Anyone needing a place to stay that does not want to do student host or a hotel, that may be needing a ride or just anything related to the interview day and Tucson, shoot me a message. Wanna be there for you all that may be visiting Tucson and offer any help or advice that I can! :)

To add on to this, my friend called their admissions office and was told that UA would be offering about 6 more interviews.

Well, I'm pretty sure that ~6 people posted on this thread about still being in waitlist limbo, so I'd say that number sounds just about perfect to me.

But in all seriousness, a huge shout out to your friend for calling and getting the deets. That is the kind of go-getter we need in medicine.

I have a weird feeling those interviews will be sent out this week (probably Wed or Thurs). Hoping one of those 6 IIs is for me :nailbiting:

Did they say anything else? Regarding acceptance rates and things along those lines?
 
I wonder how many people are on their interview waitlist. I've been on it since 8/15 lol

They did not unfortunately. But earlier in this thread, I believe that the admissions commitee send they were accepting fewer people outright this year.

They notified P-MAP applicants of their status on Jan 24. Class size for P-MAP is 10 for this cycle, so the current count is at least 94.

Are you referring to the P-MAP students who are currently in the program and will be matriculating with the MD cohort currently interviewing? Or the PMAP applicants that start the PMAP program this fall?

Thank you for that question. The P-MAP class I was referring to was the one interviewed this current cycle. I just deleted the post to avoid confusion. It seems most of the active participants here applied for regular MD.

I know the pre-reception said casual clothing is reccomended, but how do you guys interpret that? Especially ladies, what did you wear or are you going to wear? I'm thinking either dark wash jeans, a top, and casual blazer with flats, or a sweater with some casual slacks... not sure.

The reception I went to had everything from yoga pants to a full suit... I think dark jeans/business casual is great! I’d wear comfortable shoes as there was a lot of standing/good amount of walking

There aren’t any admissions people there— only students! Nobody is taking notes on what you’re wearing or if you even attend the reception (if I’m remembering correctly)

What day of the week do acceptance/WL/R notices go out for those who have interviewed?

Yoga pants are not appropriate except in the gym or running casual errands. Best to keep those at home - you really never know who is there and some students are on the committee and report back.

Acceptances are usually sent out on Fridays. We do not send rejections for people who have interviewed until March. Our next round of acceptances will happen on 02.07.2020. Those that have recently interviewed (01.25 and 01.31) will not go to committee until next week. They will not get a decision for another few weeks.

For anyone who doesn’t get in, don’t feel disheartened. UA-T: The #1 hardest school to get into, with a 1.9% acceptance rate.

Edited to add: Apparently the internet can't make up its mind. I have to wonder if things like the below posting are partially to blame for the sky-rocketing number of applicants which caused the acceptance rate above...
