Also, if anyone has received their acceptance emails, please let us know! I don't think they've been sent out yet, maybe after the holidays, but still, it would be appreciated!
 
Received official acceptance email 2:29 AM today.

How/when would we know if we got any financial aid? I was assuming we'd get more financial info haha but they just give us a link to scholarships?

Got rejection letter from PRIME today after my 2nd interview. I was wondering if anyone else got this because we were told results come back on January 13, 2026.
 
I submitted my secondary late August and haven't received an interview invite. Is my chance of receiving one pretty much low at this point if I'm not a high stats applicant?

congratulations for those of you who got accepted! for those who didn't, keep your chin up. myself and many of my classmates didn't get in during our first app cycle. if any of y'all have questions, feel free to dm me. im a current ms2. finals are around the corner though, so i may not get back to you immediately.
 
sorry i'm trying to find reasons to cope, but is there any benefit to being on the WL early on as opposed to later on in this year's cycle? i am unfamiliar with how the rolling admissions process works for the waitlist. i've read a lot of the WL movement happens in late april or may, so that leads me to believe that i should treat this as an R and prepare for next cycle in case this isn't my year. thank you in advance
 
This might sound like a stupid question but are UCR undergrads automatically considered Haider or do they have to apply for it separately from regular admissions on AMCAS?

Did they finish interviewing Haider applicants already? I’m referring to the 12/16 batch of decisions. Thank you 🙂
 
Do they interview Haider first and then more of the regular MD? Like do you think we can expect regular MD interviews to still come out in January/February-ish?

i can't imagine it matters much either way. if anything, i would think applicants who get wailisted later in the cycle might be at an advantage because i presume many strong applicants get waitlisted instead of A's due to space shortage, so if slots open up, they may be preferred. I think strong LOIs / LOCIs would matter more than timing of WL anyways.
