Discover Your Odds of Getting into Medical School
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Seems like everyone gets acceptance notices (calls or emails) between Monday and Wednesday, so this week is probably a goner. Congrats to our friends that got pulled this week!!

Everyone else, enjoy your weekend!! Funny how I have never looked forward to Monday's in my entire life :laugh:

A question for those accepted. Do we have a certain amount of days to pay tuition, get background check, physical, etc - or is there a general deadline to get that stuff done regardless of acceptance date?

I wish. Admissions told me they exhausted the high wait list past few years. People on the medium wait list move up to the high, so technically no one gets accepted from the medium list. Oscar did not lie!


There is no guarantee we'll get in.. but we should all get in. I just want to be prepared.

Well that how I imagined it to work. once the high get done, the medium moves up to being high wait-listed.

Also, there should not be a general deadline..because oscar said he even called people a few weeks before school started and even had people on standby during orientation day? if that's the case no deadline, but you better be able to pay fast.


Things aren't looking so great, but if there's enough seats left who knows...let's see who gets accepted this week from the high waitlist... :scared:
 
I was given one day to confirm my seat and a week to pay my deposit. I am now on the same timetable as other accepted students in terms of other deadlines, but I'm sure that will be adjusted for students pulled from the wait list after any deadlines. Also for those who are trying to keep track, I was mistaken, I was actually contacted on a Thursday and I replied and confirmed my seat on Friday.

Hey everyone! I'm new to SDN and just got pulled off the wait list today! This is the first school to pull me off the wait list, so I'm not entirely sure what to do at this point. Does anyone have any advice on how to best prepare for the upcoming semesters? I know that at the interviews all of the current students said not to bother studying any undergrad science textbooks, but I've been out of school for a year and wasn't sure if it'd be worth trying to catch up a bit. If anyone else has any additional advice I'd be more than happy to hear it!

Thanks!

So what are all your plans-- for those of you that don't get accepted this cycle?
I mean what are you going to do on your off time?

I have a feeling this cycle won't be "possible."
 
i want to eventually get a medical license in california and it seems like ACGME certification is a big part of that. anyone know if TUN's rotations are ACGME? or AOA?

Your question does not really make any sense...rotations can be done (depending on the school) with any licensed physician in the US and is not overseen by ACGME or AOA, you are thinking of residencies which are overseen by these two organizations. After completing medical school you can enter an ACGME or an AOA residency, but which residency you enter is not dependent on the school you went to (in general). There are TUN students who match into both...

If you have a choice, I would say go to the other one and let people who only have this school as their only choice...But then again that other school might also have people who only have that school as their only choice (or they might not ><) :scared::scared::scared:
