Would it be incredibly late if I were to submit a secondary this late? Lizzy around 68 (Obviously not the whole picture). Thoughts anyone?

[putmynameinbold]

10/21 is coming up on its three weeks pretty soon now...so tempted to call and ask when the AdCom is meeting for our interview day! One of the handouts said 2-4 weeks though...

[Mr. D.O.five]

II very early this morning.

Same. They sent it like at 4AM on my EST, so that means they sent it out at 1AM for them.

 

[putmynameinbold]

@DHAMZO and any other 10/21 interviewees, I just called and they're meeting for us tomorrow, 11/4, so we should hear back by Monday, per the Admissions office!

Dec 9. I don't think they offered November II

 

[rhedr001]

Dec 9. I don't think they offered November II

December 8th here! I remember reading something earlier in this thread that said they were interviewing the last week of October then jumping to the first week of December. I don't know 100% if that's the case but when checking on the interview availability occasionally I haven't seen any November dates.

 

[Sparticipant]

Dec 9. I don't think they offered November II

Also interviewing Dec 9th!

 

[Fluffy123]

Also interviewing Dec 9th!

WOOO we could meet up or something. I am traveling a few days before and staying a few days after

 

[Mr. D.O.five]

Waiting patiently so for someone to drop a Dec II so I can take it. I don't think I can wait till Jan 25! Also congrats to everyone getting II!

 

[Husky28]

Does anyone know how much financial aid they offer?

[Fluffy123]

[Atom612]

Are any of you that have been accepted and paid your deposit able to see their blackboard "financial aid 101" course?

 

[779663]

Is there free parking on campus for anyone coming to interview?

 

[Husky28]

Is there free parking on campus for anyone coming to interview?

Yes!

 

[medbunny56]

do you guys think it's too late to apply here?

 

[tiffxp]

For current AZCOM students!!
Are there any significant difference between Arizona and California (San Diego and LA)'s rotation sites?
If I want to specialize is it better to select rotations sites at Arizona?
On the email they sent to accepted students they mention that some specific rotation may be missing in California.

 

[Mr. D.O.five]

Snagged an early Dec II date! Originally had a Late Jan one. See you all there!

same here. it took me obsessively checking every 30 minutes for a week though haha

 

[bio53858]

do you guys think it's too late to apply here?

I think you still have a chance. I have heard of people completing their interview in March and gaining acceptance.

 

[medbunny56]

anyone know what their average mcat is for the new mcat??

Hi sorry I know this has been asked a lot but I am still a bit unclear of the answer - if our portal has changed and lets us submit the deposit...but the checklist shows a missing degree and transcripts..is it an acceptance or waitlist?

I thought acceptance at first because it allows me to go through the process of submitting the deposit (though I haven't yet), but then I read here that missing degree means waitlist. I know I could call but I'm just feeling a bit wimpy at the moment.

Nevermind..bucked up and called and was told that this is the case for everyone's portal once accepted (I have finished school for the record) and it is just because they have to link up with AACOMAS to get all of our paperwork through to the admin office.

Also in case people are curious:
Complete: 8/26
Interviewed: 10/26
Portal changed: 11/6 or maybe the 4th or 5th but I didn't check
Was told I would be getting a call from my counselor shortly. So official email will probably be today?

GPA: 3.67 MCAT: 510

 

[Driven_Docta]

If anyone is planning on withdrawing from an interview date in December then I would greatly appreciate it if you could DM me so I could snag it Don't want to wait all the way till late January haha

[WyomingMedStudent]

Is it ok for my Resume/CV to be 2 pages?

Mine was two pages and I didn't hear anything negative about it.

 

[bio53858]

Is it ok for my Resume/CV to be 2 pages?

CVs are usually multiple pages.
