Get Your Med School Admissions Questions Answered!
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So how many people who already got accepted, are accepting the offer from UND or are you planning to go somewhere else?

I was already accepted and took the offer. UND is the only medical school that offers Chippers, it's pretty much a no-brainer.

What are "chippers?" Also, does the committee ever do post interview rejections or is it pretty much accept or wait list for people granted an interview?

They're chocolate covered potato chips.

Not sure, they've been changing a lot of things in admissions in the last few years seemingly in an attempt to modernize the process. UNDSMHS used to be truly non-rolling admissions but they're slowly turning over to rolling admissions, as you see from those accepted already. As far as I know, and it's just a guess, they won't do post-interview rejections, they'll either accept you early or on the January non-rolling date, then the rest will go to the wait list.
 
Does anyone know how often they meet to discuss applicants?
It would be weird if they only accepted a few people then stopped and released everything in January.
I'm assuming they'll continue meeting and accepting people.
 
The chippers were a great touch! Congrats to those who were accepted. If I may, how were you notified? I'm assuming email but I'm curious
 
Does anyone know historically how much love is given to Minnesota residents who are accepted to interview?

You can look at the entering class list of past years and see what their hometowns are. This will allow you to see how many MN residents have matriculated in the past. I'm not sure if you can see how many MN residents were accepted out of how many interviewed, however.
 
For those accepted, is there anything we have to do to accept our spot? I'm kind of confused...

I'm confused as well; I would assume our directions will come in the packet we will be receiving in the mail. If you figure it out, please let us all know!

MD CLASS OF 2020!
 
Anyone who interviewed so far, did you guys send emails/thank you notes to the interviewers? I was only given their names and couldn't find their contact info online.

I sent each member one on the Monday after my Saturday interview. But they had already met that Saturday in the afternoon to make their decision on me (i.e. before my letters got to them for acceptance consideration). I was able to look up the MD and the PhD interviewers online and just emailed Ms. Thompson for the email contact of the medical student that interviewed me.

I got a call from Dean Wynne on 12/23 as well! And as others have said...accepted via email with a letter to follow a few days later.
 
I heard that Adcom pretend to fall sleep or do some other unexpected things, what do you guys think is the best way to handle that kind of situation? Do you ignore the situation or what?

1 member did that during my interview, 2 of them ignored me for some time. I just went with it, still had a great interview and got accepted right away! so yes just ignore it and do your best 🙂

When do majority of student gonna hear whether they are accepted or not? Is it the last week of Jan?
 
Just got the acceptance packet today! And yes, I do believe the majority of applicants find out the last week of January, after all of the interviews have been completed. That's how it's been the past few years anyways!
 
I was informed that the last interviews are on the 23rd (this weekend), so right after that. I would say next week as well.
Goodluck to everyone waiting!
 
Does the packet mention an accepted students revisit date?? I'm traveling so haven't gotten my packet yet but would like to attend if there is one

Does everyone receive an email whether it is a waitlist, rejection, or acceptance?
 
Interviewed mid December as well!
No word yet. Past years it has been middle of the week to the end of the week, but anything is possible.
And as far as I know, you are notified via e-mail (waitlisted, accepted or rejected).
 
Is anyone else getting anxious for the next three days..I am assuming that is when emails will be put out.
 
Alert: There might gonna be heavy rainfall of Acceptance, Rejection and Wait-listed starting tomorrow. Be sure to check Ur email for more updates. Good luck everyone!
 
Hey tho use of you who are attending UNDSMHS in fall, have you found any good housing options?
 
Ya I wonder if they send out all acceptance emails at the same time...I have nothing yet haha
 
Ya could be, I just thought they would send out acceptances in all one automated email haha
 
Who else has an email today?

edit: i don't have one, and i want to know who else besides afro does.
