For those of you on the WL, does your letter say this?
"your application was evaluated as highly competitive"
"we will give first consideration in the event openings occur in the coming months"

wondering if this is their standard letter? haven't seen any post-interview R's here...

Standard. But they have a lot of WL movement. Good luck!

In general. I also assume a lot of people will withdraw though.

I’m in the position now where I hope people currently accepted here get into Harvard and the likes so they can withdraw, and I can get off the waitlist.

Sorry if this has been asked before— Does this school do silent rejections?

Edit: Never mind, they don’t, they send pre II rejection emails

also rejected pre-ii this morning. i guess at this point i was expecting it, but i’m pretty devastated. I got two degrees there with a very good gpa, spent hundreds of hours volunteering for them and working at the associated hospitals, very involved in the community, and my serious significant other is a second year there. just don’t know what more they want honestly :(

it may be that because a large portion of the class is from the PLME so they don’t want more people who went there for undergrad. Who knows :/ sorry to hear you’re in a similar situation!

Damn you brown you messed up my two weeks of balance. I had the same amount of Pre-II rejections as I had IIs.
Thanos would be disappointed.

Log in to SSB (homepage), click the Fin Aid tab, click medical student, click requirements, then look at the right side of the screen where your name is, it's the B-number.

Anyone who interviewed recently remember them giving a day the decision would be on? Seems like most have been Mondays, is it always on Mondays?

I think to some extent it depends on when you interviewed. I interviewed early February and they said it would be next Monday. They’re very nice so if you don’t remember what they said on your day I’m sure you could call or email to ask. Good luck!

Thanks I think it's the same day. I thought I remembered them saying Thursday (as in today) but I guess I imagined it.

The waitlist actually starts to move sometime in mid-March and then until May. After most students currently holding acceptances get into schools like Harvard, Columbia, etc. they give up their spot here and the adcom looks to the waitlist. There were several reported acceptances last year in March from the WL, and I have a friend who personally was one of those people after being waitlisted in November last cycle. I'm crossing my fingers that it's me this year.

Just a thought to people who are currently holding acceptances here who have no intention of attending: please, please, for the love of all things holy and medical, rescind your acceptances so the waitlist can keep moving. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. Mic drop.

Tried to withdraw but they encouraged me to stay on until at least second look /financial offers. In general I assume that there will be a lot of movement after that

First of all, congratulations to you both! Secondly, based on the last few posts then, it looks like we may not see waitlist movement until after second look weekend.
