During the info session they stated the review committee meets every week on Thurs, then send out decisions by Friday, wishing us all the best of luck 🤞

[FlaptavianBird]

getting a sour taste in my mouth from how slow and non-communicative this school is

Theyre currently about to take midterms so their students are likely bombarding them with emails as well. With it being such a small school there will likely be a bit of delays.

[chickennuggets43]

I’m really hoping for some 😭 especially for mid october

 

[maha2398]

[kikikat]

Also IS A through email! Interviewed 10/12, virtual engagement in December

 

[psy23]

IS A +1 interviewed 10/16 virtual engagement Jan

 

[chickennuggets43]

oh now I’m a lil nervous 😥 early Oct interview

 

[theperceptionofevil]

Would it be useless to call the office and ask abt what their decision is? 😭😭😭 coming from a defeated 9/30 interviewer who hasn’t heard back

All they’re going to say is “we admit applicants on a continuous basis, and if you haven’t received a decision yet, please know that your application is still under consideration”

If anything it might hurt you more than it helps you to call them and demand a decision. I know this process sucks. Trust me. I just try to be patient and keep yourself busy.

 

[Ryexphos]

IS A yesterday! Interview 10/4

 

[Ryexphos]

beyond happy, i though it was gg

 

[ladyleonardoleia]

IS Waitlist just now! Interviewed 10/5.

 

[Dom Dolla]

does anyone know if CUSM is still sending out IIs? cycletrack is telling me no 😢

 

[kikikat]

For the folks who got accepted, does anyone know if the Docusign is binding?

 

[King.Coman]

Anyone on waitlist had any movement yet?

 

[maha2398]

For the folks who got accepted, does anyone know if the Docusign is binding?

I believe the DocuSign says you can cancel your registration/spot by emailing them but you’d lose the 100 deposit

 

[lGhostl]

IS virtual engagement invite for 3/28, II on 12/22 hopefully a decent sign

 

[theperceptionofevil]

Yall I took one for the team. I called just now and the lady working there (she was honestly SO sweet omg) told me that they hope to finalize by April 1. So if you don’t get a decision by then it’s most likely an R. She also revealed that this cycle had ~600 interviewees. Anyone who hasn’t received a decision yet is considered a “hold” by their process. Also, she didn’t ask me for my AAMC ID or anything so I doubt this would “hurt my application” in case anyone asks. Lastly, I asked if there was a linear progression of decisions and she said it’s hard to tell bc that information is confidential so September/early October interviewees don’t lose hope yet ig???

I also asked them about joining virtual engagement and they said they’re fully booked until April.

this school has had a history of late movement even into June and she doesn't work for the admissions committee making the decisions, so I would not put as much thought into this.

 

[FlaptavianBird]

In-state applicant, A. I interviewed sometime in October.

 

[throway492859]

IS W, interviewed in the middle of October!

I'm a ghosted queen too... let's mourn together.

Probably last time I'll check this forum since I'm so defeated LOL. Congrats to all who have been accepted and good luck to those who haven't received decisions yet!! Hoping for good news for everyone.

Wait same let’s be friends 😭😭😭 I need to remove this forum for the sake of my sanity I’ve been in the bargaining phase of my grief for tooooo long

 

[medschoolpleasee]

I just got an interview invite on the 13 (OOS heavy ties to IE), so don't lose hope! It isn't over until its over 🙂

 

[bubsbumpkins]

when do people get off the waitlist? is it rolling? I interviewed and got waitlisted in november so I’m wondering if I would be in an earlier batch for decisions but I’m not sure if it’s random

 

[capybaracarbonara]

Why does their acceptance letter / docs sound binding? I called the office to confirm that we can choose another school even if we accept the documents, but the way their email is worded is concerning

Yeah, I also contacted them about this. They said this form is just to hold your spot.
