2019-2020 Arizona - Tucson

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Not to be the bearer of bad news, but I did some research on this interview hold dilemma and based on the 2018-2019 cycle it is not good news. I only saw about 5-6 SDN users come off the waitlist to get an interview while an uncountable number got put on the waitlist. The majority of people who recieved the interviews received them directly without being put on a wait list. I think only a couple openly admitted a pre-interview rejection so I am not sure the exact number of pre-interview rejection to pre-interview wait list applicants. Needless to say there is a chance, but the odds aren't in our favor.
 
Welp, the email informing me of being placed on the Interview Waitlist was in my spam folder 🙁
 
Well y’all, I think after some consideration I’m going to treat this hold like a R. Better if I focus my attention on the other schools, as opposed to holding out hope to come off a list that doesn’t see much movement.

Good luck, everyone!
 
To give you all some hope, last cycle I was put on this interview hold list, interviewed in December, waitlisted, and accepted after traffic day. Don’t give up hope, it can happen! A good amount of people in my class were accepted off the waitlist as well. It’s still super early in the cycle so don’t fret!
 
Anyone actually receive and R or is everyone getting II waitlists?
 
to give some of you hope... I was put on the II waitlist on 8/8 and received an II today! OOS
I like your attitude! I choose to view my interview waitlist positively as well!
I got an II-waitlist today 🙂.
I was complete on July 8th.
Y’all pessimistic/statistics oriented people stay away from my happiness.
Congrats to all of y'all!! I haven't heard anything back at all and was wondering when y'all were complete! Thank you!
 
II Waitlist right now. Hispanic, Bilingual and LM of 71. Would have loved to interview here given it’s patient demographic. Oh well
 
How did you guys approach the mission question on the secondary? I am kind of confused if they want us to talk about how we would advocate for the underserved or if they want us to describe how we exhibit the qualities they are seeking (i.e. altruism, academic excellence, etc).
 
For the clinical letter, can it be from my supervisor from when I worked as a patient care coordinator with a clinic?
 
Also got the pre-II hold today. No idea how to feel about it, especially since nobody seems to know if they’re masking an R this way.
Sorry to hear that 🙁 Did they email you, or did you have to check the portal?
 
Is it crazy that only 552 IS students have applied? That seems really low.
 
You guys think that no news is good news at this point if its been over a month since we submitted our secondary?

I think no news is good news this early on in the cycle. If we were in February I'd be more concerned, but there are still people out there submitting primaries! I looked back at SDN forums last night, and some people sent in primaries and secondaries in like mid September. It's not an R until you're told it's an R!
