TUCOM Mare Island waitlist...
Started by CreoUCLA
they said the first of July...nothing yet... 😳
I don't understand this I have written Dr. Haight several times over the months I have been on the wiatlist and he never replies and now when I need him to reply I can't get him or Steve to answer my email. I have been offered a seat at another school but I would much rather attend TUCOM so I wrote to find out my position on the waitlist and I can't get an answer. I even called and the secretary told me th email Dr. Haight for that answer! AHHHHH
Any suggestions?

u know, for some reason I was under the impression that all wait lists are not ranked (its illegal?)... but I'm sure every school does, they just don't tell you.... 😕
I dunno... maybe I'm wrong?
but the COMP ppl said the waitlist is not ranked... 😕
hope this helps, kinda sorta?...

any new updates??? This waiting is tough... 🙁
I've heard the waitlist movement will probably not be much this year. Of course, this is just what I heard.
Good luck to whatever everyone decides.

Who/what source did you hear this from (if you can say)? After talking with a woman in the admissions office last week, she said that there has been waitlist movement. Dr. Haight confirmed this after talking to him on Monday, as he stated that two people were recently taken off that same day. Just trying to see where we stand...

My apologies...I was referring to the Las Vegas site...not the Mare Island site.

No problem... Just had me worried there for a sec. 🙂 I know that the LV campus probably won't get many off the waitlist because there were only ~75 spots to fill. That and the fact that Dr. Haight mentioned (about a month ago) that the waitlist for LV was longer than MI. Guess the draw of Vegas is greater than an ex-Naval base. 😉

Sorry for the worry 🙂 . I hope you don't have to wait too much longer to find out. I wish people would decide where they want to go already so that others can make plans. Best of luck. I loved SF even though Touro is on an ex-naval base. You go to school to learn anyway-not for the scenery.CreoUCLA said:
Good luck, Mike! 🙂

Well, I'm only worried because it determines where my girlfriend goes. She's the one who is on the waitlist at Touro, but has been accepted to LECOM (Erie). I'm just her liaison (...who signed up for SDN). 😉 We're both Southern California natives, so TUCOM is her first choice. Also there is the fact that she would have to move to Erie soon since their orientation begins on July 28, so we're both dying to find out from TUCOM. I start law school in the fall, so we're trying to stay as close to each other as possible (at least in the same timezone). 😀
Thanks,

I see. Well, good luck to you both!!! Glad to see that you're supportive of her and she's supportive of you. Wishing you all the best! 🙂
Well I was not one of the two that were taken off... 🙁
Hope they send out these letter soon...I have a lot of moving to do if I get in.

Hi there everyone,
And good luck to you who are still on the waitlist. I was accepted to LECOM-Bradenton and while I would prefer staying on the west coast, I emailed Dr. Haight and told him I needed to get on with mi vida loca so I withdrew off the list. According to this site the class is full and I didn't want to wait any longer. He emailed me back and said that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
I was really disappointed but C'est la vie and it could be much worse< I might not have gotten in anywhere and had to start over.

I understand how you feel, specialkay (and congratulations). I visited the campus (err... building) at Bradenton with some friends who will be attending there in the fall, and it should turn out decent. At least you won't have snow to deal with like LECOM - Erie. 😉 But, hopefully my gf will be accepted to TUCOM so I can be a 1-hour plane ride away as opposed to an 8-hour saga. 😛
Baditude, when did you contact Dr. Haight last? I believe he was out of town the week of Aug. 30th.
And good luck to you too, ChantillyLace. 🙂

Hi...I am also on the high list and have been recently accepted at another school...even though I would have loved to stay in CA...I decided to take the other offer and let someone with no choice get a seat for TUCOM...good luck with the choice...just try and think about your fellow doctors to be
good luck everyone...
