Was placed on the interview waitlist as well - do they place everyone who's OOS on the interview waitlist? Like is it indicative that our application is actually competitive if we were placed on the interview waitlist, or is that not the case?
Here is the interview tracker for anyone who is interested: Admissions Tracker | College of Medicine - Tucson
OOS, II waitlist today, complete 7/8

I am OOS but lived in AZ for 10 years. Where in the secondary can I indicate this, since there's no specific question that asks for ties to the state?

right now or earlier today? i'd be proud of an interview waitlist! Wanna give it away? 😛
About an hour ago. I think I'll hold on to it for now lol. I saw the word interview and got excited, then immediately saw waitlist...

Yesterday at 2:53 pm haha. Considering the email says "Your application completed the primary screening phase, but unfortunately, did not advance to the interview phase at this time. " I don't see it as a good thing lol.

II waitlist yesterday, OOS, complete 7/8.
Spoke to the admissions office today and was told they review II waitlist candidates every week. Since its the beginning of the cycle, they haven't sent out any rejections yet, but they will start sending them out shortly. Hope this clears things up

I think the issue is that they’ve been swamped with applicants. I’m guessing they’ll break through 10,000 applications this year... However, I’d much rather them go slower and methodically though our secondaries rather than rushing it. Shows that they care about more than just stats (which would be a much faster process).

9,940 (798 IS and 9,142 OOS).
They offered 505 interviews total, 289 IS and 216 OOS.
Per MSAR, they gave out a total of 515 interviews (228 IS and 287 OOS). Is this from their admissions tracker data?

Not sure when they report to MSAR (I never bothered with paying for it), but I'm going off of their admissions tracker from last year. I took screenshots of it religiously (every Thursday when they update it) because I knew I'd be paranoid about it this year.
Also, from their admissions report from the 2018-2019 cycle (published a couple months ago), this is what they said:
So... I dunno. 505/515.. close enough.

Based on the rate of secondary reviewing (and from someone I spoke with at admissions), I'd say you won't hear anything until at least 6-7 weeks after you submitted your secondaries. If you hit 8 weeks, I think it would be reasonable to reach out to them and ensure they have what they need.

Just out of curiosity, when were your secondaries submitted? thanks!
Complete: July 14. OOS and LM ~ 70
Yes, not rejected until you're rejected. When were you complete?

I submitted the secondary july 4th but my committee letter wasn't received until a week later.
last year I submitted late September and got an II, but I am IS and have a slightly higher LizzyM. If you're URM then I definitely would.

They interview through February. There is a 0% chance of acceptance if you do not submit. While you are a little late, you never know how things will pan out if you don't try.
you're right! thank you!!!
Sorry to hear that- but still not a rejection! When we’re you complete?
Completed 07/17 Hoping to get II in the next few weeks 🙁

Tracker update today:
At this time last year, they had received 8143 applications (668 IS and 7475 OOS). Seems to be a bigger interest from out of state applicants this year.
