2023-2024 A.T. Still University (Mesa, Arizona) ATSU-SOMA

[DrWoow]

I just received an invitation for an in person interview. I have already paid my deposit at PNW and RVU Utah. And words of advice? I have no ties to any of these areas.

Do you mind sharing your stats? still waiting to hear from PNW

Withdrew my interview here as they mentioned (very nicely) that they are currently only interviewing for waitlist positions.

 

[HemeOncology]

Lol, just saw this in my inbox: OOS II, but I'm almost an M2. Applied last minuted last year before getting accepted from my current school. Couldn't get a refund from AACOMAS so I just left it as is.

If anyone needs: primary submitted end of May/early June, secondary submitted a day after released.

my interview invite email didn’t mention anything about them only interviewing for waitlist rn so i’m debating if it’s worth it to fly all the way out for it if it really is just for the waitlist.

II today, will be declining. They said in a separate email that the class is filled and they're only interviewing for a WL

If this is one of the few opportunities for an A, I would still go for it. I was accepted off the alternate waitlist 10 days before orientation!

[wewillbegreat04]

Did anyone make an accepted group me?

 

[Panchobi]

Got the II today, but with the extra email saying it was for a position on the waitlist. I was hoping they still did video interviews. 😅

 

[banana683938]

Has anyone who interviewed 04/08 heard anything back yet?

 

[DrWoow]

At this point mid April, are there anymore interview invites to any of the DO schools for a real spot?

Has anyone who interviewed last week heard anything back?

 

[premedstudent929]

Has anyone who interviewed 4/8 heard anything??

 

[banana683938]

Has anyone who interviewed 4/8 heard anything??

I interviewed 4/8 and am still waiting to hear back too! I emailed them on Thursday and they said they met with the committee that week and were waiting on final decisions from the dean. Hopefully we'll hear back soon!

 

[potatopahtatoh]

Has anyone who interviewed last week heard anything back?

I have not yet! but they said 2-4 weeks if I remember correctly, so fingers crossed we hear good news soon!

 

[banana683938]

Has anyone who interviewed recently heard anything yet?

 

[christmaschuree]

Does anyone know if ATSU SOMA has mandatory lecture attendance??

 

[YellowBetsyRocks]

Has anyone received a financial package yet?

 

[RIS17]

Does anyone know if ATSU SOMA has mandatory lecture attendance??

Yes, they have mandatory problem-based learning (PBL) sessions 5 days a week at 8 am. I think its a couple hours long. There are no traditional lectures though. From my understanding, their attendance policy is pretty strict. I think you are allowed up to 3 unexcused absences for the year, and after that, each absence removes 2% from your overall grade.

Thank you!! Oh man that’s too much hahhh

 

[jpremed]

Can anyone speak about simulation lab? Also, a bit more on PBL and how that translates into learning for boards and in-house exams?

I emailed them again on Tuesday, 05/07 (hope they aren't annoyed with me hahah), but they said that they still haven't finalized decisions for my interview day (04/08). They informed me that getting everyone together including the Dean available for X amount of time has been challenging. They met yesterday afternoon again and hoped to get through the remainder of the 04/08 date. Hopefully, we get a response this week. Fingers crossed everyone!!

[soontobedr1]

Does anyone know how much waitlist movement they usually have? Also got APS call today interviewed 4/8

 

[NonTradMedSchoolApplicant]

Anyone from 4/8 hear anything?

 

[Spudmanthethird]

Has anyone who interviewed on 4/22 heard anything yet?

 

[Aggieh12]

I interviewed on 4/8 and got the APS call this morning

 

[Spudmanthethird]

Interview 4/22 and got the APS call!

 

[potatopahtatoh]

Hi, did anyone else who got the APS call yesterday get an email today that says they're on the waitlist? The wording of the email makes me think the waitlist is the same thing as APS, but I'm a bit worried since as far I was aware, I thought APS was different from the waitlist, while the waitlist was known as the Alternate list (?)

They only have one "waitlist" APS is the same as waitlist.

 

[premed1800]

^ i called this morning to confirm, and they let me know that “waitlist” and “APS” are the same!

Thank you! that makes sense
