University of Arizona Acceptances

Med School Insiders
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
NO. No one has been accepted yet. I believe the first round of acceptances will be sent the first week of Feb. I have started a 2010 official UoA thread. So lets all stay on that, as it will keep everything organized. Good luck to all.

I interviewed in mid September and the email was sent at 9:15. I hope that helps. Good luck to everyone else as well! :luck:
 
So, out of all of us trolling around SDN ONE person got in? What'd they accept today, five? *raises and eyebrow* i hear that in the past they send the e-mails out in batches. so where is everybody else?
i didn't get one either, so i guess its back to waiting. strange.
 
goodergirl, what were your stats like ? to give the rest of us an idea where we're standing in this list. congratulations, btw 🙂

That's what I'm wondering. I mean, how many do they send out and are they really all in one batch at one time? Has anyone called the admissions office and asked? I tried calling, but I always get their voicemail.
 
I also received an email today at 8:15 Pacific Time. I interviewed in mid-September....hope that helps!

From what I understood is that they are sending out 1/3 of the total seat acceptances today. So probably around 35-38 ppl will find out today

Thank you! Good luck to all of you too, remember, they're sending out two more batches in Feb. and March, so there's still plenty of time.
 
congrats Arizona people.
 
Anyone know if the Feb and March acceptances will be via email or regular mail??

they too will be sent out by email followed by certified mail a few days later.
 
Hey guys,

The second batch comes out Monday the 13th. Again good luck to everyone.
 
Am I the only one who feels like the whole U of A process is an emotional roller coaster?! Geez U of A, just send out all the acceptances at once!

I hope I don't have to wait for that 3rd batch in March with the final acceptances and waitlist! Just reject me already so that I can make preparations to move to NYC! 🙄

It is really hard to wait this long for acceptance, especially if UofA is your first and only choice.
Well I guess i just have to wait more.
 
"February 8, 2006- The second set of acceptances will be released by email and U.S. mail on February 13. "

Good luck everyone!
 
bump

good luck everyone...let's keep fingers crossed and post as soon as you get that e-mail 👍 !

There is also a class thread in the allopathic medical student forum to track.
 
Anyone heard?? This is killing me...
 
not me chachi, but when i saw a new U of A post my heart snapped a little. i thought for sure you were posting the first acceptance of the day.
We all need to get together and have a support group. this can't be good for us 🙂
 
I just called the admissions office. Apparently the emails have already been sent out. Not sure what time though, I didn't ask. There has to be someone on here who received one.

Anyone?

It doesn't help to know stats of those accepted with the U of A...unless you know exactly how the go about ranking all applicants.

IMHO, I think it has an awful lot to do with who you interview with; the quality of their report; who writes your LORs; and the quality of the letters.

Of course, GPA and MCAT have to be there, but low scores don't necessarily preclude you from being in early waves because there is so much weight given to the big picture of your application.

Worse, there is no way to figure that out either, because it depends upon who is on your admissions subcommittee; how they perceive you as a "whole applicant"; and how they present you at the final adcom meeting.

Overall, with all the basics covered (GPA, MCAT, LORs, ECs, work experience, etc), I personally believe there is a decent amount of luck involved in the admissions process at the U of A.

***Disclaimer***The previous statement in no way, whatsoever, takes anything, at all, away from, or otherwise diminishes or downplays, the hard work, dedication and top results of those who are admitted, and the order in which their offer comes.

Example: if you end up with even 1 very well-respected admissions subcommittee member who pushes hard for you at the subcommittee level, and even harder at the final adcom meeting, you could very well end up near the top of the list. Just as easily...with someone a little less respected and a little less passionate about you as an applicant...you could end up near the middle or tail-end of the pack. This whole scenario can play-out with LORs and interviews as well.

Sigh...go figure.
 
mid30premed: Thanks for the explanation to all of us. I def agree with what u said and i have heard from many that being lucky is a factor and no one knows how uofa picks students which is a little strange. I have had many friends with high mcatgpas that were rejected, but as u said it depends on everything. GOOD LUCK TO ALL🙂

mid30, i agree that its deceptive asking for stats, but its so tempting. i admittedly asked on SDN everytime i got another rejection letter in the mail for the stats of the people accepted. i still hold that there is a giant unknown aspect to getting in. I think the most important thing for people to realize is that you should take getting in as a huge personal achievement,because you did work hard, but do not take getting in personally, because it doesn't have anything to do with you,you worked hard and probably deserved getting it at least thats how i felt about it (i was rejected everywhere - lots and lots of schools! - but u of a and had resigned myself to getting rejected there too weeks ago, even had grad schools picked out just in case). I spent months being angry at other people's mcat scores whenever i got a new rejection. i wouldn't suggest doing that. i was a real grump.

I hope all my fellow sdn-ers waiting get good news. Selfish reasons, of course, i want the nice people to go to school with me
:-D

However! I did ask the other day for a good luck thread and got a bunch of shamrocks, so maybe thats how it works. SDN good luck threads seem to have a great return rate. There's the secret. SDN shamrocks.

So here's an official
:luck:
to everyone waiting.
:luck: :luck: :luck: :luck: :luc
 
I got the email too!!!! Good lucky to everyone waiting, hopefully everything thing turns out well.

Good Post!!

The one thing that really sucks about it is that the process is not kind to us applicants at all. I have began studying to retake the MCAT in APril incase. You wait so long to find out either way. 🙁
 
Congrats!!! Can U Also Please Post Your Stats? Good Luck To All Waiting!
 
here's my stats: Gpa 3.8, mcat 32, did clinical research for 3 years, published a research paper, have a bunch of abstracts under my name, published a paper in the field of economics, did a research internship at a top 10 university, 4 years hospice volunteer, 200+ hours as an ER volunteer, phi beta kappa member, member of various clubs at school and held leadership positions in few, member of a fraternity and help leadership positions in that too.

Thats about it I think. If you actually want a more detailed list of things pm me.
 
stansbury, i think i know you. do you go to asu?
 
Sorry, didn't go to Asu. But I've been to Mill ave a few times.
 
Hey,

I have also been to Mill Ave.!!! But I have also been to many of the fine drinkin' establishments along 4th Ave as well. Tough to say which is better...its like comparing apples with oranges I guess. Ahhh College....
