Been waiting all week for today, while also expecting the disappointment of last week of no movement at all. 😅
I'm dead inside because of this wait

I'm gonna be really sad if there are no calls today, and then the WL comes out next Friday (which would be in April).

Hey guys! I saw that the average acceptance was 508 last year, it seems to me this year they’re looking for a higher score judging off of my friends who all have been accepted this cycle given that they had 4.0s and a hard science research background. Going off of that, for those who don’t mind, could you share your stats? I have a 509 and 3.8! And I understand if you don’t feel comfortable sharing.
Haven't been accepted but I kind of got this vibe from the admin during the interview day.
Honestly I think this is what's going to happen 🙁 I would love to be proven wrong though
They always accept higher stats/more competitive people first. The acceptances aren’t done, so they will begin to accept lower stat applicants as the cycle progresses

It’s because they have to keep up with UA Phoenix’s 514 MCAT average (they don’t wanna be left behind)

Do you remember what they said specifically or what gave you that impression? I'm trying to remember if I got any specific impressions during my interview day, but it's honestly all a blur at this point.

Really hope that's not the only reason. Stats aren't everything. I would choose Tucson over Phoenix any day if I had the choice.
They showed the stats for their current accepted students for this cycle which was like 3.7-3.8/512 at the time and made a comment about trying to maintain/increase their MCAT average. Also, the addition of research-integrated curriculum made it seem like they were trying to recruit "higher caliber" students. Maybe my memory is distorted though lol and this was in November

Why would you choose Tucson over Phoenix?
As a native Tucsonan, I would also choose Tucson over Phoenix but I have an ingrained bias against Phoenix due to our intense rivalry haha

Mostly I prefer Tucson bc I love that Tucson has the Bilingual Medical Spanish distinction track, which Phoenix doesn't offer. I also would prefer to live in Tucson over Phoenix, bc I think Tucson fits my family dynamic better. I'm not saying anything negative about Phoenix or its program; I just personally prefer Tucson.
I just got the call! They’re coming out today friends (first time posting but I have been reading the forum since and I have come to know some of you on a superficial level, forgive me if friends is too formal). It’s been a journey. Stats because I know I’ll get asked : MCAT 504, sgpa 3.61 gpa 3.7.
OMG!!!!!! CONGRATSSSSSSS. And thank you for telling us!

I don't think so. Their website says it will be coming in April. I'm betting it will be in two weeks.
Anyone else just chilling and waiting for that deferral email? 😌
Lol literally me every Friday

I'm so numb to it at this point.

LOL 😂 I saw that too... To be honest I am a little disappointed in them. I thought they had the most communicative and helpful admin out there, but seeing this makes me feel like they might not care about how difficult it is for all of us out there waiting to here from them.
