waitlist

Hi all, I am about 90% through the process of enrollment at a medical school (A). However, I just got accepted into my top choice (B) off the waitlist. I haven’t paid school A any money but I’ve gone through most of the paperwork. How do I proceed in writing an email saying I don’t want to...

This might be a dumb question, but I am a bit of a neurotic pre-med, I can admit and would really appreciate some help clearing this up :) I currently hold two acceptances, but will be withdrawing one of them today. However, this is after the May 15th deadline. I'm a bit confused as to how the...

Hi Everyone, I interviewed with PUCO in January and was placed on the waitlist. Does anyone know how much movement their waitlist normally sees? Also, is there a day that a second deposit is due for accepted students?

Hello! I'm hoping I have found some fellow applicants that are just as anxious as I am! I was notified that I had been put on the waitlist for the UW - Seattle incoming 2022 OT class. In the email, it said waitlist alternates would be informed as spots opened after March 28th. They expect to...

I got waitlisted at 3 schools so far and received lots of rejections. This is my second time applying to school and I’m losing hope I would get into these schools (was waitlisted 2x first time). My question is, has anyone ever gotten off the waitlist? If so, how long did you hear back from the...

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...

Hi! So I just recently got an offer from Stony Brook Dental and NYU dental, and I am currently on the Rutgers waitlist and they are probably my top school. I wanted to know if it would be a good idea to add in the letter of interest that I’m planning on writing to them that I got offers from...

Hi everyone, I interviewed with Pacific University (Oregon) about a month ago and was recently told I’m on the 1st tier waitlist. I am wondering if anyone knows how the tiers work (how many people are in the tiers etc). Also, does anyone know when the deposit is due for accepted students?

I really need advice. Please help! I have been blessed to be accepted to three osteopathic schools: LMU-DCOM, WVSOM, and TUNCOM. I am waiting to hear back from LECOM. I did my post-bacc at EVMS and was interviewed by them and am on the "mid-tier" of their waitlist right now. EVMS is my top...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to make a thread about the latest application cycle for Emory. I interviewed January 7th and heard back on the 3rd that I have been waitlisted. It’s my top choice, and i’m desperately hoping I can get off the waitlist. Anyone have any experiences that will provide me...

I'm having trouble choosing a medical school to begin attending next year. I've been accepted into: 1) Rosalind Franklin University 2) Western Michigan University 3) California University of Science and Medicine They each seem to have their pros and cons, but none sticks out as a leader...

Just curious if anyone has heard any news from WCU? (Interviews were Nov 16-20 and we were notified Nov 30 if we were accepted or the placed on the waitlist.) Has anyone gotten off the waitlist so far? Thanks!

Hello! This is my very first post on SDN after many many years of lurking without an account. I finally have a question pressing enough to ask here. I’m a 4th year Army HPSP dental student who applied to the 1-Year AEGD and recently got placed on the waitlist, or OML. I wanted to reach out and...

Hey all, I had something important come up on the same day of a scheduled interview. The freeze date on the ERAS self-scheduler has passed already, but I'm confused based on the ERAS user guide. It says that you can still cancel a scheduled interview date after a freeze date has passed. It...

Hi everyone! I recently interviewed at a school and i fell in love with the school. I wanted to know if it would be acceptable to send a letter of intent in a month, before dec 1st decisions are made. So far it has been my only interview and i will be more than happy to attend the school if...

I was put into the "alternate" list after the interview for the Temple Pharmacy program. I emailed Hankins for an update but she only told me "your current status as alternate remains". I feel really anxious. What are the chances to get in? Has anyone else experienced this?

Currently on a waitlist and not ready to even think about reapplying, so I’ve given up on medical school? What else would I do? I have no idea how to figure this out, and I think I’ve tried everything except asking strangers on the internet so please help strangers!!

Hello everyone! My CTE deadline is quickly approaching and I am WL'd at my top choice institution. My WL school encourages updates (I have sent a update/LOI pre-WL, an update and a LOI post WL already). I was wondering if it would be acceptable to send another update 1) reiterating my...

Hey guys, I got waitlist from OSU and was wondering what I should do? I’ve been preparing myself for pharmacy school throughout my undergrad and now I’m not sure what to do if I don’t get a response back. Did anyone else also go waitlisted?

Was wondering when might be a good time to ask for feedback for prepare for a new cycle, while being on the waitlist. It seems like asking for it while on the waitlist might give off the impression that I'm "giving up" on the current cycle. Is there any time at which it is fair to ask for...

