How do we know if our transcripts have been received? It just says the word "References" in red under my "Document Status" tab.
just wondering--why did you have to be on campus July 1st? Do all students need to be on campus by then?
What does a fair amount mean? Any numbers you can provide?

Because they told me I had to be a part of the EMT training which I did NOT volunteer for. I was volunteered by Admin.
Ok well nearly half our class was from the waitlist and that has been pretty historical. Is that a good enough estimate?
What led to mandated EMT training? That's odd.
It was a pilot project. I somehow was selected.
Sounds interesting. Did you have a say in the matter? Or was it, participate or don't matriculate?
But does everyone's say "main campus" as default?
When did you receive your pounce ID after your acceptance? And was it by email?I called and you are right. By default all campus assignments in Pounce are "Main Campus"

It was "You are coming to Augusta on July 1 or else" so while I never found out what "or else" means, I just made an assumption I had to be here within less of a week of that letter, which is what happened. Hence why I got a sketchy house in a sketchier neighbourhood because I had to move to Augusta with no notice.
via email?I received my campus assignment this past Friday. I was accepted ED back in September. Yay Athens!
That is strange, I thought the EMT program was strictly on a volunteer basis. I remember applying for it, and I believe that everyone that was in our class was there because they wanted to be apart of it.
I was told by Jordan that I was going to be in it by phone call.
I asked for a calendar and more information, brought it to my mentor, had a discussion, decided that I probably shouldn't do it because I just could not get down there fast enough because I wanted to find a place to live that was safe, was called that Thursday before class started, and told I had to be in Augusta July 1st which was the following week.
I ended having to get into any house I could, so just grabbed the one place that approved me, since you know who I am (and I suspect I know who you are based on username) you know all hell broke loose with the repeated robberies, the sexual assault, the drug reactions to deal with the PTSD, etc. And you know I spent half that class still trying to move in from where I was living before.
I can't help but wonder what would happen if I had not bothered to ask for more information. Probably would have ended up in a safer location. Probably would not be on a LOA.
(Lesson to all you kids in 2020, under no circumstance move to anything around Harrisburg.)
Dang... that really sucks.
Is there any formal support/guidance at MCG to prepare med students for the residency application process? I want to go out-of-state for residency and am wondering how difficult that will be if I go to MCG for med school.
I've heard that MCG is considered a regional medical school. I would like to go to California for residency, would I be at a disadvantage if I choose to go to MCG? My other school of consideration is Tulane. Thanks!Weird question, since pretty much every medical school has staff that performs exactly that function.
Also, this year's match list shows that 72% of MCG grads are going out of state for residency.

This is probably more the result of selection bias though. People who want to live in Georgia tend to go to MCG and later on continue with an in-state residency. People who go to a private school like Tulane are less likely to be tied to that area and are probably more the type to move elsewhere for residency.Quick glance, around 26 matched CA programs from Tulane last year. MCG is a public school, and as a result, tries to focus students on practicing in-state, or at least in the southeast. Athens had 1 student match UCSF last year, and Augusta had 5 match CA programs.

So did everyone who got an interview and not accepted get placed on the waitlist... Also how many people did they accept off of the waitlist last year?
Is anyone considering writing a letter of intent? Or does the admissions committee not take those into account
I was told by mcg that updates including LOI's are not accepted at this point in the process, also this was apparently stated in our post-interview emailsIs anyone considering writing a letter of intent? Or does the admissions committee not take those into account

Hi! That someone was me lol. I interviewed in late February and was placed on the waitlist...was all set to go to another school when I got a call saying I'd been accepted. And MCG was my number one choice so I moved heaven and earth to make my way to Augusta. Bottom line is, don't give up hopeIt sucks but this happens at a lot of schools I've heard :/ I guess some people wait to withdraw until the very last second.

half of the people on SDN should give up medical school and start their careers with the FBI or CIA.Looks like 3 days before class began haha.
Does anyone know if MCG has a meet and greet for accepted students? I know the MCG dental school had one recently so people could find roommates and look for apartments in Augusta together, and other med schools I was accepted to are sending out their meet and greet dates.
None whatsoever....best decision of my life coming here. I may be a bit biased but we really have the best med school in GA outchea...the few concerns I had about MCG during the application process based on a previous perception of the school were quickly assuaged.Any regrets?
sameis anyone able to see their transcript status on the portal? In the waitlist email there were instructions on how to check it but mine has been blank when I click on "Document Status"

Has anyone recently accepted received a campus assignment yet? I was accepted mid March and I've yet to hear anything.
Unfortunately, I was told by the admissions office that campus assignments usually aren't made until the May-June timeframe, regardless of when you were accepted or which campus preference you chose (with the exception being early decision applicants, according to someone who posted earlier in this thread). Still, fingers crossed for sooner rather than later; it would make things so much easier to know where we're going to end up ASAP.
