That's quite strange. I have always gotten a reply whenever I have emailed, and they usually do answer the phones.

Are you using the correct email ([email protected]) and phone number? If so, I would keep trying because they are usually fairly responsive.

Yes, I used that email and called 334-699-2266. Every time I call, it just says that the secretary is not at her desk and to leave a message and that she'll call back. I emailed and called on Monday and have not heard anything from them.

People typically live in random neighborhoods off-campus, but Hidden Lake is a common one which is really nice. There are also a few people staying in Dothan that will be looking for roommates (myself included), so you can always keep a lookout for that! Anyone can feel free to message me about Dothan/ACOM, I will be working with the incoming class next year so I might be able to help out.

Way to compromise your identity of here bro 😉

I figure anyone that cares enough would know who I am based on my username anyway lol. I've never really understood the need for anonymity here unless you decide to go on a rant about your current school 😅

That's honestly the only reason for it. My identity is out there easily to find due to not caring but I always like mentioning it for the fellow classmates that may not have thought about it.

Hi there! I'm wondering if it's normal to receive a secondary at this point in the cycle? I was expecting a silent rejection since I didn't get an invite last year, but I got one today.

Probably a money grabber but if you got the money then maybe submit it

 

[BioPsychotic]

I emailed them and they told me they were out of 1 bedroom apartments, it may change closer to the semester

Summerfield typically fills up pretty quick, but in my opinion if you don't mind a 3 minute drive to campus there are much better housing options, and cheaper

Thanks for y’all’s input. I’m going to wait til I hear from another school before I figure out housing.

ACOM had their first optho match ever this cycle. They also had NS and derm.

just received secondary? are there still open spots

 

[HannahSparkle]

I think they are still looking to interview more.

My secondary invite was January after an August primary, and led to an A.

 

[DOctorCAL1]

Anyone recently got an II?
I’ve been on the pre II hold since august

 

[Shaggy_]

Besides the one lucky fellow (congrats!) who got off the waitlist back in January has there been in post II waitlist movement? Back in January, the admissions director said that there is about 35-45% of students who get waitlisted get off the waitlist. I haven't seen anything else.

 

[pinkjade]

Submitted my secondary 2/14. Got an interview invite 3/7 and I was ACCEPTED TODAY. I'm in shock. I really was going back and forth about submitting that supplemental because I thought it was too late in the game, but I'm so glad I did!

 

[LonelykingT]

Wish I got off interview waitlist- hold. I sent updates of more volunteering and another semester 4.0 but not enough. Wish everyone good luck as future doctors

Just reignited some hope for me. Hopefully I get the same

 

[srg777]

Just send them an email at admissions!

I emailed them but they never responded. Is there anything else I should to do? I never paid the deposit and the deadline passed. For people that withdrew their acceptance, what did you do?

 

[srg777]

Just withdrew my acceptance here! Hope it goes to one of y’all

How did you withdraw your acceptance?

 

[deleted994120]

Rejected just now after being on the waitlist since December. Good luck to you all!

 

[parasiteeater13]

was given R post-WL. Good luck to anyone else in the game.

 

[DOctorCAL1]

I've been on the pre interview hold since July. Just want to get the R already.

 

[AlphaKP]

was given R post-WL. Good luck to anyone else in the game.

How long were you on the WL? I didn't anticipate them to reassess the WL this early considering interviews are still happening.

 

[alssss]

II today. Quite surprised considering how late it is in the cycle? Also I never was notified of a pre-II waitlist or anything til a couple of weeks ago when they emailed me saying my file was complete. Odd but I'm thankful!

when did you submit secondary? also mind sharing stats?

 

[pinkjade]

…Was it just me because I didn’t even realize you could get rejected if you were on the waitlist until the end of the cycle?

 

[alssss]

when did you submit secondary? also mind sharing stats?

Not at all! I submitted my secondary back in the Summer. 504 MCAT 3x retaker (whoops), OOS, 3.8 gpa, not URM

[Doggirl99]

Hey! I plan on applying next cycle and wanted some input on how I stand as an applicant if y'all don't mind! My cGPA 3.58, sGPA 3.2, 491 (planning to retake in June), and I'm IS with good ECs. I hope to submit my application by Aug 1st. Do you think my submission would be late?

I would submit early if possible. Maybe right after you retake mcat? Slowly work on personal statement and EC writing.
