waitlist updates

Landing on a school’s waitlist can be disappointing and even nerve-racking. As a result, waitlisted applicants sometimes let their anxiety or disappointment cloud their thinking, but if you’re waitlisted, try to stay calm and focused. Remember, if you’ve been waitlisted, you have not been...

Hey everyone, I created this so anyone on the waitlist could post updates and talk to one another if they would like. Today, UNM posted that they have accepted alternates 1 and 2 so there is already some movement. If you decided not to accept your position help a brother out and let us know...

Hey everyone, I’m creating this poll to talk about getting waitlisted at Rutgers Dental school. If anyone was waitlisted in previous years and got accepted, please comment on what you did to get off the waitlist (if you did anything) and when did you get the offer of acceptance. For those...

Hello! I have accepted a spot at a dpt program, but just found out that I am on the waitlist at my top choice. I called and they told me I am between 4-8 on the waitlist and the deadline for accepted students is March 29th. Has anyone had any experience with this? Wondering what my odds are on...

Hi all! I am currently on 3 different waitlists for vet schools and I was wondering who else is on waitlists? I am trying to figure out what number a vet school might typically get to on a waitlist (I know it can be highly variable!) For current vet students, were any of you pulled off of a...

Hi everyone, I was recently waitlisted at my top choice school and I wanted to send them a letter of intent to reiterate my immense interest. However, on my interview day, the dean of admissions said that the committee looks very favorably upon update letters and encouraged us all to send an...

In terms of timing, if you have been placed on the waitlist, the best time to submit a letter of interest (or letter of intent) would be early May. Most medical schools require that students notify them of their decision by mid-April. Selection committees will be deliberating over who to accept...

I saw that a waitlist thread hasn't been made for this cycle, so I took the liberty of making one:happy:

Hello everyone, so I am currently on the waitlist at NYU and I was wondering how the waitlist review process works. So, to sum up what has happened so far is that I have been on the waitlist since February and I have heard nothing back while others have been getting off the waitlist - even...

Hi everyone, I found some very old posts that mentioned a way to see last year’s mobility and admissions from OHSU’s alternate list but have been unable to find out how to see this data. My spouse just received word that she is on the alternate list for 2018 and I’m just trying to gauge the...

As the current cycle draws to a close, out of curiosity, how many schools are you currently active on the waitlist for? Also, if you don’t mind sharing, which schools are they? As for myself, I’m waiting on Nova, UNE, and Indiana.

The application process is not over for waitlisted applicants. You’ve still got a chance of getting into your dream school, so now’s not the time to slack off, and it’s certainly not the time to give up. Continue fighting for that acceptance! Your waitlist updates (you write those) and letters...
