2020-2021 Indiana

[escaperrr]

I believe around 2015 some ppl on sdn were accepted april 15 and got to participate in the lottery system 😅

To the best of my knowledge (so n=1), if you are accepted off of the waitlist, you do not get to choose your campus. However, those who are officially accepted (not off of a waitlist) can participate in the lottery system.

That’s stupid. Not all concentrations are available on every campus. For example, the Hispanic/Latino population one isn’t 🤦🏽‍♂️

More and more this is looking like a bullet I dodged

I just feel like they do a poor job of communicating. It's like they tried their hardest to make a poorly functioning admissions process. UIC, here I come 👋

UIC has done sooooo much of a better job communicating with us and doing outreach. I've already seen housing guides for that place smh. I just need my campus placement from them and i'm done lol

The webinar email on a decision day just sealed it for me. I’ll take my talents elsewhere.

 

[IAintNeverSeen2Pretty...]

So, apparently, everyone was supposed to have gotten that webinar email. People who didn't were those who were being considered EXCLUSIVELY for some of the SCPs (RMEP, for example), since they know where they would be placed.

I emailed them to ask about the status of my application, since I have nothing to lose from Indiana. I got a pretty generic answer that we are all still under consideration until a decision is sent to us, and the admissions office says they "reserve the right to extend admissions between now and June," meaning they *could* accept a few more people in April if they so choose, though I wouldn't get my hopes up based on the most recent years' threads.

Since most schools have been doing virtual interviews, applicants have been applying and interviewing at more schools than in most cycles. However, the top of the top applicants are still going to be the ones offered seats first. There will be quite a few applicants with multiple acceptance offers, and it follows that there would be decent waitlist movement this year after those top applicants narrow down their options.

Just thought I would share what I found out!

This was very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you for asking and sharing! I wish previous cycles ended by April 1st. Whether you’re reapplying or trying to narrow schools down, it’s stressful to be figuring things out as summer nears, 2022 opens, and classes start. This process is so antiquated it’s ridiculous.
Thank you for letting me vent.

 

[quincy99]

Sorry for posting so long after I got the email, but I was accepted on Monday at 12:25 PM EST! Interviewed 1/13, LM 72, IS..good luck to everyone!

 

[Golden Eagle 59]

Per an email they just sent, they have admitted their last group of students for the class of 2025

 

[FierySerpent]

I didn't get that email

 

[IAintNeverSeen2Pretty...]

I didn't get that email

I'm assuming it went out to people with current admissions offers. Probably about financial aid.

 

[yungboipremed]

What did the email say?

 

[GregTheEgg]

This sounds about right and on track given the past 5 or 6 recent years on sdn. Let's hope for a waitlist spot on April 15 lol

 

[Weeble Wobble]

What did the email say?

It was about financial aid packaging/loans and merit based scholarships.

Could you screen shot or share a copy of the email?

 

[Golden Eagle 59]

Relevant part:

Now that we have admitted our last group of students for the Class of 2025 and they have been notified as of March 15th, we will focus on getting out financial aid notifications to all accepted students who have submitted a FAFSA for the 2021-2022 academic year. We hope to get this completed by the end of March. This entails working with the IUPUI campus Financial Aid Office to schedule loan packaging. Once the financial aid notifications are out and available to you through www.one.iu.edu, there will not be much we will be doing until June. In June is when we will be able to focus attention to completing the loan Master Promissory Note and Entrance Counseling as well as asking students to complete the Grad PLUS Loan Application and Master Promissory Note.

When is too early to ask for feedback about application for next cycle? I feel like it’s too early, but I plan on retaking the MCAT and was also wondering when the latest I could take that could be. I got an interview this cycle, so I’m assuming I’ll get one next cycle if I apply with my current MCAT score, but I think my MCAT score is why held me back from that acceptance. I won’t have a lot of time to study for it and take it in May, but if take it any later, it will delay my application. So since I somewhat expect an interview and want time to study for the MCAT, I was hoping to try and be able to take it in July or August and just give an update. Obviously if I have to have my new score with my original application and can’t provide an update, I would have to start studying ASAP, which is why I wanted to email them about that and also ask for feedback on my current application. Anyways, do you guys thinks it’s too early to ask for feedback and ask about when the latest to take the MCAT is? Does anyone know IU’s policies regarding submitting an MCAT score after the application has already been submitted?

