I was looking at the match list for Neomed and was seeing that most of the matches are in Ohio. If you want to match in the south due to personal reasons, is it still possible from Neomed? I had to drop off the waitlist of a school in my home state to CTE at Neomed and now I’m somewhat scared I might not be able to go back for residency?

Keep in mind that NEOMED is a small state school that looks for people who want to stay in the area, so a lot of the students do stay in Ohio. That said, as long as you do well in your classes, exams, and clerkships, there is no reason that you couldn't have a normal shot at out of state residencies.
 
I wonder if we'll still have waitlist movement past this week since accepted applicants were required to CTE by June 15th and I feel like most applicants wouldn't CTE if they weren't actually attending the school.

NEOMED is usually 50/50 in state/out of state matches. A lot of people match in state because they WANT to match in state. One thing that's important for residency apps is "why would this student want to come here." If you want to go back to your home state... thats a pretty compelling reason for you to write about in your PS/do your aways there/talk about in interviews. For example, if you look at NEOMED match list and see people matching in California... a notoriously hard state to match in.. most of those students are from Cali anyways and are able to go back home for residency.

It's definitely possible. You'll have to work a little harder than if you went to Case Western for example but its definitely something you can work towards!

Yea, I guess so.... the wait is getting excruciating. We might hear something next week (still mid June I guess) because I believe they might be backed up due to COVID-19. I’m still hopeful but it’s definitely getting harder

Hi! I am in the mid 80's and I did submit the reapp unfortunately :( I figured I didn't want to jeopardize next cycle at all. To me it was worth it to spend the $1000 and (hopefully) get some good news from NEOMED in the meantime.

Does this mean our waitlist ranks don’t mean much and they’re picking who they want? So confused

The real question is, did those who got accepted pay their deposit and drop another opportunity? Because big yikes.

You'd think they would have send out an email or something by now considering the severity of the issue.

I just got a response back. They basically said that COVID-19 has impacted them and that they are still making offers and I still have a shot. So idk if they addressed the issue
 
@Kwon1 I got a similar response, he made it sound like they aren't going based off of the ranking anymore and have a separate "rubric"

yea they basically said, “one of which is making offers of admission in rounds this summer with a recent round-specific variation in weighting rubric factors.” so what’s the point of having our ranks

Sounds like to me they might be weighing location you're moving from more heavily bc of COVID and maybe academic factors bc they want students who are going succeed regardless of COVID challenges to the curriculum?

Regardless that really sucks... feels like they need more justification to make such a drastic change.

Send it. Seems like rules flew out the window. Do whatever each and every one of you can to get a seat in next years class. Good luck to everyone. I hope the outcome is fair and what you want it to be!!

Agreed with JustTryingToHelp. Sorry this is happening to y’all; I’ve never seen something like this either.

What does this even mean..

I'm assuming it means that they decided to change up their admissions protocol in the last few weeks and now go "Lets admit x amount that have the highest score in y criteria" and y changes for each "round"?
