Are they sending acceptances in packages? Did you call the admission and they said the nxt round is on Monday ?
Hope we all hear good news 🙁
 
Hello Everyone!
I've been a long time lurker on this thread and am emerging from the shadows.... I interviewed back in September and was placed on the regular waitlist and was just offered an acceptance! I'm OOS from CA with 3.4 GPA, 24 MCAT, and a non-traditional applicant. I have been following everyone's posts on this thread for months now and have been really stressed throughout this whole cycle....as everyone on here has been as well 🙁 and the reason I am posting this is because I want you guys to please please please don't lose hope! I started prepping for a Master's Program and signed up to retake the MCAT this June. Anything really is possible if you put your mind to it and stay optimistic!!! I really wish and hope all of my fellow applicants on here get accepted! I'm rooting for you all!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Congratulations!! I have similar stats and your post is extremely encouraging 🙂 Happy to hear you received wonderful news, and am praying I get to be your classmate next year!!
 
Does anyone know how many people are in the waitlist and how many "open" spots there are? Basically spots that don't have a confirmed acceptance yet...also in the same boat as a lot of you and praying for the best!!
 
This is my first choice school, and I would love to attend! Does anyone know when orientation is for CMU?
 
I just talked to admissions today and they said they have about 6 more spots that are not currently accepted by someone; let's hope that all of us on this thread get those spots if they're not accepted!

Thats great news! And as waitlist of other schools move there may be more spots opening up! Did they by any chance mention whether the spots were for IS or OOS? Cuz they seem to have alotta movement for IS applicants n not much for OOS! I gotta say tho at this point in May im not really optimistic about my chances 🙁

Unfortunately not, I think that if the people that drop their spots are OOS they'll give someone OOS the spot and if they're IS it'll be an IS student. I feel the same way and I'm OOS too-such a nerve wrecking process. She did say though that once they've filled all 104 spots they'll tell the majority of the waitlist that they're taken off of it and only keep a few on it if anyone drops. Not ideal but at least that way we'll know and have a better idea of our chances!

Did they say when those 6 spots would be released for waitlist people to be accepted?

They're offering as they go, so right now there are 6 people with pending offers that haven't said yes or no to them. If someone says no they'll offer that spot to someone else and so forth until they're all accepted

Also keep in mind that some of the students who alrdy accepted their offer might withdraw cuz they come off the waitlist elsewhere.
I think specially at CMU becuz of the no deposit thing alotta people wait to withdraw later! Cuz they wont lose anything even if they chose to not attend the school (a DO acceptance or other countries)! To those accepted is there any deposit due in June or something ?

Ahh really really hoping to get good news for all of us soon!!

I've been accepted there and admissions said applicants that have been removed from the waitlist have 10 days to accept the offer. If they don't they revoke their spot. For myself, I'm waiting to be accepted at another school I've been waitlisted at. Hope that helps
 
There's a few of us that I have seen consistently on this thread! Hoping really hard for all of us to get through !! This is such a long and stressful process and I really want to finally make my long term plans about where I will be attending medical school.

Massive congrats to you!!! Welcome to CMED 2020 - I could not be happier to have you join us!!!

Also, it is perfectly acceptable and even encouraged to run around your home or workplace screaming in glee for up to 72 hours post acceptance. Take it from us, we're going to be doctors.

Several months later, I will admit to randomly running around in glee, though the screaming has decreased. 😉

Just called admissions and they said the class is not full yet and they are still making offers! Hope is not lost yet

Thank you! Did they mention anything about how many spots are open and whether those spots are IS/OOS?
 
They did not say how many spots were open or specify in state or out of state. Just that the class wasn't full and they are still making offers
 
Has anyone heard anything about the outcome of the LCME visit that was to occur this month?
 
To those accepted recently do you mind sharing how many days theyve given you to decide if you want to attend? Is it still 2 weeks?

Hi Em! I just checked my acceptance email which was sent five days from the date they said I should respond by. Hope this helps!
 
Does anyone know how many white coat ceremony tickets we will receive off the top of their head? I emailed them and haven't heard back yet.
-thanks,
 
Congrats to everyone attending CMU!! Applying this year and this is my dream school.

Questions for accepted applicants... Did you take the CASPER test? I don't think it's required but it says it's "recommended".

Hey EspressoDrip42! I will be attending CMED this fall. I believe this is the first year they are implementing the CASPer test for admissions. Personally, I would take it just so they have additional, in-depth insights about you as a person, holistically. Best of luck to you in this application cycle! We're rooting for you

I am also attending this fall and definitely second what @Fancy1squash said. CMed wants more than the book-smart appicant, they are looking for well rounded people. The CASPer is another way to help them find these individuals.

Best of luck to you this application cycle @EspressoDrip42, it can be tough at times, keep your head up, keep moving forward!
 
I am new to this thread and I apologize if this has been answered in a previous post... Does anyone know if we are able to complete and submit the CASPer after we have submitted our secondary application?

Edit: I am half asleep and have joined last years thread. Whoops!
