I noticed that University of Arizona - Phoenix isn't in the MSAR. Why is that? Are there any other schools that aren't in the MSAR?

Let me bump this thread. I was wondering this too. And can you apply to both campuses?

I believe it is because they are still technically under UA-Tucson's accreditation

Look at the application requirements of UA - Tucson. It has deadlines for both campuses and for secondaries it says "Campus specific - by invitation only" so presumably MSAR are grouping both campuses together for now.

Yeah but on the AMCAS application, you can select both to apply to (and you have to pay two fees). Strange.

Yea and two secondary fees if you get an "invite" from both campuses.

The MSAR combines the statistics from both schools. Phoenix has been awarded separate accreditation by the LCME to begin in 2016 (not publicized yet), and they are starting the process of separating themselves from the Tucson campus. They each have different links attached to their site that lists the stats specific to the school.

How about University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign? I just saw that one of my friends is going there, and was really confused cuz I only know about U of Illinois having a Chicago campus med school. Looked at the UI-UC website and it didn't appear to be a branch of UIC, so I dunno whats goin on there.

UIC has four campuses, two of which have MS-1 classes (Chicago and Urbana/Champaign), but the application is the same for all of them. After acceptance you get the opportunity to rank the campuses in order of your preference, ie 4 years in Chicago, 4 years in Urbana, or 1 year in Urbana with the other three in either Rockford or Peoria.

Ah, ok. I was confused because most schools that do something like that have it all on one website (at least as I recall), but the Urbana-Champaign campus had its own website which now going back I had to read through very carefully to pick up on that.
