After reading their information about interviews, it looks like they have a quick Acceptance/Waitlist/Rejection window after each interview. Only around a week, which is pretty quick at least.

Would love to speak with any current or recently graduated students from here!

 

[gasces]

Would love to speak with any current or recently graduated students from here!

Can’t speak to the med school but if you have any questions about Columbia I lived there for undergrad!

 

[Mangosmoothie123]

Would love to speak with any current or recently graduated students from here!

Hey, I'm a current M1 and would like to answer any questions I can! I'll answer 2 questions now that I assume many people will ask:

"Do you need SC ties?"

At our orientation, they stated every single one of us had a South Carolina tie. The weakest one I've heard so far is someone's grandparents living at the beach.

"Is there hope if you get wait-listed"

Yes. It feels like at least half the current class got off the wait-list. It looks like almost all of the wait-list movement was May 1st. I was "In-state middle tier on the wait-list" and I got the call the morning of May 1st.

 

[Jkp1675]

Would love to speak with any current or recently graduated students from here!

I'm an M1 here as well. If anyone has any questions then feel free to mssg. I'll try to respond to as many as I can!

 

[emergcmed]

Does anyone know the OOS post II acceptance rate?

 

[futuresportsmed]

Does anyone know the OOS post II acceptance rate?

I think it’s like 25% they interview like 100 ish for 25 spots.
