When do you guys think the waitlist will really start moving?

They already accepted people off the waitlist on Thursday so not sure when the next batch will be. Hopefully soon tho

Did you just upload it or email it to admissions too?

I just uploaded it

Best of luck this week everyone!

Happy for y’all getting T1 waitlists, but man, as a T3, my hope is running low for this school, lol.

 

[stater123]

Does anyone know how many people are usually on the 1st tier waitlist and how many end up getting accepted?

100 people per tier. How many get pulled off depends on how many people withdraw their spots. Pre-COVID was almost 100%. Last year not near as many from tier 1 got off

I’m honestly losing hope as a T1 😔

Me too. It seems ridiculous that 100 people would withdraw their applications.

Me too. It seems ridiculous that 100 people would withdraw their applications.

With an incoming class of a bit over 300 people, you'd be surprised. Medical schools (especially DO schools) can have incredible WL movement. There have been times in the past where MSUCOM accepted 5 people from T3, which means that 200 people either withdrew their A or withdrew from the WL. Withdrawing an acceptance isn't the only way for you to get closer to an A, people that are on the WL may receive an offer from a different school and withdraw their WL offer.

Don’t lose hope just yet! This weekend was the time when MD applicants had to choose 1 acceptance to keep. It seems like early May is a time for a lot of allopathic WL movement, which could impact osteopathic WL movement. For example, someone from MSUCOM is accepted to an MD school and accepts that offer, thereby creating an opening to be filled by a WL candidate.

Especially since in the previous years at this time they would be at T2..

Oh I see. Thank you guys I feel better about my chances now. 😁

Yeah I agree, except the only issue is that MD waitlist goes into the summer and classss for MSUcom start soon.

 

[Hopefuldoc7496]

I don’t wanna be TOO hopeful but it does seem like because they interviewed so late in the cycle and added people to T1 WL this past week might mean they are anticipating more room for acceptances

 

[Quarantini]

Yes... what are people's thoughts on how to handle this issue?

 

[D Swiecz]

I think that's a really good point. If they didn't expect WL movement, they'd just throw R's at people.

I wish they had a tracker or something bc the anxiety is real 😭

 

[Hopefuldoc7496]

On the bright side it seems like central Michigan’s WL movement started 😊

Are you waitlisted there as well?

 

[Ozymandias D.O]

Are you waitlisted there as well?

Idk about OP's case but I guarantee CMU takes students away from MSUCOM as some people really want the MD>DO

I’ll be happy with whoever steals me first lol

 

[Hopefuldoc7496]

Nah jusr MSUCOM! But definitely hoping this makes room for us on the WL

 

[stater123]

Let’s get this movement startedddd

 

[Arthur Morgan]

This was hard, but last week I withdrew my acceptance from MSUCOM. Regardless of it being a DO school, I got the best impression of them out of all my interviews, and I hope that one of you benefits from this.

I was at EL by the way.

 

[FutureSingingDoctor]

Gave up my position on the T1 WL yesterday, hope it gets to the rest you guys faster!! Good luck!!

 

[Patientistearful]

I am waitlist at MSUCOM and CMU. Hopefully movement begins for both soon!!

 

[hellodarknessmyoldfriend]

Will be withdrawing my T1 spot from the waitlist. It’s been a long and tough cycle for many of us, so I wish you all the best of luck on your journey ❤️

 

[DrSeashell]

Will be withdrawing my sought after T3 waitlist spot. Just got my first acceptance to an in state MD school

 

[LeDoc 23]

Are you headed elsewhere?

 

[hellodarknessmyoldfriend]

Are you headed elsewhere?

Yeah I was accepted to an instate MD earlier today!

 

[DrSeashell]

Yeah I was accepted to an instate MD earlier today!

MSU-CHM?

 

[hellodarknessmyoldfriend]

MSU-CHM?

CMU!

 

[premed3i]

can any accepted students confirm whether or not it actually takes a few weeks to receive your PID from admissions in order to create an MSU email?

 

[Curiousparent]

CMU!

Congratulations. Good luck. May I ask your stats?

 

[Patientistearful]

so nothing today...

 

[LeDoc 23]

Anyone else reload the new AACOM application already? :,)

 

[squirreljules11]

yes it does

 

[aspiringphysician28]

Anyone else reload the new AACOM application already? :,)

& AMCAS app & schedule new CASPER & possibly retake the MCAT & sign up for new research & join a new non-profit... lol joking but you’re not alone

 

[Ozymandias D.O]

alright party people lets hope for WL movement two Thursdays in a row!

 

[Hopefuldoc7496]

Crossing my fingers for today!! GL

 

[DocAl]

Probably no movement today then . . .

 

[canislupus97]

Yeah no movement today. Disappointing Honestly. What is MSUCOM up to??????

 

[hn_23]

Do you guys think there’s gonna be a ton of movement after May 15 due to people holding multiple acceptances? I’m T1 and freaking out over this lack of waitlist movement

 

[canislupus97]

I really hope so, cause Id need to find an apartment and whatnot if i get off the T1 like you.

I hope and think so that there will be movement from now till their session starts. Putting an statement in the T1 WL letter that they are optimistic is a big thing in my opinion. I hope I am not wrong in this!!

Do they put that every year?

wow SDN really is NOT representative if there has been movement and you are the only person who posted about it Congrats dude!!

 

[D Swiecz]

It's really strange that they didn't call. I wonder if they just plan on emails moving forward or if calls will only happen on big movement days. It doesn't seem like there's a clear answer on previous forums.

Do you plan to attend?
