How'd you know your rank already?

They send unofficial acceptances on Fridays of each interviews. It’s not quite the same as the waitlist as they tell you to expect an official acceptance letter in a week or two after people miss the deposit due date.

Some miracle happened and I got accepted! I was wondering if there are any students, more specifically third years, that are willing to get in touch with me so I can ask some questions about the school and rotations.

Accepted Student from Idaho here. I'm curious if any current 3rd year students could speak to availability of 3rd and 4th year clinical rotation spots in the Treasure Valley. Is there any preference given to Idaho residents to remain in Boise/Meridian/Nampa/Caldwell? Do we know how many core site spots in the Treasure Valley there are?

Idaho residents are generally allowed to return to their place of residence for rotations whether that be Treasure Valley, Twin Falls, or East Idaho. There are 50 students rotating in the Treasure Valley core-site and half the class is in Idaho, overall.
 
Has anyone been accepted off the waitlist yet? Or do you know your rank on the waitlist?

I emailed admissions about Five days ago and they said that they have not ranked the WL. That should happen this month though, however.

Will we be given our rank and told about how many people are accepted off of the list every year?

Congrats future Dr! But you were originally on the waitlist right? I'm really happy they looked at the list already. I'm not sure what you did but it worked!

I’m not sure why! He was pretty rude the whole time. He continually cut me off in the middle of my responses because my answers were not sufficient. Maybe it was a stress test, but it sure seemed like he wanted nothing to do with me. And it was a pretty big turn off honestly. It’s okay though, I like my current acceptance a lot more, so I don’t need to worry about it too much! I’m glad to hear that others had really positive experiences!

Hi, i’ve got some questions for you but your profile is private & I couldn’t send a message (I’m also an SDN newbie & not sure how it all works sometimes). How can I get in touch?

Hi all new friends and soon to be classmates! Please join the CO 25' Facebook group if/when you decide to matriculate here! Also, DM me about any Q's related to this school's admission process or whatever else! I finished my admissions cycle in October so I've had plenty of time to figure out what went right!

Super conversational and low stress in my case. Panel interview with 2 interviewers. They were very familiar with my application.

I have a alumni who recently got accepted here. He received 7 DO interview and got 6 waitlist. Finally ICOM accepted him!
Idk what's going on with this cycle, all my 4 DO interview turns to a waitlist. (ICOM, PNWU, LECOM-PA, Touro NV)
In this case I assume that people are holding multiple waitlist at this time.
Those on the waitlist don't panic, I think the waitlist movement this year is going to be gigantic than ever.

What’s going on is an 18% increase in DO applications and a 17% increase in MD applications. Add that to 60% of applicants that don’t get into MD every year, and another 60% that doesn’t get into DO... this cycle is super hard to say the least.

Applied January 27th, submitted my secondary January 30th, got an II February 19th. They are super efficient lol.

Was able to sign up for the Feb 23rd interview date. There are only a couple slots left, with the last day being March 23rd. I think I'm interviewing for the waitlist sadly but maybe I'll have some luck! :)
