This whole life-for-the-next-year-kinda-sorta-up-in-the-air thing and resultant summer calc II class I'm taking for my back up plan to a) not getting un-waitlisted and b) the possiblity of not getting in anywhere for the new app cycle is getting oooold. At least the waitlist is forcing me to learn to deal with uncertainty..? Stay strong, friends.
I feel the same! It's rough...but yes, a good lesson in dealing with uncertainty! Haha need to enjoy the journey too, I suppose!

Match list looks amazing!
I'm curious about this as well. Unfortunately, it's been pretty quiet on this board regarding movement. The waiting is brutal.
Yea I don't totally recall there being too much movement. 😉
Has anyone gotten financial information yet?
I'm also perplexed; I'm on the alternate list...this is technically the waitlist, correct? I haven't seen any movement posted here at all. I think compared to other schools, the waitlists seem to be moving slower this year because of the big volume of applicants.
Yea again everyone had more time to get the mcat done since they extended dates, so I assume more people got the scores they wanted and got everything together for this cycle.
August 7-9th according to the website. White coat is on the 9th.

That's an old year, and incorrect dates. Right now tentatively (and most likely) Augst 12th, 13th, and 14th.

What is the curriculum here? Systems based? Organs based? I can't seem to find details online
I have been accepted into Rosalind and other schools and I am trying to decide where to go. What is really weird is that Rosalind's match list is way better than those other schools (which are much "higher ranked"). Isn't that weird? Can someone explain why?
The usefulness of comparing schools based on match lists has been discussed at length on sdn. Match lists tell you nothing about the school. They are more of a reflection of the students at the school (and their preferences) and not the quality of a school.
White Coat Ceremony is August 14
I withdrew my acceptance from CMS yesterday. Unless the class is over-enrolled, I assume one of you will get it. Best wishes to everyone!
In case others were wondering, I finished the secondary letter Aug 31. My committee letter was complete mid- Sept. I interviewed on Jan 14 and was accepted Feb 4.
I'm assuming they are overenrolled at the this point. Anyone else?
Well I sent an email a couple weeks ago and what they said was that they extended enough offers to fill the class, but as people decline, they would pull off the waitlist and that movement has historically happened up to orientation.
There was a bit of movement on the waitlist: not a lot though. Sorry.
Some good news. CMS is off probation!

Were you a student that was previously on the alternate list or a current Rosalind student that heard about alternate list movement? If you were on the alternate list, will you share your stats and interview date?
Please see above. I'm sorry I didn't attach the comment to the appropriate post, I'm working on a slow network/phone.
Let me PM you.
Hi guys! I would like to know that information as well. Thanks!
Hello. I would like to know that information also. Thank you!

Same here, thank you!!!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! would you mind sharing your stats? When did you interview?
Can people withdraw this late? I thought it was supposed to be within like a week of the drop deadline. Thanks for the heads up though!
Is anyone getting the student health insurance offered by the school? Does it seem like a good deal?
If you can still be on your parent's plan, then I would just do that. If not, then you probably have no choice but to buy the school plan.
Sorry about not replying sooner! I interviewed early January. cGPA 3.8 and 29 MCAT, decent EC's (if I'd say so myself) but I did feel I struggled with the MMI style interview. Stay strong fellow SDN'ers!
Is anyone else surprised that there has only been one person to post on SDN that they were accepted off of the Alternate List? In previous years threads there were numerous posts by late July of people getting accepted off the Alternate List. If there are any current students that know why this is the case, that information would be greatly appreciated. Is it the later than usual interview dates, the new MMI style interview or something else?
This year was like a perfect storm in my opinion. The later that usual extension of MCAT dates this previous cycle mixed with the fact that RFU changed to MMI and got more people to interview changed the number and quality of potential acceptances. There is simply more competition and probably the class got filled rather quickly before people had to be pulled off waitlist. It's not just here, people on the waitlist support thread have complained that the movement has been slow almost universally.
Well, it's poopers to still be waitlisted at this point, and I'm not quite sure what word best describes how it feels to sit on waitlists this late in the game while also finishing secondaries for another cycle, but I will say I had a wonderful time on the interview day and wish everyone the best of luck!!! 🙂
Lol right there with you as are a lot of the 30,000 people who don't make it in each year.
I agree--perfect storm! Record numbers of applicants everywhere=more competition=fewer acceptances=less waitlist movement. I've heard this from every school. Drats for those of us who applied this year; who knew?!!!

Sorry guys and to all wait listers. Like one person got off the waitlist last week. That's it. Prepare for next cycle. Try your hand at BMS? If not, there are like 5 new med schools opening. Don't give up.
I'm applying this cycle and I was just wondering what attracts you to this school.
also can anyone tell me about this interprofessional learning envrionment?
