I called them today as well and was told of my place on the waitlist. I'm an out of stater.

Vincir said:Nope - called the office this morning and I'm still in the upper third. I didn't ask about movement, but there apparently was none the week before last. They at least received my letter of interest/intent and my boss's recommendation though. However, having seen the 2005 thread, I don't think I'm so surprised there hasn't been much news as of yet.

BasesofHumanity said:I actually printed it out last week and read it, instead of my microbio of course, but don't have the thing with me. I do remember only five or six people coming off of the waitlist, but then again about tweleve people formed the whole blog.
I know that not everyone uses SDN blogs, but I wish we could come up with a factor for how many actual students every SDN blogger represents. FOr instance, every one of us here could represent 20 actual applicants or so, but then in actuality it would never work because we are so different.
I have gone mad. Waitlists have that effect on me.

Vizsla said:...so im guessing its not really a lock to get pulled off if ure in the upper third since they will probably pull people off who fit the demographics of those applicants who have withdrawn their acceptances
C.P. Jones said:yea, i'm not too sure what to make of that. being a white oos male, this could work to my advantage, especially if most of the people on the waitlist are in-state, and most of the people declining acceptances are oos due to price/other acceptances....or maybe that's all wrong. oh well, i can't do anything about their procedures
LUBDUBB said:I was on the 2nd third of waitlist last year (interviewed sep, 3.52sci/3.52 overall, 30 Mcat, IN-State.) - tried everything to get in. I'm on 2nd third waitlist this year (interviewed in late Feb).
Just some thoughts from a 2nd time applicant: Searching thru piles and piles of prev threads on waitlist movement can give you some idea as to what happened last year, otherwise it's just abuse on your nerves. No reason in trying to understand the system, because it'll drive you even more crazy.
Some people will get two interviews, one waitlist, one acceptance. Others will end up on six waitlists (like I did last year) and not get in anywhere. Sit back, relax and wait for the pieces to fall into place. Best of Luck to you all.
LUBDUBB said:2Deg,
Congrats on your second child. As far as your situation, IMO, the applicant pool is so large that they do not have the time to logically deduce 'oh 2deg is not really interested, or else 2deg would have shown interest last year'.
LusuR said:Hello fellow potential eager eventual EVMSers.
Here's one for ya: If we are lucky enough to be pulled from the waitlist, when would the deposit be due and how much would it be? And has anybody found the EVMS acceptance thread from last year? I'd like to take a look and see when they started dipping into the waitlist.
Thanks and good luck to all!

UFO said:kevin_md,
Congratulations on getting in. Just wandering since you ended up not getting in last year and that's where it sounds like many of us are. What kind of things did you do, if anything to make your application better? Or was it pretty much the same application where you showed persistence by applying more than once? Thanks for your help and Congratulations again!

ghostchild said:It makes sense that the interviews have ended and everybody has been evaluated before having the preview weekend so they would know exactly who to invite. I would think that this thread might be used over the next few weeks as people begin to get pulled in off the waitlist to fill the remaining spots and any possible withdrawals. That was why I originally asked, I think it's about time to expect waitlist movement because probably nobody else remains to be evaluated by the Adcom. Hear that Tacrum??? Good luck to all waiting. Can't wait to hear all the success stories . Hope you all hear good news real soon! EVMS will be a great place to be come August!
Hmmmm ... very interesting. Sorry if I implied any false knowledge by saying that I thought probably nobody remains to be evaluated and added to the wait list. It would make sense they would review everybody before preview weekend but I guess that was not the case. I suppose there's always those later interviews and subsequent reviews. Thanks for correcting me! I stand corrected. I guess that clears that up.buckeyebee said:I know this is a month after the fact, but I just found this thread and thought I'd add some input...Don't be so sure about no one else remaining to be evaluated by Adcom- I know I just got evaluated last week. I interviewed back in the middle of February, but my committee member just turned in my file last week. I called today and am waitlisted in the middle third. Since it's the end of April and I'm middle third, I'm thinking my chances aren't great... but I hope it works out for everyone else!

edit: also good luck! I wish you all the best on getting the acceptance.
Nope, really, you didn't sound rude at all. I was actually hoping somebody out there would know so the truth and correct me if I was wrong. I was happy that you did!! Sorry tho, when I replied to your last one I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't put many smiley faces in it!!buckeyebee said:Sorry if I sounded at all rude with that last post- that wasn't my intention, I think I am just a little bitter about the two month turn-around when it seems like many people heard within two weeks. If it hadn't happened to me, I would've had the exact same assumption as you. It's easy to think when interviews are over, so are the adcom's decisions... but circumstances may lead to adcom decisions being reached on files up until May 15th. I guess in some ways it gives hope to people though- at least a reason why the waitlist might not move much until then since decisions are still being made. I just figured I would let you all know about it so that you aren't under the assumption that all decisions have already been made. There's still hope for waitlist movement!
Thanks for the luck by the way, I have a feeling I'll need it with that middle third ranking. I need to start devising ways to make it into the top third
madi said:Has anyone on the waitlist heard any good news recently from EVMS?
C.P. Jones said:people, stop being so white and out of state...and male...please
Depakote said:Let me guess, you're all White out-of-state males too. V_V
ghostchild said:
It's possible that WOOSMs just have a higher probability of being on sdn?? Perhaps all the females are on blogs or myspace.???
madi said:Anyone gotten in off the waitlist recently?
Vincir said:Somebody's eager
madi said:
It's not just medical school or no medical school anymore. It's medical school versus the $52K tuition for the Georgetown SMP Program, which may or may not get me into medical school and thus may leave me with no MD and $52K to pay back in loans.
ACK! LET ME IN, EVMS!!!!!!!
madi said:Hey...what about me? I'm a WINF (that sounds vaguely like a file in my registry key...)
ghostchild said:Don't feel bad, I'm a WINM (that sounds like something on my registry key too). But I do get the impression that we are in the minority on here! But that just means we're super cool ....
buckeyebee said:I myself am a WOOSF. That almost sounds like a bark. It does seem the females are in low numbers on here... maybe that's a good sign?!
Depakote said:BTW. I prefer the acronym white MOOSe... just makes it funnier.
