Last year the wait list was only divided into two thirds: high alternate and low alternate.
Middle third and OOS. I assume there are two WL (IS and OOS)? Last year reads like WL movement didnt make it out of the top third... I guess I'll hold out some hope but "hurray wait till Aug to get a final answer, thats only another 4 months..."
Still only 75 members of the Class of 2019 facebook page. That bodes well for those of you still in limbo. Best of luck!
Sorry to hear that M12B, from what I can see in your posting history it looks like you have an acceptance to a great school anyways! Good luck going forward!Bummer. Just got an email about 45 minutes ago, I'm waitlisted in the lower third. "Your chance of receiving an offer of acceptance is not strong in this admission cycle."
Congrats to those of you in a good position, I hope there is a lot of movement this year! 🙂
Good luck to those of you still waiting to hear back!![]()
Sorry to hear that and I wish you the best of luck. It almost seems as if CU wants to see replicants who are determined (most students I have met are reapplicants), so keep at it!!Bummer.

Thank you, I was fortunate to get an early acceptance as well, but having wanted to go to CU since childhood I am just going to keep waiting, hoping, praying for a lot of movement this year. That said I feel pretty blessed to have gotten this far.Thank you! I am very fortunate to have an acceptance at a school I love, which is why I'll be withdrawing from the WL. Best of luck to you as well!

Hi all!
Just got wait listed in the top third. I am wondering if everyone that got this email also mentioned top priority category? Is that the same as being in the top 1/3?
I really appreciate this thread, and I'm hoping to see you all in August!
"On a yearly basis we generally make from 270 to 300 offers to fill the 184 positions before classes begin in August. Many of the outstanding students accepted to our medical school receive multiple offers, thus giving them a number of schools to choose. In prior years, we have made offers from the middle one-third of our list, although our ability to predict whether this might be possible does not occur until much later in the admissions cycle."Out of curiosity if the top one-third emails said "there is a high probability that you will receive an offer" and the lower one-third said "Your chance of receiving an offer of acceptance is not strong in this admission cycle" what did the middle one-third emails say?

Official rejection email received. Congrats to everyone that made it! I hope to see you in the coming years.
+3 Rejection email... great, I have to reapply this year. It's not like I applied to 24 school with a 34 MCAT and 3.96 GPA, and expected at least one school would accept me... Oh wait, nevermind, that's my story.+2
Shoot. Would've really loved to go to CU. Good luck all.

Welcome to medical school admissions my friend. I'm sorry that this happened to you... really. It's absolutely heartbreaking to be wronged in that sort of way. And you were wronged, no doubt about that.
As you know, the process isn't fair nor is it equal. Heck I don't think it has it ever been. What it does do in some sort of twisted way is sort out some exceptional candidates and test them to see if they really want it badly enough, if they have got what it takes.
My advice, whether you want it or not, is to keep your nose to the grind stone and don't dare give up. You are obviously too bright of a star and too hard of a worker for that. I promise that if you stick with it, in the end you will make it.
That being said, be pissed off for a week or two. Be pissed off that there are people with 25 MCATs and 3.2 GPA's that were admitted. That your hard work hasn't yet come to fruition. It is perfectly reasonable to feel that way (I sure as hell did when this sort of thing happened to me). Eventually, when you start to heal and the anger gives way to solace, go back and work on becoming the best doctor you can be. Email med schools ask for advisement. Apply again with renewed calirity, vision, and vigor.
Take full advantage of your gap year to become the best physician you can be even before starting school. Study review books for step 1 and step 2. Read Harrison's internal med. Shadow a cardiologist. Go see surgery with a plastic surgeon and learn how to sew. Read a pathology book. Learn how to properly treat a new diagnoses of type 2 diabetes.
All that you do now and the attitude that you take these few weeks after your first time applying will directly impact your future patients and their wellbeing, which at the end of the day is what this whole doctor this is actually about.
So best of luck my friend. I'll be sure to look for you on the other side.
I want to start an online study group if anyone is interested. I figure we can all skype or something once or twice a week and just help each other out. If your interested email me at [email protected]
I had nowhere near that and was accepted the first date.I have heard that in years past CU had a sort of unspoken 500+ clinical hours threshold. Has that borne out this year, or have things changed with the new admissions folks?

I think it's an old "rule" that they don't use anymore. But I do think a lack of clinical experience is bad, and probably the reason why I am on the waitlist myselfI had nowhere near that and was accepted the first date.

Just received deficiencies email. Should we send transcripts directly to the school or do we need to go through AMCAS?
By the end of this year about 300-350.I am interested in surveying how many clinical hours those who have been accepted had at the time of their application, if you care to post!

Last year it appears to have started in May, but then the waitlist doesn't appear to have been finalized till April. I would guess major movement after April 30th.Does anyone know when WL movement is predicted to start?
Guessing shortly after the April 30th deadline, but does anyone have more details?
I believe that would be because last year the last day you were allowed to hold multiple acceptances was May 15th but now it is April 30th?Last year it appears to have started in May, but then the waitlist doesn't appear to have been finalized till April.

I have been hearing April 30th is the last day to hold on to multiple acceptances. But then I do recall reading that applicants have 2 weeks after that to respond but I think it's if you receive your acceptance on April 30th. But April 30th seems to be the date per AAMC.I believe that would be because last year the last day you were allowed to hold multiple acceptances was May 15th but now it is April 30th?
I was just going by this "If you receive an offer of acceptance from more than one school or program, choose the school at which you will enroll by April 30. Then, promptly withdraw your application, by written correspondence, from all other schools or programs that have offered you an acceptance." from the AMCAS Traffic Rules for Applicants https://www.aamc.org/students/apply...0672/trafficrulesforapplicants-2015amcas.htmlI have been hearing April 30th is the last day to hold on to multiple acceptances. But then I do recall reading that applicants have 2 weeks after that to notify schools if they are withdrawing. So I am a bit confused.
I think one piece of information that people with multiple acceptances will base their decision on is financial aid, given the high cost of attendance at CU. I am not sure when accepted applicants will be given their financial aid awards.
