Well said, I have already indicated on my AACOMAS what I'll be doing in my gap year. I've had clinical exposure and research previously, those few months I haven't accomplished anything significant, but I still take your point I should mention it anyways even if the chances are slim with how late we are in the cycle
Unfortunately no. Checked the WVSOM portal too, it's just a vague description of being placed on hold and to send in any updates on the application. I'll try calling them or emailing someone from admin to see if they can clarify. Congrats with the acceptance, thanks for the help!
My guess is as good as yours. Generally speaking, with being this far into the cycle, we'd be competing for spots on the waitlist, but I don't know if their defer policy is genuinely keeping your app in mind or just a soft R.