What’s your mcat

 

[fettywap123467]

did anyone get an MCAT score below 508 and get accepted?

 

[dxvxz35]

What’s your mcat

507 and it’s not evenly distributed, as I got a 125> on one section. My GPA is also not good enough (~3.6) to compensate for that MCAT score, but I can improve my MCAT score before next cycle; my GPA isn’t going to move.

 

[beautymd22]

MSAR shows the range of accepted students(particularly OOS) being from 502-521

I'm IS, so I have that in my favor. I just need to improve my application in a somewhat significant way if I want to get in, and the only thing I can really do before next cycle to do that is retake the MCAT. What's your personal opinion on my situation? Should I email them now about the MCAT, just start studying, or hope for the best this cycle? As I previously said, I'm IS and want to stay in state, so IU is really the only medical school I want to go to.

 

[hoosier99]

I was! I interviewed Jan 13 and was accepted in Februrary. 507 MCAT, 3.74 Cum, 3.64 science! My extracurriculars and letters of recommendation were what I think got me the A!

I had basically identical stats and got in. I had like 14000 hours of direct patient care as an ER/Flight nurse though, so that probably helped. Lol

Did we think that this email meant that notification of the recruitment scholarships assigned in January and February have already gone out? Or do all the scholarship offers go out at once at the end of March?

Some have gone out already, but from the email it seemed like there will still be more! Also I'm sure more will go out after the CTE date, as people currently holding scholarship spots choose not to go to IU.

Does the FAFSA have to be filled out to qualify for this?

 

[fettywap123467]

Anyone from January still waiting to hear back?

 

[beautymd22]

Anyone from January still waiting to hear back?

Yes

 

[Everythingwillbefine]

Has anyone from February heard anything?

 

[indymed28]

Has anyone heard anything about an official second look event? I know they have the campus zooms but I feel like I really don't know a lot about the program the more I think about it. I emailed them asking but they never got back to me.

 

[golfnerd]

Has anyone from February heard anything?

nope

 

[pwizzy94]

Has anyone from February heard anything?

Nothing since the campus webinar email. Fingers crossed we're all at the top of the WL.

 

[Med_For_Life]

Who here was accepted to rural program?

 

[fettywap123467]

Do we think there will be a lot of waitlist movement this year?

 

[beautymd22]

has any not gotten a decision??

 

[Yamatama]

I know there should be some waitlist movement. A friend who’s accepted has just chosen another school, as I’m sure others will be doing soon if they have not already 😶

 

[Med_For_Life]

Does anyone know how the rural program is different than the rest of the campuses? For example, what would rotations be like in Terre Haute? I'm wondering if most rotations would be family med and internal med based and then I would be required to drive to a different campus for other rotations that I'm interested in.

Also curious of this

 

[TravelBug97]

The admitted students just had a Q&A with one of the directors and he said that they admitted 52 students on the 15th of March which now makes about 450 As that have been sent out. As people start rejecting the offer they'll only start calling off the waitlist in June if it comes to that. Just thought I would pass on the information!

 

[Weeble Wobble]

This evening IUSM had a virtual social hour with the financial aid department.

Around 450 acceptances have been given out total. There were 55 acceptances given out in March. I think that proves most acceptances don't get posted on here.

Just thought I would share for anyone curious. The last round of merit based scholarships are being given out tomorrow.

So for people who haven't heard back after interviewing, are we on the WL or is there another round of decisions coming April 15?

I think it’s WL or rejections from this point

That sucks. Thank you! ^.^

 

[fettywap123467]

Does anyone know when exactly at the end of the month they meet to make decisions?

 

[Anthropologist_MD]

Did anyone hear about recruitment scholarships today?

 

[imahopefulapplicant]

Has anyone that interviewed in Feb received an A, R, or WL email?
