2024-2025 South Florida (Morsani)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I've kinda given up hope at this point. The people getting off the waitlist post May 1st on Admit.org have had crazy high stats still. I think at this point they are just going down the list by MCAT score to accept people (even though its "not ranked"). Feeling a little discouraged so sorry for the rant
 
I am not sure what is wrong with Florida state schools who don't want to take their own students. Waitlisted at this school but accepted to another OOS state school but have to pay OOS tuition. It is not fair.

In the exact same boat with another fl school and it sucks so much. I’ll be coming out of school with ~400k loans now (really high tuition and high COL area) and am also devastated about not being able to remain in the state since I ultimately want to train and practice here. imo FL is not a great state to be an applicant in because even though we have 8 md schools, almost all have high mcat average or take a good amount OOS. trying to keep my head up and at least get excited about the opportunity to explore a new area for med school that I otherwise never would have!
 
Just got accepted off the waitlist with a call from the Dean of Admissions around 2:30 pst. OOS applicant, this is my first acceptance and I really can't believe it! Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back
wow huge congrats!! could you tell us a little bit about yourself - LM score, when you interviewed, etc.

Thank you! I interviewed in October and was waitlisted in December, so it’s been a loooong process with no other acceptances. I submitted a letter of intent in March and the Dean did say he read it. My LM is 75.9 and I have a lot of clinical hours but no research if that’s helpful!

Contrary to what you hear that medical students don’t like the conservative politics of Florida, the population growth of FL, lifestyle and high healthcare demand makes it very attractive. That’s why the FL schools get so many OOS applicants and median stats are high.
 
Can someone accepted share the status of that discord? Hope there's gonna be more WL movement.
 
CTE deadline is monday 6/9, so hopefully there is some WL movement then. I did ask admissions how long waitlist movement will last and they said up until the first day of classes (basically until they are confident that every seat has a butt in it on the first day of school).

Hopefully there’s some movement soon but I emailed them in February and they said the commit to enroll deadline is 6/16
 
Interesting, I emailed 3 weeks ago and they said the 9th, I also confirmed with them today
That’s so weird! I just double checked the email and they said 6/16 on 2/4. I wonder what changed but I’m glad that we can potentially hear back sooner hahaha 🙂 Thanks sm for letting us know, it’s so frustrating being kept in the dark!
 
out of curiosity what did the email response after notifying them of withdrawal sound like? mine sounds strangely personal

mine was brief, nonspecific, and respectful. just out of curiosity, how did your email response sound personal?
