Ahh yea that's true I've seen people waiting on assignments too and that can make a big difference like you said. I remember someone was told by an admissions member during a tour that movement will start in April but I'm sure it's really like the very end of April lol.
I’m surprised campus assignments haven’t been released. Considering the PTE deadline where you need to choose one school is approaching.
Yes that's true!
has anyone reached out to admin to find out what the hold up is? last year’s thread didn’t seem to indicate this many or really even any issues w campus assignments
I’m on waitlist rn but I agree. Sucks for those of you who are still deciding between schools when you have to narrow one down by April 30th.
Yeah most stay in apartments, at least in Augusta.There's a link in the GroupMe with a Canva presentation of several places to live in Augusta, including a pros/ cons list, distance to campus, and price range
Orientation/ first day of class starts July 22
After receiving no response to an email I sent 2 weeks ago concerning this issue, I called admissions yesterday, and was told that "they are still in the process of sorting assignments" and there is "no definite date as to when decisions will be released". I'm not sure what's going on, but MCG is making it pretty hard for us students by not releasing campus assignments or financial aid so close to the AMCAS deadline. What do you peeps think about this?
I just wonder what the hold up is. They’ve been messing up a lot this cycle tbh and really need to get the assignments out so people can be informed before narrowing down to one school. Not to mention there are also people waiting on alternate list movement 😭
They gotta be testing us.. but honestly definitely have something to do with the new Savannah campus.
Oh man, it sucks for us right now, but I can't image the fiasco that the waitlisted folks will face. We have less than 3 months before the first day of school
I know right I’m hanging on by a thread right now. Fingers crossed this all gets sorted out by April 30. If not, idk what will happen 😩Oh man, it sucks for us right now, but I can't image the fiasco that the waitlisted folks will face. We have less than 3 months before the first day of school
I feel like they won’t move people off the WL until they have campus assignments sorted out & if that isn’t sorted by 04/30 they risk a lot of people going to other schools & if they delay notifying WL people then they risk WL people planning to go to other schools. I myself am on the WL for 2 schools & if I get off of the WL at both schools I’m not going to commit to a school that can’t tell me where I’ll be going or what my financial aid is with so little time to prepare.
Exactly, they don’t have any competition for in state tuition which gives them so much advantage (versus the other school I’m WL at that has like 5 public med schools in the state, so they’re already going through their WL).
Nah from what I've heard, prematriculation programs barely make a dent in giving you any kind of head start. After a short time, you're back at square one with everybody else. You learn the same things anyway whether you participate or not.
I called on Tuesday and was told that they still have no exact date as to when all campus assignments will go out. Idk whats causing the holdup.
That’s so frustrating, I’m sorry to all the A people who are going through thisI called on Tuesday and was told that they still have no exact date as to when all campus assignments will go out. Idk whats causing the holdup.
because once accepted students commit (or withdraw from MCG), MCG knows how many seats they have open. Thus, theyy can start filling them up thru WL students
April 30th is the deadline so they will officially know after that how many seats to fill basically
wow i hope they get the assignments out soon then jeez this is insane
Yess hopefully. We need some waitlist movement!! Lol
I did not, but what is that?
I did smh. I’m not interested because I have an A somewhere else. But I want MCG! I’m honestly trying to figure out the right way to reject the offer and say I just want to be accepted directly. Because waiting another year to matriculate would be insane lol.
What did they say in the email? Aqua life can you say too? Anybody else get it?
“There are times during this process in which the admissions committee identifies applicants who fit the mission of MCG but may benefit from additional academic preparation prior to matriculating to medical school.
Ah thank you!
I don’t think you are off the WL until they officially tell you that usually right before classes begin. At least that’s what it seems like from past years sdn threads. What was the deadline to accept the offer for the program?
