waitlist

Hi, Could some med students who got accepted of the waitlist advise a fellow waitlister? Just wondering how much I should be annoying admissions, I want to seem eager but not pushy. I interviewed 3/29, was waitlisted 5/11, and turned in a letter of intent on 5/15. (University of Toledo) Still...

So unfortunately, I’m in the waitlist for one of my favorite professor’s biology class, and the last open option for this class is a professor who has terrible ratings and everyone I’ve talked to says is pretty bad. The add/drop deadline is in 2 days and it’s not looking good for me. How have...

I received admission to one school and am on the waitlist to another school. Is it proper to email the waitlist school and ask them to expedite my decision based on the other acceptance. Basically saying something like “I was accepted I need to know my decision to your school as soon as...

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...

On May 1, and all this week, I was expecting a torrential downpour of "I GOT ACCEPTED OFF THE WAITLIST!!!!" type posts. I thought the bulk of waitlist movement happens right after the April 30 "traffic day." Alas, I'm not seeing a whole lot of movement in the school-specific threads, here in...

Does getting an acceptance off the waitlist make you ineligible for other schools that you are on the waitlist for? For example if you accept a position from a University does that mean other schools will remove you from their waitlist?

Hi everyone! I found this waitlist tracker on reddit and though it might be useful for everyone to fill it out! Form: 2018 MD Waitlist Acceptance Tracker Responses:

Hey all, not sure how well this post will do, but thought I'd try! Rutgers senior here. Thought it would be interesting to see out of those from Rutgers University that applied to veterinary school this past cycle, how many have been admitted, waitlisted, denied, etc. and to what schools. Im...

Hey guys, I would really appreciate advice especially from adcoms on what I should do... I won't give entire details in order to preserve anonymity, but: I have just under a 3.8 GPA/scGPA, went to a top undergrad, got a 525 on MCAT. ORM My extracurriculars were decent, I was a leader of a...

So I got an interview to a school back in January and was waitlisted in February. I loved the school and sent a letter of intent because of all the schools I had interviewed at, it was definitely my first choice. BUT, then I received an II from my absolute favorite school that was a reach and I...

In the Biology department at my school, there's tons of people on the waitlist right now for various classes in the summer. I'm a freshman so I don't know how things have gone in the past, but at your school, when there's so many people on the waitlist, are more classes added? Or are the people...

Hi guys! Its almost that time of the year to start applying to programs, and I just wanted to hear from other students who have applied,been accepted or even waitlisted at Wash U! I understand it’s a difficult program to get into, but i’m staying hopeful that I may still get in. Thanks in...

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.

I need to take general chemistry 2 in the fall because of my course sequence and I know that this professor's class will fill up quickly. One of my tutors who's a senior told me to email him beforehand and ask him about a spot in his class. The thing is, I don't know him, and he'd have no reason...

Hello everyone, I’ve been accepted into 1 school & waitlisted in the other. Do I need to withdraw from the waitlisted school by April 30th? On another note, would it be wise to add waitlisted school on fafsa or wait until there’s acceptance in hand?

Saw an MD applicants support group and didn't want to hijack their thread. Figured this would be a nice place to vent and talk about WL movement for DO schools. This process is so stressful but at least you're not alone in it. I'm currently on PCOM WL and have been since early March. Hope we...

After being informed about receiving a 4-year HPSP, my recruiter wanted to receive my final decision as to which school I will be attending. Although I got an acceptance to my 2nd top pick school, my first choice has waitlisted me. If I get off the waitlist, can my scholarship be revoked if I...

So I got waitlisted/alternate status for Creighton med school. I know they do not rank their waitlist so I was wondering if anyone has advice for going from alternate to accepted. What kinds of updates go above and beyond their expectations? Thank you and best wishes to everyone this cycle!

Hi everyone! I was placed on the waitlist for Penn Dental and just wondering if anyone has insight into what the chances are of getting in? Is there anything I can do to better my chances of turning this status into an acceptance? Additionally, because it is mid-March, is it safe to assume the...

So here's my situation. I have an acceptance at Northwestern, as well as an unranked school. I'm waitlist at UCI but that's where I want to go for various reasons (cost, community etc). What should my strategy be to convince UCI to take me off the wait list? Should I tell them I have a top 20...

