I got an email around 3. No call yet. Interviewed 3/3; first tier wl end of March. IS. Non trad.

So I reckon first people from WL to be accepted will be mainly IS, right?

I am wondering the same. Have any Canadians from the WL recently got in?

Pretty certain no Canadian has gotten off the WL yet. I’m not sure if canadians have a separate WL or if everybody’s just on the main WL.

From the past two yrs, the first Canadian candidates seem to be the 5th account ish (usually the second week of wl movement) to get off the wl. (from sdn thread)

In 2021, 14 accounts reported getting off the waitlist before the mass rejection email. In 2022, 19 accounts reported getting off the waitlist before the mass rejection email. However anecdotally I personally know someone still got in around class stating time.

Are international students placed in the same pool as Canadians?

 

[131131131]

Are international students placed in the same pool as Canadians?

From my observation, I think everyone is on the same list. They likely assign a score for IS/OOS/international status. They also weigh your stats and ECs and generate a comprehensive rank—just my whims. I don’t personally know anyone international, not Canadian there. International, not Canadian ( I recently am in this category), usually is a tiny number of candidates. I imagine it might just be the same as non-US. From matching records, it seems about 20 international students matriculate per yr. Please refer to the “specialty competitive guide” from 2021. They have a breakdown of matching records. They also indicated international/military/SOAP.

Now I just went over the newest version of the specialty competitiveness guide. I think they keep the 20 international spots every year. So likely, an international spot will only open up if an international acceptance gives up their spot.

Was really hoping to see more waitlist movement today anybody know when WL movement stops?

 

[mercedesbenzaldehyde]

They’re probably waiting for may 15th (Monday) to release more offers.

Why is that?

 

[drthedude]

Why is that?

People with multiple A’s have to withdraw from all schools but one before may 15 as per AACOMAS

Here's a link to read about that: AACOMAS Traffic Guidelines

If you are holding several admissions, try to commit by May 15th to ONE.
Read the link for details about what schools wlll know on May 15th and what they can do

I am OOS and was accepted off of the waitlist on 5/10 as well

 

[tomyumsoup]

Apart from the forms in the portal, is there anywhere else (like AACOMAS) that I'm supposed to confirm the medical school I'm choosing?

Were u accepted off the MSUCOM waitlist?

 

[dazedandconfusedmedkid]

this might be a dumb q but how would one withdraw from this school?

Call or email I’m pretty certain

From my understanding AACOMAS doesn’t have anything additional (like how AMCAS has CYMS and “commit to enroll”) According to the AACOMAS traffic guidelines you just have to narrow down to one school by May 15th because if you’re holding multiple As it will be reported to the schools and you will risk having acceptances rescinded.

 

[math-wizo]

Any updates? Anybody speak to admissions recently? Seems like mass movement has started at other DO schools.

Haven’t heard anything, this waiting is so painful..But there were As being posted about until the end of May last year, so I am holding out hope for this week!

 

[brightskies]

Does it seem like MSUCOM is full already?

There was barely any movement last week considering activity here

Probably depends on overall app. You can scan all the threads and see similar stats.

Probably a question for the admissions office. Lyman seems really experienced and straightforward.

 

[dermdoc2027]

I declined my offer of admission today. Good luck everyone!

[dermdoc2027]

They are currently out of the office at the moment. I tried to contact them while I did a self tour these past couple of days and I wasn’t able to get a response due to that.

Thanks for letting us know, it feels kind of better to hear a possible explanation for the radio silence haha. Congrats on your As!

 

[math-wizo]

Somebody call the office tomorrow and ask when they’ll be back

 

[premed-pn]

I can’t believe there hasn’t been any more calls this week

 

[brightskies]

Maybe there’s some calls being made tomorrow (Friday)
