ToppDog Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Yes, some people don't read the directions before applying & don't qualify, & that does benefit the rest of us. But, MEDEX also does not settle for anyone, & they will open up more interview sessions & extend dates out until they get the applicants they want, even if it's the week before classes start. So, if you get in, it's because you were fully qualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistercire Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 It looks like the MEDEX application is still open. Is this making anyone else a little anxious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracie A. Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 No, I don't think that makes me more or less anxious. Although - it might be a little tough to be more anxious :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerlily Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 mistercire: My initial reaction was to become quite nervous about this situation. However, it was stated that they had "more" applications than usual. I would assume that if the only change was that they had more applicants this year, that they would not extend the deadline, unless they had mostly ineligible applicants in their current pool. Although a significant shift in the typical proportion of qualified/non-qualified is possible, it is not likely. My hopes are high on the Tacoma site opening.

ToppDog Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I received an email from Mariah yesterday saying they had only just now received my application (submitted 28Aug12), which sort of confirms my thought that the extension was probably due to CASPA running behind, & not so much because MEDEX was being bombarded with a whole lot more applicants than usual. This is good news in a way. With Tacoma more or less confirmed as a new site, there will be an extra 25-30 spots to fill this year, so your odds are slightly better than usual, especially if you had your app in by the early or normal deadlines.

uscbigdawg Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Agreed. CASPA had my application at September 27th and just yesterday verified it and it's been mailed out today. So...it appears that they're just playing catch-up and put the word out to schools. I know there are a lot of unqualified applications going out this year in talking with some of my classmates. I don't understand why you'd apply to a program when you haven't completed it's mandatory prerequisites. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
