2020-2021 Medical College of Georgia at Augusta

Is this just for lab settings or all class settings?

All classes unless there's a special guest or a reason to wear your white coat. For anatomy lab, we wear scrubs, so on those days, you can wear scrubs to class.

Yeah, basically no athletic wear. You can wear jeans, pants, shorts/skirt of appropriate length. For tops, you can wear tshirts, but no tank tops. It's kind of flexible as long as you're not noticeable lol. I could get away with wearing joggers or yoga pants if they looked nice.

So basically high school lol

When did you receive the email?

 

[gaman19]

When did you receive the email?

9:01 this morning. I thought they normally don't send out background checks until March for accepted students, so I just wanted to make sure it was legit and not some sort of scammer.

Hmm, weird. Yeah, maybe there’s a lag. I wouldn’t be worried.

Where was this said?

 

[ihaveAquestion826]

Where was this said?

It says on the portal under the important information and required documentation tab and I believe they stated that in an email regarding campus preference request

 

[premed30452]

where in the secondary application do we upload the confidentiality agreement? I can't find it under the required documentation tab

 

[ihaveAquestion826]

[doctorhappypants]

Do you guys think Jan decisions come out tomorrow?

i looked at last years thread, and I don't know that they released decisions on the third Friday of Jan. It seems like they just did a bunch more in February so not sure

[the.retina.guy]

Did anyone get an A today? Or did they not release decisions today at all?

 

[ahhhsomanyquestions]

Did anyone get an A today? Or did they not release decisions today at all?

I got a pre-II R today so there's def some decisions being made ):

 

[SurgicalCowboy]

I just called. They said they no decisions went out today as they normally do it at the end of the month ( I thought it was the 3rd Friday no matter what). She said it will probably be next Friday. If someone wants to call and confirm that, it'd be great lol

 

[dtugadawg]

Is it true that once decisions start coming out in February they typically release them every week?

 

[curiouskathy98]

Has anyone been able to confirm this? I haven’t been able to call yet.

 

[jpc2017]

for people who got the background check, how have you been handling study abroad for the part where you have to list all of the residences you have lived at?

 

[curiouskathy98]

Just received pre-II R. IS/LM:66/Complete 8/18

 

[Curiousaboutdisease01]

Post-II R this morning. I am disappointed as this was my top choice. IS, 512 MCAT, 3.9 overall GPA, 3.7 SM GPA. Good luck, everyone!

 

[curlydoc123]

Haha same, I guess so far it's looking like decisions didn't come out this morning

 

[toffm]

Looking at last years thread & the year before, there were no decisions sent out in Jan but they sent out A’s the first week of feb then WL the next week.

 

[slay123]

Decisions for acceptances come out until the end of March correct? I mean before they start waitlisting everyone who isn’t rejected?

 

[sirborbus]

If they conduct matters the same as last year, there will be waves of acceptances sent out the first couple Fridays of February followed by rejections and waitlists notifications during the third week. It looks like anyone accepted after that was from the waitlist.

 

[woodenrick]

When do accepted students find out which campus they have been placed at?
