See y'all on March 7th 😛

edit: heads-up it's for accepted students only and will be capped at 150 respondents. So I would reserve sooner rather than later. Deadline is Feb 20th and if they fill up by the time you respond you have to waitlist via email.

taking this as confirmation that the last round of acceptances will be 2/13
 
Do they accept letters of interest or just letters of intent?? Admissions didn’t answer my email 💔

Just received a “Savannah Campus Open House” email. I’m still waiting on a decision, did anyone else receive this despite waiting on a decision still?
 
For those who signed up for Visit Day/second look, did y'all get confirmation emails after filling out the registration form? I signed up but didn't receive anything confirming I'm set. Trying to see if anyone else has had a similar experience.
 
has anyone gotten an acceptance in an acceptance wave more than 8 weeks after their interview? I've convinced myself that if you don't hear in that one wave then you are waitlisted -- can anyone confirm or deny

i know people in past cycles who interviewed in sept/oct and then didn't get in until jan/feb
 
how do we know they’re not sending acceptances later in the day? i know historically they have from previous months

crying at the secondary being due a week after the primary is due lol
The secondary prompts are on their website, so you can prewrite

Edit:

The essay questions we will require on the secondary application for the 2026 matriculants’ cycle include:

  • Career Celebration (250 words):
    • Imagine you’ve reached the end of a fulfilling and impactful career. A trusted colleague or mentee is delivering a speech in your honor at a celebration of your professional life. What would you want them to say about the kind of work you did, the values you embodied, the relationships you built, and the legacy you left behind? Take this opportunity to reflect on the career you aspire to build and how you want it to be remembered.
  • Academic Journey (250 words):
    • Tell us about the decisions and experiences that have defined your academic journey. This space is for you to provide context for any element of your academic history that you believe would help us better understand your path, persistence, and personal growth. For example, you may want to discuss the reasoning behind a significant change in major or a shift in academic interest, provide context for any course withdrawals or changes in your academic performance, or explain a unique academic timeline like attending multiple institutions or taking a gap year. You can also use this opportunity to describe your approach to improving a standardized test score after an initial attempt.
  • Application Updates (250 words):
    • Since submitting your AMCAS application, have there been any updates to your activities, achievements, or honors that you would like to share? This may include new roles, activities, research, publications, awards, or other meaningful experiences not previously included. Feel free to elaborate on any accomplishments that reflect your continued growth and commitment to a career in medicine.
  • Reflection (500 words):
    • What are the core values that guide you? Describe a time when those values were challenged, either by circumstances or by encountering someone whose perspectives differed from your own. How did you respond, and what did you learn about yourself in the process? In what ways does this experience reflect how you will contribute to the UGA School of Medicine and the profession of medicine?
