I'm so confused by this because I got an invite from them 11/10. Why would they send out invites if they're full ?? Also I'm so sorry they said that in the call. I just feel that it's so strange to say you're accepted but the class is full so you have to wait? I'm so confused cuz is that technically not an acceptance??
thats how it works. Basically class is full but everyone who got in wont attend. People will withdraw their acceptance. The deadline to accept the offer and pay the deposit is sometime in December. So all the people who got accepted are waiting to get other acceptances before they make their final choice. So if like 50% of the people take another acceptance and withdraw from ATSOMA then ATSOMA won't have any students left, hence they why they interview and waitlist people.
Wow ok I never knew that ! Is this a common thing among med schools?
yup. ACOM does this. they are interviewing out already til April last i heard.
From what I’ve heard, the CA sites are all filled as of right now and if you got in you would have to be on the waitlist for that site. However, after talking to admissions and hearing from people who applied last cycle, they are constantly moving people and admit people as late as June into the class or even a couple weeks before classes start. So I would say you still have a chance! I hope that helps
Sorry to hear that! When did you interview if you don’t mind me asking?Just received a post-II R here. Kinda stings, but gotta move on, haha. Good luck to everyone else!
No worries! My interview was on 10/13.
You have to find housing on your own
what is an alternate? is that similar to waitlist?
Stats? complete date?
LM: 69 and complete late june.
Congrats! When did you interview?
I also enjoyed it. One of my more positive interviews. Cool they have the Dean present to talk and answer questions.
Interviewed 11/10 and have not heard anything.
What kind of update do you mean? The OP has included a link in the initial post in this thread with a lot of detail on the PBL if that helps
The document that was included is from April and was supposed to be implemented this academic year (2021-2022), but to my understanding it was not. So I wanted to see if anything has changed from that proposed curriculum for next academic year (2022-2023). It is also a transcription of a meeting/Q&A so I was wondering if there was any more substantial information that has been put out since. They also named a new dean over the summer so I wasn't sure if that would impact anything. Lastly, during the interview I had, it was still phrased as a proposed, not confirmed, curriculum change.
This school doesn't do silent rejections. If you haven't heard back that means you're still being considered.
Source = me (current OMS-2) and I've sifted through many past school threads
Would this be the same for pre II? They emailed me a while back that seemed personal about a particular LoR and I still haven't heard back after it was sorted
Yep also applies to pre-II's
Does anyone know if this proposed PBL curriculum change has been confirmed for next academic year (2022-2023) or not? This is a VERY big issue that incoming students should be fully aware of. Some students avoid applying to schools that use PBL, so an official announcement or timeline of when to receive confirmation on this issue would be helpful. The fact that there is nothing public or official about this at this point other than rumors and the document at the beginning of this SDN thread is not good.
Yes, they have been confirmed. I know one of the clinical professors and says they have meetings every week to discuss the implementation of the PBL curriculum. They have started to implement it on current students.
Sorry! my first time using SDN, he also said the curriculum is a bit of a disaster given all the new changes. Not to deter anyone from atsu-soma. He also said that the professors cannot seem to agree on much as they are pushing the implementation of the new PBL curriculum.
