how do they view multiple mcat scores and should i offer an explanation for why my first score was much lower than my second if it was due to unique circumstances? i dont know if it's better to say nothing or say the reason bc it makes sense why my first is very low and my second is more accurate

If you look at prior year histories, there may be several in state acceptances coming soon, if the class size is 120.

I don’t think they will see it negatively, my initial score was a 492 and the second score a 506, and still got accepted. They see your progress and really admire resilience.

did you provide any details on your mcat scores? the difference btw the two? did they ask?

Yes. It looked like at least 30 more in state acceptances if not 40? Of course, that's assuming they still do the 50/50 is/oos ratio.

Same for me, I agree. I was 495 to 506 & admitted as well!

I just got pre-interview rejected from the Pathway Scholars Program (the SMP).

I am so sorry to hear that. Hopefully you will get an acceptance and would not need the program. Sending you tones of good vibes.

Anyone else super in love with this school but trying not to get their hopes up because their VITA was absolute trash?

 

[justtryingmybest123]

Any accepted/current students know how/when financial aid information is posted for UACOMP?

+1 Was/am super hopeful. Everyone here seemed so enthusiastic about being at UACOM-Phoenix. Also, the dean stayed for every presentation the entire interview day. That didn't happen at any of my other interviews. This is the only school I interviewed at that made any attempts to give students downtime between difficult learning blocks. They also have amazing mental health support. This is SO important.

Totally off topic for this page, but this past week, a friend at another school said she had already used up her allotted psychology/therapy visits. It is 3 weeks before the end of M2, and they put her on academic probation. She had passed every other block. Considering how INSANE this year has been, you would think her school would have taken the 'cap' off of mental health visits? I totally get putting students on academic probation, but then to leave them without support.... It can literally take months before you can get into an off campus therapist.

So the next day that deferred students can hear a decision is this Monday, March 15. Do you all think this is probably the final day for decisions? Either A/R/WL? It seems to be getting pretty late in the cycle to continue kicking the can down the road.

Yep I think that is a reasonable guess. I would estimate that ~15 more acceptances would go out on Monday, which has been the typical number for decision days recently. Everyone else will be WL (or stay deferred?) or receive an R. From there I would expect about 50-70 applicants to be pulled off the waitlist from late April to early June as accepted applicants withdraw their applications.

Lol if they tell me they’re so stuck on a decision that they need another week just to waitlist me, I swear...

Is there any chance of hearing back sooner than the date given during the VAVD?

Don’t think that has ever been reported on this thread. So I’d say no, I’m sorry 🙁

 

[doctortall2017]

good luck to anyone waiting to hear today. Sending all of you good vibes.

 

[wya2020]

Does everyone get a call or if we aren’t accepted do we get an email today ?

me trying to see if my state lit up on the admissions tracker on their site but it hasn’t been updated yet

They call for acceptances and email for deferral/WL/rejection!

Normally the tracker will not update until a few days after the decisions are released. Hope that helps so you don't have to keep checking all day.

Edit: Also, that map next to the tracker does not reflect the admissions for this cycle. It has not changed throughout the entire cycle and I have been accepted since Nov and my state is not lit up.

 

[wya2020]

When does that email come out v calls ?

 

[finallyamedstudent]

Emails have been coming out around 4:30 every time

[finallyamedstudent]

[wya2020]

[viralhiker]

Since its already noon AZ time, I'm guessing they're probably done for the day? Man, four months since my VAVD, this is getting brutal.

[babitha]

Maybe they’re just waiting to reject us all together on March 22nd, with the final VAVD attendees 😬

 

[maddilinemarie]

The last decision day will actually be 4/5 for the VAVD attendees on 3/9, which was the last of the cycle.

 

[greatchanges]

Does this school allow updates?

 

[acceptme123]

Not until after a decision has been made. Basically only if you are waitlisted.

Thank you. Do you know if WL is ranked?

I have no idea unfortunately

 

[MEngland226]

I think they did forget to send the email. (For 2/9 interviewees). I emailed this morning, when there still wasn't any news in my email inbox to see what's up. As soon as I hear back I will let the thread know. Thanks ya'll!

 

[greatchanges]
