Dr. Loeza said that she offered admissions to more than 60 students but she can’t admit anymore until people drop off and strongly encourage people with A’s to let them know if they want to decline their offer. & Dr. Cortez said that they still require the prerequisites for people who have an A.

So CDU/ucla had their match day on the Charles drew campus today. This makes me wonder just how this new medical school differs much from the drew ucla program… in terms of curriculum, and rotations
Click to expand...
I know that a lot of their faculty hold joint appointments at both schools so its possible there are gonna some similarities in how classes are taught. For example Dr. Loeza is a faculty member of both CDU and UCLA.

Fingers crossed.

I’m trying to be optimistic but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m feeling pretty bummed today.

They’ve accepted well over 60 people, I believe about 60 have held their spot. Most (almost all) are California residents whose only acceptance is CDU. I feel like a solid amount of people are fully committed to attending Drew, but I sense there may be some people who are in the sidelines maybe on other waitlists or concerned about the cost, etc. I’m sure there might be little movement but it won’t be extremely huge movement.

Yeah this makes sense. In most waitlists there's usually very little movement. Probably an average of about 10 seats at most.

When do you guys think the waitlist emails will come out?
Click to expand...
I would say maybe by April 1st. I know the following deadlines take place next month. Realistically the waitlist will probably not move until April 30th. By now, all schools can see how many acceptances students have.

  • By April 15, applicants to AMCAS schools may be holding a spot at no more than three schools. Applicants may remain on waitlists for other schools.
  • By April 30, applicants to AMCAS schools may be holding a spot at only one school. Applicants may remain on waitlists for other schools.

My birthday is next month, so an acceptance any time in April (especially if on my bday), would be absolutely amazing. I can be patient and wait for it.

Why do you say that? I wish they told us what’s going on. Or at least reply to emails

they said they cant send any more A's til people decline their offer. Well most of the people that got in, this is their only offer so thats why we think its most likely gonna be WL or R
 
Question for those accepted and attended your meeting last Saturday, i know financial aid packages haven't been sent yet, but did they mention anything regarding fed loans/private loans/etc?
Thanks in advance!
 
so i guess they sent out a couple A's today.. i didn't get anything but I know someone who did get in

Kinda disappointed because I attended Drew and crickets

Sound about right. Drew doesn't pay attention to students outside of their postbacc program. For example, their view of their master's program is: you are good enough for other schools but not us (there are a few exceptions). It is almost starting to sound like a scam. They basically had enough former Drew students apply to fill half of their inaugural class (so i was told).

Yea. Based on their 4 year MD plan on their website, getting a high rate of those post bac students matriculating was part of their plan and one of the metrics they are using to gauge their success of creating the MD program.
