***Official Thread for 2016 BSMD applicants***

“Your application is currently under review by your academic department. You should receive an admission decision within six weeks.” Yeah not to sure when to expect it but apparently they send out notifications until the end of January.

UAB had rejections on their website portal they have an e mail box created was posted 12/31. No direct communications.

Penn state interview invites goes until end of month

Anyone who has given RPI/Albany interview or knows from past posts after the medical school interview is their decision rolling or they notify everyone at one day?

Anyone know when the next round of RPI notices are coming?

I am still waiting for PSU as well…I hope waiting this long isn’t a bad sign.

@ljames6 what does your portal say?

PSU called out school councilor (emailed too) and said we did not do Honors application. I was thinking it was optinal. can someone confirm please.

@WaitingtoKnow i did not apply for honors program and that did not impact my BS/MD application

Just got off phone with PSU admissions counselor she said that from what she understood, all PSU/Jefferson interview emails were sent out last week. No email would have been sent if you were not chosen past the interview round. Pretty disappointing. She said if you haven’t heard a regular decision though that as long as you applied by nov 30 you will hear by Jan 31st, which was already known.

@mannysidz That is disappointing. When I had called they said they will look at it till end of Jan, Oh well!

PSU without 7 year combined program would be a consideration for In-State only as they don’t give any merit scholarships.

“Your application is currently under review. We have received everything required to complete your application. Once a decision is made, it will be posted here.”

just got back from Union Albany Interview, they said acceptances will be in two waves again this year

@YaAbbas786 that’s what my portal says as well

@mannysidz I thought they were closed today… thats odd

How come PSUs program is not even with their own med school?

At the time of founding of the five year program of pen state jefferson (way in past )
There was no Hershey or Pennsylvania med school
Obviously time has chnages with five is now seven and there is now Hershey med school

@APScholar18 because the program was started before they had their own med school

@APScholar18 Your application is currently under review by your academic department. You should receive an admission decision within six weeks.
Yeah they said they’d evaluate through end of January. Annoying how some programs don’t send rejections.
