waitlist

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...

Howdy I was fortunate enough to interview at my top choice (Albert Einstein) as well as some other great schools. To be honest, I don't want to be greedy as I have a LM of 70 and applied late (end of Sept) due to an MCAT second retake. I was accepted in early April to an amazing school and...

Hey I was waitlisted to 5 schools and was wonder if anyone has been acceoted off a waitlist yet. its coming down to the last few mo ths before the new cycle and was hoping anyone had any news from their schools yet.

Hi all, As I'm sure many of you have experienced or are experiencing, I'm dealing with the fear of not getting into medical school. It is May and I am on 3 waitlists and feeling hopeless and noticing every mistake I made along the way and feeling more sad every day about this. From my research...

Got a call just now saying I am waitlisted. Anyone else get waitlisted?

I'm currently on 2 waitlists hoping to hear back after traffic day. I'd appreciate advice on plans moving forward and my chances of getting off the waitlist. What is your advice moving forward/chances of acceptance next month?

Hi :') I wanted to start a list of alternates for this cycle to vent our frustration or excitement if we don't hear or do hear from them. I called today and I was ofered and alternate position and my admissions satus changed to "The Office of Admissions received confirmation of your position on...

Hi Everyone, I am currently waitlisted at 3 schools, the only IIs I got out of 17 schools. I’m gearing up for a new cycle. I graduated from a small liberal arts school. I am currently on 3, going on 4 years out of college and working as a Research Associate in Boston and will hopefully have a...

For those of us with zero acceptances, one heavy soul, less money than a year ago, and waning hope for the future, who are in need of a little support from our comrades... because I don't think a thread exists for us yet? :hurting::hungover::blackeye::yuck: four waitlists. zero acceptances...

You’ve taken the MCAT, completed all the pre-reqs, and maybe shadowed a physician, done some research, and volunteered. Now it’s time to make sure you’re all in for the last legs of this long journey. In this series, we’ll discuss how you can continue to navigate your way to a med school...

Hey guys! I am curruently on the waitlist at 2 schools. Does it help/hurt you to call the admissions office to ask them about your application? I feel like it could show them that you are still extremely interested in their (which I am!). However I do not want to come off as annoying and hurt my...

Hey y'all I was wondering if anyone knows the average number that UAB accepts from the wait list? I'm # 10 and was curious if that meant anything?

So I've heard back from all the programs I applied to and I am on 9 waitlists. I'm struggling to stay hopeful at this point..I guess I'm just looking for any advice on whether I should be persistent with reaching out to schools to consistently check my waitlist status (but I don't want to become...

So long story short, I paid my second deposit at one dental school and am planning on going there unless I get moved up from the waitlist and get accepted to another school. Will the school where I deposited my fees deny my admission if they find out I am on the waitlist at the other school?

Does anybody have a rough estimate of approximately how many people get placed on the waitlist every year at Maryland and if there is much movement for in state or out of state waitlisted applicants? Wanted to know for myself and others. Thanks!

Hey all you people! Just taking a survey of those who applied to Maryland and were waitlisted. Just wanted to get a nice survey going that can help future applicants gauge the waitlist movement for future cycles. Just vote on if you're in state or out of state and comment in this thread whether...

Is it too early for a support group on this topic:eyebrow:?? WL for SH campus since 8/2016 Does anyone know if this WL is combined with Erie's? Also perhaps chances! ha

Hey everyone! As disappointing/embarrassing as it is to say, it's looking like I may be a gap year re-applicant. (rejected to UIC, St. Scholastica, Puget Sound, Wisconsin Madison; waitlisted at Rush; waiting to hear from Wisconsin Milwaukee, Davenport, Eastern Washington University (had an...

Has anyone heard back from Maryland? Feel like they haven't sent out any acceptances in over a month..... is this normal? I interview January 11th is it likely that I get waitlisted at this point? Any beneficial feedback is appreciated!

Hey guys! Has anyone else heard back from Pacific University (Oregon not California)? I got my response today that I am on the waitlist. Does anyone know roughly what number of waitlisted students are usually asked before the program is filled? Thanks!

If you have been placed on the waiting list, you can send in a letter to reiterate your interest in the school. Keep in mind, that this letter of interest is not going to make or break your application. Where you are placed on the waiting list plays a much larger role. If you’re #5 on the...

I was waitlisted at an MD school, and although they are not my top choice (haven't heard back from my top yet!), I would like to send a letter of interest. I'm having trouble formatting it...I'm basically stating when I interviewed, and why I'm very interested in the program. Anyone have any...

Hey all, I'm currently on the waitlist at MGH IHP and received the same email it seems all applicants on the waitlist got about the class still being full. Since the deposit deadline has passed and those on the waitlist were asked to declare if they wanted to stay on or wanted to be taken...

Hello! I was wait listed at my top choice that has a lot of wait list movement, but I have also been accepted to a few other MD schools that I would be very happy attending. My question is- if I write a letter of intent to my top choice, how late in the game can they really hold me to that...

Hey guys! So I applied to LSU's SVM and was a little disappointed with how they went through the admission and interview process. Unfortunately, they decided to NOT interview OOS residents (which doesn't include Arkansas residents since that's a contract school). So, they already sent offers to...

So I've been waitlisted by every school that has responded to me to this date so I am up to 6... Is there any possibility of me getting off any waitlist or are my chances slim? Also is anyone else in the same boat as me or am I just that weird statistic

Hey all, I was recently waitlisted at a school that I would love to attend, and I'm going to get another LOR from a mentor. Would it be good to have them direct the LOR as: Dear X SOM, trolligummishark would be an excellent applicant at X SOM because of reasons... (these reasons would fit...

Whoever is wait-listed at UDM, we can use this thread to give updates on our status over the coming months.

Hi guys! So my girlfriend was just notified today that she was placed on the waitlist for University of Maryland School of Physical Therapy. She is in state, 3.98 GPA, average GRE scores, and is has a lot of shadowing experience and extracurriculars presented in her application (I know seems to...

Hi all! So I was fortunate enough to receive a few interview invites, but so far I've been wait listed.. I went to a fairly competitive undergrad and also had a family crisis at the end of freshman year to the beginning sophomore year that really messed with my gpa.. (I explained that in my...

Now that first round acceptances, rejections, and waitlist have gone out I think a thread keeping track of solely of waitlisted results will be useful. Please include: School Date notified Stats if you'd like

For those in a similar situation, or reapplicants who have experienced this before, what does it mean to not hear back from schools today? In cases like mine where GPA isn't all that impressive, is "no news good news?" Or is it essentially a rejection? I woke up at 6:30am like most of you...

Hello all, So, my question is quick so I'll get right to it. Thus far, I have had 3 interviews, with my 4th coming in January. The only decision of those schools as of now is a waitlist (which happens to be at my top school). The school prefers IS residents (I'm OOS), but they're class ends...

I was waitlisted at my #1 choice, but received an acceptance to one of my "safeties." I'm incredibly grateful for my acceptance, but obviously I would prefer my top choice. At my interview, this school said to stay on the waitlist, you have to send a letter of interest. They don't start pulling...

Hi! I applied last cycle and received a few interview offers at a very wide range of schools: Duke, UCSF, GW, SUNY Downstate, NYMC. My SUNY and NYMC interview invites came pretty late in the game. I was also being excessively picky, so I politely turned down both these interviews. I realize...

Hey guys, I just wanted to know if anyone is currently on the waitlist for Touro College of Pharmacy (NY), and know of anything we should do in the meantime while we wait for their decisions. I recently sent them an updated college transcript with new course grades. It just kinda sucks that we...
