Ignore this post if any of this is has been said. The following comes from the Director and Assistant to the Director at USACOM within the last week:
1. All acceptances for the cycle have been sent (~80 folks). This is, of course, due to AAMC requirement of med schools that as many acceptances as there are seats should be sent by March 15. Mr. Scott expects more than half of these to be null.
2. Any remaining applicants sans rejection have been placed on the alternate list (which, according to AAMC MSAR, is not a terrible place to be; usually 3/4 get accepted from USACOM's A.L.).
3. After April 30, the A.L. will become a source from which to accept students. (I assume the ranking system of the alternate list follows the same 10 point formula as we all heard about in our interview; though, possibly with more leeway since the applicant pool is by now greatly diminished allowing more time for holistic reviewing (this is purely speculative--let me know what you all think)).
4. Approximately 50 more acceptances will be sent (probably after the April 30 deposit deadline, when the bulk of withdrawals happen).
I hope this is useful information. Best of luck to all.
