2016-2017 University of Arizona - Tucson Application Thread

BU Medical Sciences
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So if we don't get an acceptance by March 15, are we pretty much waitlisted or rejected?

While I appreciate the transparency, they really should have just rejected me from the start rather than put me through this torture since August. It's pretty obvious that I'm in a rejection pile as of right now. Just give it to me straight UofA. Jesus.
 
Sounds like the projected number may change? I hope it remains at at least 155. I did not receive an update today... not sure how to interpret that, but I really hope the admissions committee continues to be generous with their acceptance offerings.

If it's the same as last year, I think they have 2 more rounds of acceptances in the last week of march back to back! And then the torture will be over

Will acceptances still be offered despite the class being fillled? Or is it too early to know for sure?

Pretty much expecting a rejection or waitlist (at best), but trying to remain hopeful :xf:

Oh my god hey!! What a crazy surprise. I haven't been selected for the 9th time now yay!!! :soexcited:
 
Hello everyone ! I know I am late to the group but I thought I would share my story! I am a 2nd time re-applicant who interviewed late January and is still hopeful as many of you all are ! I am currently going into my 4th semester (MS2) at American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine. I am a local tucsonian, my parents live within blocks from the U of A campus. I still have not given up on my dream to be accepted into U of A Tucson despite almost being done with my medical science coursework. My path is rather non traditional for applying to a US medical school so I thought it may give those some courage to never give up on your dream of becoming a physician! No matter what you will find a way and make it happen. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions about my stats/medical school/AUCSOM/life. Good luck everyone!
 
I wasn't even expecting to see anything today. But when I saw that "admissions" in my inbox I was excited! Then immediately returned to reality upon reading:

+5
There's probably like 20 seats left at this point. No hope for an OOS applicant like me.

As grateful as I am to still be in consideration for admittance (remaining hopeful), at this point in time, I do wish the committee had rejected applicants on a rolling basis, particularly those that they deemed early on were 'not competitive enough'. My husband is matching this Friday and he ranked Tucson before some of his other top programs because I was still under consideration for admittance. Not complaining - I am very grateful but it would be unfortunate if I was one of those applicants who could have been let go early on... everything happens for a reason though, right?! Best of luck to you all

Exactly my problem with this process. If we're not good enough, tell us.

I wonder why it is they don't?

I can understand the benefit from no rolling rejection from the adcom perspective, but for future improvements maybe consider having 2 rounds of rejections, one at the end of the application year (like before holiday break) and the other one at the end of the cycle (march/April-ish). That way early interviewers do not need to wait out the entire cycle for a final decision.
 
Has anyone in this thread received a firm rejection?
Or is everyone still "actively being considered?"

I got another hold email yesterday. I definitely understand everyone's frustration. I'm in the same boat. I also placed Tucson at the top of my list, partially for family reasons (My mom is getting old and there is nobody to watch over her). It's not easy to wait and remain hopeful, but I'm still trying to stay positive. Best of luck to everybody. We will all be very happy soon! One way or the other.
