Hey Trailhead,
Seems that you've been interviewed. Have you heard back from them yet? I've interviewed recently, and wonder when I'll hear back.
Also, do you know what the trends are? How often do the committee meet?? For those interviewed in March...

Sackler's definitely #1, hope I get in soon. The interview was nice and easy. It wasn't my best day, but it felt like I left a positive impression. Good luck with your interview!!!
Out of curiosity, has the recent escalation of tension between Israel and Iran given anyone pause in attending Sackler? Personally, I think it's just inflamed rhetoric and that the conflict will be avoided. But, when I tell any friends/family about possibly leaving for Israel for medical school, the first response always alludes to an impending war.
Thanks! And good luck to you as well! Hopefully August finds us all arriving in Tel Aviv

Any word from sackler grads or students about my previous question? (page 2). Also, How much clinical do u get to do in the first 2 years. I heard from my buddy whos a first year that only 2 ppl didnt match out of 60 so thats pretty good..... FYI
are u accepted?anyone want to start a facebook group? i tried to but it says I need to invite at least one other person.
I have an interview scheduled for next week, it will be my 1st interview for any school. What questions can I expect? I really have no idea what I will be asked, or what I should ask. Any advice?
Sorry to Hijack your thread guys. Didn't want to start an entire new one.
I'm staying in TA this Summer (elective in July) and was looking for a sublet near Tel Aviv Medical Center.
Looking for:
1-2 bedrooms.
Furnished.
Parking +/-
Figured someone from Sackler is planning to be State side this Summer.
Thanks!
If you guys use an online housing bulletin board I would be grateful if you could direct me to it..
I called the office last Friday, and they said the committee is meeting on April 12th. Wait listed students will be notified by email, accepted and rejected students will be notified by snail mail.
Good luck to you all. Hope to see you next year!
I forwarded this post to a friend at Sackler who said he posted it in their group... hopefully if anyone has something available they'll be in touch.
Anybody have any idea when we should expect to hear back? Anybody get waitlist emails yet?
Hi, I called them towards the end of March and they said the committee was meeting on the 12th of April. I also thought the timing was odd. Anyway, I called them again this past Monday and they said that they had moved the meeting to this Thursday April 19th, and that it takes 1-2 weeks to hear by snail mail. They mail decisions on the Friday and Monday after the meeting.
Best of luck!
A question for current students and others capable of commenting...
I know this has been brought up before (and I really don't intend to beat a dead horse), but with the significant increase in American med students (both MD and DO) and the current cap on available residency spots, where does that realistically place the Sackler grad come 2015 or 2016 and beyond? I realize there has been a lot of speculation, but some projections figure the ratio of US grads to residency positions to be close to 1:1 in the next four to five years. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Might not be as much of an issue for Sackler due to this:
Tel Aviv University Sackler School of Medicine New York State/American Program is chartered by the Regents of the University of the State of New York. This program is one of only two in the world recognized outside of the United States that is registered by the University of the State of New York/State Education Department. Graduates of the American program at Sackler School of Medicine are not treated as foreign graduates for licensure in New York, but are only required to meet the same requirements as graduates of medical schools located in New York.
It is also well known and likely has a far greater reputation than other schools such as those in the Caribbean. Sackler is likely one of the very top places graduating IMGs so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Those going to other places should be the ones to feel the squeeze first.
Out of curiosity, do you know what the other school recognized by the State of New York is?
Alright, now that the committee met I hope we hear good news soon. I remember reading somewhere that certain decisions are sent via snail mail while others in email. Was it refection and acceptances in snail, and wait listed in email? or some other arrangement??
jf1987, was it immediately after the meeting or at approx the same time as snail mail would arrive?
I got WL back in February
3.4, 31
Welcome to the club brah.
When I talked to them they said they aren't looking at WLed people again until May or June.
FML!!! Wait until May or June? Wouldn't people first put on the waitlist be the first taken off? Now I need to start the re-application process for US schools, this is great news!
Has anybody received emails for the WL from the latest round of admissions?? It's looking like our sample size on SDN is painfully small =P
