How's your community service EC's? These schools take their mission fairly seriously so if you haven't shown a penchant for serving the community that may be an issue.

I felt I had sufficient volunteering, though compared to my clinical employment and research the amount of hours was definitely lower. As a non-trad working full time I tried volunteering when I could. I see your point though, thanks.

Hi all,

I wanted to reach out as it has been a couple of weeks since my last post. I just returned from the AAMC National Conference in Boston. It was great to meet some of my colleagues, learn some new ideas, and, most importantly, our school participated in the AAMC Minority Student Medical Career Fair. A highlight of any day of mine is when I can meet potential candidates and students just like you!

I have seen a few themes developing since my last post. This has included where we are in the admission cycle and how many interview seats we have left to offer this season.

As for interviews, this cycle we have 330 interview seats available and have offered 205 interviews to date. With that, we have 125 interviews left to extend.

As for extending offers, we have made 53 to date! It is a great group of candidates and we hope each will choose to study at COM-P.

As for those on hold, I want to pass along that this truly is a positive. The Admissions Committee is heavily weighing your application and – hopefully – you will get a phone call from me soon extending you an offer! The next time I will be calling candidates will be this upcoming Monday, November 13th.

As for those denied, I understand that it certainly wasn’t the news you wished to hear. Hopefully hearing early in the season will allow you to adjust your strategy as needed and – in the end – get an offer to one of your top programs!

One other item our team wants to bring to your attention. Some of you have reached out to us as you haven’t yet received a secondary application to date. Email domains such as Hotmail/AOL/MSN can reject our emails so be sure to check your spam email folder. If you do not see anything, you are welcome to reach out to us directly at 602.827.2005 or [email protected].

Great luck moving forward and I hope to speak with many of you soon!!

All my best,

Dr. Fogerty

Accepted last week, September interview. OOS, LizzyM ~75. I know there is banter here about high stats and OOS candidates and so I wanted to give my perspective. I was thrilled to be accepted and was attracted to the school’s culture, certainly, but also to the opportunities UofA Phoenix offered (research, scholarly project, small class size, clinical partners, match results of previous classes, etc.). At my interview day, I felt like I belonged here and had “that feeling” traveling home. I feel like I got in largely due to the unique aspects of my application and by weaving those aspects into my MMI responses to remind my interviewers about why they invited me in the first place. I’ve also been accepted elsewhere and it will be a really tough decision for me. Hopefully that helps anyone else considering UofA Phoenix in this application cycle or future ones.

congrats on your acceptance! I was wondering if you can share a little more about "weaving aspects of your app into your MMI responses"

For those rejected pre-II, did you receive a phone call or email?
 
For all of you who were rejected, would you mind sharing the date you were complete?

Complete end of August, OOS, have not heard anything. I'm hoping this means I am still in the running - seems like an amazing program!

If you're comfortable sharing, do you feel like your interview went poorly/have any idea why you were rejected?

Personally, I thought my interview went fairly well, so I don't think that was the reason I was rejected. I think I'm pretty strong in other areas of my app too, so unfortunately I don't have a concrete answer for ya. I was accepted to UA COM Tucson though, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with my status at UA COM Phx.

Does anyone know the acceptance rate post-interview? I know around 330 interviews are given, but I'm not sure how many students get acceptances.
