2021-2022 Utah

[futuredoc2515]

518 mcat with over 600 hours of clinical volunteering and 2000+ hours of clinical work. Have only around 250 hours of research though.

Geez sorry - not trying to act like I know it all. It is so arbitrary in the order in which they interview, but statistically, odds are in your favor.

I absolutely disagree. You are not in the admissions committee so please stop acting like you know it all.

Utah interviewed 64% of its IS applicants (364/566) last year.
That's pretty close to 2/3 of the IS applicant pool.

It seems like research is important to them, I’m def trying to get more publications if I have to apply again. But ya their process is mind boggling. There’s still time tho.

 

[sankeytime!]

Any acceptances recently?

Got an acceptance call from Dr. Chan Dec 1st! Interviewed on Oct 25th.

For reference, I have a 524/4.0 and interviewed at several “top” medical schools, and no love from Utah, my state school.

I have noticed a steady decline in the MCAT and GPA averages over the last few cycles. I wonder if this new approach will impact residency placement for future classes either positively or negatively. I think Utah has done quite well historically in placing students in competitive specialties. It is one hesitation I have about matriculating. I have to decide now, but only time will tell.

For those of you who interviewed, did you send a thank you note and if so, did you write one for each individual interviewer or did you write one in total lumping the interviewers together?

I wrote one for each interviewer and sent them all to the admissions email.

Did you feel like you had enough to say for each one? I felt my interview was more them asking questions versus having a conversation so I'm confused how to relate my note back to my interview.

Not really I pretty much wrote the same things for all and tried to say one or two specifics from each but it was kinda hard to.

 

[C-M]

Got an II today.

 

[Fleggers123]

Does anyone know if Utah released any admissions decisions today?

 

[Futuredoc???]

Got an II today.

Congrats! Stats?

 

[tandapp]

Just got a pre-II R. Very sad, because I have lived in Utah on and off and have a lovely community in Salt Lake. Not surprised because I don't have residency or tangible connection. At least they put me out of my misery! Hoping I'll be able to move back one day. Good luck everyone else

 

[jack326]

Damn pre-II R IS. Not even going to bother applying here again if I have to reapply.

[blant1]

Anyone with a November interview heard anything?

 

[M_F]

Pre II R here with 521 MCAT 3.91 gpa, research, and clinical experience so not exactly sure what I did wrong here

That’s really odd. Are you IS or OOS?

Is it normal to see rejections from UUSOM in the middle of the cycle? I thought they didn't reject until March.

 

[Celiac4Lyfe]

Just checked my spam and had a pre-II R on 12/10. Not devastated because I'm OOS and did not have ties to the state, but it was worth a shot! Good luck everyone

I don’t remember this last year but idk. Post-II rejections don’t come until March unless something has changed.

Keep your head up! Someone I know who was part of the admissions process there for a while said they couldn't believe the quality applicants that weren't even interviewed! Good luck with your other applications! Hopefully you don't have to reapply!

Damn. Looks like I may have been skipped over (11/1 interview). Wait until April/May then I guess to hear anything?

 

[deomnibusdubitandum]

I got a call just now from an unknown number but it was R&R bbq calling me to tell me they were out of mashed potatoes for my online order. I got all excited for nothing lol

Hi! Does anyone know when the latest interview date is? Do they interview into February? I saw on the thread from last year there was interviews on February 1st and 5th, but not sure if that's the way this year?

 

[skigirl97]

Has anyone who interviewed around 12/3 heard anything? Should I just assume I have been waitlisted or rejected?

No, I don't think so! I wouldn't worry until March.
