As far as I know we have:

Seton Hall
Kaiser
Nova
Roseman

I can't find Roseman or Kaiser on MSAR though, is that because we can't apply to those yet?

I would love a list of new Medical schools.

Seton Hall - already open
Nova - already open
Kaiser - candidate status for preliminary accreditation
Roseman - did not get preliminary accreditation

Also coming down the pike: TCU, NYU Long Island, and U of Houston
 
Seems like quite a lot of new schools are opening...I truly hope this isn't to the detriment of medical students entering the match in a few years.
Doubt it will. Most of these classes are well under 100 seats per. In the grand scheme of the Match, I wouldn't expect too much to change, especially not for US MD grads. Ortho/neurosurg/derm/plastics etc are still going to be just as competitive, FM/IM/peds etc. spots will still go unfilled in many places.

If anything this might slightly squeeze the IMG/FMG applicants. Another reason why Carib isn't as viable an option these days. Even DO should be fine as before in the less competitive fields.
 
Anybody have any idea on if Kaiser will open in time for Fall 2019 enrollment?

Not a California resident but hoping for a Seton Hall type situation where they get prelim accreditation and start their application process midway through the normal cycle to get a class in.
 
I know in Texas Sam Houston state will open one in 2020. Tcu and uh will open up fairly soon as well. I imagine all three of these schools will be the low tier ones in Texas.

February isn't midway through the normal cycle, it's at the very tail end. CNU and CUSM both did super-abbreviated first cycles for financial reasons. Seton Hall spent weeks wavering on whether or not to admit a class this year (a pretty bizarre thing to happen, frankly), and then the university left the school's funding entirely to Hackensack Meridian (also a pretty bizarre thing to happen). Weirdness all around.

Given everything I know about Kaiser, its goals, and its resources, I think they will only enter an admissions cycle if they receive accreditation at a June or October meeting.

So assuming that a June or October prelim accreditation would be required for Fall 2019 enrollment, what are the chances of that happening? Is it more likely than Kaiser will NOT have a class starting Fall 2019?

And I heard about the Seton Hall fiasco. Kind of crazy how it all started and how it all ended up (though I guess Hackensack being the primary decision maker is probably for the better considering their reputation and experience training residents). Will need to do some in-depth research before deciding whether or not its worth an application this upcoming cycle. As @Goro says, medical schools are starting to be opened up and funded by hospital groups/systems rather than academic centers.
