Any idea when the waitlist will be finalized and we will find out where we stand?

I just got a CCLCM revisit invitation! 😍
I didn't actually get accepted, but I figure they didn't reject me. 🙂 Really excited to see all of you again - I'll be there for the UP second look, too! I assume this means they're pretty much done making the waitlist.

Doesn't that mean you got accepted? I wouldn't think they'd send revisit invites to everyone.

I really really hope you have an acceptance!! Like you, I'm also on 7 waitlists, so I know how that feels. I know it's been emphasized a million times already, but there really is no rhyme or rhythm to any of this. The chances of getting into CCLCM post-interview are WAY slimmer than all the other places that I'm on the waitlist for--some of the places I'm waitlisted at give out 50% acceptances! But anyway, we really can't do much now other than sit back and wait, maybe send in an update or two and hope for the best. I'm rooting for you.
(That said, for everyone reading this, there is no chance I'm giving up my CCLCM acceptance until at least after second look. The only thing holding me back at this point is moving away from my support group)
Congrats to everyone who got a second look email recently! 😀

Just got the call from Dean Franco. I'm in! This is going to highly complicate my decision. Interviewed in early Jan. and put on high hold after the second committee meeting.
Looking forward to 2nd look.

Wow, you've got some fabulous choices. Is location going to be a major factor for you, with Columbia and Penn on your list?

I got the email in the afternoon yesterday and the call about an hour ago.
I am a perfect example of someone who thought they had no chance, then all of a sudden my fortunes changed. So don't give up hope yet if you are waitlisted.
hey man, are you still on the waitlist or did you get a call from dean franco too?

Good luck! With 7 your chances should actually be decent, we're all rooting for you. 🙂
Congratulations!
No call for me. 🙁 Maybe later, I hope?

Location is big, but financial help is equally important. I'm really going to try to get to a lot of second looks and let my "feel" dictate the decision.

Poking my head back in here...
I am still a little confused about the Hold vs Waitlist (UP)...
Does the UP already HAVE a waitlist, is anyone here already waitlisted?
Or should I interpret that email "we do anticipate that some will likely be made from our alternate list this spring; at the end of the month, we will invite some applicants from the "hold" pool to be on this alternate list."
as that they will CREATE a waitlist at the end of March, and people will be pulled from the Hold list in order to make it?
I think my head would be exploding if I didn't have that acceptance letter in my pocket from KU, but my lingering crush on Case still burns on... >_<;

Is there anyone driving to Case for the Second Look Weekend (UP Program, April 9 & 10) from the Washington D.C./Baltimore area? I'm hoping to find a cheap way to get to Case for that weekend. I'd be willing to split the cost of gas! PM me if you wouldn't mind taking me. Thanks!

I believe that no waitlist has yet been created and that at the end of March Dr. Mehta and Christian will re-review all hold applicants to decide whether they should be placed on the wait list or rejected. So the wait list will be created from the pool of hold applicants. Good luck to us both! 👍

It appears that the waitlist has been finished, but I can't tell you when the letters will be sent out.
Congrats, looking forward to seeing you again. 🙂
No, some people at the top of the waitlist are also being invited to the second look.
Yes, the waitlisted people who got invites to second look are in the top group.
Congrats! 😀
No. There was one empty seat. Apparently, it was filled by call8675309.
It's way too soon to give up hope, pelliper. A lot of waitlist movement doesn't happen until after May 15, when people who have multiple acceptances have to start withdrawing from most of their schools. After that, the waitlists will start moving. Good luck, hope you get good news soon.

I've read all the posts about the waitlist being complete and all acceptances given out and I was just wondering if there were others who still haven't heard back post-interview. I interviewed mid Feb and haven't been notified at all. I assume because I didn't get a phone call I haven't been accepted outright, but I'm hoping to get a spot on the waitlist. Do you think my letter got lost in the mail? Do they e-mail rejections? Should I call or just be more patient? Thanks for the advice and congratulations to the M5's. 🙂

I interviewed back in the end of January and have not received any news on my status either. Most likely we will be getting a letter in the mail soon letting us know if we are waitlisted or rejected (boo). At least there is still the chance that we could have made the waitlist...
Good luck to you and hope the waiting isn't as agonizing for you as it has been for me!

Thank you CCLCMer for typing all that up.
Thanks for sharing the matchlist. I see that only three people entered Anesthesiology this year. Is that pretty reflective of how much medical students in general are interested in going into Anesthesiology these days? I've always heard how popular that specialty has been for a long time, so I was surprised to see only three people went into it.

I wouldn't say this list is indicative of a shift away from anesthesiology. You have to remember that every year of students is made up of different people with different interests, so the match fluctuates.
With that being said, this is a mighty impressive list. Just an insane amount going into Diagnostic Rads (16!!!), Otolaryngology (8), and ortho at some respectable looking places. I understand everyone says "Match Lists don't indicate the strength of a program," but with matches like this, it seems like one hell of a school.

I am not sure whether they've sent the letters out yet. I'll see if I can find out next week when they're planning to send them. It should be soon though.
Exactly.
Well, I just copied and pasted each specialty from the email that Joe (the registrar) sent to us, so it's not like I typed it all up from scratch. But you're welcome. 🙂
No, I think anesthesiology is still pretty popular. It just depends on what the people who graduate that year want to do. Evidently, this year everyone wanted to go into rads.
Exactly.
Well, we'll do our best to show them up next year. 😉

Heh, it must be way more exciting to see the process knowing that you'll be the ones opening the envelopes the next year. 😀
How should we dress for the second looks? For CCLCM, is "business attire" our interview suit or more business casual? For the UP, I don't think my confirmation says anything about Friday. Thanks!

Exciting and also a bit nervewracking. The stakes are a lot higher at this stage than they are at the med school app stage.
When I went to second look, I did not wear a suit, although I seem to remember that some people did. But I think a shirt and tie would be fine. I also seem to remember the UP second look being more casual than the CCLCM second look, but you should probably call their office to confirm.

Congrats M4s and M5s! Wow... as expected from Case 😀
I always find it intriguing to see what a school's students pick - like this year, so many ENTs! That's one area that simply does NOT interest me.
And lol, I just used the words pick and ENT in one sentence.
Has anyone seen stats on how many total AMCAS applicants there were this year vs how many M.D. school positions open?
