2015-2016 University of Arizona Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Maybe they aren't sending out those emails this cycle?
I can't imagine that's the case...on the 28th people got that email eventually. I'm just surprised we haven't seen more people on here getting accepted.

Not everyone post on SDN. That is why.
 
Haha I want to know that too!! Could have made such an awesome weekend :/
You seem as anxious as me to get into medical school. I have two friends who applied to DO schools this year. One was accepted 2 hours after his interview and other friend the following day. That was the first week of September. I don't get why MD schools can't be that way. I had two friends last year get into MD schools last year. One got in May and the other June of his second year applying. At the end of the day it doesn't matter when you got in as long as you did...... now how to not think about medical school until June?
 
Anyone receive and interview invite recently? I've been completed for 7 weeks and haven't heard anything!!!


Complete mid July, OOS (but did my pharmacy school summer internship in Tucson in 2006), pre-II waitlisted end of August here. What do y'all think the best course of action here in this situation?

Congrats! If you dont mind me asking, when were you complete?
I was complete around the first week of sept. The only date I saw for interview was this saturday so I'm thinking maybe someone canceled their slot. I'm in state though so it's not too bad, a little short notice though.
 
Did anyone ever get the "you weren't selected this round of acceptances blah blah" email last week?
 
Hi! New here. Interviewed 10/9 and got the post interview update ("We are still reviewing your file") on 10/29.
Haven't gotten the "you weren't selected this round of acceptances" either :/
I just called them and they said that we should get that update when acceptances are sent out. I am not sure why we didn't get them last Friday.

Ah I was 10/9 also! 🙂 Same thing on 10/29, but yeah none of the other emails.Not sure why they didn't send that out Friday either. Thanks for the update!

Haha I was also there 10/9 also! And I got that "you are now under review" email on 10/29 but no "you have not been selected at this time" email. So they said we SHOULD be getting it every round of acceptance?

That is a question for Phnx12 since they called!

Yep. What they told me today at least.

Another 10/9 here to join the party! Didn't hear anything either. Sad I didn't get told "no love this acceptance round." I still love U of Arizona though.

Congrats! You know the exact date you were complete. I was complete right around that time too and haven't heard anything!
 
I really liked this school but concerned about their lower than average board scores (avg= 225). Any thoughts?

That's right around the average though. Last 3 years, the average ranged from 227-229. I'm not a student there, but Seems like it would also have to do with your individual preparation. I'm sure there are students at the program who get high scores too, since their match list has some good programs.

I agree with this completely. At the end of the day med school is what you make of it. If you push yourself hard enough and put the work in you can get great scores at any school.
 
Accepted today - IS, complete 8/31, II 11/6. Literally in tears. Happy beyond words to be going to my dream school.

Best of luck to everyone still waiting to hear back - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you all!!!
 
I thought they meet once a month? Didn't the last adcom meeting happen less than a month ago?

They meet bimonthly! So every two weeks or so we should hear something. And to medschoolyay I have no clue! Phnx12 called and they said they were supposed to go out every round but today and on the 13th I never got the "deferred" email....and I went under review on Oct 29. It's frustrating because I'd just like to know for sure I'm gonna have to wait another two weeks or whatever haha. Especially since that's what they said to expect. Yay.
 
I got the " We are unable to extend you an interview at this moment, but maybe between now and February" messsage.

+1 just now
 
Just got the exact the same "Our medical school is currently unable to extend an interview invitation to you, however; we have determined that you are a competitive candidate to continue to be considered at this time." pre-II hold email for the second time. Was already on hold but I guess this means I'm still on hold? LOL at least they're keeping us updated unlike 95% of the other schools.

I'll give them that, at least there is SOME sort of update...as ambiguous as it may be

I know! I've never gotten one either and I went "under review " on 10/29 as well.

Just got the same. Does this mean we're in an interview waiting pool, or are we just on hold left to drown?

You're not left to drown. Last time when they sent this email is was right after a bunch of rejections. And there's been some movement for people with pre-II holds. You're still in the running until they tell you otherwise.

I got that too but this is my second email with the same wording (I got the first one in mid october)
 
Yeah I got the "hold" interview email everybody else got. I am wondering have there been people that have been rejected yet? Maybe this school puts all rejects on hold like upstate?
