I'm not sure, but I've also heard that once you have an II IS/OOS doesn't matter as much
Really hoping I get a call so I don't end up paying my DO deposit in 11 days lol...

I sent an email and they got back to me pretty fast. The next round of decisions won't happen until 2022. Looks like we're paying our DO deposits :/
do we know if they give people estimated 6-8 weeks for responses post interview? Bc for the August peeps it has been more than 8 weeks fasho
Has no one received a post-II waitlist decision yet? I find it very odd that a lot of us from August are still waiting to hear back. 😥
Nope, no decisions. They may simply be not doing a waitlist this year?
Maybe they're doing waitlists in April like other schools!
I emailed them and they confirmed this: applicants may not hear back until March/April for A or R and also that this is when the waitlist begins.
I called a few weeks back to ask when I could expect to hear by and this is what it sounded like.. she said I could be accepted anytime until April, and then they will go through the waitlist/rejections. I just think it's unfair to leave us waiting that long if a decision has already been made.
I figure it's probably a system where they're not making WL/reject decisions, and people who don't get accepted in one round maybe just get thrown back into the pool to be discussed along with new interviewees.
That's an optimistic way of looking at it! Fingers crossed for all of us waiting.

Did anyone receive the email that says you're still under consideration? I wonder if those come Monday. For people that interviewed in Aug/Sept, did that email come out on the same day as the acceptance calls last time?

Based on what I read last year, I think they give us a final/overall score out of 5 points after we complete our interview, so as the cycle goes on, they go down the list of scores and start accepting people with lower scores... which is why I still think it's unfair to leave people with low scores hanging until April. If anyone wants to confirm or deny this, please do lol
please correct me, but they won't accept any post interview updates right?

Have my interview this Friday, was just curious if anyone could give me some tips/advice on doing the MMI? Any topics/questions I should for sure know going in? Haven't done an MMI yet this cycle so it's got me the most nervous of all my interviews so far. Any help would be very much appreciated!!
Can’t go into too much detail, but let me just say that I had built it up in my head to where I was terrified when I probably shouldn’t have been. If this is your first MMI, I found it to be a wonderful intro to the MMI format. Just make sure to pace yourself appropriately, because the time can fly by!

Thank you, appreciate this.
For those who interviewed, is there a red exclamation mark next to the file review box on your secondary portal?

Yes 🙂
Hello! After applicants interview with the COM-T, they are placed under review where they go through a series of internal reviews. Since we have a rolling admissions process, applications continue to be re-reviewed each round and we make decisions starting in October through April. Unfortunately, this is the tough waiting period where we don't send email updates or provide updates over the phone. Once we have created our waitlist, we will notify applicants if they are placed on the waitlist at that time. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for your reply. So just double checking, the emails from last cycle (like below) that were sent every 2-3 weeks coinciding with rounds of acceptances are not being sent out this cycle?
"The University of Arizona College of Medicine-Tucson sent out a round of acceptances today. Although you have not been selected at this time, you remain an active candidate in our applicant pool. This is not a rejection letter. You will remain eligible for an acceptance at any time during the season. It is our goal to keep you updated about admissions decisions."

if so, I want in!
If I am still waitlisted for an II, would it be recommended to send an update letter if I have multiple things worth sending the letter for? If so, is it too late already?
unfortunately, per their WL emails, they do not accept updates or LOIs: "Also, we do not accept application updates or letters of intent"
Hi! Has anyone who was waitlisted for an interview received an II? Thank you 🙂
I did!
Giving me hope that I might get off the WL and have a shot... I have tons of family in Tucson and would love the chance to go to this school.
Do they accept pre-II updates? I don't see a spot for it on the portal.

No they do not from what I have been told.

So tomorrow is the first day in a while that they're supposed to send out some decisions right?!
I think they usually send out updates on Friday! so Friday might be the first day in while they send out some decisions.

has anyone gotten an R? or does everyone just get the waitlist emails until an II or R at the end of the cycle?
