Damn that's harsh most school just waitlist you even if the interview didn't go well. Sorry, I hope it goes well in this one.

Yeah. I thought WL would be the worst of it. Nope!

Thank you for the well-wishes though. Trying to have hope, but am also tempering expectations since this school doesn’t take in many students.

Dang, it just might be your time.

 

[Med4sci]

So do you all think we will hear notice tomorrow or do you all think next week will be the week

 

[BrettMontana]

Hopefully tomorrow

I’m really hoping tomorrow.. next week would be okay too, the sooner the better

 

[DocSherman]

Hopefully tomorrow

Simultaneously excited and nervous, in that case.

Same, i’d rather them get it over with

 

[DocSherman]

Yeah.

If they want me, good. If not, then that is that.

 

[Magnolias]

Agreed. I’d really love to know today, but they haven’t been moving particularly fast so far, so it seems next week may be more likely. 😖

 

[Med4sci]

welp didn’t hear anything on friday. So hopefully this week will be the week!

 

[BrettMontana]

How long is the turn around time supposed to be?

 

[Magnolias]

How long is the turn around time supposed to be?

I don’t think there’s a set time.

 

[doc22nontrad]

Has anyone heard anything or gotten a portal update?

Nothing so far.. I’ve been checking my email and the portal.

 

[totilue]

Has anyone heard anything or gotten a portal update?

Every time I see the 100% complete I want to scream 😤

 

[Med4sci]

Nothing so far.. I’ve been checking my email and the portal.

They send responses through the portal? I thought its only through email

 

[Magnolias]

They send responses through the portal? I thought its only through email

The portal will change from “100% compete” to something like “view decision.”

 

[Med4sci]

Oh okay, thanks. i think ill wait for an email ..checking online is too much stress

 

[DocSherman]

Yeah. I'm thankful for IIs, but Ponce doesn't have many spots open at the best of times.

This is all so nail biting.

 

[Magnolias]

It’s nail biting waiting for an answer, but it’s also nerve wracking to think about having to move in such a short time if we do get in. I know a last minute move won’t affect everyone, but… idk, I guess I’m just worried about all of it.

 

[Med4sci]

What if we all get in ☺️ how many spots are left again?.

 

[medmed1122]

I guess no updates/predictions for when we might hear back? Interviewed back in early May.

 

[Pinkscrubz]

What if we all get in how many spots are left again?.

I think there’s about 12-11 spots left still almost half the class available!

 

[sushiloverpremed]

Has anyone else been WL?? I literally feel like I’m the only one lol

 

[medmed1122]

[Pinkscrubz]

They told us in our meeting yesterday that there’s supposedly a long waitlist

 

[sushiloverpremed]

when did you interview

Feb 23 and heard in April

 

[sushiloverpremed]

Thanks for letting me know!

 

[medmed1122]

i wonder then if all of us who interviewed in march don’t have decisions yet because they want to see how many acceptees will stay/movement

Most likely the case! There’s one MSMS student in the accepted cohort that I know of for sure! Sure there’s more to come but no idea how many waitlisted people are non-MSMS! Wish you guys luck 🍀

do u know when the msms student that was accepted received an interview?

 

[spongebobcirclepants]

Did anyone ever post the secondaries for this school?

 

[DocSherman]

That isn’t surprising, but is frankly terrifying.

I’m wondering the same for MSMS students as well - the potential WL size.

 

[Med4sci]

There weren’t any secondary prompts

 

[spongebobcirclepants]

There weren’t any secondary prompts

Thanks for the reply. So they sent out IIs based on primary only then?

 

[Med4sci]

i m

I mean you still have to fill out the secondary but I guess you can think of it like that

Did the accepted MSMS say when they interviewed? And got their acceptance?

 

[Med4sci]

Right i need to know all the info lol

 

[doc22nontrad]

How many people on here are previous MSMS students that have interviewed?

I am and i have

Do you know if they are still interviewing other alumni or are they done?

 

[Med4sci]

Do you know if they are still interviewing other alumni or are they done?

From what i know from past cycles and from others, they typically start interviewing in april and the last completed ones are the end of april . They don’t normally still interview in may.

 

[rhead714]

I know someone last year who was MSMS and interviewed last year in June

 

[totilue]

I just think is odd that no one has been rejected, and there is only 1 person in the thread waitlisted.
For me its been 3 months of complete silence.

Did they get in?

I agree 100%. Makes the waiting game even more thrilling..

 

[ElBrujoBueno]

yes they did.

I heard similar things when I was in the MSMS program as well.

Wonder how they make the determination for who truly makes the cut for immediate admission? The interviews are definitely a factor, but I'm sure everybody does decent on them sans some crazy outliers.

Could it be MSMS grades + other parts of the records? I'm hoping the former has a big play in decision making, though I unfortunately wasn't at the tip-top of my cohort - I was probably on the upper tier though.
