Has anyone gotten an acceptance yet?

Yes! I got my acceptance phone call on 9/13 🙂

 

[snailmailturbo]

When is the acceptance confirmation form due? Does that go out at a different time from the tuition deposit?

 

[judeloaf12]

Hi! I was recently accepted 🙂 however Im PBL and have heard not so great things. Thoughts? Should I look into changing?

I’ve only ever heard good things about PBL. What did you hear?

 

[judeloaf12]

I’ve only ever heard good things about PBL. What did you hear?

I heard that it was much harder and way less manageable. But that was just once source hopefully it’s great

 

[AHHH24]

anyone know when the next II wave is coming?

 

[medhead24]

As far as I’m concerned, the curriculum is the same for both tracks, just in a different order. I really do think it comes down to personal preference and what kind of learner you are when choosing between the two. People that are more self guided love PBL, people that need more structure love SGL. Perhaps the person you spoke to didn’t choose the track that best aligned with their learning style. They emphasized the importance of choosing the right track a lot in their open house, so it’s definitely handy to know what kind of learner you are when choosing your track.

Just had the biggest scare got a call from admissions and thought it was an A I put down no campus preference and they made me choose over the phone. Any student input on which campus is better? I said Stratford, but I know Sewell is the newer one for PBL students.

 

[theOzoneColor]

Any one else get an email about the PBL session and thinking about attending?

 

[mddo2022]

The same thing happened to me. I got the A about 3 days later. Don't know if they were correlated.

 

[from_clubs_to_scrubs]

Does anyone have an idea or know if there’s stats/any info around the post-interview acceptance rate? Like what percentage of those interviewed get an acceptance?

 

[medhead24]

The same thing happened to me. I got the A about 3 days later. Don't know if they were correlated.

omg I hopee I’ll update if I hear back

 

[Andrea Roy]

Interviewed on 9/28, ED, and I didn’t put down a campus preference but never received a call about it. Is this essentially a sign that I got deferred or rejected or has anyone else who didn’t put a campus preference received an acceptance without a call to confirm it 🥲

 

[Soogreat]

Is there any IS applicant who is still waiting for II? This school is one of my top choices so I hope I can get one.

I just wanted to say congratulations to all those who got accepted the last couple of days! I have been seeing you discussing and stressing in the thread for a while and I glad you received good news! Good luck!

Can I ask if you know why you guys found out a bit earlier? Or how you know they’re sending out more next week

 

[Dr. Zezima]

I think the next round of interview decisions go out tomorrow. Hoping for the best for all who are still waiting on their decisions!

 

[medhead24]

I think not all interviewers call, but mine called Friday right after their meeting. It was an informal acceptance, so we haven’t received the official acceptance yet via email. That’s coming out this week (confirmed).

 

[Dr. Zezima]

Accepted this morning! So excited <333

 

[william4347]

Have you guys who were accepted found
Out what campus and curriculum you are in?

 

[Dr. Zezima]

yes they tell you in the email. I believe it’s not set in stone though, you’re allowed to request some changes

Congratulations to all those who were accepted, and good luck to those still waiting!
Less good news here, via email yesterday: placed on "Alternate" list, which I gather from prior year's thread, is one tier below the HPWL.
Secondary submitted 9/5, interviewed 10/3. OOS. 3.51 cGPA, 519 MCAT.
Really liked the school, so of course, pretty disappointed.

I’m so sorry! Such a killer mcat so definitely surprising…

Keep your head high! I’m sure you have other acceptances coming your way 🙂

 

[AHHH24]

Does anyone have input on The pros and cons of PBL and SGL curriculums?

 

[AspiringDoc2000]

For folks who got the interview invite or have already interviewed, is it a all day process? Do they assign a specific time of the day or can you choose the time slot?

 

[anonymousgrapefruit]

Is receiving an invitation to the PBL Q&A a good thing or does everyone get that invitation? I tried to sign up 30 minutes after they sent the email and the sessions were already filled so I couldn’t get a spot. Is attending this session crucial? This is my top choice and no II by now is scaring me. In state, ORM, 3.4sgpa 3.5cgpa, 510 mcat but complete early ish September.

I got the email as well and no II either. I don't think it is considered in the application process and is just an optional session to get to know more about the curriculum.

 

[acuesta]

Has anyone who interviewed on 10/18 or on adjacent dates heard back yet? Any acceptances?
