2020-2021 Arizona - Tucson

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Mmm got that tasty hard R in the inbox. Looks like this old man is off to Phoenix!

My best to the Tucson crew, and may the WL shake out nicely for those still waiting!
 
Got waitlisted probably giving up my spot given that I have been accepted to some other MD programs. Good luck everyone!
 
Got the R (second time receiving an R from U of A). I’m off to Houston, luckily.

To those without any acceptances this year, I understand the pain. You’re all worthy of an acceptance to medical school. Kick some ass next cycle.
 
Post II R for me as well. Feeling down because it was my state school and only MD interview.
 
I also got the R today. Super bummed but onto the next! Best of luck to you all!

Got rejected as well...Phoenix here I come!!! I think it is probably for the best. Hopefully we get to be classmates.
 
Post-II R after many long months. ORM, IS and only have ties to this state, and kinda shocked to be quite honest. Oh well, congrats to the As and best of luck to the WLs!
 
post II R .

Wow I thought I killed my interview - reapplicant to the school, served on my states COVID policy team, NCAA national champion, good mcat and gpa, created a women's health night for latino women in my hometown, did a ton of research, and many many many ties to the school including SOM alumni parent

really shows how random this process is 🙁

I agree I could go on and on with the stuff I did to try and appease this school specifically. From the wild course requirements to going well out of my way for rural experience etc. Etc.

In the end this is why i applied DO. Very thankful for that now because I ran the table for the last six semesters ( All A's) and it still wasnt enough for them.

Hopefully I see some of you in our residencies!! 🙂

I think what happened was they filled all their spots and they only chose REALLY unique applicants for their WL, or applicants with extremely strong ties. I felt I had an incredible interview and I tried to show my interest and passion for the school, on top of a good overall app, but I think they just don't have the spots left. Congrats on getting in somewhere though, that is a huge accomplishment and you should be proud!!
 
I wasn’t going to post on here either after the post-II R today as it was really tough for me, but I wanted to share something with you all. I was in a Starbucks after receiving the email and I’m not sure if I just looked down or what, but I was standing next to an old man and he asked me how my day was going. I responded and said not the best as I had just been rejected from my top medical school (thankfully I still have 4 waitlist opportunities), but we ended up having a long talk and he told me how his son got rejected from U of A law school twice but he ended up in a law school in Seattle, where he didn’t necessarily want to be as his first choice, but it ended up being the best place for him in so many ways. He ended by saying he believed he was meant to run into me today and “He would see me as a physician in a doctor’s office one day”. I left with chills and happy tears and just thought I would share with you all. I know it has been so hard for a lot of us today but rejections are just a redirection to where we are supposed to be in life. We will all get there one day 💛

Thank you for sharing! ❤️
 
Anyone thinking they will notify a couple lucky people from the WL tomorrow? As some of these people with 3+ Acceptances should be withdrawing acceptances.

Thank you @jkdenton16 and @heavenhelps for the updates. So considerate of you to share. I know you don't have to, so I (for one) appreciate it!

It's been said in here before but the wait for this kiLLED me. Admissions is as transparent as they can be. They are doing a good job of balancing it (other schools could learn a thing or two from them), but for all my fellow neurotics, I know the questions will never stop until there’s a definitive answer, and those questions might not be answerable until far later. There's ~40 in the waitlist, about 36 students are holding acceptances at other schools, and 15 add of now have left. There will be decent movement I think. If I knew this much I wouldn't have worried or been nearly as anxious waiting and just let it run its course. We're all in this to ease suffering, how lucky we get to start with ourselves and colleges.
 
If I accept the offer right now, is it binding? I have 24 hours to make a decision to originally accept the offer. On the portal it say June 24th is the commit to enroll date. Do I not need to worry about the acceptance being binding until I select that on that date.

Idk the answer to your question; I would call them and ask for sure, but I don't think it's binding until you CTE. Definitely call and ask, though.
 
Does anyone know how specific there pre-req requirements are? Specifically the 2 semester of upper division molecular bio, immuno, etc. I have one sem of Biochem, one of UD genetics, one UD cell bio, but then my only other UD bio would be another genetics course or neurobio.

Does anyone know if the neuro would fall into the categories they require? I have an II from them, but will most likely decline if I don't meet their requirements.
