How much longer is there typically movement? I'm tired of being in limbo, I just want to know that I didn't make it already.
The process seems to be moving faster this year than last. I know it is hard to wait, especially since you can't plan what to do next. Best of luck. I hope you get in.
I'm with you, I could handle rejection a lot easier than the limbo. I have to think at this point they must have a pretty full class, and from here on out there will only be movement if accepted students get in off the wait list at other schools.
My status did not change so I called the office of admissions and they confirmed I was on the waitlist. I also tried to press for some extra information-the person I spoke to said the dean of admissions had been out of the office for a couple weeks so he didn't know much. He did tell me that he should know more about numbers and movement next week. I'll call back then and keep you all posted on anything I find out! Don't lose hope yet. Let's enjoy the time we have before the next cycle opens up!

Any word on movement? Because there are three waitlists, do we think the top will be cleared?
Per past trends it should be. But the trend doesn't have to hold this year. I think from here on offers will be sporadic, so I wouldn't wait for the phone call every weekday like you may have been in the past. Remember the email said they can make offers all the way up to August 21.

Just adding another voice... IS male, WL on the 'high priority' list.
...and not a peep since responding to that email!

+1. I don't understand the process well enough to understand why an accepted student would give up a spot at this point in time. Its also less than two months till start of Orientation week. I wish somebody could provide some insight into how the waitlist moves over these last few months. Since those in the mid priority list were told that some of them will probably get in, I was thinking the high priority list would move a bit faster, and maybe it is but not reported on SDN 🙂. It's wait and see for now.Just adding another voice... IS male, WL on the 'high priority' list.

Well it's a cascade effect. Someone holding a seat at CU gets off the wait list at their dream school then they will drop CU. That's the majority of movement at this point. People who are waitlisted elsewhere getting pulled off and dropping CU. So it's probably a very gradual process

Well I have decided to withdraw and move on to the next phase of my life. Would have loved a chance at cu but my family and I are looking forward to an east coast adventure!
Good luck to those without other options, I hope I open up a spot for someone!

Has anyone that was accepted off the waitlist seen or heard anything from financial aid yet or been able to set up a student account?

Yes. I was accepted 4/30 and Financial Aid info was just available last Friday. They will send you an email once it is available.
Activating student account was a hassle. If you can send me a private message I will be happy to help you with it (just as a courtesy to those who are still waiting, I don't want to post lengthy public message here)

Hey all, long time lurker on this. For reference, IS applicant on high priority waitlist. I just called the office, and this is what they told me. Apparently Dr. Zehnder has been in clinicals for the month, so hasn't spent much time in the admissions office, therefore there hasn't been a lot of waitlist movement. The guy I talked to said what he has heard is that late June/early July is when more people start dropping out, so hopefully there might be more movement then. It sucks that it's more waiting, but I guess here's hoping for the best. Just wanted to let you all know what I found out since I know how annoying this can be.

I wonder if that's enough reason for things seeming really slow... Optimistic side says yes. But, I can't imagine that decisions couldn't be made without Dr.Z's direct presence.
I'm okay with getting in then (who am I kidding, I would be ecstatic), but it would be awesome to be accepted before resubmit my application for the next cycle and pay all of that money again. I can't wait much longer on the resubmit though.

I wouldn't wait too long, if I were you. Better safe than sorry, and no reason to hurt your chances coming on the next cycle.
I just resubbed at the start of the week (~$1100) and I'm already anxious about being too late (I was one of those kids that had to be in on the first day, last year.) Pull the trigger! My attitude is that it's all drops in the bucket. Another 1K is nothing compared to even the textbooks, right?

Yup, good advise from @TheOtterpop . You really should submit ASAP. To price tag seems high in the short run but if you plan on dropping 200k ish in med school loans once you get in, what's another 1k to reapply. Charge it on your credit card it you have to. Good luck!

At least submit the app with only one school so you can get in the verification line.

YEP! I resubmitted with just one school to at least get verified- Submitted June 2nd and I'm already verified. Now I can add schools but I am hesitant to add schools while I'm waiting on CU- wasn't expecting to get verified so quickly. I am getting ready to pull the trigger though, at least on my top choice schools.
I knew several wait listed IS folks last year who all heard in July. Seems to me July is a big movement month, so hopefully we will all get good news by then!

Rejected off mid-tier waitlist. Now I can focus full force on next year!
Sorry to hear that also, but at least you know where you stand and, like you said, can focus on next year. Here's to kicking butt in this next application cycle!
I wonder what made them send our rejections to mid-tier waitlist? Wonder if it means there has not been as much movement as was originally anticipated?

Yeah I wonder if it was just me.. or if other people got rejected too. You would think that the low tier would be before the mid tier...

I don't think anybody 'fessed up to being on low tier (maybe one a while back?) And, none would probably want to admit they were rejected as well... Some response bias, I imagine.

Mid tier, rejected as well the other day....
Not yet. Hoping to hear something in the next couple weeks? Fingers crossed
I believe last year one person reported getting in on the 14th and another on the 26th. So there is still hope. But it's hard to plan anything without a decision.

I can't imagine how hard it is for people who might have to move. I live in Denver and initially I was like "psh, no big deal, I'll just show up whenever they tell me to if I get in"... And now I'm worrying about giving notice at my job (I'm a career changer) and wanting to mentally prepare and maybe *gasp* have a little break between quitting work and starting school... Man, it'd be really nice to know now one way or the other. I guess I'll cope by working on all those secondaries. This is not fun.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I live about 2 miles away from the school, so even if I get in on August 21st, it won't be a problem. But I can't enjoy the summer because I got in, but I can't get a job because most of the ones I've found require a year commitment and I can't do that either.

I called the admissions office today to get an update. They said they are dropping half the wait list and they only have 4 slots to fill at this time. We should get an email- or maybe just the dropped folks will get an email- in the next couple days. Not as much movement as usual it seems. Fingers crossed for us all, but sounds like half of us are going to be disappointed and a few of us will be jumping for joy.
I'll just be over here working on secondaries for next year

So you are saying there are four spots left? 😉 At this point it will be nice to know. Good luck everyone!I called the admissions office today to get an update.

Just that they have 4 open spots to fill at the moment. And then whatever movement happens over the next month I suppose. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just hope they send out the notices soon so we can plan accordingly. By end of week will be great. Still hoping for the best.

IS high priority rejection. Applied late, career changer. Pretty bummed but also oddly relieved. Throwing myself at those secondaries and immediately picked up extra shifts to keep banking some cash to pay for school... eventually. Hope there are some people getting good news to offset my disappointment. Keep on, y'all.
