OOS Pre-II R. Weird way to reject ppl.
I’ve been refreshing my email every day since January lolAnyone have any idea about post-II hold movement?
Pre II R earlier
I think they’ll email at the very end before class starts if you did not make it off the WL. That’s what it seems like according to last yearDoes this school do post-II rejections? Or only alternate list
They have info sessions for interviewed students. The next one is on the 29Does this school have an open house? Can’t find any info on this
How do we sign up? I can’t find any info on it. Interviewed in Feb.They have info sessions for interviewed students. The next one is on the 29
MD Program - Admission and Interview Process - Penn State College of Medicine Select the interview process tab and you can see the dates and sign upHow do we sign up? I can’t find any info on it. Interviewed in Feb.
yes! they said it should be out by the 30thDoes anyone know how merit works here? Can we expect to hear about it before the 30th? Do we just need to submit a fafsa to be considered?
The deadline to PTE (Plan to Enroll) is April 30th. Once you PTE to your top choice on April 30th, you drop all your other acceptances and can keep as many WLs as you have. Most schools CTE (Commit to Enroll) deadlines are in June/July.Hi everyone! I’m sure this has been asked many times on here but I can’t find the answer.
I have been accepted here and clicked accept on the portal’s response tab. Is this a binding thing (aka I am only going to this school)?
With deadlines coming up- I’m trying to figure out if I need to email other schools to get off their WL (if it is binding. If not, I’d love to stay on WL elsewhere).
Again very sorry if it’s been answered before. I’m just very confused about the wording for the response tab and currently haven’t been able to get a hold of a person at the admins office to ask. Thanks everyone!

I'm still on hold after interviewing but I believe accepting in the portal should be fine. It is the selection of CTE on AMCAS that removes you from all waitlists.Okie cool but accepting the acceptance offer on the admissions portal isn’t CTE right? It’s just like ‘hold my spot, I’m thinking about it’?

Thanks for clarifying!this is incorrect - AMCAS CTE isn’t the official decision, to officially commit/withdraw you have to contact the school.
when you pay the acceptance deposit, you’re essentially “committing” to the school. you can have multiple “commits” as of now. for example, I’m committed to two schools now. by April 30, i have to withdraw from one school which “un-commits” my commitment and leaves me with one, aka the school I’m going to
essentially nothing is binding until April 30, where you can only hold one acceptance. however, you can still hold as many waitlists as possible.
Same I’m on week 6 and have no idea what to expect lolSo do we think next batch of decisions aren’t coming until end of month? I’m past 8 weeks at this point and have been refreshing my email regularly lol
Hey! Accepted student hereHi everyone! For accepted students/current students I had a few questions:
1. How easy is it to get on-campus housing? I submitted my app for a two-bed a month ago and am still waiting (this was a huge pro for me to go here)
2. Is driving around Hershey necessary? Are Uber/busses available all the time? I'm planning to get a car during the summer, but I am a new driver (lived in Philly and NYC) so I wanted to give myself some buffer time to adjust to school.
3. Are all of our rotations at the Hershey hospital?
tysm!
Same hereSame I’m on week 6 and have no idea what to expect lol
The only thing I’ve seen is the 25/70 from MSAR. Not sure about tiers but I’m also curiousanyone know if the AL is tiered/ what the chances are of getting off?
Hey! Accepted student here
1. I just received notification about student housing a few days ago, but you can reach out to [email protected] if you want to check in about your status
2. The students I met told me that you pretty much need a car to get around, which definitely felt like the case on my visit. If you live in student housing, you can walk to class/the main hospital but you'll need one for just about everything else. Any current students please correct me if you feel otherwise!
3. My understanding was that a good number of your rotations happen at the Hershey hospital, but there are still some that can happen in different parts of PA. Anyone who knows more feel free to add/correct me!
This also depends on the student's preference! Some people have family in Pittsburg or Philly and want to spend a few months there doing rotations. Some people who live in Hershey have to drive to Harrisburg and rarely, some people have to drive about 30+ mins to somewhere random.My understanding was that a good number of your rotations happen at the Hershey hospital, but there are still some that can happen in different parts of PA.

YesOOS hold
This is just the waitlist right?
I emailed them and let them know I was no longer interested in the UP track and it was no issue!When I initially applied I said I was interested in the University Park track but after the interview I am not interested anymore. Does anyone know if I am still required to interview for this track or am I allowed to decline?
Does this mean you were accepted off hold today? Also you should post this in the help me decide forumanyone have any advice on penn state vs ucr (40k merit scholarship)? i just got off the waitlist today and have to decide in four days
