I believe in your very healthy gut! Also cuz it feels like it’ll be around month since the last II came out...
Hopefully it’ll happen! It’s not over till we get the R or school starts!
Rooting for you to get off waitlist! I imagine it’d be high given the fear people have about newer school and choosing other more established schools plus the speculation of more waitlist movement this year because of virtual interview hoarding. MSAR has no eatablished numbers though so it’s all speculation.
I'm turning down my acceptance. Like the previous person said, the fact that it's a new school means a lot of people probably used this as more of a "safety school" (which isn't really a thing for MD schools) and in state people who get accepted to UCONN or Yale will obviously turn down their acceptances as well.
Usually when interviews were in person, you had to like a school enough to invest in the flight/hotel and whatnot. It made it so if you had no interest in the school, you’d drop your II. However, with virtual interviews there’s no con to not attending because you don’t have to invest as much (except maybe time off from work). There’s been speculation on reddit that since there’s no con, people who are higher stat/get multiple IIs will hoard them with no intention of going to the school( and anecdotally I’ve seen remarks like this on reddit so it’s holding up so far). This means those people will reject/ drop the school later in the process which means there’s more room for waitlist movement later in the process.
yes they have, I saw some earlier in the thread!
No, I don't think so. I emailed Dean Collier asking about it and some other things. He said that students usually make these types of groups on their own. Maybe one of us could!
well damn, this is a comforting thought
do you mind PMing me the link to the facebook? I didn't get an invite and can't find it lol!
I believe I did!
I did, but I haven't gotten an interview or anything. I provided a syllabus in the "additional documents" section. I believe that is required.
Thank you for responding. How did you get a copy of the syllabus? I have been trying to get a syllabus from a former professor ( I graduated in 2019). He is not responding and I found out it is because he is on sabbatical this year. I'm not really sure what to do about it. I will probably call Netter. I do not believe the registrar would be able to give me a syllabus.
sometimes they are just online. try just googling it. people upload them to to like tutor and homework help websites sometimes
My undergrad saved all the syllabus for me unless the professor closed the course. I believe if you call the academic department, they should be able to fetch it for you
I used one english course and one writing intensive course for this requirement. I did not upload a syllabus to the portal and have been accepted here. The admissions staff is really nice so calling them would probably be helpful!
I am! Happy to answer any questions you have
Is there an admissions packet? It’s been a few weeks since my acceptance but haven’t received anything in the mail. How long ago did you get the A?
I was accepted on the first few days they were releasing them and just got my packet today!
I think we interviewed on the same day, probably gotta give it a few more days then!
I think we got our As the same day and I haven’t received a packet yet, so you’re not alone!
I was accepted on 11/5 and have gotten nothing yet lol
I mean I guess it's a nice touch given the interview group sizes are so small but it was sort of awkward for me because I'm a pretty cookie-cutter applicant and the other people in my group had super niche stuff like insane military experiences they could talk on and on about.
It was fun! I really like interview days with less than 10 applicants because you can actually talk to each other and get to know them, this was a fun activity.
congratulations!! Did you just receive the II?
I received it this afternoon. There were multiple dates open for January, but not Feb, March, and April, when I checked.
Hey! Thank you for being here/helping to answer our questions. I guess to start us off,
