Treat it as a normal in-person interview by staying engaged and asking questions. I'd also review the sdn interview questions and make sure you are able to talk about fort smith and how you fit ARCOM's mission
I haven’t yet but I did see they’re available on the portal. I plan on emailing them first to confirm
yes i just sent an email to Lindsey explaining my circumstance
Was there anything you did while you were on the waitlist to help? I just got waitlisted and I’m not sure what to do in the meantime. Also, was it late in the cycle when you got waitlisted or was it earlier on?
Interviewed February. Waitlisted in March. I didn't do anything other than start prepping to re-apply and take MCAT again.
Yes on their instagram they posted that they are still taking primary applications until 03/31 too
Its March so at this point many schools including ARCOM are going to be doing either 2 things: Increase the waitlist offers and decrease the acceptances or maintain the same ratio for acceptance:waitlist:rejections at this point.
being this late in the cycle, they may just have limited seats. i thought my interview went really well. I'm struggling to understand what went wrong.waitlisted and feeling very defeatedespecially after dropping a lot of $$ to go in-person for the first available II date. Interviewed on 3/12.
same also thought mine went v well. someone at my session asked if we were just interviewing for the waitlist but Dr. Jimenez said any response is possible at this point (A, R, WL) just frustrating regardless though
yeah at this point I'm sure they're limited with the amount of As they give out. it does hurt though...especially after meeting everyone in-person.same also thought mine went v well. someone at my session asked if we were just interviewing for the waitlist but Dr. Jimenez said any response is possible at this point (A, R, WL) just frustrating regardless though
I plan on attending the boot camp online and the in-person one as well because I want to move in earlier (gotta come from MD lol)
i’ll also be attending the in person one - coming from tx but went to undergrad in MD
There is a july deadline for it. Idk if u have access to the exxat website yet with your school email, but that has all the due dates. Start doing everything as soon as possible it may take a while depending on your vaccinations.
Thanks for the response! Will do
don't lose hope. last year they admitted 60% of people off of the WL.
When do they stop sending out interview invites?
its probably a thank you note from admissions
Yes that’s what it was. Thank you!
When I called, they told me it starts typically mid-May
They just said may when I called but I’ve heard other people say mid-May so I’m not sure
There most likely should be some movement on May 1st if there's anyone that is dropping to follow the AACOMAS traffic guidelines. Especially if they got in somewhere else that they had ranked higher on their list. I think people say May 15th because the schools must give students with multiple seats 15 days to make a decision before withdrawing their seat. My understanding is that people who are proactive would've probably dropped by May 1st, but others that havent made a decision yet essentially have until May 15th.
Thank you! That makes a lot more sense!
I got the same email. I sent an LOI and asked around early-mid April about WL movement. They said:
I was interviewed on Thursday and received a call the following Tuesday.
Interviewed on a Friday and heard back 10 days after on a Monday.
