Not sure if it was a typo since today is Thursday but another round of acceptances are suppose to come out today? Maybe since it’s coming up to Spring Break weekend? Has anyone heard anything?
-thanks, from your fellow anxious pre Med

I think it's tomorrow because they only call on Fridays. The committee meets on Thursdays I believe. I can be completely wrong though.

Thanks for responding! I thought so, I wanted to be sure since Admissions responded to this thread stating March 05 would be the next time.
Yeah no totally! I'm also just as anxious! I'm putting positive vibes out there for both of us!!!
Feel free to PM me to share your neuroticism hahah

Thanks for the update! UA is on spring break next week but maybe admissions doesn’t get a break
So they aren’t sending out any today?
I GOT AN ACCEPTANCE CALL JUST NOW!!! This is a dream come true. I’m a total underdog but I knew I had a unique story. They are truly holistic in their choices!! Good luck to everyone else!!

It is very real. But since I interviewed back in August, I’ve gotten so many that I guess my reaction is more “F you” when I open U of A’s waitlist status emails lol

Can someone explain to me why they chose UofA Tuscon over Phoenix? What are the biggest differences?
My MCAT blows.. I studied hard and couldn’t imagine retaking it. LizzyM is 65. All my prereqs were community college and several (biochem and all of physics) were online. Numbers aside, my application is strong with 10,000+ hours of direct patient care and multiple international volunteer trips. I spent months writing my personal statement and preparing for my interview, I think it was well worth it in the end!
Well deserved acceptance! Stats aren’t the most important determinants of whether someone will be a great doctor or not and Tucson does a really great job at getting well-rounded, committed students. Best of luck to all the rest of us waiting to hear our decisions in the next few weeks!
It’s coming to an end fingers crossed for all of us hoping!
I think each school has its own pros and cons. If you're looking to be exposed to more clinical sites in a major metropolitan area then Phoenix is your best bet. I'd say just explore their websites and offerings a bit. I have friends at both institutions and they like where they are.
We sure can hope!

I doubt it. They've had acceptances every other week for the past little while. Plus, admissions is usually pretty good about posting updates on here.
being quarantined means I have more time to overthink and worry about the delayed response lol but otherwise, alive and well
Ditto that.

Thanks for asking! Now it feels like I'm trying to forget two nightmares - 1) waiting to hear back from waitlists 2) this virus and the state of our health! LOL How about yourself?
No clue but fingers crossed we hear something on Friday 🙂
Hello- We will send decisions out tomorrow.
How many acceptances still remain? I saw somewhere that there would be 250 admittances sent out and was curious on how many are still left. Thank you very much!

It's kind of a shame they don't accept letters of interest or intent, because I'm assuming that you would've loved to put that in writing and describe that. Congratulations on all of the other acceptances!

I really appreciate that! Yes I agree, it would have felt nice to share my level of interest with them. And it just feels surprising because I tend to interview well overall and felt very strong on interview day. But who knows. Wasn't meant to be. I guess I'll end up South, Midwest, or Northeast instead of Southwest! I hope this application cycle goes splendidly for you.
