I was also notified of "top high tier" waitlist status on 05/05 and I sent an email last week notifying them that I was interested in remaining on the waitlist. They replied and said they anticipate waitlist movement "in the next 3 weeks". So hopefully we start to hear some good news soon!

That gives me hope! thanks for sharing also notified of top high tier. Have you been planning on retaking MCAT or anything of the sort yet?

I was accepted to ACOM so I’ll be going there if not accepted to Campbell!

 

[mandyads]

I was accepted to ACOM so I’ll be going there if not accepted to Campbell!

I've noticed something between CUSOM and ACOM... they seem to have a lot of the same acceptancees (if that's a word). I wonder if they tend to attract a particular type of student. I've talked to about 5+ other students making the same exact decision between CUSOM and ACOM. Very interesting!

That is interesting, I wasn't aware of that! I'm originally from FL so I mostly applied in the Southeast! I personally prefer CUSOM because I liked the area a bit more and their board scores were slightly better

 

[Peterboyce]

Did anyone get a number in their tier update? For example “you are in the TOP 20 TIER”

 

[Kelso3187]

I was just told which tier I was in. I wish they would tell us our number though

 

[Kelso3187]

Does anyone know if there has been any waitlist movement recently?

I am also top high tier on the waitlist and have not heard anything yet

Hmmm weird. I thought we would have seen more waitlist movement this month.

 

[quantum-dragon]

Is it possible that they are on vacation currently? My fiancé is a professor and faculty member at another institution and he often says that faculty goes on vacation usually the minute that classes let out.

 

[bluebreeze]

We just had our virtual accepted students day yesterday. That could be the reason why things are slow

 

[Cwelteroth]

They said movement is slow this year in a previous email

How was the online AS day? Do you feel you had any good opportunities to meet your future classmates?

 

[bluebreeze]

This of course is just my person opinion/experience... but it wasn't great as I hoped. The majority was students listening about info from faculty, most of which we already knew or those who didn't could have found out about it on their website or a google search. We did have a part where we broke out into virtual groups with current CUSOM students, but unfortunately mine had some technical difficulties and we didn't end up talking with a student (this is probably why I didn't find it great lol) which is where I would have had asked the most questions. They did have a Q&A with some students that joined the faculty though so that was nice and I learned a few things cool from them! I was also really really looking forward to going to the school in person again and of course nothing was going to live up to that. I'm just looking forward to school just beginning and then beginning able to *hopefully* meet everyone (dean didn't say if we were going to be all in-class, online, or a hybrid of the two yet).

 

[Cwelteroth]

Just got my acceptance email so the waitlist must be moving! Good luck everyone!

Congratulations, that’s awesome to hear!! If you don’t mind sharing, what was your interview date and waitlist ranking?

 

[Cwelteroth]

Congratulations, that’s awesome to hear!! If you don’t mind sharing, what was your interview date and waitlist ranking?

I was Top 20, and interviewed April 29th I believe.

 

[quantum-dragon]

I was Top 20, and interviewed April 29th I believe.

I was notified that I was “Top High Tier.“ Is that different from Top 20?

 

[Cwelteroth]

I was notified that I was “Top High Tier.“ Is that different from Top 20?

I would assume? In the email I received it said “Top 20 Tier.”

 

[quantum-dragon]

I would assume? In the email I received it said “Top 20 Tier.”

Are you sure? In an email I received, they said, and I quote “Remember, we will not be releasing the number of candidates on the wait list, or the number of candidates within each tier or your rank within the tier. The designation you received is your final ranking, it will not change. Being selected for the wait list is an achievement. Please be patient, our wait list is moving.”

A designation of “top 20” is directly contradictory to their assertion that they will not release the number of candidates within a tier.

I meant I assume it’s the same, my apologies. I mistyped. I am positive that is what my email said, and I just re-read it to make sure. I’m not sure why mine was different than others.

Veryyyyy interestinggg... I might go ahead and pull the plug on this waiting game. Sitting on CUSOM’s waitlist is like having an itch I can’t scratch, lol. Especially, if there is a “top 20” within the top tier itself. I’ve already committed elsewhere, but I was hoping to see what the final decision was for closure.

Congratulations to you & to everyone else who is accepted!

Application Withdrawal: 6/2/20

Was accepted into top my choice, but hoped to see if I would come off of the waitlist. Waiting was driving me crazy, so I finally withdrew my application. Goodluck all!

 

[quantum-dragon]

Best of luck to you. I am stuck on the waitlist as this IS my top choice.
Has anyone perhaps heard of someone who was accepted off of “Top High Tier” last year?

 

[jboogie500]

Anyone ever done a FELS loan with CUSOM?

 

[mandyads]

Best of luck to you. I am stuck on the waitlist as this IS my top choice.

The answer to that question is probably yes! Current students have said that many of their classmates came off of the waitlist during April/May. I imagine these people would have had to come off the top tier list, however, with the introduction of a potential “Top 20” lost, I can’t be completely sure (just a disclaimer). I’m also not sure how much movement the past classes saw around June. The administration did mention that this is an abnormally slow year for them, but I wouldn’t give up! It’s not over until orientation begins - there are so many potential moving parts!

Best of luck to you!

I just received my acceptance for Campbell class of 2024! My first choice!

I'm very glad to be a part of the CUSOM family. Does anyone have any information on the class schedule at the moment?

I don't believe we have received that yet. Though we also don't even know if we'll be online or not yet anyway lol

Ah, that's okay. I'm just hoping to be able to finish up stuff in my current state/grad institution without having to rush to NC since I think I have some finals around the July orientation date. (But ofc I'll work with CUSOM and my current grad institution with that)

We have the basic class schedule and outline. July 29 is supposed to be orientation.

If you go to this Link on the Campbell website it will have a class list for each block! Hopefully, we'll find out more specifics soon

Congratulations! That's so exciting! Did you do anything in particular like send a letter of interest/intent or call admissions recently that you think helped you get off the waitlist? Campbell is also my top choice and I sent a letter of interest back in April, so I'm not sure if there is anything else I could do at this point to help me get accepted. Thanks!

Thank you! I sent an update letter back in April and I sent one last month because I have been doing well in my graduate course and I recently joined a group for contact tracing, in addition to a few other activities. I would recommend to find ways of getting involved with contact tracing or tutoring through Zoom/from home and send an update letter if you have any other things you've been doing. Best of luck to you!!!! Hope to see you there.

 

[DoogieHauser]

I was just accepted to one of my state schools in TX, so a seat will be opening up. Best of luck to you all.

 

[quantum-dragon]

Does anyone have the current CUSOM residency placements? I know it’s somewhere on this thread but I don’t remember where.
also they’re updating the residency placement part of the website so I can’t see it

 

[lilqt123]

I was bored haha so I compiled the 2020 match list from 4th years self-reporting on a google doc plus some extra info I gathered from CUSOM's match day Facebook post. I don't have every single match but this should give you all a general idea of which programs CUSOM students tend to match to.

I also had notification of Top High Tier in May and I am still waiting. I have taken great liking of the school during my on campus interview. I hope we all hear great news soon.
