Interview Feedback: CA University of Science and Medicine

I can provide a bit of information that may be helpful.

The school hasn't started looking over applications just yet so don't hold your breath at the moment. They'll start in the next week or two, I've been told, so expect secondaries to start coming out in a couple/few weeks later on in August.

As far as interviews go I was told the earliest interviews will be in the later half of September (more than likely starting in the last week of September).

Hopefully this provides a bit more of a timeline for you all.

Pretty sure they haven't any secondaries yet.
CUSM is one of the last 3 secondaries I'm waiting for :)

Anyone know the max amount of letters of req this school accepts? Three are required and I see MSAR lists the max as 10 but I don't see it listed anywhere on their site
 
I spoke to a few M1 and was told they don't have a student loan lender for their school so I wonder if this might have cause the delay. Does this also mean something happened with their accreditation?

Nothing to do with accreditation, had to do with the previous loaner deciding to back out. As far as I know we’re on schedule for accreditation and there’s a decent chance federal loans will be secured by next academic year (which means you guys won’t have to deal with private loans).

As far as delay, I know this school tends to operate later than most and they’re still trying to hammer out kinks. I got my secondary last year in early September so honestly I would expect something similar this year (hopefully earlier though). I also haven’t talked with admissions recently though, so I’m not entirely positive where they stand

The GOAT has spoken. I will patiently wait until September for my last secondary. You are an actual legend on Reddit. Do people on SDN not realize who this is?

+1 the one saying you made a change in your AMCAS designation?

EDIT: now it's saying it's unable to authenticate me :laugh:

When I try to open the secondary it says "
We're sorry, the application activity you are trying to access is no longer available. This is due to a change you made to your AMCAS designation.
Please contact the school if you have any questions."

I received the secondary but I was a reapplicant from last year. When I try to access the secondary, it takes me to my completed application from last year. Anyone else having this problem?
