I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but does this school take update letters?

Same, I emailed them yesterday night and the admissions person emailed back saying she won't be in the office until 1/5/2020 and she will check the required documents and send a confirmation email at that time.

Ended up getting a school I'd take over cal med. Declined the II and withdrew my app.

What dates were available to you? I got an II 2 weeks ago and only had 1 date available in April. Wondering if any other earlier dates opened up.
 
Anyone else get the background request but when trying to sign up it says your access wasn't on file?

It’s just a personality test that they will use when constructing peer groups in the future if you happen to attend the school.
 
Does anyone know if this school offers federal loans for the 2020-2021 year?

During my interview day, they said that they're in the process of being able to but that they're not sure whether it'll be available during this upcoming year. Right now, the only guaranteed loan available is through Wells Fargo.
 
Hey, has anyone who has been accepted and already paid the $100 deposit withdrawn and asked for the deposit back? I’m not sure if I’m supposed to withdraw online or via email...and I also want/need that money back lol

Anyone waitlisted hearing anything back? Last years thread, people on the waitlist were hearing back in January but maybe I shouldn't expect anything until April?
 
I just recently found out I was waitlisted post-interview. Do any current students know how likely it is for us to be accepted off the waitlist? Or can you comment on how many current students were in my position and eventually got accepted?

Thanks!

When did you interview?
 
Shoot I interviewed 1/10 as well but haven't heard back yet, hopefully on Monday they send the rest of the decisions out

Do they plan on giving out IIs till May like last year or is there any reason to think they're going to stop earlier this year?
Click to expand...
The May IIs last year were a weird anomaly due to the school not meeting its projected quota of students. It probably won't happen again. The last interview date for this year is in mid-April; once that gets filled up, there probably won't be any more IIs.
 
Does anyone know if they offer acceptances to people currently on the waitlist on a rolling basis? Or do they only give acceptances to the last interview cycle and everyone on the waitlist will have to wait until May?

Thanks!
 
Does anyone know how the enrollment agreement works? Is that used to reserve our spot or is it an agreement that we will 100% enroll in the university?

When I read it, it seems like it’s just to reserve our spot. I could be wrong, but I don’t think any school could ask us to commit 100% at this point.

Yea, that's what I figured, but the language about legally binding and all that jazz made me want to double-check. Thanks!

Were you able to hear back from them? I know sometimes it takes two to three weeks to hear back since the interview

No not yet, anxiously waiting haha. Looking through the thread they don't send all of the decisions out at once, someone had to wait a month before theirs came so who knows how they do it in the committee meetings. It has been almost 3 weeks for me now

Oh I see. Hold on tight! Hopefully you can hear back from them with good news! We just have to wait and see.

So curiously, this school is one of the few still open to AMCAS primaries as of now. Worth sending?

When did you interview? Did they update status on the website? I interviewed on 1/17 but saw nothing on the website yet.
