Hey all, just an update- i found this in the campus preference email :
Do you think it will hurt our application even if we still send in a letter of intent? I just want to express my interest in attending the school in hopes of it helping me get accepted. Maybe we could call the admissions office to see if they allow those types of updates?
I got no confirmation but emailed and asked after I submitted the stuff and they said I was good. No deposit!
No, I know people last year who got II's in january
Hi there! I’ve been wanting to ask a current student to maybe speak on the overall culture at MCG. How would you classify the student and faculty opinions towards LGBTQ students? How about the Augusta area towards this community in general? Thank you for your feedback!
Hey! Appreciate that you asked this question but do not know how much I can answer it, however, I am a reapplicant and know a good number of people accepted last year. From what I can tell based in talking to them its a very accepting community! But honestly as a prestigious medical school I'd be EXTREMELY concerned if it wasnt! Hope this helps but maybe someone else has better insight
MCG is EXTREMELY LGBTQ friendly. The student-run equality clinic is the most popular clinic on campus; so much so that it can be difficult to find an opening to volunteer there. There are multiple physicians who you’ll get the chance to work with that provide hormone replacement therapy to their patients. We have multiple lectures over the four years about cultural awareness, the LGBT community, how diseases affect LGBT populations differently, etc. There is a transgender medicine elective and HIV/AIDS counseling elective that you can take in your fourth year, and I think one of the OBGYN attendings did a gender reassignment surgery last year. There are a lot of students who are LGBT members, and I’m pretty sure every student is an ally. We have pride lanyards and badges that are optional and a lot of students wear them, myself included. We also have a pride lapel pin that most students wear on their white coat in clinic. Our patients are very grateful, some of them drive 4+ hours to receive LGBT-friendly care at our hospital. It really is wonderful!
Thanks so much for your super thoughtful response! My partner and I will likely be moving to Augusta from Atlanta soon with our daughter, so I was curious what the environment might be like, especially since the school is my top choice and I’ll be applying this upcoming cycle. Really appreciate it!
I can say there are still interviews going on through the end of January, but I’m not sure when the committee meets again to discuss applicants.
Could you send me the link? I was accepted!! Thanks!
Stats?
509, 3.7, IS
Me. And I interviewed with them last year… kinda bummed out at this point
Can you send me the link as well please?
Last year, pre-II rejections were sent out on the 3rd Friday of January, and acceptances were sent out 2 weeks later (end of Jan) and 2 weeks after that (2nd week of Feb).
I got an email this morning for a background check but I'm not certain it was for MCG
I was accepted and received one as well, so chances are it's for MCG.
I think that wouldn't hurt to ask. Please let me know if you did call them. If not, I can also try to reach out to them!
Was MCG your only interview so far?
Yes, everyone who interviews gets that
Same. Just received a background check too. I interviewed 10/28 and still have not heard back from them (I've been very sad about this since many people in my interview group heard back in December). I have only interviewed/been accepted to 1 other school, so it could be that, but maybe it could be a sign from MCG? The background email says its for waitlisted or accepted students, so could this sadly be a sign we are waitlisted?
I believe you receive the background check email if you have an A or WL to any school, not just MCG
Hi! How long after your interview did it take for that email to come through?
No I interviewed 11/18 and haven't heard yet, supposedly decisions come out Friday morning
Current M4 here: I think (big stress on think) that the last interview is tomorrow. There might be some in February that I am just not aware of.
Do you know if the admission committee has been meeting/will release decisions tomorrow?
Do you know how long it will take for Results to come out for the last cohort's interview?
nope 🙃🙃
+1
Not going to speak too soon, but if this cycle is going to mimic last years, We aren't gong to hear this week-either next week or beginning of February. There were just too many weeks this monthly cycle lost to Holidays. Last year, I believe they released acceptances on the fifth Friday of January (1/29). If we translate that to this year it will be this coming Friday of the 28 or even later.
Thanks for the clarification! Now my HR can stop spiking every time I get a notification.
If I recall correctly, I think you're correct in that they'll release something on Jan 28, but I think they also released decisions the second week of Feb as well. After that was the WL movement.
tysm haha
Was this pre or post II?
