Hmm with no acceptances reported here from the last Seattle meeting, maybe they just decided to SUC everybody this round?

Maybe, but there's more people being considered than the 30 or so on here.
 
I'm an OOS applicant and interviewed the first week in Nov. I was SUC Nov 21 but haven't heard anything since. Has anyone else interviewed around that time and heard back yet?

I had this same question and emailed them to ask. They said TRUST is not available for non-WWAMI students unfortunately, but they did emphasize that there were plenty of alternatives for these students if they were interested in rural medicine.

Thank you that makes sense 🙂

OOR Interviewed 10/24. SUCed on the same date as you. Haven't heard back since. Some people in my interview group have the same situation like us. 🙁

Thanks for the info! Relieved I'm not alone, but I really hope we all hear some good news back soon!
 
I think maybe most EXCOM memebers are out on vacation, and that's why everyone's getting SUC'ed? Because I'm not seeing rejections either.
 
Hey everybody,

For those who have been accepted and plan to matriculate to the UWSOM, I would like to know who you are! My name is Michael and I am setting up a facebook page for E-2017. Send me an email ([email protected]). We can connect on facebook and I'll add you to the group. Psyched to meet you all 🙂

Hey Michael, this is Farzin. My email is [email protected], and I was accepted a while back, and already made a group page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/UWSOM2021/
I posted it on the thread a while back, but it must have died out. Let's not duplicate the page as it will confuse everyone, but if you're eager, please let me know and I'll make you the admin.
I'll email you!
 
Hello all. I am a current M1 Idaho WWAMI student and just thought I would offer my help if any of you have questions 😀 please feel free to send me an email! Good luck on the interviews!

Do they send post SUC acceptances/rejections in batches or do they wait until the end of March and do one big batch?
 
Has any Alaska WWAMI applicants received their interview date yet?

From my classmates, it's possible to be accepted at any of the meetings despite receiving a SUC. Same for rejections. Most people will just continue to receive SUC until the March meeting (like I was... 4 years ago...)!

Hi all just curious to see if anyone else is interviewing in the next few days in Spokane.
 
Hi everyone! I was accepted to the Spokane campus in November! I was just wondering if any one else that has been accepted has received an AAMC email for the background check. Thanks!
 
Has anyone that has gotten in, not received the AAMC email for background check yet? I haven't gotten anything.
Also, has anyone been able to set up their UWnetID yet? I haven't received their mail either, and it's been more than a month.
Speaking of not getting getting anything, I also never got a call from my EXCOM about my acceptance (emails and portal only). Probably nothing to worry about, but it's constantly on the back of my mind (what if the emails have been sent by mistake?). Anyone else on the same boat?

@BABSstudent Should I wait to worry about vaccinations and titers until a month before the classes start? I worry that for example my two step PPD will be expire too soon after I join the class.
Thank you!

Vaccinations and titers take a week or so to get done. It involves a couple appointments. The PPD will be fine as long as you make it to the first week or so of classes. They will give you another one at that time. If possible, fill out the forms ahead of time (when it is still valid) and then just go with the flow. If you need another one, oh well. Doctors are considered higher risk for TB and we get PPDs all the time.

I interviewed a second time on 11/30 and never heard back. A bunch of people who interviewed around my day got an SUC email right before the Holiday, but I have yet to receive any sort of correspondence! What could it mean?! Did they forget about me?

I haven't gotten an email for the background check yet. And I think the first ECAs (for the UWnet ID) are supposed to go out in February per their website.

Honestly, if you can, put off the background check for as long as possible. It's only good for 2 years. If you can wait, you will only pay for it one more time during 2nd/beginning of 3rd year. If you do it early, you will do it during winter of 2nd year and then again during 4th year for the last few months. It's expensive and a waste.

That's good advice, thanks! I just want to receive the email as a secondary confirmation, you know? The fact that I was accepted still doesn't feel completely real haha

Haven't received the email yet either and I was accepted early November.
 
It's possible that I got the background check email for another school, it doesn't specify a school name anywhere. I wouldn't worry at all 🙂
 
Ok shoot that wasn't supposed to be a humblebrag being like omg i got into so many schools idk which one it is....just had to clarify so I don't sound like a big douche (too late?)

I was on the same boat. Someone suggested, with decent evidence, that I was probably going to get a rejection, because they send out acceptances first, SUCs second, and rejections last. But I got accepted! So I think it could really be for any reason if they're not getting back to you. Don't really ponder about it too much (like I did), and I hope you hear from them with great news!
 
OKILUS said:
I'm pretty sure it's for all schools that participate in AMCAS background check (all MD schools except for the ones in Texas). I think DOs have their own seperate process.
Click to expand...
Yes I should have clarified better - I meant that maybe another school I was accepted to sends the certiphi email out sooner than UW (not all schools send them out on the same day), so I got it on behalf of them!

So wait until ~May-June?

Yeah, June or July if at all possible. Graduation is technically in June (hooding in May) so anything around June or July should be fine for only having to do it 1 more time and not 2.


Technically, I think July 1st would be the ideal date.

Is there a theory out there about when the EXCOM meeting will be this month?
 
@mooxamillion same here didn't get the SUC email. I called them and asked what's up and they said that not all still under consideration emails got sent out because of the holidays.

Oh wow thank you so much for calling and letting me know! I feel a little better now at least knowing I'm not alone!
 
I interviewed the week before Xmas, should I be hearing back soon? Or any news if they are meeting next week?
 
You should hear back on one of the three options (suc, accept, reject) whenever the next meeting is. I don't think anyone knows when that is though and with the holidays - could be anytime.

Officially got my SUC email after following up with them! Interviewed 11/30.