Thought I'd create a quick thread for LECOM alternate/waitlists since it seems like loads of people are on it and the general thread is getting pretty long. While we wait for movement, maybe we can share where we're waitlisted? and if we're on the waitlist or alternate. Alternate at LECOM SH...

Would be great if @Goro @LizzyM @gyngyn @gonnif and other people could shed some light on this for me. Let’s say I’m put on a waitlist for a school and this school was my only interview for the cycle. I’m operating under the assumption that I’m not getting in anywhere that cycle, since banking...

Hi everyone! The question is pretty much the title. I am a current OMS1 and my friend was recently waitlisted at my school. I was waitlisted last year so I have been giving him tips from my experience, but I was curious if there was anything I could do that could possibly bump him up the...

Just found out today that I’ve been waitlisted at my dream school, Cornell. I would absolutely love to attend there, but I’ve also been accepted by my second choice, Pitt. WL movement likely won’t start until May. I’m tired of playing the waiting game but I don’t think I’m quite ready to give...

Do the majority of successful applicants send letters of interest, updates, call the admissions office of the schools they are interested in/waitlisted at? I have not done any of that this cycle and have seen many people on SDN regularly emailing/calling admissions and staying in close...

Hi everyone! December 15th passed and I got put on the waitlist at two schools. I need advice on when to send a letter of intent. I am waiting on another school's decision (which would be my first choice and I already interviewed there), however I don't want to jeopardize a potential seat at...

Hello! This is a survey to help collect data that reflect with more specificity the ultimate fates of applicants who attended at least one interview, particularly how many accepted applicants come from waitlists versus direct acceptances, as well as how often waitlists seem to actually turn into...

Hi All, If someone is waitlisted for a school 2 weeks post-interview, how many weeks after receiving this news would you recommend they wait before sending a follow-up "Letter of Interest"? I do not want to send the letter too early & it come across as desperate/needy. Similarly, I do not want...

Hello, I am currently on the waitlist for the dental school I applied. While I am waiting, the school's new application session has opened up, and the deadline for the early interview is next month. Does anyone know if I re-apply again, I have to give up being on the waitlist? I am going to...

Hello, I am currently on the Army OML for the 4 year HPSP. I have been since February. My question is basically, does anyone know if there is still hope to get off the waitlist at this point? I know in past cycles people have gotten off the waitlist around mid-June, but is July too late? Also...

Hey all, I posted a poll about a month ago to see where everyone was at. There’s been quite a bit of movement since then so just wanted to do an update. If you previously participated in the last poll, I’d appreciate if you could participate in this one as well. It’s anonymous.

Hey all, thought this might be an interesting poll to gage where people are at right now. Also kept it anon in hopes that more people will engage! Mods-My apologies if this is in the wrong place.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone else was placed on an alternate list/ waitlist for class of 2024 after interviewing at Midwestern's optometry program in Arizona. -If so, how long did it take for you to come off the list (if you did come off)? -Is it because all the seats filled up for...

Hi guys, I just wanted to make a group for those currently on the waitlist for PCOM-PA for the 2019-2020 cycle.

Hi Everyone, I'm a current ACLP student and figured it was a good time to start this years threads. Last years threads had a great intro so I'm just going to quote that. Past years threads also have lots of good information 2019-2020 2018-2019 Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Hi all, So I've already been accepted (after match day, TMDSAS), to one school, and have already started sending my relevant documents and what not. However, i just got an email about being on the waitlist for another school that was originally ranked as my #1. If i get off of this school's...

Ok it's 2020, I no longer think it's too early for a WL support thread. Currently I have had 3 interviews, waitlisted for 2 of them and it H U R T S. Still waiting to hear back about the 3rd interview, but this was my worst one yet so I'm not too hopeful that this one will end up any different...

Hey guys. So I am currently sat on 5 post-interview waitlists after this application year. I applied to 9 schools and had 5 interviews. Here are my stats (I know it's long but just to give you a good idea): 3.85 cGPA, 3.95sGPA with 4x4.0's in a row my junior and senior year (got a 3.5 my first...

Let's wait out the storm together.

Hello I’m looking to start a thread for people on a waitlist. I think it could be helpful for people to get a better understanding of where they stand and what schools are still a possibility and what schools are a stretch for people at this point. Post what schools you currently have a...
