Counting down the days until second look, I'm so excited!!!
SAME EEK!Counting down the days until second look, I'm so excited!!!
They told me I was on the first tier waitlist, I guess I am curious how waitlist movement has been for the past 5 years and how many people are on the first tier waitlist? I lost my materials from interview day

One of my friends was already accepted from the first tier waitlist, so it's definitely a good sign.I think I remember them saying on interview day it varies greatly year to year... Last year there was very little, but I think a couple years ago there was up to 20 offers off the wait list. Being in the first tier is definitely a good sign though.... good luck!
Yup! About a month or so ago.They were already accepted this year?
Has anyone received the CastleBranch email? I noticed there was a link on the UCCOM website but the admissions office said we would receive an email. Also, does anyone know how to activate the UC email, or is that information also in CastleBranch?
yes and then I got an email tooCongrats! Was it by phone call?
yes and then I got an email too
No worries, if you got in then I think you are goodyou got a call?? jealous
I didn't get called, idk what that means
What alternate list tier were you two in?
also first tierWhat alternate list tier were you two in?
Uhh I got an email from the UC system about an acceptance but my medstop portal doesn't have a status change at all. What does that mean?
It's just weird that I didn't get an official email from medical admissions.Probably that you are accepted... congrats!!
I found out via an e-mail that I had a status update, and I had to check the portal. I did get a call too but I've heard of people not getting calls. Maybe you can call them to make sure though, especially if the portal isn't updated.It's just weird that I didn't get an official email from medical admissions.
@Lannister or another current student, could you please tell me how much time UC gives for Step 1 studying and if students think it is enough? The materials I have say that M2 ends on June 8 and that Step 1 has to be taken by June 19, which seems really short.
So do you mean there was a last block, and then 5 weeks after that to prepare for the STEP?~5 weeks is what I was told. Students at interview day/second look seemed to think it was almost too much time and that they were prepared beforehand. I believe the last block is an integration of all systems and they said it was essentially like a review for step I course.

Looking at the calendar on their website it seems that Step 1 review starts May 8 but classes end June 8, M3 begins on June 25 so I was a little confused. Is review then concurrent with classes? @Lannister
Thanks for letting us know!@Paris Geller @honey0102 I'm pretty sure that the M2s finished classes May 8th and have until the beginning of M3 to study/take step 1/take time off. But I honestly don't know much about how any of that works. @Frogger27 is correct that multi-systems is a block in and of itself, it's not taken concurrently with GI/endo/repro (which is the last "real" block of M2)".
Congrats!! I'm also on tier three so this gives me hope! I have a friend that is a current student at UC and she said that admissions made 50 less offers this year. It's good to know they put people on the wait list with the intentions of accepting them eventually. Fingers crossedAccepted! Third tier wait list acceptance, totally not expecting that!!!
I saw the portal has classes listed for fall and spring now, but I can't find like a weekly time-block schedule on there. Is that something we get over the summer or not until we get there?
I was sending housing emails today to postings in Northern KY to try to get the in-state KY metro rate and some landlord replied "By the way, be careful, if you live in Kentucky your UC tuition may rise."... does anyone know what this person was referring too?
Kinda ominous. I asked him to elaborate and he just replied, "Ask the school".
