yet so I'm a total FB noob haha...I'd start one to join the group, though--I've heard class FB groups can be a great resource both pre and post-matriculation. 👍

Yes! I've decided to matriculate and I'll definitely make the group! I've been wanting to for a while now. And yeah, you need someone else to make the group. I'm not sure how many others you need, however.
@Aquab1ll or @plasmamorris would you mind sharing what kind of laptop TCMC gives students and a brief review (i.e. is it good enough for all school-related tasks or should I plan on buying a desktop to supplement?)...thanks!
Can you elaborate on why rank in that order? I always thought most people wanted North.
Has anyone been rejected post-interview lately? sounds like everyone has been either deferred or accepted???
Congrats on getting into your a top choice! That sucks that there was a payment system glitch, but I am sure their intention wasnt to simply take your money. Hopefully you find constructive things to post about in your suny thread (the things you said simply made you look bitter and childish, btw)Absolutely the worst school that I had experience of applying to. TCMC stole my hard-earned money for their secondary application due to the problem they had with their website and payment processing system. My application was marked incomplete until the deadline even though my card was charged $100. Last year I went there for an interview and the only thing they were proud of was the "state-of-the-art building" ?! Who cares about your f... building? I want to get the best possible medical education, so spend your money on state-of the-art professors and residencies.
Moreover, this school is very expensive. You`ll spend at least 75k each year. They keep deferring people each month or two, and in the end of the application cycle, they send you an email about their MBS program, which also costs at least 75k. According to the last year threads, only 5-10% of students that finish TCMC MBS get accepted to the medical school. MBS students who have 4.0 GPA and 30 mcat get rejected. I better spend $1,500 on an MCAT course, than 75k on a program that leaves you with a useless piece of sh... master`s degree.
Thank God, this app cycle I was accepted to one of my top choice med schools (one of the SUNYs), and I`m glad that I don`t have to deal with this artificial med school.

Wow! I was reading everything and so far... I was like... Ok, let the kid vent. But then you go on to insult others? What is your problem exactly?It seems that you are both current students at this school. So, good luck! I will not continue arguing with you, since most likely this school was the only school that accepted you, and unfortunately you have to accept many things as they are. Just for your notice, primary care and research are two different and almost mutually exclusive things. The research conducted at TCMC is done by science grads, and yet I have to find any relevant and important scientific papers published by TCMC students/grads. According to the last TCMC thread, about 5-10 TCMC students didn`t match, and one of them had criminal activity while at the school. I wrote my first post for future applicants as a warning. Don`t repeat my mistakes. TCMC was a complete waste of my time and money.

Me too.Based on what you've been saying on this thread, I couldn't be more glad that you won't be one of my classmates.

Nevermind, I found it!
They didn't go into the details of the criminal expulsion (sad).
However, one of the 4th years explain the disparities on match day. 65 matriculated and 56 matched. Here is his/her quote:
"[they did] not drop out.
1 was expelled for criminal reasons
1 decided to do a research year in order to graduate with significant other (who is in the year below)
1 failed Step 1 and had to take a significant time off to retake it
2 are doing international things...
2 are doing an extra year of research before applications (in order to get a stronger application)
1 had a tremendous amount of personal/family difficulties"
Just clarifying on your unsupported statement about match day, because you implied it was due to the school's "inability to teach".
65 matriculated, but only 56 matched. 14% of students didn`t match after 4 years of medical school. Call it how you want, but "inability to teach" is one of the most contributing factors when one considers match results (in addition to the IQ of students). Good luck with the campus lottery and other funny things!
morrinelli is very rude but I agree that the MBS program is kindaa not worth it now that I am being constantly deffered ....4.o first sem and 30 MCAT (ugad gpa 3.4) plus a local here n I was straight up deferred 🙁....felt like all those sleepless nights studying for 3 exams in a row went down the drain. I love the professors and the faculty here and the quality of education is definitely top notch . I will choose no other med school over TCMC as it truly feels like home and everyone around is genuinely nice. I just hope things work out for me because God knows I truly deserve an admission here.
