Summary of Application Experience
Finished 19 secondaries, 9 II (8 MD/PhD, 1 MD-only). 3 acceptances (UTSA, CU Denver, IU-MD only), 3 waitlists, 1 rejection, 2 not attended)
Summary of Experience:
Loved it here, but as far as I can tell it is only really accessible to people with prestigious backgrounds. Lucky to have been given a shot, though.
Summary of Experience:
It has been four months since my January interview and I have yet to hear anything from them. No idea what to do with that, but either way extremely unhelpful for applicants. If we're waitlisted, just tell us.
Summary of Experience:
I was told in March that I had the first waitlist spot. Gave me more time to think and ended up deciding the cold would be too much for me. Wonderful, wonderful people here. Absolute favorite program people, just didn't have the right opportunities or weather.
