Where's Wash U on your personal list?
Yup, I'm right there with you @FriendlyFH. I'd be totally content going to one of the schools that I've been accepted at, but I still have five left to hear from -- four of which are at the very top of my preference list. So nervewracking to have no idea where we'll be starting school or living in 6-8 months... But it's exciting too! I just spend a significant amount of time poring through 2013-14 school specific threads for the schools I'm waiting on, trying to get a sense for when I can expect to hear back. Looks like there will be lots of waiting on the horizon for me, but I'm going to try and stay hopeful and enthusiastic and upbeat about it!
I hope everyone hears good news soon!
Sorry to hear that girl. Go back there for residency!rejected by UCSF... /dead
Nice! Remote high five!
Nope, you can hold one acceptance but still be on multiple waitlists. I've heard of people getting in off WLs in June or later.
So, correct me if I'm wrong. But let's say you get off a waitlist and get accepted, would you have to withdraw your acceptance to your first school before accepting the offer of the second school?
That's a good question...
Good luck to you sir! Hope you get in soon!5 II's, two in mid December and the other two in the last two weeks. One more this coming week. My stats are below the 10 percent in each school but my overall experiences in both research and the medical field have earned me these interviews. I also believe being a URM and an IS applicant also helped. I am anxiously waiting for my first acceptance. This waiting game is unforgiving!!
I had a good chuckle at it, I hope it helps others in this waiting game! Good luck to everyone
So true. When I applied, people kept asking me where I'll be going in the fall. I was like...next fall...not....sure.........I was talking to a friend about the stresses of waiting to hear back from different schools, and I told him that these next 7 weeks are going to be worse than the 20+ preceding them. He asked if it's really been that long, and I told him the process started in June.
"It has THAT LONG of a window? 9 months... babies are more expedient!"
yuck. So sorry. That's just awful. Do you have more interviews coming up?
Nope it was my last one
A lot of schools have significant WL movements. At some schools, as many as 75% of the incoming class may come from WL. It's a long haul, don't give up!
Students may maintain a position on any waitlist until orientation starts at the school where they hold an acceptance.
His support is good but insufficient to affect the duration of consideration.
Your MDapps...you only applied to top places?? You must be a rockstar/superstar!
The notification is out of respect right? There won't be a situation where the donor schools says no to the poacher and the applicant will not know about the poaching or will not be able to accept?
I still think you're one of the cream of the crop this application year. You know that most applicants have to apply very broadly in terms of location and "tier" for medical school just to have a chance of getting in somewhere. I didn't see any mid-lower tier schools on your list, so that's why I thought you were amazing since only the best of the best or someone with huge balls would pull off something like that.
No, it's a traffic rule. The donor can't stop poaching but might be able to point out some other reason that the student is not available (like orientation has started) that the poacher missed.
Thanks for the clarification.
