Thank you for your response! Do you know where you heard this from? I’m trying to learn more about the new curriculum but all I can find is that it’s going to shift to 1.5 pre-clinical years. I want to know if they’ll still keep non-mandatory/recorded lectures etc.

I am about 99% sure they said this during the (at least my) interview session. Non-mandatory/recorded lectures are a huge part of their academic model, so I would have a hard time imagining they do away with it.

Interesting. The reason i wasn’t sure is because at my students Q&A I remember one of the hosting students saying she thinks they’re going to change that so a con would be that the curriculum won’t be as flexible. I guess i’ll just have to wait and see. Thank you so much for your response though!!!

Oh man, if a student said that, maybe. If you find out for sure please share 😭

Anyone know when the next wave of As might be?

 

[Labe]

Anyone know when the next wave of As might be?

Second wave of decisions is usually 5 weeks after the first so most likely around (or even exactly on) 2/23

 

[meg24869]

Has an accepted students group been made yet?

 

[toastingpasta]

Is there no more 'summer break' time given for people who want to do research after M1 at Sinai?

 

[sugurumed]

II just now - complete in July. LM 68. Can’t believe it. Will take any and all advice.

We thinking there's a chance for the next wave of decisions this Friday or can I sleep peacefully for 1 more week

I would love to cope with you, but I think if we weren’t in this mini II wave then it’s over

Last year I think Feb. decisions came out 4 weeks after the Jan. wave so there might be a chance. I'm betting it'll be next Friday though

I think what they were talking about is the take home exams. Previously the exams would be available over the weekend and at home. With the new curriculum and the NBME style exams, the exams will be in person on fridays I believe.

That kind of sucks. When I was applying flexmed they advertised the take home weekend exams so much. I would find it a bit annoying to be admitted 2-3 years ago and entering this year to find out that's all gone. Of course that doesn't concern us regular applicants as much

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

Anyone else from the continued review in Jan wondering chances we’ll hear back this month v March or later

Wow that sucks, I really liked the take home exam concept. Do you know who you heard this from, I wish they would just drop us the curriculum already, I feel like we should know it by now.

They talked about it during my interview.
They will keep the at home quizzes, but exams will be in person since it is NBME style now.

I see, thank you for letting us know!!

 

[oatmilkplease]

By this point last year there were several massive R waves. Weird

 

[thatmeticulouschick]

!! MSTP A

 

[Eazyeden]

Hey people that have been accepted, when were your interviews? (and congratulations on the A!)

 

[Chuweo]

are we expecting anything today… or should i try to relax for another week 🥲

 

[RedFrog]

are we expecting anything today… or should i try to relax for another week 🥲

should be next Thu or Fri I guess.

Missed this earlier in the day, but second round is usually 5 weeks after the first one which would put it at next friday

yeah it seems like it someone posted that last year decisions came out on the 17th so i was hoping we’d hear back today

 

[Macrobe]

For those who got As did ya’ll send letters of interest/intent? Unsure how much this school values interest. Thanks and congrats

I was not accepted but they said you will most likely have submitted an interest letter or more if you are accepted

 

[ChocolateCookieCake]

Are there still chances of an II here or are we cooked y’all? 🥲

 

[z123456789]

I think if they wanted to reject by now they could've done it pretty easily especially since since they had many R waves by now in last year! might still be possible... holding out hope!

I was accepted with no LOI (interest or intent), no update letter either

I sent a letter of interest pre-ii. I was told by a current student that they seem to like them, especially after cont. review

 

[biscuit28]

This is silly and probably unlikely but Im so hoping they give some As to the CR folks tomorrow 😭

a lot of people who get deferred in Jan get in during the Feb wave, it's not unlikely!

really?? I saw none last year😭 and maybe one the year before that. But that’s just SDN so I hope it’s just not representative

I thought a current student said there were plenty in past years, I could be trippin or just have too much hope but I'm not counting myself out just yet

hmmm well we’ll go with that and stay hopeful

 

[ligma]

Do we know what time tomorrow

 

[aspiringfuturedocpls]

Can someone verify?
I guess it all depends on how many students they accept that interviewed after Jan decisions + how many acceptance spots they have left / how many students received CR. They might focus on priority As still and offer some CR As now, but then revisit for their final A batch based on all the CR in March? I guess only time will tell

 

[spicy_lemon76]

Do we know what time tomorrow

do we think people will hear something today? i had mid jan interview

 

[dihedralsymmetry]

do we think people will hear something today? i had mid jan interview

It will likely be today (always on Friday 5 weeks after Jan wave). Historically 4-5 PM but the Jan wave was at 9:30-10 PM. It'll probably be acceptances to people who they didn't review in time for the Jan wave (like you!!) + some people who got CR in the Jan wave based on previous threads.

 

[topspin_tadpole]

CR just now, interviewed mid-January

 

[blueberrysky4]

CR too
