According to last years thread bulk movement happened around May 15th and slowed down after that
 
Yeah but I believe last year that the drop date was around may 15th... this year was may 1st. Am I wrong here?

Sorry, I mean April 30th.

So we are all screwed!!!

Just kidding, we will be fine. There is always next year. Even if I hate the application process with a burning passion.
 
I called Admissions yesterday and was told that their class has been entirely filled. Apparently there is still a chance for waitlist movement up until the first day of classes, but was told that the majority of waitlist movement happened on April 30th.

I guess the only hope now is someone getting off the waitlist at another school and relinquishing their spot.

Well that's unfortunate
 
Oh well, I'm happy at my other institution - so I guess that's good bye for me. You were a good experience EVMS - thanks for the memories.

I still wouldn't give up hope. Every year is different but I know this school has traditionally had movement through June.
 
Just called again today - still on the WL. Asked whether there's still acceptances being sent out or if the class is pretty much full.

They said that there was "SOME" (stressed) acceptances sent out this week, and that they expect movement to happen throughout the summer up until the week before matriculation. They definitely expect more cyclic movement as people cycle around med schools.

FIRST ACCEPTANCE JUST NOW!!!!!!!! WOOO!
So happy I shed my first tear in over a decade.

I applied for a program to go and teach in Spain for 8 months for a potential upcoming gap year. I'm reading up on EVMS's policy on postponing matriculation now, but does anyone have any insight on this process? Would EVMS allow me to apply for this at this point?
