Where are you on the waiting list? Last round a lot of people from the list made it. I was on the waiting list last round and I went from #22 to #5 so 17 people got in.
This is some info from the last round. Not sure if it will be the same or not. Classes were mon 8:30-12, tue/thur 8:30-2, wed 8:30-2:30 (except clinical days which were wed from 6:30 am-12:30.
