Glad to see I'm not alone! If I could just get in at U of A, I could at least just relax...
So I heard that Tucson admissions was actually going to send out a few acceptances today (~15%) and then again on December 15th (~20%) and then again in January.
Anyone by chance heard any good news this morning or know someone who has???
Hey guys, so I believe Tucson accepted around 10% of their incoming class (11 students) today. Of those 11 students I know three of them and all of them have ridiculously high stats. I think UA has definitely made some strides in changing their admissions criteria so that the most qualified students are accepted early on. No news yet on the Phx campus as far as I am aware.
So do we know how many of the 11 are out yet? All of them? Any reason for me to just be staring at my email all day?
Just got the acceptance email!! They've started!!!!!!😀
Just got the e-mail and couldn't be happier. Best of luck to all of you.

I think we can quit compulsively checking our in-boxes. Ann from Tucson informs me that:
"The first accept notices were emailed this morning at 9am by both campuses."
So if you didn't get an email yet, you won't be getting one today. I unfortunately fall into this category. 🙁
I guess we just have to be patient.
I was accepted yesterday as well...i interviewed in Tucson on the 27th of October and in Phoenix on the 7th of November.
How high is ridiculous?
I interviewed in PHX 10/18 and TUC 10/21...
And I haven't heard anything from PHX yet.
I swear they just throw darts @ the apps, I had a friend a few years ago with better stats than mine and they were waitlisted.
Good luck to everyone else, maybe another surprise acceptance batch will go out soon!
Hey, I just looked at your MDApps and I am surprised you were not accepted first round with a 4.0/35. Of the three students I know their average GPA was around 3.98 and MCAT around 33-34. I have heard rumors that the average MCAT from the first batch was 36, well above the 29 average. I am applying with lower than average stats so I expect either a rejection or waitlist. Unfortunately I am retaking the MCAT in January so looks like winter break may be rough 🙁 Good luck to everyone applying!
I really wanna figure out their process! I'm a very average applicant numbers wise, but very strong in my ECs and PS. I also plan to practice medicine in rural AZ/underserved areas and I mentioned that in my secondary and interview because they said they give that special consideration. I wonder how much special consideration they give that... If they're just going down their list of highest numbers to lowest, there is a very good chance that they won't be getting to me anytime soon!
If you think you are strong, then be happy and enjoy life. Before you know it you will be spending hours at the library studying.
It kind of surprises you that MED school admissions aren't a science!
Krosburg you are awesome. 👍 I always view medical school as a shining beacon of goodness that will make my life complete and always forget about the real beast of burden it will make out of me.
Thanks for frequenting here and knocking the neuroticism out of us all. 😀
I do think that all of my class thought the time between acceptance letters and orientation was the greatest part, walking on air.

Yup looks like monday will be the next release for Tucson. Although I heard Phx was going to be following the same time of release pattern as Tucson, but I havn't heard of anyone being accepted there yet....
Good luck to everyone!👍

Anxiously hoping for some good news tomorrow! Or since its 11, almost today!
