According to David Owen, today was the last day acceptances would go out before forming the waitlist apparently. What a punch in the gut.

congrats everyone!! its a great call to get. Are yall coming to 2nd look now?

 

[ladeda]

well here's to hoping for the wait list and there being some wait list movement....

 

[Tiare208]

When is second look?

 

[iheartcats]

When is second look?

next Friday/Saturday (April 17-18)

 

[Tiare208]

Wow, that's soon. Not sure if I'll be able to go...sad...

 

[amph119]

Anyone know when they meet to determine the waitlist?

 

[ladeda]

according to some threads from last year they had assembled the waitlist by May 1st and notifications were received around the 8th...so I figure they are probably taking this week off and will spend the next two weeks figuring out the waitlist (but mind you this is just my neurotic speculation)

 

[amph119]

So anyone hear anything lately regarding the waitlist?

Both Joni and David took vacations after revisit weekend, so I wouldn't be surprised if nothing comes out for a little while.

Good luck amph!!

Thanks waterbird. Hopefully we wait list candidates hear this week.

 

[ladeda]

does anyone know when waitlist or post-interview rejection decisions will be sent out?

 

[amph119]

Does anyone have any idea of how much wait list movement there will be this year? I don't know how anyone would, but I figure I'd ask.

Pritzker, here I come! I was accepted way back in 2008, but I finally decided on Pritzker and am SO HAPPY to be headed there in the Fall! For those of you on the waitlist - good luck!

received a letter today from pritzker saying that i am in the official "waitlist pool".

 

[FSAP]

I got a waitlist letter! Anybody actually got rejected or did everyone get on the waitlist?

 

[amph119]

Where are you guys in the country? I still haven't heard from them yet.

Chicago. If your mailing address is in Champaign (IIRC we go to the same school) you will probably get yours tomorrow. We still got a chance! However slim.

 

[amph119]

Sweet, thanks for the info. Keep me updated FSAP!

 

[Iw2baDr]

Another waitlist here. I live in Chicago also.

 

[amph119]

Got my wait list today.

 

[ami1983]

I withdrew today. Pritzker is an amazing institution and I wanted to love it, but in the end you have to follow their advice and pick the best fit. Pritzker wasn't that for me.

 

[ladeda]

got my waitlist notification today in CA

 

[amph119]

When do you think we will start seeing movement, if any?

Good luck amph..i hope you can find a smaller spoon.

 

[amph119]

Anyone know if anything has happened yet? I've never wanted anything so badly in my life, ha, and the wait is killing me.

 

[amph119]

I'm guessing some calls went out today, just no one on SDN :/

Did you call and ask? ATS was over the weekend and I am guessing a few people on the committee are in P&CC, so I figured nothing would happen this week.

I did not call, but it seems admits have been going out on Thursdays, and this is the first Thursday after May 15th. I hope you are right, because I didn't get a call today.

 

[FSAP]

A couple of people I know got rejections, so not everyone who was on continued got wait listed. Any word on the movement?

 

[amph119]

The wait list is still moving, because I'm IN!! Keep the faith guys.

Congrats! Hopefully, more of us will be joining you in the next couple of weeks 👍
