Announcements
February 14, 2008- Release Dates
March 3 is the single release date for acceptances for both the Phoenix and Tucson campuses. All accepted applicants will be notified by e-mail and by letter. March 12 is the single release date for alternate list notification and all applicants will be notified by e-mail. Denial notices will be e-mailed on March 12.
October 4, 2007- Interviews
As an applicant to The University of Arizona College of Medicine, your file will be independently reviewed by a Phoenix and a Tucson admissions committee. All applicants must complete two interviews. Invitations are offered independently by the respective campuses. However, in the event an invitation to interview is not extended by one campus, a community physician will provide the second required interview. If you are an applicant living out-of-state, there is a strong chance you will interview, on separate days, at both campuses, located 120 miles apart. Please plan accordingly.
September 9, 2007- Letters of recommendation
2008 applicants please note: If your letters of recommendation are being submitted to the Admissions Office via VirtualEvals or Interfolio it is NOT NECESSARY to attach the blue "instructions for writing the letter of recommendation" sheets, which are included in the supplementary materials packet. The blue sheets need only be attached to letters of recommendation which are being sent to the Admissions Office directly from the letter writer.
July 9, 2007- Screening of applicants
With the growth of the applicant pool and the expansion of our program in Phoenix, The University of Arizona College of Medicine is instituting a screening process for all applicants. We will consider only applicants with a total MCAT score of 21 or higher. Applicants who fall below this standard, will be immediately informed of their status upon receipt of the AMCAS application by our office and will be encouraged to retake the MCAT up to September 11, 2007. For applicants who meet this standard, additional screening criteria specific to the Tucson and Phoenix campuses may be used. |
