Just got the decision letter a few minutes ago - ALTERNATE/wait list. Pretty happy about this. Means more anxiety for me to come these next few weeks/months lol!!

Feel free to do as you please. But they are just going to tell you that results are actively being reported and that they should all be out by the end of the week. You haven’t slipped through the cracks. Try to be patient a little longer. I would refrain from calling if I were you.

Waitlist is still rly good!! UAMS accepts the majority of the waitlist (i remember seeing this in their acceptance/interview criteria). Hang in there : )

 

[catlvr0]

Just got IS waitlist. Is there any way to find out where we are on the waitlist?

 

[902arkansasmed]

If they’re sending out waitlist decisions, are they done with IS A’s??

I'm not too sure what's w/ this cycle but if it helps I found that on previous SDNs people were still getting IS A's even after the first day. Check out Arkansas 2023-2024

 

[adelia]

Did they skip over OOS As? Last year they did OOS As before they did waitlists.

 

[spades55]

I fear it’s over for me getting in this year. They seem to have gotten out all the acceptances in an afternoon yesterday. I can’t imagine they’re still sending out waitlists when it’s only like 60 people…

 

[gram negative goblin]

OOS WL email just now

 

[rosieroses1423]

using SDN as a coping mechanism but for those who haven't heard anything like me and are anxious -- I caved and called UAMS and they stated that essentially there's still decisions to be sent out which ofc include As and WLs til this Friday so let's just hope that the anxiety doesn't crush us til then :')

Okay well that’s relieving…I think. Thanks for checking

I feel some relief although still very anxious. Surely it's not impossible to hear more As from today. Best of luck and keep your head up : )

 

[BigCoyote]

yall think they’re going in order of interview date?

 

[spades55]

yall think they’re going in order of interview date?

that’s why I asked if anyone heard from 1/25 and someone that interviewed then posted they got accepted yesterday

I interviewed 11/2 if it helps but yeah I was going to say someone interviewed in Jan and got accepted

Do you have any information of how many students are accepted off the Alternate List? Thanks for the information above. I have looked at their website and could not find any information regarding this. So appreciate any help here

Thank you. Crossing fingers here. OOS, Alternate List

 

[RagingBolt34]

Has any OOS received A’s yet?

 

[whistlingparsnips30]

Not in the February announcements. But 3 prior.

A bit odd that they started doing IS and OOS WL before A’s this year. This whole thing is just making me so nervous.

they don’t do many OOS acceptances so it’s likely that they have but that those accepted aren’t posting here

 

[adelia]

I don't know how accurate this is, but this says that they accept about 20% of OOS students post interview invite (or at least that they did in 2021), so I would think that would be a considerable number of OOS As.

That’s about 15 to 20 OOS A’s each year. I guess it really is possible that As have sent a nobody has posted but that seems kinda low chance. Any OOS that haven’t said yet pls update if you have heard anything or not I’m losing my mind 😵‍💫

 

[msha19]

OOS, still havent heard anything either. hoping tmrw will be good news

There’s usually only 4-5 OOS students in each class. MSAR has only 4 in the most recent class.

Is that after matriculation tho or pre? I would assume its after right? Given that they use 15-20% of alotted space to OOS?

my friend who goes there said they're apparently planning on admitting more OOS students this year

 

[wildflower31]

I would also assume after matriculation. I'm IS and its well known that they accept around 13-20 OOS students ever year..

 

[rosieroses1423]

Right, I was assuming its def after matriculation bc a couple posts up I posted the admissions criteria by UAMS and they themselves outlined 15-20% seats are allotted to OOS students. They also are becoming more friendly to OOS especially those who have strong connections to Arkansas

 

[spades55]

IS R just now

Yes even admit.org shows last year they accepted 25 OOS students. I think a lot of accepted choose to attend other schools tho which is why UAMS places such an emphasis on strong ties and put in the new border state tuition policy. They really want to make sure the OOS they accept actually choose to attend and stay in Ark.

 

[lwade318]

IS R. Guess we'll see how this gap year goes

 

[BigCoyote]

So sorry to see IS R's, y'all. 🙁


Hope fellow OOS are holding up okay--- this is a pretty brutal wait.

 

[chronicallyonline]

OOS R

 

[whistlingparsnips30]

OOS R. As an Arkansas native, this one hurts. Congrats to everyone who was accepted. Good luck to everyone who was not accepted. I hope you have other successes and continue to know your worth. ❤️

 

[bigbacked]

Did anyone get an OOS A?

 

[texashawkeye]

OOS R around 6:30pm. It was an odd decision letter, did others also not have their name addressed on it?? Good luck to others rest of this cycle!

Mine was an IS A, and my letter wasn't addressed either.

 

[RagingBolt34]

OOS R a couple hours ago 💔 good luck to everyone else and congrats on all the A’s y’all.

 

[BigCoyote]

OOS R! no name on the letter, ugh

 

[adelia]

Have you heard anything?

 

[pheeb]

Has anyone received their acceptance packet yet? Mine is at my parents’ house and I’m dying to know what’s inside.

Not yet, but I also live really far out of state.

-An official acceptance letter
-A form to sign stating you 'accept' and which campus you prefer
-Another form to sign stating you can meet the requirements of the program
-A few pages covering AMCAS instructions, parent's club, etc
