I thought an AC email was a good thing until I read "Although this is not the news you likely wanted today" lol
Yeah I’d love to hear if anyone has anecdotal evidence of their time on the AC list. I know it’s probably impossible to find out, but how many people under active consideration end up getting acceptance offers down the road?

n=1 but last cycle I interviewed at the end of August and was put on the AC list. I eventually got accepted at the end of January.

Hi! Would anyone who was accepted know the class schedule? Like what time classes typically start, how long you are on campus, etc? I’m trying to decide how feasible it is to commute or to be closer to school.
current student. it depends (sorry). First semester there are more mandatories esp with anatomy (min ~3 days/week). It lightens up for mandatories but if you want to attend every lecture it would be 5 days/week. In person class starts at 9

Just dropping two cents: UofA-PHX is a great school. Class is pretty social and there are great opportunities to shadow/do research between Banner/PCH/Mayo and even down at UofA Tucson if you don't mind the drive. Definitely has downsides like any program but definitely on upward trajectory
 
I have my interview here on Monday. I'm really excited about it because i really like UA-Phoenix. Any advice or tips for the interview?
Interview is relatively low stress, just be ready to have a conversation. Do not rehearse your answer. As you read the prompt outside the door, think of talking points you want to hit on as you answer the question. Make sure to smile, show excitement, hold eye contact, and be confident!
 
+1 AC (second so far), interviewed 11/17 group B. They said the next day I could hear back is 2/12 which seems much sooner than the last hold email I received.

i interviewed 1/12 and haven't heard anything, i thought we would have gotten either AC, R or A by now but i guess not : ( more waiting!

I interviewed 1/26 and they told us EARLIEST would be end of February early March. So >5 weeks after interview for you is my guess.
 
appreciate that insight, I know that other people from my day have heard back though which makes me nervous but at least I haven't gotten rejected yet!
 
Bring an energy drink for lunch
Since I graduated from college I have almost not had any. Had one the morning of another interview which was a mistake. My caffeine tolerance dropped lol

I am interviewing later this month at the new DO school in Phoenix. I thought I would post this question here as there are more people on this thread. Does anyone have a good hotel recommendation or ones to definitely avoid?

They also said the admissions committee meets every 2 weeks so it could simply be they haven't gotten to your application yet.
 
Does anyone know if UA Phoenix will still be sending out more interview invites? I haven't heard anything from them since I submitted my secondary in October, and I don't know if I should still have hope or just consider their silence as a soft R.

I enjoyed staying at the SpringHill Suites

I interviewed on 1/26 and was told that we were the last in-person interview group and that there was one (or maybe two) online interviews left.

Thank you! Are there two different formats for interviews? Like can you choose either virtual or in-person? Or is it that the interview itself has an in-person component and an online component? Also do you know if they sent out the invites for the remaining interviews yet?

From my understanding, they are two distinct formats. Fully in-person or fully virtual. I don't know if they sent out invites for the remaining interviews.

Not necessarily, for my class people got in from every interview day. AC squad don't give up hope either!

For others, the online March interview is the last one of the season.
How many students usually they accept from the AC group?
