Has anyone who applied to the MSTP heard anything yet? There's only been one person who has posted an acceptance in the MSTP acceptance thread, and no post-interview rejections have been posted yet.

I'm an MSTP applicant too, and haven't heard anything yet, except for an "under consideration" email earlier this month.

They are very cagey about how the lottery system works. This is MY understanding of the process from everyone I've spoken to/what I've seen online, but it might not be totally accurate, so take it with a grain of salt

People accepted early decision, accepted into a scholarly concentration program, and those with certain scholarships are placed at campuses first. Then, everyone else gets placed. They don't rank students, students rank the campuses. Then it is a "random" lottery but from what I've heard, its based on the time you were accepted. For example, they'd take everyone who was accepted in Oct/Nov and hadn't been placed yet and put them in a pool. Then they places everyone as best they can according to submitted ranking list and number of spots left at each campus. Then, they would repeat for eveyone accepted Dec/Jan/Feb, then March/April. Once a campuses spots have been filled, nobody else can be placed at that campus. For waitlist spots, if someone withdraws the person who takes their spot is automatically assigned to the campus they withdrew from.

oh ok that makes sense!
 
Hey pals, ranking the campuses and choosing the “I accept” button on the applicant portal doesn’t bind you to IU, right? Nothing is binding until I do stuff on AMCAS, correct?

Can you send an LOI even though you don't have an A yet? Asking because I would 100% attend Indiana if accepted.

Why would you send a letter of intent if you already got an A? As far as I know, you can send it a few weeks after your interview if you have not heard anything. Rooting for you bro. I am sincerely praying that a few others on SDN waiting impatiently for an A get it too.
 
How likely is it to receive your top choice? I put Indy at 1 and Bloomington at 2, I'm worried that Indy will be too popular and I'll get passed over for Bloomington because I listed it second and everyone who listed it first will get it before me.

Also, does anyone have any info on the Fort Wayne campus? Discussions on it are sparse online. Does it have good research and leadership opportunities?

That was also my concern. Like I know it’s already a low chance that we get Indy, and I read that if you put a regional campus at 1 you’d get it almost guaranteed. But I’m not sure how the lottery will work in your scenario, I was actually just thinking about that yesterday hahaha

Oh no 🙁 did the interviewers say that? Kinda wish for consideration to MD track too if UMP doesn’t work out. UMP seems really competitive

Yeah my interviewer told me that. I also thought the exact same thing, and asked questions about the general MD track which led to the interviewer telling me to withdraw my application. I'd recommend treading carefully if you have an interview coming up
 
Does anyone know how long it takes for the final transcript to be verified by IU after they receive it?

Huh. This is all pretty confusing because I swear someone earlier on this thread applied to UMP but got into the regular program. I also called the general admissions number back in September and asked whether we would be considered for both programs and they said yes. At this point, I'm not sure I want to call to clarify if I might just be told to "withdraw my application" for asking

To clarify, I am an OOS applicant, and I was specifically told that was why I would not get in through the regular program. So I do believe you are considered for both, it was just in my case I was told it wouldn't be worthwhile.

I got scholarship offer today as well as my campus placement, so I think certain scholarships give you priority campus placement outside of the lottery for those hoping for their #1

I might be wrong but think they give early scholarship to those (who have a high MCAT score (52X)) and the campus of their choice so that they attend. I know a few from past years who got it but withdrew as they got into the top med schools.

My MCAT score was no where near 52X and I received the early scholarship offer. It's more merit/recruitment base if they really want you to attend I think.

Did you fill out all the pre-matriculation stuff on the portal (like the FAFSA, transcripts, etc) awhile ago? I'm wondering if they are more likely to give out scholarships if you've turned it in early or something
 
I mentioned earlier in the thread, I got a scholarship without having done any of the pre-matriculation stuff ( FAFSA, transcripts, etc).

I also don't have anything close to a 52X MCAT, and IS. I think they really give scholarships to individuals they would really like to attend. That could be based on high stats, or other parts of the application. Nothing to do with FAFSA being turned in.

I did not.
 
Just got an email that my UMP application had been rejected but I remain under consideration for the traditional MD track. Interviewed 8/31, IS.

My heart just dropped, got the "your application remains under consideration email" again.

I think every month when they start reviewing the pending applications that mail is sent to everyone. It is not a negative thing as your application is still good. Good luck to you all waiting , it’s tough but there is still hope. Does anyone know if they are done interviewing?
