Looks like they reworded the AC email to say the next time we will hear from them is AFTER the week of 3/12/26. It used to say the next time we will hear from them IS the week of blah blah blah.
I heard mid-March is when the waitlist opens/when the AC list really begins to move, so perhaps that’s the distinction? Maybe “after 3/12” is just when that phase begins.

Is this a good time to send Letter of Intent?
Admissions office statement on letters of intent:

“We only accept these letters toward the end of the application season if students are on the waitlist and want to indicate continued interest in College of Medicine – Phoenix. We hope this information is helpful. Feel free to reach out if we can offer further assistance.”

Thank you. So we have to wait until April, hear the official waitlist and then send it?

What are y’all referring to when you say Group A/B? Is it something for those who had in-person interviews?
We basically got split into two group for interview: A goes first, then B. It looks like only group A got their result back since I got nothing and in group B. If anyone else in group B on 1/26 got something let me know!

has anyone received aid yet?
I haven't, but I don't think they send that out till we "commit". They seem to follow the same April 30th timeline. I reached out to the financial aid office, but they told me they won't send out my package until "late spring early summer". So, I'm guessing sometime in May.

If you haven't already, fill out FAFSA. When you do, it will say you only qualify for $20,500/year (iirc). However, the financial aid guy I emailed said when they package your financial aid package they are the ones that have to tell the feds that we are professional students and, therefore, qualify for $50,000/year.

Also, one of the students on my interview day said that they were from Colorado and that UACOMP allows them to qualify for in-state tuition in M2. They said that the Colorado MD school didn't (and I believe several others don't either). So, if you're an OOS student keep that in mind.

Edit: The Phoenix metro is ranked one of the worst largest cities for walkability and public transport. You will most likely need a car. Make sure to factor that in when you sit down to go over how much med school will end up costing you.

how many more offers of admissions are expected? is that something that is predictable based off of last years data?
