I sent mine to them through national student clearinghouse. I did it a couple months ago now, so I might be hazy on the details. But essentially I designated the transcript to UAB graduate admissions, and it offered a field to provide an email that you wanted the transcripts to be sent to. I sent them to the SOM admissions email address. Only took a day or so to receive confirmation of receipt, and my portal updated pretty quickly afterwards.

I saw that there is a committee meeting today. Do they usually call those that are accepted on Thursdays or Fridays.

First tier WL. I accepted just because they didn’t want any extra essays or anything. I do have other acceptances and UAB isn’t very high on my list.
Can you drop it then lollll. UAB is my top choice and I am waitlisted 🙁 .

Hi everyone, (quick change of topic, would love to get your thoughts)
As a local Birmingham orthopedic surgeon who went through medical school debt myself (and still feels the scars), I know how frustrating the lending process can be — especially now with the 2026 federal loan changes creating bigger private loan gaps.
I'm putting together ideas for a new lending fund run by physicians, for physicians-in-training. The goal? Better interest rates, fewer cosigner headaches, smarter approval based on where you're actually headed (not just your current bank account), and terms that actually understand residency life.
Before I go too far down this road, I want real input from current and incoming Heersink students. This 5–7 minute anonymous survey asks about your financing experiences, pain points, and what would actually help.
Completely confidential, no strings attached — just one attending trying to make things better. And a $100 Amazon card to be raffled.

Appreciate you taking the time. Feel free to DM me with thoughts, questions, or even "this is a terrible idea because..." feedback. I'm all ears.
Best, Dr. Goodfella21, Birmingham
