Some current medical students (rising MS2s and beyond) are given access to the MS1 Facebook group to make announcements etc. so the number of people in the Facebook group is probably not a very good estimate of current class size 🙂 For example, the class of 2020 page has over 30o members for a class of 170 first year students 🙂
May 15th is the designated date. Could be earlier though.
I called and they said that the alternate rank list was going out today....has anyone heard anything?
I called today, sounds like they had a technical glitch and they hoped it would go out within the "next several days". I asked about the possibility of acceptances at this point for those who received the "waitlist/hold" email previously and she said "it's (pause) possible". I have committed elsewhere but was holding out hope for the U of MN, I'm not optimistic about my chances at this point.
Uggh...how frustrating! Thanks for the info!
Based on previous SDN application threads, it seems like they normally pull from up to low to mid double digits from the Alt list. Hence, you at #8 can sit tight and await your acceptance call 🙂
How early in the cycle? According to another student/info on second look day, it seems to be progressing faster than that. Can anyone confirm?
As far as I know the new MS1s will still have Honors/Pass/Fail for most classes (aka the grading system hasn't changed). Essentials of Clinical Medicine (ECM) (our clinical skills and patient interviewing skills class) was only Pass/Fail for our class so I think that will stay the same for the Class of 2021 🙂
