Anyone looking for roommates or know a good place near the campus please pm me. I already have a post on the excel sheet on FB page. Thanks!
Im in the same situation. Putting down a deposit as Im assuming you did for the DO school, is not a binding contract. If you get into FIU, nothing holds you back from attending. As far as the mechanics, I think a phone call to the DO program explaining the situation would suffice.On the waitlist here but have been accepted to a DO program and sent in the letter of intent already. FIU is still my first choice so is it possible for me to still attend if I'm pulled off the waitlist here? Am I "locked in" to the DO school or is all I have to do email the school and tell them I'm not attending anymore? Any info would be helpful.
Thanks! Also waiting on another MD school but that school starts in early June and I know FIU doesnt really pull people off the waitlist until July. If I somehow get into that school and start but then get accepted to FIU...is it still possible for me to go to FIU? Like I said, FIU is my first choice and would love to go there even though I would be happy just getting into any MD school.Im in the same situation.

Wouldn't hold my breath for this week.Any waitlist movement yet?
Not a peepHas anyone heard of any movement here? Trying to remain hopeful

To the current/past FIU students: I know most recommend not studying the summer before the first year of medical school, but is there anything that you did review that you found helpful, or wished you had reviewed in hindsight?
Thanks!
If that happened to me Id be equal parts ecstatic and livid lol..Yup. There is no binding contract. I had a friend get accepted to School A on the way to moving up to attend the orientation for School B and turned the car around to go to School A the day before classes started. The only thing that is time sensitive is holding acceptances. You cannot hold multiple acceptances indefinitely. There is a date by which you must make relinquish your other acceptances (while you can still sit on wait lists). This is to avoid people from hoarding acceptances and releasing acceptances for schools to disperse to waitlisted candidates.
there aren't any openings yet. I spoke with a committee member this week. The number of applicants pulled off may be very small =/
Bout the sameLizzy M scores of those currently on the waitlist?
Mine is 63.1.
I want to see if there is a chance for me haha.

FIU Alumni here, and did they reach out to you regarding this? I have considered it, but would probably advise against it (unless you have already been accepted somewhere not in the Carribean). As far as I know, they only guarantee an FIU interview and that's not enough to do another cycle and potentially be blacklisted at wherever you were accepted.How many of us are FIU undergrads?
Also, is anyone on the WL considering their certificate program?
I just got accepted to the cert program. A lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$ though =/
Hey guys, long time lurker here. I called the FIU admissions office on Monday and asked when they would begin moving the WL. I was told that they are waiting until after May 18th to move the WL because that is when they will have an accurate number of students who are actually attending. I hope I decreased the anxiety levels in some of you by posting this lol.
i wouldnt give them my money. have you looked into usf's program? unless your gpa low you dont need it

71/72 LizzyM hoping to hear back but this convo makes me doubtful IS
Thank you but I thought it wasn't ranked? Chronological order WL I thoughtI'm sure with that LizzyM you'll be at the top of the WL
Pretty sure its a 65. Hopefully we start having some movement soon.

Anyone else get the wait list status email? I was so excited for 0.5 seconds when I saw FIU HWCOM pop up in my inbox lol
On the bright side, it was confirmation that their waitlist hasn't begun moving yet! (I think that's a good thing?) Good luck fellow waitlisters!!
Got the email. I have no idea how I feel about it. There's been some movement with people withdrawing that we've seen on this thread. Likewise, We only know about the 18th being a key day because one poster was able to get that information. I doubt FIU wanted everyone to know.
Either way I think it's pretty strange that they would send us such an email the day before the 18th. I'm just confused...
