2024-2025 Miami (Miller)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Yeah the 6/1 date is on their website but apparently someone got an email from the school with a 5/15 CTE deadline for MD program, so now I'm not sure which date is incorrect.

They just updated their website and emailed us

That is not nice for schools to do so. If class is full and they are done with IIs please send rejections early. We really need AAMC to step in or state regulators to do something about this.

Agreed. Kinda feels like a slap in the face to have spent a lot of time & $$$ to apply and then hear crickets :/ at least let us have closure instead of wondering if we have any chance

unlike last year, WL will probably see good movement beginning May 01. not sure why the waitlist moved so much in early April of 2024.
Oh, did you get this info from somewhere? For some reason, there has already been people pulled off in January which is weird.

OOS pre-II R 🙁
 
Please, for accepted students, how many accepted students are on discord/telegram or facebook?
 
This is from an email accepted students just got.

“As accepted applicants make decisions regarding their plans to attend, waitlisted applicants will be reviewed and notified of final decisions. With this in mind, we strongly encourage timely communication with our office and foresee waitlist movement will begin around the first week of May.

Tl;dr just chill until next month
 
Does May 15 CTE date still apply for WL Applicants too? Like so does rhat mean there’s only gonna be like a week or two of WL movement ?

Also wondering.
Generally speaking, most As off the WL have their own deadline to commit (could be a couple days after your notification, could be a couple weeks) especially since some As will be given after 5/15
 
What did the text say? I’m on the WL for the MD/MBA program… was it only sent to students with an A or to all students who’ve interviewed?

It was probably sent to students on MD only Waitlist. They’re trying to get more students interested in the MD/MBA program.
 
For people doing the MD/MBA program, I am interested but I have 0 business experience. Is it still something I can do? How about the GMAT / GRE? Did accepted students already take it?

you don't need to take the GMAT/GRE, your MCAT counts for that. You just need to write a PS about why you want to study business and get one LOR, then do an interview. Definitely still something you can do - at the end of the day Miami wants people doing dual degrees. More tuition in their pockets and they get to keep their title as the #1 med school for dual degrees.
