dear comrades,

now that the ides of march have (nearly) come and gone, and many of us are suffering from acute post-traumatic stress disorder from the ordeal, i wanted to get an idea of where MSTP applicants stood with respect to waitlists. i seem to be getting my fair share in the process -- after flat post-interview rejections from harvard and cornell, i'm also looking at the following "alternate" lists:

UCSF (as well as "high priority" MD)
UCLA-Caltech
Columbia

... and probably Yale on Friday, if I'm that lucky.

For those who are interested, I turned down USC-Caltech and a MD-only offer at Stanford and am currently planning on attending the Mount Sinai MSTP. I'm wondering if there are others out there in a similar situation....

Here's to several more months of waiting.

I wouldn't worry so much about this process. Most applicants probably get onto wait lists for most programs they apply to. Back in my day, I interviewed at 10 programs and was only rejected by two programs. I got two acceptances, and the rest were wait lists. There I sat until Late April, where I was forced to decide between my acceptances. Once I made that choice, I withdrew from all the wait-lists (after a few weeks contemplation)... Its nice to plan ahead and know where you will be. But the lists DO move, up until the day school starts (for some).
 
Waitlisted at AECOM and SUNY Upstate.

Any one knows if the Yale MSTP waitlist is ranked and how fast does it move?

The Yale waitlist is ranked. Every person has their own number, and then the candidates are broken into three groups (1, 2, 3). As of yet thos groups have not been finalized, and we'll hear when they are. I guess if you have an update, now's the time...

hi guys,

here is some GOOD news. I was waitlisted at Harvard MSTP. I just got the call telling me I'm in now! Best of luck to you all too!

WOW! Congrats! Is this your first choice?
 
Thanks! I think UCSF might be my first choice, but I'm waitlisted there. I'll have a better idea after revisits.

Thanks!!! I did make sure to send a long update letter with my waitlist accept form...let's hope this is gonna help....

Hehe... you know what? I'm in the exact opposite situation: waitlisted at Harvard MSTP, in at UCSF MSTP, and I might rather go to Harvard. Want to switch places/identities? :D
 
do the md/phd waitlists start movement after may 15th like regular MD?

i think that may 15 is the usual time for WL movement among md/phd programs...although it may vary by school. UAB, for example, gives an april 15 deadline for accepted students to accept the offer (i.e. their waitlist movement begins around april 15 not may 15).

I am not really sure. For a number of reasons I have the impression that God has closed the MSSM door. The research in the area I am interested in is more developed at Columbia, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere, administrative structure, and location of Sinai. Plus, over spring break I got my Columbia health stuff taken care of (which I'll probably need for any med school) and my arm still hurts from the Tetanus booster. I'll cross that bridge if I get to it.

The MSSM "official deadline" has passed and I have declined the after the fact waitlist. Columbia here I come!
 
Waitlisted at: SUNY Buffalo (high priority), UCI (very low, "most likely will not be accepted" were the director's comments)

sigh...I really wanted UCI too :(
 
I just got an email with my Yale MD/PhD aceptance letter....yaaaaaaaaay
