I'm on their Facebook page and it seems like the class is almost full!

Just called in...I'm still waitlisted =( The admissions lady told me waitlist movement has been slow "but anything can happen." Here's to hoping!

Why is everyone so quiet? It is not over yet, right? The way I look at it is that no news is good news. Cheers 🙂
 
Honestly, if EVMS's waitlist isn't moving very much, it probably means that waitlists nationally aren't moving very much either. NYMC and EVMS are typically known as the "waitlist schools" (citation needed).

I would gladly give up my acceptance, as I did not like EVMS very much, but my other waitlist is not moving, and it seems that EVMS is my only shot. Plus, my advisor told me it was poison in the water to get accepted into a medical school, withdraw, and then try to reapply, so I have to stick with what I got.

How could you be on 6 wait lists with those stats?! This process seems more ridiculous the more I learn about it.

Anyway, congrats!

EVMS isn't really a waitlist school.

According to US News:
At EVMS it takes 342 acceptances to fill last years class of 146. (2.34)
Compared to UVA which took 411 acceptances to fill last years class of 156(2.63)
and VCU 423 acceptances for 200. (2.115)

If it was a 'waitlist' school the acceptances would be much higher compared to the class size.

NYMC: 667 acceptances for 194.(3.43)

Alright, moot point, assuming your stats are correct. I'm sorry for the misinformation. That's how my undergrad advertised it as.

Didn't EVMS offer about 500 waitlist spots this year?? That's a lot comparing to 342 acceptances in the past.
 
EVMS has been accepting people off the WL but it's been all of their graduates from the med masters program. They've accepted almost 30 ppl. not sure how many are OOS vs IS. they've probably filled their class and will only accept 2-3 more people max.

Dude that sucks...

Did you call the admissions today?
 
Is this cycle outta the norm? Judging from a waitlist that size you'd imagine there were usually a lot of movements on the WL in the past years.

Exactly. There are plenty of acceptances last year at this time. Looks totally different this year. No one is reporting acceptance recently
 
I think you guys should give up and get ready (if you haven't) to re-apply this cycle. It sucks but chances are the waitlist isn't going to move much this year. Got my hopes up for nothing.

Almost done with editing my PS...hopefully I can get some eyes on it this week.
 
Really thankful for the AMCAS delay...my guns were not yet loaded. 🙂

Yes. the last part about them accepting only 2-3 more ppl is my own speculation.

It's his/her own speculation so I think it's safe to relax a little. I'd guess that it would extremely rare for them to accept only 2-3 more people when most of their class comes from the waitlist. No one knows what is really going on except the admissions committee.

The director of admissions was on vacation last week and just came back today. That's most likely why there hasn't been any movement recently.
 
^Agreed.

Was on the top 1/3 of the IS waitlist, and slowly continuing to lose hope. Is there even a chance anymore?
 
Is it time to throw in the towel? I've been accepted on an osteopathic school and have been putting off looking for an apt and roommate. I'm thinking it's time to be realistic. The waitlists for WVU, VCU, and EVMS have been slow.

I would start looking for the apt, but not give up hope yet. Once July rolls around, then its safe to call it quits in all likelihood.
 
Just withdrew. Hope it helps everyone! Good luck to you all!
 
I don't mean to be a Debbie downer but I wouldn't expect much more wait list movement. I would think only 2-3 more kids would be pulled.

Think it might have anything to do with that merger deal between EVMS and W&M?
 
I don't think the WL movement has anything to do with that proposed merger
 
Is there anyone who was told to be on a good spot within the top tier still waiting for acceptance?
