I was accepted to a medical school that has a 5 day summer camp next week. Is participation in this camp considered the start of matriculation? I am asking this because I am on the waitlist at another school and I know they can't offer me an acceptance once I matriculate at any other school.

Is this camp registered with the AAMC as an orientation or pre-matriculation program?

Thank you for your response, Is there a way to know this without calling the school?

Take a careful look at the matriculation agreement and see if it us part of it

The school has an orientation day for the camp, basically cpr training.
They also have a normal orientation day a day before classes start (next month).

Does that mean anything?
They didn't send any agreements yet.

You can contact the AAMC.

Is it required for all first year students?
Do you have any agenda/schedule for it?
In the end what does it matter. Either it is is or it isnt formal orientation. Are you going to this acceptance down in hopes of a WL? You have no control over the issue so CTFO

No it's not required. They said it will count as community hours but it's definitely not required.
