Ngl good chance it will be the monday of 24th, from looking at previous years, but hopefully I am wrong
I'd tend to agree here. We go on break Friday afternoon, and given that it's Match week for the 4th years...as hard as it is, give them a bit of extra room on this one.

so for those of us who interviewed on 03/06, we should expect to hear back in about 1 week?
 
FL IS WL? the email said I was accepted but also said no seats were available and that I could be admitted to the NM campus or wait to see if a seat opens in FL. it was a very oddly worded email

If FL is an absolute must then I'd wait for an opening. If moving to NM is doable for you then I'd take the seat!
 
They interview until April. So I assume there will be more. But when I got the invite in Feb. I originally had to schedule an April date but they provide an earlier date waitlist.
Someone had said they saw dates that went towards the end of May when they got their invite a couple weeks ago. Could definitely be more.
 
Does anyone know when the first day of orientation will be for AY 2025-26?
 
I’ve been complete since December and haven’t heard anything back yet 🙁 Should I send a letter of interest?
 
Does anyone know if this school accepts academic updates before or after the interview?

I have an interview scheduled for April 15. Does anyone know if there are any seats left in Melbourne? I am a Florida resident.

Someone who was accepted last week said there wasn't but people end up dropping so there is still a chance and time left.

I got the same email! so is it technically waitlist?
 
Did your email title say “You Are On The Waitlist” ?
No it said "Acceptance Pending Seat Availability in FL" I have the choice to defer to next year for a seat at the FL campus but I checked the portal and I have a waitlist opt out option. Thats why I wasn't sure if it was the same as waitlist.

yeah i got the same! it was super weird, it didn't say waitlist, actually said congrats on acceptance... but then said no open seats in FL so if I wanted to switch to NM I could. Also, yeah we can defer acceptance to class of 2030, so it doesn't seem like a waitlist at all? not sure bc my other waitlist emails are very clearly waitlist and do not offer acceptance the next cycle lol
 
Tbh I wouldn't mind a deferred acceptance to the FL campus, it's better than having to re-apply, retake the MCAT, do a master, etc. and get into the school/state you want, and have some chill time before starting med school (I'm finishing my senior year in undergrad rn)

Yeah go traveling or something!
 
So those of us on the regular waitlist probably barely have a chance at the Florida campus 🙁
I’m on the waitlist too (since 2/11). I’ve been sending update letters, attending webinars, and sent a LOI awhile ago. Not sure what else to do at this point 🙁
 
For those who interviewed 3/13 should we expect a response this week or next?
they have been pretty consistent with 2 weeks timeframe, with the exception of last week because it coincided with match day and thus took that group of interviewees 2.5 weeks. i'd say expect it tomorrow but if not, then 1-2 days after.

im not mad about it honestly, i guess its an acceptance technically lol but i'm hoping theres movement towards the end of the cycle! its currently my top choice and I really love the FL campus since its near family
 
There are a lot of moving parts right toward the end of the cycle. I remember speaking to one soon-to-be OMS3 who told me that their acceptance came only a week or two before the start of the year. Even last year, our class was "full" around this time, too, but the cycle is never over until the very end.
