My friend was accepted last year and she was told that there were around 4000 applicants last year and this year it went to over 6000
Okay so either MSAR is misreporting their verified application or they're lying about how many applicants they have.My friend was accepted last year and she was told that there were around 4000 applicants last year and this year it went to over 6000
Farfetched question, but does she know roughly how many interviewsMy friend was accepted last year and she was told that there were around 4000 applicants last year and this year it went to over 6000
+1 pre-secondary R. I’m sorry 🙁 Please don’t let this ruin your birthday! You deserve to be happy todayReceived a pre-secondary rejection today via email after being ghosted for months. My stats were 504 MCAT (128/120/127/129) and 3.94 GPA. Whole application was tailored to underserved service, but I’m ORM and OOS so that played probably played a factor.
The rejection was a fitting birthday present today though 🙁
They are expanding their class size significantly higher than previous years and they have a new HEPB underway to meet the needs. It's not like they are popping out of thin air to manipulate the number of interviewees and acceptees just because more candidates applied this year.Did they say specifically the medical school or the entire programs at the school? I just find it fishy how they go from less than 1,000 to 6,000 in a single year.
The things to worry about in new schools are almost non-existent for CDU because they have gone through the rigamarole with their twin program and they still preserve their historic network with that program for research, clerkships, or residency affiliation.maybe it’s because now they’re coming up on their third class so more students are willing to apply? I know there’s a lot of hesistancy to apply for new schools
I do think MSAR is not up to date because like the previous comments on here mentioned they received over 4000 apps last year (admissions mentioned a few times during their Q&A & the link below). I’ve always thought the MSAR numbers might be reflective of the secondary apps that was sent out since they are selective with who they send their secondaries to? But I could be wrong. Though prior to them parting from ucla/drew program, they weren’t really up to date on MSAR lolOkay so either MSAR is misreporting their verified application or they're lying about how many applicants they have.
It’s on their website: Admission FAQs | Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Scienceare update letters accepted?
yesare update letters accepted?
it’ll be february before you know itI hope everybody is enjoying the wait as much as I am 😥
I hear ya. The wait is tough..but these message boards help somewhat.I hope everybody is enjoying the wait as much as I am 😥
You can't trust cycle track. Very few people report their IIs on there. You have to trust their website that their last interview is in December. That said, you should have time between your II and interview, so if you haven't gotten an II by the end of next week, safe to say you're cooked, especially since the last week of December is a holiday.Do you all think that interviews are over for CDU? Last year's cycletrack showed the last interviews were end of November, but I saw in this thread they're planning to expand class size this year, so I'm not sure whether to hold on to hope for interview invites.
Anyone have a good resource to guide how to write a letter of intent? Only II I’ve received is from CDU and want to send a letter before decisions. Just having a tough time how to properly convey my “YES” if extended the A.
Thanks!
Hi! Where would we send a letter of intent for cdu?
On their website, it says that offers of admission will begin after Feb 15Did they say the 15th is when we are to hear back from? I thought they said just Feb??
When I interviewed they said March but who knowsOn their website, it says that offers of admission will begin after Feb 15
I heard some conflicting information too but hopefully we hear something sooner rather than laterWhen I interviewed they said March but who knows
I haven’t received such an email. But I did send them an update letter that happen to also include info on a prerequisites (English).Did anyone who interviewed get an email asking about pre requisites
