Last Minute Notes on Site Selection
It is only two days before site preference forms are due and we understand that some applicants are still somewhat uncertain about site selection and if the sites they rank will affect their chances of admission. This has come up before in previous years and to confirm, site selection does not affect your admissibility to […]
Waitlist Round 2
Just a quick not to say that we sent our second round of waitlist offers (eg. third round of offers) today. The deadline is Wednesday, June 5 @ 12:00 noon PDT. Congratulations to those who received an offer!
Waitlist Round 1
We know some of you are eagerly waiting to hear news about how the waitlist is going and we apologize that we could not post sooner (the website underwent some back-end upgrades last week and a freeze was instated). We sent our first round of waitlist offers on Thursday, May 23 in the afternoon. The […]
Being Waitlisted
Being Waitlisted As you can imagine, we are getting a number of questions from applicants who have been waitlisted. We understand that being waitlisted frequently feels like a combination of disappointment at not being admitted, elation at not being rejected, and confusion about what to do and how to prepare for the future.

MED 2016 Class is Full
Orientation for MED 2016 started today. Best wishes to the class of MED 2016 as you start on your path to medicine! Since the class is now finalized, we notified the few remaining applicants on the waitlist. The news was probably not unexpected to most of you. Knowing for sure that no more spots will […]
Waitlist Shortened
We shortened the waitlist today. It may seem like bad timing due to the holiday weekend, but we know that a lot of you have been waiting on this for a while and we wanted to let everyone know as soon as possible. We also thought that having an extra day to be with supportive […]
Fourth Round of Offers Sent
The fourth round of offers were sent yesterday, with a deadline of Monday at noon. As always, congratulations to the newest members of MED 2016! While the waitlist is still moving, fewer and fewer spaces are available so we anticipate future rounds will be smaller and faster (meaning shorter deadlines). Because of this we are […]
