If you don’t have a solid reason to want to change from your current DO acceptance to your WL school, there is no need to send a LOI to the WL school
Ok, I appreciate for the answer!
Dunno but that's what I'm doing
Oh got it. That makes sense. Thank you!
Can schools see that you have PTE'd by then or no, not where to or anything, but can they see at all that you've pte'd somewhere
Yeah that's basically what I was wanting to know lmao
Yeah that's why I reset my plan to enroll thing in case that were the case, but if they can't even see that it doesn't matter ig
Me 2. I was also low key hoping I'd get better aid offers if I didn't have PTE selected, but I guess they just get aggregate numbers lol.
Same wavelength big bro
most of my WL are from TMDSAS and I think all they can see is that I didn't match but there's a period after may 15 that is reserved for only people that didn't match so i'm scared it'll bite me in my ass if they're like hm maybe we'll offer him in that period rather than may 1-15 (if this even makes sense at all lol) but my CTE is may 15 unfortunately so I won't even be able to take part in that
We'll see
Does that mean if PTE date for a particular school that I have acceptance at is later in May shall I hold off putting it as PTE to be able to get off waitlist at my top choice. What I also have heard is the schools take candidates who have no acceptance more so towards the end of their cycle vs right after April 30th. I am very confused if I should PTE on April 30th or wait till it’s actually needed by the school I’m accepted at.
If you select PTE you can stay on your WLs.
Not every applicant wants to share publicly here or on reddit. Be grateful and supportive of those who do.
I didn't mean to come across as unappreciative - I apologize if it came out that way. I even wrote "for everyone who appreciates the specific TX info". Of course, SDN reporting is a blessing, and not a mandatory thing. I know a lot of people are on edge, so I wanted to make my contribution with a small summary of me reading other threads in case anyone wanted to know. Overall, I am incredibly grateful and blessed to have the situation that I do. I am sorry that you thought otherwise.
Thank you. I had initially written a LOI to my top choice in march with updates as well.after I was waitlisted initially. Would writing another LOI be of any use or just redundant at this time and would look more obsessive? My reading from other sources is to just be patient at this time. And sit tight.
Depending on the school, you can just check-in. But otherwise, you just have to trust the process.
hopefully high, because i'm here with my fingers and toes crossed...
SAME lol, but is there a statistic or anyhting to make me feel better haha
Could be worse tbh, I'm 29 going on 30, 2 Master's degrees took the MCAT 4 times and on 2 Waitlists 😂 Prayers up to you and everyone on here!
Honestly, if all you need to do is write, I don't think you need to quit your job for that. I worked full-time this past year as well. I just made sure that when I had any downtime, I worked on my applications. Also, after work I would have an hour or two of time to write per day and I would put my phone or all other distractions away from me - usually in like a coffee shop or somewhere I was not tempted to turn the TV on. Just my opinion though, the job market is tough rn - might be difficult to find work afterwards
You will get off the WL I’m sure this cycle. Stay positive.
Isn’t that expectation against the AAMC rules
An individual school can set their own commitment deadlines. This deadline of May 1 mentioned by the other poster is not earlier than the AAMC deadline, and furthermore AACOMAS schools are not bound by AAMC decision rules. If they wish a student to withdraw from all other schools to commit, they can ask for that. The student is the one who needs to decide how strongly they wish to attend the school giving this deadline for commitment.
My question is how does the DO school know which MD schools I’m on the waitlist for
I don't think that that's what @wysdoc is saying
This has been answered several times in your other thread. The crux now is - do you want to attend this DO school, or will you take the risk to wait another 4-6 weeks on your MD waitlists?
Hi there--I think this still fits within the general frame of the overall WL support thread, so I have merged your thread with the existing one
