Members do not see this ad.

they are done interviewing. Sorry

Thanks so much! The clarity I needed! They are dead wrong for dragging me on for weeks when I asked lol

 

[FOMed]

Pre-II R. Definitely the most awkwardly phrased rejection I’ve gotten this cycle.

Pre II R 😤

 

[brainrottt]

lol it was pretty bad wasn’t it

 

[needsomehappinessinlife]

pre-ii R - while this was totally expected, the email for this was the crappiest phrased rejection email I have ever read lmao

It was so passive aggressive

“The Committee on Admissions regrets to inform you that we will not be able to act favorably on your application for admission to our next entering class.

This letter most emphatically does not mean that the Committee regards you as unsuited to the practice of medicine or even that it feels you could not meet the demands of our curriculum. It is the result primarily of having thousands of well-qualified applicants and having limited places in our next entering class.

We wish you well in your future medical career.”

+1 pre-II R, these people need to work on the phrasing of their rejection letters. It's not hard to avoid paragraph long run-on sentences lol

Hi happy apple, I got an MSTP WL today, and I have a couple questions. I’ve seen on reddit that columbia sends ~40 offers out to the 90 ish interviewees. Did all of those offers go out today, or does that number include people who end up getting in off the waitlist? Also, if you know, how much MSTP waitlist movement is there usually?

I have been told that (usually) around 40 offers are sent out initially with a target class size of 14-15.

However, I have heard that this year (unconfirmed officially), around 30 offers were sent out to reduce the chance that the class size gets too big (since NYU isn't taking anyone this year) with the intention of sending "more" offers to the waitlist to fill the class than usual, if needed.

I've got no idea what the waitlist movement will look like this year (with NYU/NIH funding shenanigans factoring in). Last year, there were no admits off the WL.

Did anyone who applied PhD to MD get an II? I got a pre-II R but am brutally curious 😭

I finished my app on 7/21 and got an II back in October. Fwiw the admin/interviewers seemed to imply that they gave very few IIs for PhD to MD

thank you so much!! good luck 🤞

 

[olliebollie]

thank you so much!! good luck 🤞

no problem! and thank you - i hope the cycle turns out well for you otherwise!

 

[TheDeadrok]

It sure would be nice if Columbia was feeling generous and released their MD admissions decisions this week 🥰

 

[CharismaticTypist]

I wish too but according to MSAR, the earliest decision date is Mar 3.

 

[TheDeadrok]

I wish too but according to MSAR, the earliest decision date is Mar 3.

MSAR is historically off on this stuff, Yale says Mar 3 as well but released their decisions last week

 

[cassidy_grace2325]

^this is exactly why I think we're going to get decisions this week. Yale released a week earlier than MSAR AND previous years' trends'. Columbia could be any day now (which is scaryyyyy)

 

[CharismaticTypist]

Oh that’s so scary I didn’t know that schools sent them before the earliest date 😅 probably Friday then? Last two years have been Feb 28–Mar 1.

 

[TheGOOD_MD_slimreaper]

I think all the Ivys will come out by the end of this week

 

[cassidy_grace2325]

I think all the Ivys will come out by the end of this week

I'm going to hold you to this <3

 

[TheGOOD_MD_slimreaper]

LOOLL...I have insider information.

 

[dayoneofmedicine]

I think all the Ivys will come out by the end of this week

Does this apply to Penn? Feel like that's unlikely given historical trends

 

[wantedmd10]

LOOLL...I have insider information.

Do you actually lmao?

 

[savemepls]

They did say early March during the interview though....
