Wow congrats! That was a quick turn around.
I'm pretty sure we interviewed on the same PRIME day. Do JMP applicants typically hear back sooner than MD?

To any current students - do you know if waitlist movement will occur in March again this year?
Absolutely no way of knowing. It didn't happen the year before I applied or the year after, but it did my year - it honestly seems to be down to whether they feel like they've hit their target number of acceptees by Accepted Students Weekend, and on years they come up a bit short, they pull from the top of the waitlist to hit that number.
I certainly wouldn't bank on hearing anything back in March - if it happens, it'll be a pleasant surprise, and if not then you know things are going as usual and to wait for May.
Interviewed mid-January, accepted last night. This was a pleasant surprise, so good luck to those still waiting to hear!
Email.how did you find out? Was it a call or email?
Email.

Any clue when we will hear back about fin aid?
Wofsy said that the amount of time it takes them to release their decision post-interview is completely meaningless and there's no way to predict what your decision will be or when you'll receive your decision based on when other people from your interview day hear back, so don't read into it at all!Has anyone else from mid-Jan onward heard regarding rejection? I interviewed mid-Jan, and the people who heard back were accepted and waitlisted, so that might be only the last option left for me? Then I think sometimes people get passed several rounds before getting a decision...

Hi! If you've been e-mailed about making it to the phone interview they should contact you soon with a couple of dates/times to choose from. Let me know if there's any specific questions I can help with.
- strong focus on research: we spent the first two weeks in Jan. after winter break in an intensive research immersion course that introduced us to research being done across many domains (so not only biomedical and clinical research but also population/epidemiological, public health and disparities work, education science, etc) and got to explore topics in discussion groups facilitated by experts in their field. My particular course was centered on precision medicine and it's capacity to either alleviate or exacerbate health disparities, which was conducted by physician researchers who have worked on state and national policy in these matters). I do want to stress that although research is a huge strength here, students are by no means funneled into strictly biomedical/clinical research and the strengths in community-based work and other domains are huge too
- aking, examining our implicit biases, integrative and complementary medicine, health inequalities and justice. I have no idea how much these things are touched upon at other medical schools but I think it's really cool to be given the formal space to learn about these important topics while we're medical students.
Can you comment on the research opportunities here? Are there any mechanisms in place to link med students to labs/PIs? Are there any stipends or funding resources we have access to? Is it difficult to do research at Berkeley? Any red-tape to be aware of?
Thanks!

^^I was wondering about this too. Does anyone know if we're ranked in some way, or if it's just about when you were WL? I'm trying not to obsess but clearly that's not going well
