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.

Does anyone know if waitlisted applicants are supposed to submit financial aid documents now, or only if we get accepted?

You can submit your FAFSA if you want but they require a CSS Profile for financial aid consideration which costs $$ to submit. You could submit if you want but may feel a little silly if you send it in and get rejected (at least this is my thinking since I’m also on the WL)
 
Do they send any more information about the tours closer to the date?
