2016-2017 University of Colorado Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just heard that a friend of a friend was accepted yesterday off the top tier! Slots must still be trickling open. Wish you all some luck
 
I can confirm that applicants were accepted both yesterday and last Friday.

Also, PSA: Top priority waitlist applicants become ineligible for admission offers if they have started orientation/classes at other LCME accredited medical schools. This was unfortunately the case for me (I was not aware of this protocol), and in hindsight I should have breached contact to admissions office to make my intentions of wanting to attend Colorado more apparent before starting orientation at another program. To that end, I think that particular AAMC protocol is one huge factor as to why those in previous years on these threads who were on the HPWL stated they did not get in. It might not have been an issue with necessarily going through the entire HPWL rather than the school taking all eligible candidates on that list.

Do you think that email is the best way to do this? I am supposed to start orientation at another school on Monday but would still like to have a last fighting chance at getting in here

Call them immediately and explain the situation

Ah thanks for the advice. Called and the person I talked to didn't seem so receptive, she confirmed that you can be pulled off the waitlist prior to beginning orientation at another school but did not take my name or anything.
