mid-March

 

[ak1395]

So I have to re-do a vaccination series because a titer of mine came back slightly low, and this series takes about 6 months to complete. Does anyone know if I'll be missing out on anything because I dont have this series fully done? or is it no biggie.

This might be a stupid question, but where do we send transcripts to once accepted?

I have put this off for a while and I'm totally blanking here

There should be an address for the office of admissions online, I'm pretty sure you can send them there.

 

[Travelos]

Do we have to register for classes, or do anything besides immunizations, sending in transcripts, and going to orientation?

If you don't mind me asking, what was your MCAT score/GPA? Were you part of the MABS program?

 

[ns101]

Just got taken off the waitlist today! There is hope!

I was accepted off of the waitlist thursday but decided to decline. Hopefully it goes to one of you guys!

 

[ES671]

If you don't mind me asking, what was your MCAT score/GPA? Were you part of the MABS program?

Yes I was part of the MABS program this past year
My undergrad GPA was a 3.1 and MCAT score was a 505.
My Masters GPA was a 4.0, I pretty much worked my butt off for a year to offset my lower than average undergrad GPA.

Nope. Just go about your series and gets your titers after . I had to re-do my Hep B too and didn't get my titer until like Dec.

Nope your schedule is made for you. Just enjoy the rest of your summer.

Received the acceptance call today from the alternate list. It was a pleasant surprise and a validation..would've been nice to attend since I'm instate but will be taking the MD acceptance OOS. Hopefully this gives some of you who are still waiting some hope

Hi, I'm looking to apply here for this upcoming cycle and i was wondering if you guys think my letter of rec from an MD will be fine?

This happened to me as well. What did you end up deciding?

I ended up going with the other school because of the tuition cost but I think I would've been happy here too. It was a very tough decision. You can't go wrong either way so just pick what feels right for you.

 

[UnBearable]

Just withdrew my acceptance due to getting into my top choice. Good luck to anyone hoping for alt list movement at this school!

Anyone else on the waitlist still patiently waiting

Yes, starting to lose hope

Same here. If something doesn’t happen the first week of July, going to reapply. Hope it doesn’t come to that but who knows at this point, the alt list is so unpredictable ‍♂️

 

[Ma2330]

Anyone else on waitlist still patiently waiting? I’m not sure what to do at this point. Wait a little longer or just reapply

Sorry you were left waiting. I think you should probably re apply. Our first day of orientation is July 31st. I really don’t think very many if any people will drop their seat. Good luck

Still waiting as well. I started the application process just so I won’t feel short changed if I don’t get accepted this year.

 

[eberge3]

waiting too - will be attending another school but CCOM was my dream

 

[Givemethenews22]

Accepted off the alternate list 07/20! Just keep your head up. Anything is possible at this point.

 

[eberge3]

Congrats! send some good karma our way!

 

[Hopeful101]

Can anyone tell me where the incoming first year students can park on orientation (tuesday). Can we use the parking garages, even though we don't have parking passes/stickers yet?
