Does anyone else keep getting the Campus Preference email even if they have already submitted it? I am wondering if I did something wrong.

I did too. I think you are good. I'm pretty sure they sent the email to everyone.

Anybody know if UAB offers stipends to help accepted students attend Second Look, and how those would work in that case?

I actually asked them about this recently and they said that they can only provide stipends and/or reimbursement if you qualified for the AMCAS Fee Assistance Program.

You guys don't think that everything going on with Coronavirus will postpone decisions going out tomorrow right? I know some schools are closing down...not sure about UAB. Anyone know?

No idea but doubtful, most things that are canceled/postponed are done so due to the requirements and liability of asking students to travel. Decisions involve people sitting in a room and spreadsheets (and I like to think a pizza party).

I'm a UAB undergrad, and as of now everything is still business as usual. I could see them cancelling soon though, and they announced second look was cancelled.

Nope, I have been constantly checking their twitter account. They normally tweet when they are making offer calls...and it's normally around 6PM EST. They've tweeted nothing today though...worried that the coronavirus affected their committee meeting day. You are not alone. I am stressed out too.

OSS , hoping for that slim chance
 
What are the chances of waitlist info coming out soon since all people have been reviewed?
 
Would they email that to us or show up in the status page ?

Has anyone heard anything?

I expect the bulk of the calls to be made tomorrow. I suspect it was a long day for all the adcoms who want to be with their families

So their tweet says all Regular MD apps have been reviewed. Do you guys think this includes Primary Care track?
 
No I haven’t heard anything. Freaking out lol. And yeah I figure it prob does include primary care.
 
I looked at old tweets and I don't think waitlist info will come out this week. They said they would let us know "by early April." I take that to mean that they worked hard yesterday to finish reviewing all interviewees, and the next meeting will be to construct and place everyone on the waitlist in the order they want. My bigger question is now that interviews are done will they move to meeting every week or continue bi-weekly?

Good question, but did anyone heard anything? I'm not sure if they did call accepted students already. :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:
 
I haven't heard anything either. I am assuming they have already called lol. I saw from earlier in the thread that people normally got calls around 930AM the next morning. :/

So sorry, this whole process is just a crapshoot, seems to be very little rhyme or reason to anything sometimes. If you don't mind me asking did it come this morning in email?

Again I'm so sorry, I think we all know the feeling here and the amount of effort to get those stats and experiences is substantial. Best of luck moving forward/with other schools. I truly do not understand this process any more than when I started.

Fellas. October gang here. If we have not caught an R email, does this mean that we are likely to be waitlisted? Or will there be more R waves before the waitlist is created?

October here as well. Pure conjecture, but I am preparing myself for a final big R wave to cut before the final waitlist. This is not based on any past years threads because I don't have the patience to dig through that. Just simply what I am preparing for.

I interviewed Feb 13th and am definitely expecting waitlist or R.

I am fully expecting a WL spot. If you are in state they have like a 75% post interview acceptance rate, but there is no time frame on that acceptance.
