Does anyone know the GPA range that gets accepted? does instate have a better chance of getting accepted?
I was looking at their GPA on sdn and it is at 3.6. And my gpa is much lower than that. It is around 3.0-3.2 but my mcat is really good. do i even have a chance? and someone told me that if youre instate, you automatically get secondary. is that true?GPA range varies significantly (You can have a really low GPA but an incredibly high MCAT score, or vice versa, and get into medical school).... Instate ALWAYS has a better chance.
I am not sure how true that is. There is a prescreen, and though I am sure the standards for OOS are higher, they still screen out IS as far as I know.I was looking at their GPA on sdn and it is at 3.6.

So the real question is whether or not your question pertains to applying for this cycle or next cycle?... Because this application cycle for Arizona-Tucson already closed on November 1st for the primary AMCAS application and December 1st for the secondary application. (Hence, it doesn't matter if you are in-state or out-of-state b/c it would be a waste of money to apply after the application deadline).

MSAR is a great resource that'll give you a better stat than just the cutoff, it'll give you the 10th and 90th GPA/MCAT percentiles.I am applying next year. I just wanted to how they look at instate students with low GPA and high MCAT, because the school's average GPA is 3.6.
Do you know the cutoff?
Yes I received an interview here with a high MCAT and a gpa on the lower side(LizzyM score ~67). Just make it a point to apply early and add as many extracurricular activities you can before applying, I know they love working with under-represented populations here. All this may not mean much as I haven't been officially accepted yet but I'm sure you'll be fine buddy, best of luck!I was looking at their GPA on sdn and it is at 3.6.

Hi everyone! I was so excited to receive an interview invite here, and I absolutely love everything about Tucson. I don't have any contacts who are current students, though. Is it okay to call the admissions office and ask to be put in touch with current students before my Jan interview? I just wasn't sure, and I don't want to do anything that would put me at a disadvantage. Thanks, and congrats to everyone who has received interviews this cycle

Totally go to the meet and greet the day before! If you're talking about maybe meeting with a student host (I know some schools do this) I think that would be more appropriate to inquire.
Info about the student host program was actually attached to our interview invite email.We do have a student host program!

Noooooo I got placed on interview hold fml
Yup we just have to hold our breath til March 24th hahahaAs did I. The dreaded, "Our medical school is currently unable to invite you to interview. However, we have determined that you are a competitive candidate and you will continue to be considered during this application cycle."
Just gotta keep our heads up!
March 24th ?!?! WHAT.Yup we just have to hold our breath til March 24th hahaha
Interviewed in October, silence since the post II hold in NovemberFor Post II applicants, any news to you?
They said that is the last day that they can reach out and invite us for an interview smdhMarch 24th ?!?! WHAT.
They said that is the last day that they can reach out and invite us for an interview smdh
I could be wrong but they said their interview season runs from August to February. Which means that is the latest we can get interviews lol. I think if you get an email in march with no previous interview, it will just be a rejection
Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
Haven't heard from them since before thanksgivingSo probably nothing until the new year since they started winter recess this week?
The UACOM Outreach twitter just released these stats for those interested:
"#FastFacts COM-T 511 interview invites, 381 interviewed, 55 admitted"
Not correct. The last day of interviews is mid-February.They said that is the last day that they can reach out and invite us for an interview smdh

It is actually true for both II as well as acceptances.Do you mean acceptances? Or is this pre-II?
We're scheduled to interview 560so do you think they are done giving out II since I remember at my interview they said they interview somewhere around 500 ?
So if we are on hold for an interview we could still be invited for a feb interview?We're scheduled to interview 560
So if we are on hold for an interview we could still be invited for a feb interview?
