I don't think that you have to worry about bumping. With all of the all-topic conversation that goes on here, this thread is always on the pre-allo front page.

Does anyone have a thread for last years UF acceptances. I am curious to see what happened later on in the interview process around April.
Thanks guys
Thanks guys

They told us Mid-April
I know there's a thread from last year....it was for all FL schools but UF was big on it...it popped up recently and I guess whoever was writing on it and asking questions didn't realize it was from last year. I honestly don't remember the name of the thread, but you can search for it. If I come across it, I'll post it on here.
Thank you very much, I'm going to try to find..it would be helpful to see what happened around April with the acceptances off the hold list.
How does the hold list exactly work for UF and FSU??? If you are put on hold, and they finish the interviewing season do they accept students after the 'final evaluation' or is everyone that is put on hold later put on a ranked list, which in that case the earliest u could gain acceptance is following the may 15th deadline? thanks! 🙂

Im in that problem where I am going to FSU but would like to hear from UF before hand. If you were put on hold, then you will hear mid April when they send out a large number of acceptances. Otherwise they form a group of alternates which are not ranked. Acceptances slow down around May 15th and continue through the summer.
So I have a question...lets say you are all ready to go to FSU. Then another Flroida medical school accepts you like May 25th. You can still change your mind right. The April 15th deadline is just for the narrowing down of your choice to one school?
Turquoisey said:
I'd imagine so. Here's why...
Not taking FSU into account, but looking at schools that have the May 15th deadline.....
Every year people pick the school that they want at the May 15th deadline, but there are several people who picked one school but were waitlisted at another school on their list. So say that waitlist was their first choice, you'll find many people who ended up picking school A on May 15th ended up giving it up to go to school B past May 15th because they just got off the waitlist.
REL once explained this more eloquently. But essentially it is like a back and forth game where the ball keeps bouncing in different directions. You are still allowed to accept the waitlist position that is offered and allowed to drop at the other school past the May 15th deadline.
I'd imagine it wouldn't be too different for the earlier schools like FSU, especially considering some schools accept right up until the first week of class in some rare instances.
Thank you.
I think you are correct. I hope that the stars align and some things start moving throughout may.

I'm in the same position as you, turquoisey (acceptance at FSU but still hoping for UF). It would be interesting to know how many others are.... at my FSU interview like 15 out of 18 of the interviewees were on hold at UF- kinda scary!
HAHA.
That is just wonderful.
See you in Tally. 😉

Hey, does anyone know where I can find UM's match list for this year? also, can a facebook group be made with members at several different schools? Because I seriously made Red Tide but I couldn't invite any of you guys.
if you're in the mood to listen to an eclectic mix of music, check out www.extrememusic.com- click on get music, then x-files, then album name. You can listen to anything from arabic techno to bollywood to death metal (mainly for guju, of course). work is so much better now.
hey Q, guess who's in town today...

Ummmm, caveman? The second coming of Christ? Who?MrBurns10 said:
...can't it be both?QofQuimica said:
You were right with the first guess. You should be here, not finishing your thesis!
Thanks, Tigerstang. I checked the website yesterday but they still only had 2005 up. Anyone else impressed?Tigerstang said:

Any time. And yeah, this is a significant improvement from last year, I think.
Burns...you can't have friends from diff schools in a facebook group. SORRY!!
Does anyone know if pediatric anesthesia is more difficult to get into than general anesthesia??...I saw only one person from UM matched into it, but didn't know if it was for lack of interest or level of difficulty. Thanks to anyone with info.

oh no! I'm the only member of Red Tide!McMD said:
I always thought pediatric anesthesiology was a fellowship that you apply to in the last year of your regular anesthesiology residency. This might be a case where there are a few programs that automatically accept you from med school, but most applicants go through the regular residency first. But I'm not sure, that's just a guess. WholeLottaGame should chime in here since this is his cup of tea.
I hate tea.
Yeah, that's EXACTLY what I thought...you do a rotation in ped anest. and then later do a fellowship if that's what you want to go into...but when I saw on the Match List "anesthesia-pediatric"...I was confused. I've looked up UM'JMH's ped anest. and it says you just do a rotation in peds along with other rotations. (UM-JMH is where that person matched at)...I don't know. I guess I'll figure it out sometime in the next 4 years! (or change what I decide to specialize in).MrBurns10 said:

Did people who are accepted to UF get an email about the workings of the hold list today?
This worries me because I have yet to hear and I got a hold email.

McMD said:
Haha, I know- I'm so stressed out about all of this. I'm ready to get off this ride.
I know someone that was put on hold at UF and was accepted into FSU. They went ahead and paid the deposit for FSU and were accepted to UF days prior to starting at FSU. They are now at UF.
As long as you don't get to the point where you have to pay tuition, I think you are ok. If you had to pay tuition at FSU and then got accepted into UF, you'd basically be screwed a few grand!
The person mentioned above also had an apt in Tally from undergrad, so moving to Tally and then to G-ville wasn't a concern.

Well that is very good news. I have always wanted to go to UF. Maybe that will happen to me too.

It's a Tuesday!!!
I'm down.
Turquoisey said:
I'm in the same position, haven't heard back from UF and got the email you're talking about. Does anyone know if this means we're on the waitlist?
McMD said:
I prefer the sunshine too (hence the move back to FL), so you've got a deal.
Bad news is looks like I'm working late tonight....naked work dancing anyone?
