Lol - whoops I was so excited I didn't see you had posted the first AZ acceptance already. Congrats Sundevil! As for whether or not I'll see ya there? I really have no idea at this point. I've been accepted at NYU in addition to UA and I am still waiting on a bunch of other schools. It is gonna be a very tough decision - though I am fortunate to be able to be in this position. As all the AZ appectance people get in we will have to discuss the pros/cons of our beloved UA...

Thanks to Kadyra, Joseph, and ewells for the words of congratulations. Yes, the acceptance came by email this morning, and it indicates that the certified letter has been mailed. I sincerely hope that all of you who didn't get in this round have some good news in mid-Feb.
I have to say, it's funny how getting into a school makes you more fond of it...I mean I guess you just look at it more positively than before...I dunno, I'm rambling...time to celebrate - good thing it's Friday!

I told Joe and ewells that I'd post here this morning after I called the College of Medicine. The lady I spoke with said that they anticipate sending out their next round of acceptances on time--around February 15 and then March 15 for the last round. She told me to call back Friday to get a definite date.

Hey guys - just thought I'd confirm what Kadyra said...I just came from the admissions office - and the ladies in there are so incredibly nice. They kept congratulating me until I was red (and with my brown skin it's hard for that to happen 
). Anyway, they said they sent out a third of their acceptances on Friday and another third goes out mid-Feb with the last third going out mid-March. Also, interestingly, they are gonna post a list in the hallway of the admissions office with the names of all the accepted students. Kinda cool that we can see who our potential classmates are gonna be.
Given my options right now (NYU vs. UA), I am leaning towards UA. Go figure.

The latest rumor (and this is third-hand info) is that the only applicants considered for this round of acceptances were those whose entire file was complete in October, so don't jump off any bridges yet just because you have not been accepted.

One more week I can deal with! That's better news than when I thought it was going to be the 15th...although that isn't exactly ruled out either. Hmmmm...I hate waiting. Maybe this experience is designed to teach me some patience.

LOL. Ok, well in an effort to keep this thread up, I just wanted to share that you can do your entire third and fourth years in Phoenix if you want - there is a "Phoenix campus". I had no idea, so it was kinda cool to hear about it.

Mid-February. Ugh. First my flu won't go away, and now I hear Mid-February. I think that is a sign telling me I should go back to bed and stay there until further notice.

And regarding the Phoenix program; I looked into it and if I'm accepted here (fingers crossed), I think I'd like to do my neuro rotation at Barrow Neurological Institute (however it's exactly called). I think that'd be a great experience.

How is the weather and everything in Phoenix anyways? I'm living in Seattle at the moment, and I miss home. I miss the clubs too.
If I go to U of A I'm definately going to spend my clinicals in the Phoenix area. (Not that I'll be doing much clubbing then ;-)

However, last week, we had snow down here in the valley. It has been a very weird winter.
I will probably do at least one rotation up in Phoenix if I can bribe one of the people I know up there to let me stay with them. That is of course, if I am accepted. U of A's website has a link to a guide some students made to getting through the 3rd year. I read some of it and it tells you where you can get the best experiences for each rotation. Some of the Phoenix hospitals were listed over the Tucson sites. The link is in the student section of the website.

When, oh when! I forgot to call the admissions office today; I'll do it tomorrow. She should have a definite date. I'm betting on next Friday the 15th though. I think I almost freaked when I got that email from the UofA College of Medicine Financial Aid Office last week! <img border="0" alt="[Wowie]" title="" src="graemlins/wowie.gif" />

Ack! I didn't get an email from the financial aid office either. . . .
Man.. it's so tough not to overanalyze everything. I guess thats the problem of a forum full of analytical people. ;-)

OK....I'm the official bearer of bad news. For me anyway. Here it goes. This Monday when I talked to the admissions committee to ask what date the next round was going out,the lady who answered the phone told me that, "we don't know the exact date. Sometime in mid-February. Call at the end of the week and we can give you an exact date." I said thanks, ok.
Now it's Friday. I decided to call again. About 20 minutes ago. She answered (I wasn't sure if it was the same lady) and I asked, "I'm sure you get asked this a lot, but when is the next round of acceptances going out?" She calmly replied, "They went out today." I said, "Oh, thank you."
TODAY!!?? So I checked my email...nothing..nothing...nothing from the U of A. It's become realistic that I might not be able to stay in AZ for medical school. I know it's not over yet, mid March, but it's a bit crushing. I mean, I was accepted to another state school with less than a 4% chance statistically, and my own state school I didn't...with I think a 20% chance. Yeah, I'm complaining like a mofo. That's ok...just let me vent a bit.

Yeah I also called the admissions office today. The e-mails went out this morning and those lucky enough to get one will get a packet in the mail tomorrow. I am not a lucky person, unfortunately for me. So I have to get pepped up so I don't frighten little kids (that infected me with the flu 2 weeks ago) when I volunteer tonight. Maybe I should frighten them.
It's annoying. The whole process. Going through it a second time, I have begun to wonder about my sanity. Would a sane person really subject themselves to this more than once?

Hey guys,
I KNOW you already know this, but don't give up yet. There is still a third of the class to be filled, and ~25 waitlist spots (we know how active the Arizona waitlist is)! So, keep ya heads up - I'm lookin at you Joe and Kadyra! :wink:

Are you trying to make me feel worse Jargon?
just kidding..actually, the luncheon sounds pretty cool, but I'm surprised they don't wait until they have all the acceptances, at least the initial ones go out.
Kadyra, that's great to hear about the money! I knew you'd get up the nerve. Bet you feel much more at ease now that you've got that burden taken care of.

Hey Joseph,
Oh man, I hope you didn't take it like that - Sorry if it came off like I was asking with malice - you all know that's not my intention. Anyway, there are three such luncheons scheduled - this was just the first of the three. So, WHEN (not if) you all get in mid-March, you will have the opportunity to go as well.
The Dean's Welcome, held March 1, is a different story. I really think its strange that they aren't gonna wait and hold it after the final round of acceptees. However, in that case as well, I think they are gonna repeat (in some form) it in May - so everyone will have the equivalent of it...Good luck all.

Oh, am I just off target? I thought someone said they were going to release a round near the 15th (today) and then another round in mid March. Anyone know differently?

memo to all UofA applicants who haven't got in yet. Chill out. You guys sound paranoid...go snowbaording, hit the gym, play some ball, hit on some chicks, do anything besides whining about not hearing anything from them yet. Oh yeah, and stop calling the admissions office, I'm sure they will let us all know when they have made their decisions. Keep in mind you have med-students, professors, and admissions faculty working around the clock to put together the best possible class for 2006. Give them a break. Peace