I thought I would start a new thread for MD applicants who have been waitlisted for the 2017-2018 application cycle. I saw some waitlist groups for earlier years, and I thought it might be helpful to have some mutual support in a time of stress. It doesn't matter if you've been waitlisted once...

Received an acceptance at my top choice, but I was also just offered a waitlist spot at another school. Would accepting the spot (and potentially later being granted acceptance, etc) be of any benefit to me in negotiating financial aid at my top choice? Or is it a lost cause and should I just...

Hi guys, So currently I'm sitting on four waitlists (one high priority the others unranked) and no acceptances. I applied to around 11 schools this cycle. Seeing as it is already March, I was wondering if I should begin preparing for reapplication. But I'm not sure if I should reapply this...

Hello SDN! I've lurked a fair amount but have finally created an account looking for some insight. Out of 14 MD secondaries I completed this year I landed just 2 II's which both resulted in waitlists despite interviews that I thought went well. All the schools I applied to I would classify as...

I was interview on the 14/2 and I got waitlisted today to Touro School of Dentistry. Can you please tell me what I can do at the moment or do I still have a chance? Thank you very much.

I received an email from UCBSO on Thursday that I was invited to join their waitlist. It seems like they rank their waitlist and I felt sad because I really want to attend optometry school here. UCBSO asked that I don't send any more letters or materials and just told me to wait until April...

Has anyone gotten their acceptance letter and made a decision? How long did they give you to decide? I was put on the waitlist so now just more waiting to see what will happen. Excited to hear something, but not exactly the verdict I was hoping for.

Hey guys. Figured I'd start this thread for anyone else waitlisted like me. I don't think we'll start hearing anything until May, but I know someone who got pulled off randomly in December, so I suppose it isn't too crazy to hope for a miracle this early, haha.

So I am really grateful I got multiple acceptances this year. However, after interviewing at pitt, I fell in love with the school. I know I want to be there for the next four years. They put my on waitlist yesterday. I am guess I either didn't interview well, or they didn't believe I would...

Wanting to start a thread on Pacific University's (Oregon) waitlist status. Post where you are on the waitlist, if you are declining an acceptance, etc. I am currently in Tier 2.

Hello Everyone, Has anyone been invited and/or accepted for the pharmacy program at MCPHS? I am currently on the waitlist to interview. Anyone been in this situation before? Thanks!

So I am currently on 5 waitlists and want to submit an additional letter of rec from one of my professors. Should this letter be submitted via amcas or sent directly to the schools at which I am waitlisted? Also, if it is to be emailed directly should that be done by my professor or by myself?

Because (indefinite) misery loves company, I thought it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to commiserating our waitlist status. I'm doing my best to stay positive, while also planning for the worst...it's a delicate balance. Let's survive the next few months of roller coaster emotions...

I recently had a pub accepted for publication, and have started a new volunteering gig. At this point in the cycle, I've interviewed at all the schools I am going to, and I'm waiting for decisions. Should I wait for a decision to send this update letter so that I have something to say if I'm...

I know it is still very early on, but I am waiting to hear from 4 schools, 3 of which I had an interview at in October. I’m just curious, but do you think it’s better to be put on a waitlist on Dec. 1, or still not hear anything? I know every school is different! I’m also definitely not the...

Hello, First post here because super upset. I'm not sure if anyone else is in this situation but since decisions were released this Monday, I heard from 3 schools so far, and all of them were waitlists. Not only does this make me doubt the other interviews I already did (these schools only...

I just got an email saying that I am waitlisted for USyd DMD. Does anyone know what are my chances of getting off the waitlist, or how much the waitlist moves compared to previous years? I am a Canadian and took the CDAT, with an AA of 22 (none of my scores were below 20). Thought my MMI went...

I might be jumping the gun on this because I'm still on four waitlists and it's possible I'll be accepted this year...but I can't help but feel like I'm doing something wrong. Stats: MCAT 504, cGPA 3.4 sGPA 3.36. I had a strong upward GPA trend and made Dean's List in my final semester. 6...
