Is this school still releasing II? I haven't heard anything since submission:/

Last year they reviewed through March

 

[123e]

anyone know when we could start hearing about financial aid?

 

[rammy225]

Congrats to everyone accepted so far, I have a room in east falls area that I am looking for someone to take over. Apartment is 2bd 2bath and you get your own master bedroom. Would be roomed with an M3. Good option if you are looking to have a car.

Haven't heard anything from them; does anybody know if they still have interview spots open/if they're considering applicants?

It’s hard to remember but either in the TU portal or via email the week of the interview.

 

[lysozome12]

[flowerplant2000]

Curious about this also, the MSAR waitlist document did not really give any helpful information.

What I have heard is that about 1/3 of the class can come from the waitlist.

How many people do you think are waitlisted?

 

[DrDrDrDr2022]

How many people do you think are waitlisted?

I'm not sure, but based on these threads that seems to be the most likely outcome of an interview.

Did anyone else apply to Lewis Katz School of Medicine Postbaccalaureate?

 

[scientisticy5325]

Is there an average turn around time for post II decision here or is it random?

Sounds like they will release decisions sometime in Feb. Based on last year's thread it was the first week.

Keep the mission of LKSOM firmly in your mind, know they picked you for an interview because they saw something in your application that aligned with it. Relax, be yourself and let the person who you put into that application shine though.

Awww, I really appreciate that. Okay, lets hope! Thank you.

 

[GraveOfTheFireflies]

you get a couple days notice

 

[Childof_d_WayMaker]

Hey for those accepted to the North Philly campus, have you received any info for Accepted students Day or anything after you accepted your spot? And did you guys get anything in the mail?

 

[Landrade01]

Accepted student here -- I just went to Philly to check-out the school since I won't be available for 2nd look (sometime in April). They were absolutely amazing, got to attend 2 lectures with a few students, got a tour and met with Fin Aid counselor.

Fin Aid info and packages will be sent out at the end of Feb/beginning of March

How did you go about setting this up?

 

[DrDrDrDr2022]

Does anyone think we will hear back this week?

 

[scientisticy5325]

I interviewed in January and they said theyll release decisions in march

 

[DrDrDrDr2022]

I interviewed in January and they said theyll release decisions in march

I also interviewed in January and they just referred us to this statement from their website: "After interview, applicants are notified of the Admissions Committee decision in either November, December, February or at the end of the interview season. Some candidates may be placed on the continuing candidate list after interview and will be considered after April 30th through matriculation."

That would be a huge bummer if we didn't hear back until March. It seems like people from last year that interviewed in January heard back in February.

hmmm maybe they got backed up for my cohort? They said they received a lot of applications this year so I am assuming that is why. But if they did not mention march in your interview like they did mine, it is totally possible that they'll release your decisions this month (I truly do not know, take it with a grain of salt haha)

anyways, best of luck to us both!
