they did it midway through the app cycle last year. went from 186 to 120 without telling anyone except people who were accepted. I think it was rumored that only people who interviewed and were waitlisted in spring got in but could be different this cycle
Sort of goes to show that many medical schools care more about their ranking/reputation as a selective school than actually addressing the physician shortage in this country 🤦
That's not so bad. It just decreases my chances of getting in as an IS applicant from 3.4% to 2.3%. No biggie.
I think it's worth pointing out a large portion of the physician shortage comes from a lack of federal funding to create more residency positions. there may be a multitude of reasons that USC pulled back on its class size but the solution doesn't end with increased class sizes if the students have nowhere to train
The 2021 consolidated appropriations act threw more money at creating more residency programs. The shortage is mostly of specialty residencies spots in populated highly desirable areas. Many primary care residencies each year are not completely filled. Due to higher private insurance reimbursement rates, most new residency programs are generally prioritized in specialty fields and in large urban areas. This leaves large areas of the country with limited access to primary healthcare. The problem is simply more complicated than there not being enough residency spots.
When they feel like it
Looks like Keck is on the menu. Cook em up, chef!
Are you referring to last year's CycleTrack data where they sent them in very large isolated waves like NYU? I imagine because of the reduced class size they've changed their approach, but I could be wrong!
No haha I was referring to my delulu wish that they're sending them out at different times today so all hope isn't lost yet 🤣
let's be delulu together <3
Awesome, thanks.
ball up top. Submission date?
Congratulations! LM?
Thanks so much! ~74 non-trad. Hope to see you all on the zoom!
It wouldn't surprise me if they favor their undergrads for med school. I have quite a few friends who went to USC for ug and all of their parents also went for ug. Family friend's dad went for ug and med school, both his sons went for ug and one of them is now at Keck.
no i did not receive anything like that. can you post the text of the email??
It says:
I got this in the previous cycle- I don’t think it really means anything, cause I caught the R a few months later.
Just received this today after getting an II, so I don't think it means anything at all. Just info that none of us care about LOL
Congrats!!
Lol thanks but it doesn't mean anything, does it?
Yeah it doesn’t I was just cheesing lol
Hahah okay I figured but just in case I wanted to make sure I responded nicely 😅
I got a confirmation email the day after I scheduled
AMCAS Liaison has like a week delay. But double check to ensure it is scheduled on the portal.
+1 baby 😍😍😍
+1, truly a pleasure 😍
