I'm surprised as well. Maybe we'll get something in a few hours? If not it'll definitely be some time this week.

Correction: There have been cycles where waitlists aren't given out until late April/early May, so we may have to wait even longer :(

If you have proof of recent Varicella vaccination, then no. If you don't, then you either need to get your bloodwork done or get another Varicella. I ended up needing to get Varicella and TDaP, but I think you have until like June/July to get that done. Thank you!

I believe the one-time scholarships have not been announced per Jose’s email. Only the large ones where some applicants get it renewed yearly. Okay well my sister who got accepted in January got notified that she got a scholarship and got her first choice in campus placement...

Just trying to provide some form of predictability in these times of chaos. If anyone wants to know more information on what went on around this time in previous cycles, just click the link below the year and it will take you to that first waitlist comment in each cycle. Hope this helps!

[Note: I didn't bother providing cycles before 2017 as it seems IU followed a different schedule compared to the more recent past few years]

Didn’t they also do like two waves of WL in 2021?

I'm glad you pointed that out. Apparently there was one according to this comment: 2020-2021 Indiana

However I couldn't find the exact time the second wave came out (has to be some day between the first wave 4/23 and that comment 4/30). Plus a lot of comments in other cycles say there is only 1 wave, so no idea what's going on there. Let's just hope to be part of the "first" one lol.

Does IUSM require the use of the AAMC CYMS tool by May 2nd?

Admissions said "Plan to enroll" is not required ever. But you have to select "commit to enroll" by July 11th.

What if maybe there is no waitlist this year?
Click to expand...
Relax fam, I highly doubt that's possible. If you check one of my earlier messages on this forum you'll see that the waitlist dates vary every year, from mid April to even early May some years. I'm sure we'll hear something within these next two weeks

(btw I updated it shortly after I originally posted it to include even more cycles. Turns out the past 10 or so years have followed "similar" schedules. I just didn't put together that early May is right after April lol)

Does anyone know how the campus lottery works?
Click to expand...
Admissions is super murky on this topic... Online it says applicants are ranked and that's it. After attending a few of the First Look events each campus dean shared some more insights. Indy and Bloomington are the two most popular campus selections. If you rank Indy as your top choice, I was told it's like a 30% chance you actually get it. If you rank any other regional campus as your top choice, except Bloomington, you'll most likely get that spot. Not sure what the odds are for bloomington.

Also, the time when you rank the campuses may be factored into the lottery (one dean said yes, another no). So maybe people who were accepted early have a higher probability of getting their top choice.

One thing I heard faculty and deans talk about was students who went to the undergrad institution that hosts the regional campus are more likely to be placed there. So people who went to Purdue are most likely to be placed in West Lafayette even if ranked differently, Notre Dame in South Bend, IU in Bloomington and so on... Not sure how that's factored in but that's what I was told.

So it's not as simple as just ranking applicants. there are more things factored into placements. Take this with a grain of salt because it's still one of the great mysteries of the world.

I think those odds are very low. In years past, 10-15ish people have posted on SDN that they were waitlisted.

IUSM waitlists have taken as long as early May to be sent out in some cycles. No worries, I'm sure we would have heard by now if they were sent out. Still another 2 weeks minimum that we can expect an update.
 
For those of you also waiting, I just called the admissions office, they said they have no concrete date for when decisions will be given out for applicants who haven't heard a decision. They said the committee meets periodically and that the latest they could deliver a decision would be June 1 and unfortunately, they have no additional information other than that.

Last year they went out May 7th (Friday of the 1st week in May).

They only tell us they’ll come sometime in May, but hopefully next week.

Is anyone familiar with IUSM's drug testing policy?

Do they test students at all? Is it at the start of 1st year, or the start of clinical rotations?
 
Also withdrew my A from here this morning. Good luck and congratulations to all of you, wherever you may end up!

I withdrew my application from further consideration today. I wish I could have heard back from IU SOM one way or the other but I have an acceptance elsewhere that I am ecstatic about.

I hope those who are still waiting hear back soon.

You have to send transcripts directly to the school. It is stupid, but they cant use the transcripts from AMCAS as "official" so they need a fresh set of them directly to the admissions office.

So does no waitlist email and no portal update mean rejection? I'm assuming so...

This is fair, but do I send It to them after I have been accepted already?
