My favorite part of my faculty interview was when I asked what makes AWSOM unique and he said it’s not

why is this actually so funny

 

[MS7733]

Maybe there will be significant waitlist movement. I imagine most high stat applicants with multiple acceptances will give up their seat to go somewhere more established.

 

[JackieMD2B]

Oh well, it seems no one has been rejected post II so my chance of getting an A is not great. I thought I did well on the interview but I guess it’s not enough

@LateApplicantKing this is us

[tacosalad11]

OOS pre II R

I was looking at the financial aid portion of their website. Does this school only accept private loans? I know the tuition is free, but the cost of attendance is still 35k - 40k per year. I still haven't gotten an II yet, but if no one knows, I may send an email to their financial aid office if they do invite me.

This school provides free tuition because students can't take out federal loans. It won’t be eligible for federal loans until it gains full accreditation, which happens after the first class graduates. This is different than a new medical school like Belmont, which is connected to an established undergrad school that already allows students to get federal loans (however, because Belmont students are eligible for federal loans, the school isn’t offering free tuition, so it's a double edged sword). Since AWSOM is independent, students can't get federal loans for the first four years.

Oh okay, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply 🙂

Of course! It's definitely a bummer that they're not eligible 🙁 I'm not sure whether or not they're providing any additional scholarships for living expenses, but it's possible!

 

[USSFSpecialist]

Just called, next admissions committee meeting is next week.

[M7xh7ll]

Have any OOS applicants with secondaries submitted around mid December heard back II wise?

I submitted mid december, got an II beginning of January, and interviewed 2/7, then got WL on 2/20

 

[M7xh7ll]

Gotcha, do you think I'm more likely than not getting ghosted?

Not sure. If you haven’t got a R yet you’re still in the running cause there have definitely been people that submitted after you that got Rs. May be worth sending a letter of interest?

 

[Mybosswontapproveofthis]

Is it even worth submitting a secondary this late?

 

[wysdoc]

Is it even worth submitting a secondary this late?

They seem to be screening for secondaries, so if you received one from this school, you have passed their initial review.
Remember they just opened up applications in October 2024, so they are not working on the typical AMCAS timeline for this first application year.

 

[cherrylizard]

Is it even worth submitting a secondary this late?

Today is the last day, but I say you might as well try if you have the money. You never know if you don't try!

 

[Mybosswontapproveofthis]

Yeah I submitted my primary in December and then got a handful of II right after and went against submitting since I was over confident. I knew todays the last day and it’s why I’m asking if it’s worth spending the money on Hail Mary II

 

[futureobgyny]

has anyone been invited for a march II yet or do we think they are waiting to extend invites next week after adcom meets?

 

[M7xh7ll]

Gotcha, thank you. Do you have any tips for formatting a letter of interest?

reddit will have guidelines. doesn’t have to be anything crazy just relate your application to the schools mission a bit and let them know that they are still on your priority list.

 

[butternoodle]

Hi all! Anyone who interviewed have any insight on how the day / 2 interviews went for them? Mine is coming up this Friday and I'm starting to get antsy. Thanks!

I interviewed on 2/14. The info session is quite long. The interviews were traditional but half of it was reserved for questions, so I would suggest that you make a lengthy list of them to ask.

 

[mostlylurking]

They're working overtime 😂 OOS II received about an hour ago. Super excited about this school 😊
