How about this: if I see something I will post it daily (excluding weekends).
Deal?

@gyngyn thanks for your help during this process. are you able to say if there is a sizable number of applicants still holding more than one acceptance?

I must say that right now the most anyone is holding is two.
Most have reduced to one.

Are you going to post a list of all the schools that moved that day or all the schools that started moving on that day.

VCU seems to have had pretty good waitlist movement in the past two weeks based on the activity in the thread!

Yes, I did see that original announcment by gyngyn yesterday. I was more interested if gyngyn had overlap with VCU bc in an earlier post it sounded like gyngyn didn't have much overlap w/ EVMS. Thought maybe there might not be overlap w/ VCU as well.

Possible, but not likely. Per SDN thread, there have been 13 WL acceptances since 4/1 (9 OOS, 4 IS). I am guessing you are in-state so I hope the winds of good fortune blow your way soon!

The VCU OOS WL tends to have much more movement than IS. Hoping it works out for you!!

Thanks, @gyngyn! There are no new posts in the Miami thread today about getting off the waitlist, so it's nice to know they're still happening. I really hope I'm next!

After sitting on 4 waitlists for months, I was accepted off a WL about a week ago. Today I was poached by another school. Lo and behold, within one hour of said poaching my first acceptance offered a 20k/year scholarship. What a strange game we are playing.

It was USF Morsani, and I'm quite excited about it. Very close to family and Tampa is awesome.

you just never can tell with him, can you?

I think I want to go to the poacher school, how do I go about politely asking if they might match the FA from my other offer?

Call them. Tell them that you're incredibly interested in their school, but this schools financial aid package is making it difficult for you to say yes to them. Ask if there's anything else they can do to help or if there are any scholarships etc that you might qualify for.

No. I actually hate @FindMeOnTheLinks , which is why I convinced him to come out to drinks with me when we hung out at Jeff.

As a side note: Dude that was a hilarious night. I still can't believe those girls shared their food with us. I had a good laugh about that right now just thinking about it.

Same here 3 WL, 2 HFS, and 1 no communication at all! I'm at work right now in the ER and that's not even enough of a distraction.

Hahahahaha yes, that was the most fun I've had on a trip for an interview. Cheers to St. Patrick's Day in Philly!
 
man waitlist sucks :(. would emailing any of my interviewers and explaining my situation help at all? im getting to a point of desperation
 
I sent a letter of intent to my waitlisted school back in February, is there any use reminding them again (just a quick paragraph about the school being first choice) or would that also be the equivalent of stalking?

I think you know.
It's still not as bad as emailing an interviewer, though.

You're a great wingman. Didn't get the girl, but I got hella wings.

Worth it!

Hope Jeff sends you some love too!
 
Anyone know if Florida State has had any movement? Their classes start in less than 3 weeks. :nailbiting:

I'm well aware. I'm not sure it would have worked logistically given that I was crashing in my little sister's dorm lol!
 
Any movement at MUSC? The threads are all but quiet. *sigh*
 
With respect to the slow waitlist movement at many places, couldn't another explanation besides financial aid delays also be that schools happened to need the waitlist less this year than normal? Or do waitlists move the same amount every year?

That's a gloomy thought.

Seems unlikely that the number of multiply-accepteds would drastically change this year, though.
 
Hi everyone I'm new to the group!!

Officially nervous after getting 5 II: 4 MD waitlists & hearing back next week from the only DO school I applied (it's a great DO program, I'll be happy to get an acceptance there, however it isn't my top choice)

Stats:
GPA 3.7 ; MCAT: 27 - I thought my extracurriculars would make up for the low mcat (I own a medical business, did research, founded a pre health student org, have 2 BA's (Chemistry & non-science degree), etc. I did however, applied late (oct 2014).

Wishing everyone nothing but success and good news from the schools you're currently WL at, and glad to join the group & support each other during this nerve-wreaking cycle moment. <3

How would you interpret yet another non-binding contract from a desperate applicant???

Hi guys,

I'm on the waitlist at three schools, none of which seem to have much movement and probably wont by the end of this cycle. I'm already thinking about the reapplication process, there's a lot of things I want to change on my application. As a re applicant, is it necessary to get your application in the day that the AMCAS opens? Basically, when should I get everything prepared by?
