so if applicants dont hear back today, then its safe to assume that they will have to wait another month?

For those of you still waiting for your acceptances did you send an updated transcript if it was different from the one you submitted along with your application?
 
I am highly interested in this medical school I was wondering what the stats were of people getting accepted/secondary invites. I like the focus on missionary work. Please feel free to PM me. Thanks y'all!

if someone gets an interview here, how likely is it they will get accepted? what are the post interview acceptance odds?

If you have bolstered your application in any way, my advice is that you email the admissions office ASAP! I sent in my updated transcript and believe that it played an instrumental role in my ultimate acceptance to LLUSM on December 16th! If you haven't been accepted yet still hold on to hope, but no matter what, don't give up on your dreams

Seems like acceptances are sent out third Thursday every month. So is it safe to assume that the committee meets the third Wednesday/Thursday?

yes I did. Because I was in the middle of taking classes at the time I submitted my application and didn't have grades at the time, but now I do. Loma linda responded thanking me for the update and it would be added to my file.
 
Anyone know what kinds/how many scholarships there are? I really want to come here but the price is scary

Accepted yesterday evening :)
That phone call scared the crap out of me.
FIRST ACCEPTANCE OF THE CYCLE

Congrats. Since your experience was a little different, given that Dr. Roddy came to your school and interviewed you, did you have to go to Loma Linda for another interview before being accepted?

I did not have to go to Loma Linda! Dr. Roddy's interview was final
 
Does anyone here know how many calls Dr. Roddy gives in each acceptance cycle?

According to MSAR data for last year's cycle (entering class of 2016), Loma Linda interviewed 392 people, of those interviewed, 169 matriculated. If 169 matriculated, I would assume the acceptance rate would be +25-30 more people to account for people who held multiple acceptances and ended up elsewhere. So my estimation is probably around ~200 to 215ish post interview acceptances.

From what I understand, acceptance calls could still go out tomorrow morning. After that, I'm assuming they won't make any more calls until the second or third Thursday of April.
