Members don't see this ad.

any other mid-november people get excited every week and then hear nothing

All the time, it’s really difficult haha

 

[funnb0nz]

I wonder how many people they go through every week because I feel like they’ve been going through November interviews since January 🥲 it’s March and it still seems like a good fraction of us haven’t heard back yet still

 

[sheep0614]

I wonder when early/mid December II results will come out 🙁

Update: In infosession they said 10-12 weeks, and that they are meeting weekly

I just attended the Virtual Engagement day and they said that they review 30 applicants every Thursday. They also said 8-10 weeks from Kira submission. I’m on week 12 at this point, but not giving up hope.

Oh wow 😯 Did they happen to say how many interviews they gave out?

They said 600 interviews were done and the class size they want is 130 people.

 

[c@tlovers]

How many applicants does this school typically waitlist?

 

[SkolVikes]

We thinking they're finally gonna be into December this Friday?

 

[Semsemrocks]

Really hoping they do

Seems like last week was another mid-November meaning 2 more weeks worth of interview dates to notify….do we know what the latest date notified on Friday was?

Looking back 11/16 seems to be the latest date notified. So I think for those that interviewed in december we'll still have to wait a couple weeks 😭

 

[HeyBabyBoy72]

I would love to see some waitlist movement this week pls cusm

 

[femalecyborg]

I would love to see some waitlist movement this week pls cusm

would it be possible this early 😳

 

[Semsemrocks]

would it be possible this early 😳

Probably not considering they haven’t even looked at everyone’s application yet haha

 

[aspartamelover]

I emailed admissions a little while back and they said waitlist movement doesn't start until late march - mid april! so theres some time left before waitlist movement

First reported waitlist on here for last years class was 3/4 with about 10-15 coming before April 30th. Depends when they finish sending out As but most of those moved off early seemed to be IE residents

 

[infiniteregress2020]

IS received. Yikes at these questions, and also wondering why the secondary fee waiver isn't applying!

Interesting, some schools last cycle didn’t let me waive the secondary fee either despite FAP. One school, MUSC, didn’t let me waive my secondary fee on the grounds that “they are a state-funded institution in South Carolina and they do not abide by any federal or national institution regulations”.

Were there any interview invites during those weeks though? I don't see any on SDN, big gap from mid-Nov to early-Dec

 

[YEEP]

Does anyone know how long is the Virtual Engagement Day? I have work and I really appreciate it if someone would tell me aprox. how long it is?

the one I went to went from 10am to 1:30PM! they also don't mind at all if people leave early, so if that's your concern then you'll be ok 🙂

 

[YEEP]

Thanks for the response 🙂

AYO CONGRATS!!!

 

[watergirl7]

I’m sorry of this has already been asked/answered but is there a group chat for those accepted to CUSM?

 

[premedboosa]

Is there still even a chance they’re accepting applicants without waitlisting them first? I’m just getting a little nervous since it’s late in the cycle now and they haven’t even reached December applications.

 

[aspartamelover]

I have a feeling they are still accepting people. They have a very unique Admissions process I feel like lol

Hi! Also wondering if those who got off the WL have IE connections? Thanks!

No, I’ve been invited to the one in April but I hadn’t even RSVPed
