Receiving Regrets
Unfortunately, regrets happen. Our program is hard to get into and there really just aren’t enough spots for everyone. You can be smart, you can be nice, you can be caring and involved and good at the MCAT – you can be everything we seem to be looking for and still not get in. Please […]
Being Waitlisted
Welcome to the next installment in our series of posts about the offer process. Today we focus on the waitlist. Getting waitlisted means the wait continues, unfortunately. Being in limbo is tough and we sympathize with applicants in this position. After the first round, we try to shorten the length of the offer rounds in […]
Getting an Offer
Welcome to the second post in our series about the offers process. Today let’s look at receiving an offer. Let’s say you get an offer. Congratulations! Once you stop hyperventilating, you can log into the online application system and read the Acceptance Package Information (there will be a new tab called Offer where you can […]
Offers Process Overview
Just like you, we at the Admissions Office are counting down the days until we send out the offers! It is an exciting time for us as we see who will finally make up the class of MED 2016. This post is the first in a series of posts about the offers. Today we’ll cover […]

A few transfers are still outstanding for students who were recently accepted to the program, but these should be taken care of by the time registration opens.
Waitlist Movement
Great news for some of you! Today, we restored a number of applicants who were originally removed from the waitlist, back to their position on the waitlist. This year we have experienced an unusually high amount of waitlist movement, particularly for this late in the game, and have therefore taken this course of action. We originally made […]
No site switching
It appears that some of you who have been admitted think that if you wish to switch sites, it’s just a matter of getting someone else to swap places with you. This is not the case at all. As it says in the offer letters, when you accept an offer to VFMP, IMP, NMP or […]
Update on waitlist
As our class is now pretty much set, this afternoon we informed some people on the waitlist that they will not be receiving an offer. Very disappointing to be so close, but we did not want to keep you in limbo any longer. Hope you can now consider if you are going to apply again […]
