Wisconsin. I'll be moving there with my fiance, though, and he's very good around the house. He can do the shopping-cooking-laundry.
#5 means you're in. The numbers change from year to year off the waitlist, but in the past few years, they've been pretty consisent at going down about 40-50 spots. Congratulations!
Congrats bam1216! Did the school notify by you by email, letter or phone?just got accepted today!! i was #5
is this true? i'm at 34 now and was wondering if i should hold onto hope or not... any feedback would be great
Accepted today at 9:00 a.m. I was 13th alternate.
Congrats djolson! To anyone that has been accepted off the waitlist,did you receive a phone call or an email? I will be out of the country at the end of the week so my phone won't be working. Just curious in case good news dropAccepted today at 9:00 a.m. I was 13th alternate.
Decent May 15th deadline movement so far. I need 35 more spots to get through, mas movement por favor!
Why oh why oh why did I withdraw?
Madison is a great place to live FYI.

Have you tried re-contacting the admissions office? If you are truly regretting your decision, perhaps there is something they can do. You can't be the first applicant to have this issue...
It'd be awfully unfair to a lot of people patiently waiting it out on the alternate list if there were "something they could do."
No really. It may sound harsh, but the school clearly wanted the OP more than the applicants on their waitlist. If they were to put the OP in line for the next available slot, the waitlisters would be no worse off then they were before the OP gave up their original slot.
I keep trying to contact them but that admissions office is an administrative cluster****. I can't find anyone to talk to me besides secretaries. No one's ever in.
In fact, if you are on the waitlist and you have not yet heard back, the reason is probably the same - the U of M admissions office is the biggest cluster**** I've ever seen.
I'm going to have to personally go over there tomorrow...

Also, I know there are many schools' admissions offices that look at SDN. Repeatedly referring to them as a "cluster$^%," to me, qualifies as biting a hand that could potentially feed you.
Wow. You have got to be the least mature pre-med student I have ever encountered. You made a decision. Period. Your decision was to NOT attend the University of Minnesota Medical School. It's over. Deal with it. Maybe you made the right decision by deciding not to go to the U. Maybe you'll be a better person and a better physician for it, gaining new and important experiences that you couldn't get in your home state. Either way, stop complaining on this board about a decision you made. Suck it up and deal with it.I. DON'T. CARE. My family's house is not in Madison.

Now that you've been accepted to medical school, you have a responsibility to be professional and mature with fellow classmates and patients from here on out. Maybe you should take this as an opportunity to learn how to act like that. I think I speak for everyone here by saying that either you are a great actor, or this school's admissions criteria is really messed up, because based on your posts on this board, I have no idea how they selected you for admission in the first place (particularly since they supposedly place great emphasis on emotional maturity).
surprise, surprise, my ****ty state school admitted me. the only way i'll set one toe in this place is if i get in noplace else. #52 research and #92 primary care, and higher instate tuition than some schools have out of state tuition.
Thread has taken a turn for the awesome
Maybe that's because no one on this thread is interested in listening to Lockian complain about having to go to an excellent American medical school (UW-Madison) on a big scholarship because she decided for herself that it wasn't a good fit to go to the University of Minnesota. I think we're all tired of the BS on these forums from people who aren't willing to do their own intensive research and accept personal responsibility. It's time for those people to be called out.
As for me, I am on the Alternate List here. My rank is decent, but who knows if I will get in. But I did get accepted at two other schools, and I had the chance to make the decision of where I wanted to go to school. It was a tough decision, but I though about it hard, and I'm happy with my final decision. I'm from Minnesota, and I'd like to stay here, but I also recognize the advantages of going someplace else. And frankly, I'm just grateful that I've been accepted to medical school and have had the chance to choose my own destiny. And frankly, I wouldn't want to be classmates with anyone who didn't feel the same.
Have you considered the medical frat houses? A friend of mine lived in one and really liked it. They are cheap and right across from the medical school.Hello everyone!
To those already living in Minneapolis (or who are familiar with the area), would you recommend any particular apartments (single occupant preferably) that are walking distance to the medical school? Thank you very much!
How competitive is Minnesota for out-of-state applicants? Are the average stats for OOS about the same as the medians listed on MSAR?
Thanks so much for your advice, the frat houses look great indeed! Any other suggestion? What do you guys think about on-campus apartment?Have you considered the medical frat houses? A friend of mine lived in one and really liked it. They are cheap and right across from the medical school.
Hey everyone,
So as the waiting game continues for me at the U of M, I've heard several different numbers this waitlist can potentially get to based on the past. To anyone who has an opinion/some knowledge on this, I need 15ish more spots to move to be offered a position in this fall's class. Is that type of movement between now and August reasonable? Or will the movement halt over these next couple summer months?
Does it continue to move despite the fact that May 15th is long gone?I think they were at 45 the last time I checked a few days ago.
