Anyone else losing hope on the waitlist? Been on it since December.. and classes starts at UNE in a month and a half. I'd give anything to go here!!!

 

[Qkwip]

Just saw that someone was pulled off the waitlist today, per the UNECOM Facebook group.
This is the first I've heard of any movement.

I'm both elated and scared out of my mind, hah.

 

[TakemePRN]

Any current students know if UNECOM does a drug test on orientation or beginning of school?

Has anyone already accepted their loans? Is there a deadline?

I am having difficulty assessing how much money I would need.

Here is what I would suggest, go ahead and take the max amount that you can. Then take some time to determine how much you will realistically need. If you figure that out within a certain time and you have taken too much, you can return the excess and it will be as if you never took that money.

 

[ololona]

Thanks, allanMED15.

 

[bk132541]

Anyone else hear of any more waitlist movement?

 

[TakemePRN]

Just Withdrew. Really hope it goes to one of you guys! Good luck!

 

[bk132541]

Has anyone else tried to contact the admissions office to see if they could get some information about the WL movement here?? I tried emailing the admissions coordinator and he didnt really give me much info to work with.. just wondering if anyone else was luckier than me.. really wish they would let us know about our ranking or whether they expect movement at all..

One can go M.D. after matriculating at a DO school (we've seen this happen at my school), but not to another DO school.

So
M.D.-> M.D.? NO
DO -> DO? NO
DO -> M.D. yes
M.D.-> DO? Maybe on the planet Zool, but not here on Earth.

Completely random question but for someone going MD from DO do they need to repeat years completed at the DO program or they just transfer?

They'd have to somehow make up the missing OMM/OMT material.

There should be at least one more coming! I withdrew my spot from here to take another spot at a school closer to home! Hope it goes to one of you!

[bk132541]

Any more news on wl movement?

 

[medschooladed]

Removing myself from the waitlist so one of you guys have an increased chance good luck!

 

[bk132541]

Welp.. orientation is a week from today... not looking good for us WL folks

 

[milesofsmiles4]

I'm feeling the same way but hey, there's still about 3 weeks left for some spots to open up Though obv a bit stressful, I know of people who have been accepted the week after classes started. Have a re-application ready just in case, and if we end up in that boat they do offer application feedback, which I thought was nice since I'm not sure many schools do that. They also told me that submitting a re-app after the new cycle has already been open for a few months won't negatively effect your chances for interview, so there's that. Fingers crossed, though!

Have you tried calling the office to show them you’re still interested?

 

[milesofsmiles4]

No but I'm probably bff's with Chris Tripp by now for as many times as I've emailed him with questions lol and since January I have intermittently sent a letter of interest, letter of intent, and update letter (the latter being just last week). I think between all this they get the gist that I really, really want to go here. Have you called?

I sent an update letter and a letter of intent. UGH!!!

 

[allanMED15]

[DrCanada]

Well, it was fun waiting with all of you! Rejected today from waitlist saying class was full. Goodluck everyone on your next endeavors!

[DrCanada]

Earlier today, I was probably a lot lower on the waitlist :/

 

[bk132541]

They are probably just sending them in batches? Now to impatiently wait for my rejection letter

[Norm_the_Moose]

Did anyone have a missed called from them too?

 

[ololona]

They accepted two people from waitlist on the second day of orientation.

Can anyone let me know if I would be wasting money applying here for the 18-19 cycle with my stats?
cGPA 3.7
sGPA 3.5
MCAT 499
OOS
URM: AA
Published research
Non-trad
Thousands of volunteer hours
2 DO LORs (1 from former UNECOM student)

I would give it a shot only if they don't have a minimum MCAT cutoff; I think a few DO schools have a 500 cutoff for II. I remember UNECOM liking higher MCAT scores. Other than that I'd say apply as a URM with great grades and an eh MCAT.

I had very similar stats to yours (including the same MCAT score) and I got an interview there last year! It's definitely worth applying and it's a great school!

I think you definitely have a shot!
Are you from New England?
Apply regardless

I applied to UNECOM last year, really wanted to attend, and didn't get an interview despite top 20 MD interviews. I'm still salty. Not literally of course, cause im not soaking in that biddeford sea spray.

Thanks! Yeah that´s what I was nervous about, their average MCAT is pretty high as far as DO schools go.

Thank you!! Always good to hear from someone in a similar situation.

Thanks! I´m not from New England but I´ll see if I get any love from them.

 

[Peterboyce]

I didn't get my acceptance until late june last year. Some class members got them the day before class. Have hope!!!

Hello! I’m currently on the waitlist and was wondering if you have any advice? I see that you got accepted pretty late and wanted to know if you did anything to help your chances of getting in? Thank you!
