To those who are matriculating, any luck with the background check part of myRecordTracker? I sent an email to admissions a few weeks ago and they said I would be getting a background check email this month. Wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as the due date approaches.
 
Incoming 1st year here. I noticed the COMLEX 1 rates are consistently 2-5% below the national average. Any idea why that might be?
I'm a second year- aside from what's already been said, I think the main reason this is the case is that the school lets you sit for Level 1 after scoring a lower percentage on the Mock exam administered a couple weeks before you would take your Level 1 than other schools. This means that more people can take and successfully pass Level 1 on time but slightly more people also fail.

Just got an email about the waitlist rankings!

same here! Question for current students: If you are ranked on the waitlist how much hope should I have that I will get a call? PNWU is my #[emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]] choice (close to home) and I am on APS (approved pending space) list for another school that I would be happy with but again I prefer PNWU. I don’t plan on waiting too long that I miss out on attending med school out of the hope of going to PNWU but also don’t want to make a haste decision.

Based on previous years, if you are ranked it is very likely you will be getting a call. I was a WL candidate, was ranked, and got the call within the first several hours after getting my WL email last year. Many of my classmates were on the WL. They do pull from the WL through the first week of school.

Thank you!! That gives me a lot of hope, would you recommend writing a LOI at this point to try and get that extra push?

I'm not entirely sure how much the admission committee weighs LOIs, but I did send one last year. Whether that played a role in my acceptance or not, I'm not sure, but it certainly didn't hurt. Good luck!! Feel free to dm with any other questions
 
Just got the A!! Interviewed in October, got put on WL, and was emailed last week about being ranked on the WL

Well turns out PNWU sent me an A for their Masters of Science program, which I hadn’t applied for, and something felt weird about the letter and the wording. I then confirmed it from an email that got auto sorted to my promotional emails that confirmed that it was not for their DO program. Just want everyone else on the WL to know as well just in case you get a similar one.

Rip, same thing happened to me. Thank you for the heads up, I just checked my spam inbox and got the same email.
 
Has anyone heard of waitlist movement? It's been awfully quiet.
I haven’t heard about anything yet, was considering sending an email to admissions to ask. Looks like movement started around the 11th last year, at least from what was posted in the 2023-2024 thread.
