I am also an OOS trying to get in this current cycle, and I emailed a recruiting guy about this and this is what he told me after I told him I had lived in Arkansas for 5 months before my application:
Thank you, that's very useful!
There was a provision that would allow for someone who married an Arkansas resident or someone who moved to the state for full-time employment to be determined to be an Arkansas resident. I suggest you email the Office of Admissions to explain you will be exiting the military and establishing a home in Arkansas, hopefully with gainful employment. It would be worth asking.
Probably any minute now.
UAMS technically does not have an "early decision" program. They simply review a small number (approx 25+) of highly qualified Arkansas applicants with complete applications in both December and January. UAMS does not have rolling admissions. There could be equally qualified applicants whose decisions are made in February but perhaps their file was not complete at the time of the earlier reviews. With the exception of those made offers in the two months noted, all applications will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee in February. Letters will be mailed at the same time to those who are offered positions, those on the alternate list, and those to whom they will not be making an offer. Remain hopeful.
Earlier offers are based on complete applications that meet the high standard for being reviewed early.
The number of non-Arkansas residents admitted to each freshman class is limited to 15% of the total class.
It's on everyone's page! I check it daily lmao, but we won't get our final decisions from GUS.
Looking back to UAMS’ Facebook posts from previous years, it seems like letters are usually put in the mail right around the 25th.
If it takes them a week to sort and process after decision week, it depends on which week is decision week too
Same. Speculation helps me deal with anxiety/excitement too
Is this for in state or out of state letters?
Based on previous cycles, in-state and OOS applicants get their letters at the same time (at least for the February wave). When you actually get the letter depends on how far away you live from Little Rock, as that’s where they’ll send it from.
Final decisions made this Friday. Letters mailed near the end of next week. Wishing you each the best outcome.
Thanks for the info! Does this include out of state kids too?
Yes, all letters will be mailed on the same day.
Only if we’re really lucky
Please let us know if they post about mailing out the letters!
I saw that they implemented their inclement weather policy yesterday (closing non-critical campus areas) but resumed normal schedule beginning at 10 am today. Unfortunately, this might have caused a delay in mailing the letters.
So it may be today, tomorrow the traditional 25th or even latest by Monday the 28th. Good luck everyone!
In previous years have they posted when they mailed the letters?
Yes, they've posted on Facebook the past 3 years once the letters are in the mail
I'm so excited to catch this R!!!😂 good luck everyone!
congrats! I'm surprised they made it to oklahoma already! do you know if they were sent in priority mail?
Congrats! Was your A in a big envelope? In past threads I heard that big envelopes mean an A and small, regular sized envelope means R
