You guys have any idea if Toledo has waitlist movement stratified in the same manor as Cincinnati does, that is to say for every OOS male Caucasian that is removes themselves from the class, they are replaced by another OOS male Caucasian, etc., etc.?

 

[Depakote]

I can only go off of my past observations (looking at a few years of waitlist threads)...

I think they replace IS with IS and OOS with OOS.

I'm not sure if they look at any demographics beyond that.

Congratulations to people who have been accepted, and good luck to people on waitlist.

Quesiton: I talked to one of my friend who is currently attending toledo, he said that their research funds have been decreased, so I was wondering if that will bring the school ranking down.

I would assume if Toledo's research funding is being cut, it's probably a sign of research cuts across the board due to the current economic climate so I don't think this would affect any of the rankings as it's likely to affect all schools in a similar fashion.

That said, Toledo is not much of a research school to begin with so there really isn't much of a USNews ranking to be affected by a research cut. 🙄

Come on alternate list movement!!

 

[whoisthedrizzle]

From Sandy:

"I don't have stats yet but there are about 160 on the alternate list. We have started to take names off the list but it is still too early to tell what kind of movement to expect. Please check back in a few weeks if you do not hear from us for an update."

Sandy informed me that there has been no movement from the alternate list this week. Thats a real bummer. I had hope for a little while after hearing my rank, but its pretty much gone again.

Yeah no **** man. This process is excruciating.

We need to give this alternate list a laxative to get it moving again.

 

[idleburra]

Does anyone know if the movement is this slow every year or if this year is special?

helpful. I like going back in time and watching you in our position, and actually getting in.

Makes me feel like there's some decent hope. Til at least mid july. haha

 

[Davydude7]

Well, another long weekend until we have a chance of hearing anything. Maybe next week we will finally see some movement.

[steveteai]

I emailed Sandy yesterday she said, to no fault of her own, the equivalent of nothing - "There has been a little movement on the list but we do expect more."

well spake, sir.

 

[medstar21]

c'mon waitlist! lets get moving already!! Its time... well past time actually...

 

[Davydude7]

The waitlist this year seems very different from previous years. No movement happening at all. I guess its time to submit AMCAS 2010.... Tell us something good to make everyone happy Depakote. Please?

Not everyone on the waitlist is posting in this thread. It appears that there's been some movement, just not all of it has been reported back here.

It's only mid-June, give it time. People can be pulled through July and early August.

Also puppies:

edit: still, at this point in the game I would start getting AMCAS ready and consider submitting it to a single school just so it's verified. If things don't work out, you can add more schools later.

 

[medstar21]

Awwww! The puppies! Definitely a spirit uplifter if only for a moment 🙂 How cute...

Hi guys,
I've been following this thread for a while now (perhaps a little obsessively), but haven't posted bc I didn't feel like I had anything to add. Just got a call from Sandy that I have been offered a position! I was an OOS, non-traditional high priority candidate on the waitlist. So just wanted to let you guys know that there is still hope! Movement might seem a little slow, but don't give up.

Congrats to the accepted people of the waitlist and good luck to all of us who are still waiting. Hoping more movement next week.

 

[steveteai]

Yea, congrats everybody. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a tad bit jealous, but congrats nonetheless!

 

[Blonde Doctor]

I got a call from Sandy this morning offering me a position off the waitlist. I was so excited that I almost cried; it's the best grad present ever. This is my first acceptance, I can't believe I am actually going to med school this year!

btw, I'm an in-state female, from the high priority section.

good luck to everyone remaining on the waitlist. I really hope that you guys will be joining me at toledo in august.

😍😍

It was a 419 number. I asked Sandy to email me the information that she was telling me because I was too excited to actually hear and understand what she was saying.

By the way, about 2 hours after that, I got a call from private number. I was so scared that it was a call saying "uh... yeah, we screwed up. You didn't get in, sorry"
