I’m hoping they are well under 90 and just being very careful to not go over. Probably not though, likely full booked and maybe a few will drop over the next few months.
Well...hopefully schools pick off people in both the A and WL categories.I’m hoping they are well under 90 and just being very careful to not go over. Probably not though, likely full booked and maybe a few will drop over the next few months.
Noorda rejects post-II? I thought everybody who didn’t get an A just got waitlisted O_O.Atleast they reject post II and only interviewed for a few months.
I’m on a WL at a school who WL’s everyone who isn’t offered an A and they’ve been interviewing since September 😂
I thought so as well, but someone earlier in the thread said they were rejected.Noorda rejects post-II? I thought everybody who didn’t get an A just got waitlisted O_O.
I think Noorda rejected mostly during pre-II so there might not be as many R’s post IINoorda rejects post-II? I thought everybody who didn’t get an A just got waitlisted O_O.
Ohhhhhh! I did remember that.I thought so as well, but someone earlier in the thread said they were rejected.
True. I just wonder how many folks are on the WL.I think Noorda rejected mostly during pre-II so there might not be as many R’s post II
😂😂😂😂 whatever investigating you’re doing can not be healthyFB group went from 70 to 68. Iiiiiinnterstinng.
Hey give Cptoveur credit where it’s due. That’s top-level dedication 😁😂😂😂😂 whatever investigating you’re doing can not be healthy
I came here to post the same thing just to see you beat me to it!!FB group went from 70 to 68. Iiiiiinnterstinng.
are tiers supposed to change? I think this week is the deadline for the $3k for the batch that got accepted earlier this month. Could we see movement?Has anyone been accepted off the waitlist? or has anyone's tier changed?
maybe I'm wrong but I thought the deadline was March 15th so last weekare tiers supposed to change? I think this week is the deadline for the $3k for the batch that got accepted earlier this month. Could we see movement?
No, I'm thinking of the 2 week deadline for the people that got accepted second week of March. They had 2 weeks from 3/9 (I think?) to submit their $3K. So that would be this coming weekmaybe I'm wrong but I thought the deadline was March 15th so last week
Go to the aacomas website and look. I think it opens end of may; could be wrongI'm interested in applying for the next cycle, when is the earliest I can apply? This DO school is my top choice.
Thank you, do you think I have a chance at being accepted?Go to the aacomas website and look. I think it opens end of may; could be wrong
Just by GPA you’re right at what they posted for their first batch of applicants.Thank you, do you think I have a chance at being accepted?
I have a 3.37 Cumulative GPA and 3.3 Science GPA.
I have 7 degrees, a Certificate in American Sign Language and I'm BLS-AED certified through the American Heart Association.
I have worked in a Burn Center for 5 years (Full Time) and in the past, I worked as a Pharmacy Technician for 1 year (Full Time).
I was also a COVID-19 Screener for 4 months (March 2020- June 2020).
I'm also a nontraditional student.
DibsWill be declining my A! Hope it goes to one of you guys on the WL! ◡̈
Not yet. Will I need it to apply for the next cycle?Just by GPA you’re right at what they posted for their first batch of applicants.
Did you take the MCAT?
Of courseNot yet. Will I need it to apply for the next cycle?
What data gives you that impression? I am OOS and not a racial minority. I am another kind of minority, though.Seems like they accepted all white in-state students and tried to diversify by accepting OOS minorities. I wish med schools would start taking the best candidates regardless of IS/OOS and race.
Woah... @MissRibeye has had open dialogue with the school and has been responding to people’s questions in an extremely helpful way.The accepted students they’ve introduced on social media thus far.
You’ve been responding to the questions/concerns/comments as if you’ve had an “in” this whole time. I don’t know how you’d know some of the “facts” you’d know without insider info. Unless you’re making assumptions ?
True, it was just an assumption from the tone of your postsHow do you know I didn’t get in? Lol
You have to also consider Utah is 88% white. Also, Med schools can pick whoever they want, but this country has a huge need for minority Drs.Seems like they accepted all white in-state students and tried to diversify by accepting OOS minorities. I wish med schools would start taking the best candidates regardless of IS/OOS and race.
I think you may be interpreting my comments as having insider information (of which I have some, that's true...) or making assumptions, when really, I have been trying to course-correct the thread from misinformation and assumptions which are based on very little real data and/or do not fall in line with my experiences or conversations with leadership at this school.The accepted students they’ve introduced on social media thus far.

I am an accepted student that had some questions for admissions. They set up a zoom call with me and gave me a lot of time to exhaust all possible questions and concerns. That is it. This is a very common thing for accepted students.And wait, so you’re saying when others call admissions they don’t get adequate responses, but @MissRibeye does? That doesn’t make sense, yeah?
I don’t see where you’re coming from or any instance where they have had insider information that other people could not access.And wait, so you’re saying when others call admissions they don’t get adequate responses, but @MissRibeye does? That doesn’t make sense, yeah?
Interesing! I would hope my answers were based on facts or I was clear in my writing that I was just guessing, but I wouldn't put it past myself to be imperfect. If so, I apologize!You were answering questions before you were accepted. You either had insider info as you have already admitted, or you were giving info as if it were factual, yet only based on assumptions. Where’s the lie? Lol
When you were asked where do you get your impression from this was your response. That’s how we know you have not been accepted. If you were accepted you would have seen the Facebook group and known that your claims are baseless.The accepted students they’ve introduced on social media thus far.
How do you know they didn’t take the best candidate and you just happened to not be one of them? That’s what I mean by they can accept who they see fit. I didn’t say WHO THEY WANT.I wish med schools would start taking the best candidates regardless of IS/OOS and race.
LOLDo you realize you’re agreeing with me? LOL
Thanks for the affirmations 🥲You seem to be overly argumentative when you think someone disagrees with you on this thread. Why is that? Relax. Stressful process, I get it. Your time will come.
+1...What data gives you that impression? I am OOS and not a racial minority. I am another kind of minority, though.
Projection is a classic defense mechanism.You seem to be overly argumentative when you think someone disagrees with you on this thread.
Hes also from the UK. Of course it’s more difficult to get into an American medical school. He went from applying to dental school to medical school lol.lol I hope nobody was bothered by that prick. A quick google search shows them very active on the pre-dental threads so I’m not really sure what that was all about.
After reading your response it’s not surprising to hear of your success of getting multiple As! You’re so mature and helpful — I definitely appreciate your efforts and asking questions for us and being so awesome in updating us. I wish you the best of luck as a future doctor!When someone lashes out without basis, all you can really do is feel sorry for them, because that kind of behavior is most often coming from a place of hurt and frustration.

In other news, I will be withdrawing my acceptance here for my local school, which just accepted me.
There are so many wonderful people on the waitlist, I'm so glad to make room for one of them!
I can't wait to hear about how Noorda plays out. There's a lot of courage behind what they are trying, and I have so much respect for people that are willing to try new things and iterate in order to solve some of the many problems in medical education. If it weren't so expensive and brand new, this would've been a lot harder of a decision for me.
Thanks so much for all the work you did in providing us with information about this school! We will miss you in this thread 😢When someone lashes out without basis, all you can really do is feel sorry for them, because that kind of behavior is most often coming from a place of hurt and frustration.

it can elucidate (1) you have some idea of one of the most important aspects of our healthcare system, of which you will be an integral part & (2) you know how to explore different sides of an issue, land on a side, and defend it calmly and maturely and not get flustered.One thing that caught my attention for this was them asking questions that could raise concerns for the applicant....
on my interview day, I had 3-4ish healthcare policy questions - I would like to know on what basis does this help them know am I a good “fit” and how well I do in med school. Lmao
