Has anyone heard anything about waitlist movement? Feel like we should be seeing stuff by now

A friend of mine just said yes to her acceptance so I think once they know everyone who is coming then they will work off the waitlist

Personally just withdrew my acceptance, best of luck to those on wl!

For those accepted, was there a specific deadline from U of A Tucson by when they wanted to hear back or when their specific CTE deadline is?

From their FAQs:

June 24, 2024: “Commit to Enroll” is required to be selected by students matriculating to the College of Medicine – Tucson. Failure to do so will result in rescinding of the admission offer.

For what it's worth, I've seen a good amount of people leave the groupme chat since April 30th, but few (if any) new people have joined

Has anyone called? I’m thinking because they nearly exhausted their waitlist last year that there won’t be any movement this year because they changed their protocol

Can you clarify? When did they say they exhausted their waitlist last year?

Sure! I called a couple months back to inquire when the waitlist/rejections would come out. The lady was very kind and said that last year (2022-2023) they exhausted their waitlist so there was a lot of movement. She sounded like it was a novel event. Im just theorizing, but I think maybe since they nearly didn’t have a full class last year, they expanded their waitlist this year and haven’t really been using it.

And do we know if the class size is 120 or 160 this year? I remember seeing they were going to increase it, but wasn't sure if that would be for class of '28 or not

I believe they were not able to increase it just yet and the ‘28 class will be 120 still

Does anyone know if admissions has mentioned the class being full or no?

I called and they confirmed the class size this year is 120. With 138 people in the Groupme, I assume the spots are filled but not everyone who will withdraw their acceptance has yet. Does anyone know if the CTE deadline was pushed back?

I believe it’s still June 10th. But since we haven’t seen movement at all and there’s 138 in the GroupMe, I think Im gonna hang up my hopes for an acceptance lol, best of luck everyone else!

Did admissions give you that June 10th date? On their website, it says the CTE date is June 24th. Frequently Asked Questions | College of Medicine - Tucson
