Is anyone waiting to apply until they fix the last question? the text box only allows for 250 characters; I called admissions last week when I received the secondary and they said they were going to resolve it but still haven't.

I received an invitation to take the next step. When I logged into the portal, I was prompted to assign courses to fulfill their prerequisites.
 
Are they going to fix the 250 word question? It is still just 250 characters. Should I just submit it with such a short answer or keep waiting?

When I called the admissions office they told me to email my response to the dean of admissions lol. I would call them and tell them you want to submit and when they tell you to email it to her just do that.
 
Dang, has anyone heard from Marshall? I applied through the MD/PhD program and haven't heard anything from them. I submitted my secondary on July 14th.

I applied regular MD and submitted my secondary on 8/22 and haven’t heard anything. I did see on Admit.org that there has been a rejection though. Not sure if that person just didn’t meet their screening criteria or what.
 
Have any IS applicants heard back from Marshall? Applied regular M.D.

are they operating kind of slow right now? cycle tracker only showing 3 interviews in the last week, obv thats not totally accurate but still...
 
Did anyone who interviewed last month get the A yesterday? I was told we would be notified of a decision 11-13 during my interview.
 
has anyone sent an update letter? MSAR says they accept them, but i can't find anywhere that says where to send it.

I did, I think I just sent it to their admissions email. I never got a reply lol. I’ve kinda given up on them.

What a not cool way to send a waitlist.

“Congratulations! We are delighted to inform you that you have been accepted to the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine for the upcoming academic year. Your hard work, dedication, and achievements have truly impressed our admissions committee.

However, due to the current class being full, we are placing you on our waiting list.”

Wait wtf that’s not how they sent my waitlist email; it’s almost like they decided to waitlist you mid email

WHAT IS THISSSS 😭 I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry for you
 
So for all the recent interviewers, from what I understand they are putting everyone they interview now on the waitlist because they filled up their class... is this true? or have anyone they interviewed recently get the A?
 
Moderator Note:

Hi all, the moderator team was made aware of a public exchange on this thread that should have been private. Their posts have been deleted to keep any discussions on topic.

Moving forward, it is important for all of us to be mindful of each school's policies to prevent unintended consequences to your hard-earned acceptance and/or medical school attendance. In general, it is also best practice to remain anonymous online by minimizing disclosure of potentially identifying information (e.g., when you interviewed, who you interviewed with, using your real name as your username, or having an actual picture of you as your avatar, etc.)..

For full disclosure, I am not a dog, even though I may sound like one. *woof*


And for everyone else, here's a random picture for your time:
