OOS and got the waitlist email.... a little confused because it mentions match, and I didn't participate in match...

Same here

Same here

Are you going to call admissions and ask about the confusing email/ clarify that you are out of state?

Yea, I will call them and let you know.

 

[dlqo0oplb]

Basically, they said its a general email that was sent out and that we are on the wait list as well. They will let you know if a spot opens up. :'(

🙁 really hope there is some movement. I think they tend to be cautious with OOS acceptances...thanks for calling though!

No problem. Was curious about that email myself. Glad they cleared it up for us.

I just submitted my SOPHAS application for MD/MPH...has anyone else submitted theirs? How long until you hear anything? Also I am in the sticky situation of being waitlisted but the md/mph app is due Mar 1st so I have to submit without an acceptance, do any current med students have any insight on this predicament?

EDIT: I have spoken to someone in the UTSPH admissions office and they assured me you can apply without an acceptance but I'd still like any insight on how it might or might not be affected by my waitlisted status.

I will be submitting mine soon, so also interested to see if anyone replies...

Was accepted to UTHSCSA in home town. I will most likely withdraw.

 

[IQ2US]

I'm assuming the out of state waitlist is separate from the in-state one. Does anyone know for sure?

Congrats! Did you get into Houston through match?

 

[ecolik-12]

any WL movement?

 

[TexasPro]

any WL movement?

nope, probably it is too early for anyone to drop. Anyone having great ideas for athe GAP year?

Prematch!

 

[dlqo0oplb]

Any news for the wait-listed?

 

[ecolik-12]

No love from UTH... YET (fingers crossed)

 

[estanton]

There will probably be more movement as Baylor makes acceptances but I wouldn't expect much for a while!

 

[goneuro]

When is Baylor done sending out acceptances?

 

[MDhopeful2224]

Any waitlist movement? A few people posted that they got in around this time last year....

I haven't heard anything. Just trying to stay patient for the next month or two. Does anyone know if there are separate OOS and IS waitlists?

 

[hustler13]

Got in yesterday off the waitlist!!

 

[IQ2US]

Got in yesterday off the waitlist!!

Congrats. IS or OOS?

 

[dlqo0oplb]

Congrats. IS or OOS?

IS prob

 

[KKT1992]

Got in yesterday off the waitlist!!

Congrats! Do they email or call for that?

 

[randythabeast]

there is hope for us now lol

 

[KKT1992]

The good news is it seems a lot of Baylor acceptances went out today so maybe the waitlist will start having more movement. I feel like some might be holding on to both acceptances until they know more about finances though

 

[ecolik-12]

True. When will they know about finances?

 

[KKT1992]

True. When will they know about finances?

Honestly I have no clue sorry! I'm guessing mid-April though? So they'll be able to make an informed decision on which school to chose when they can no longer hold multiple acceptances?

 

[dlqo0oplb]

Any OOS got love from uth?

 

[MDhopeful2224]

Not yet...It's weird because by this time last year there were a few OOS acceptances off the waitlist. Hopefully we will see some movement soon!

 

[goneuro]

I interviewed as an OOS applicant back in October and my interviewers both said I would accepted for sure , but I am stuck on the wait list! So who knows what they are doing with us.

 

[MDhopeful2224]

any recent waitlist movement? :/

 

[dlqo0oplb]

Not here....been deadly silent

 

[ecolik-12]

very silent here as well. Attended the reapplicant workshop where students basically said that about 20% of the class get off the waitlist... but usually happens during May.

Does anyone have a guess at how many are on the wait-list though?

 

[ecolik-12]

My understanding is that everyone who has interviewed but not offered a spot. So basically like 700...

 

[MDhopeful2224]

are there separate waitlists for in state and out of state?

 

[BananaBhai]

612 max...assuming no one dropped....also have to take into account those who interviewed but matched into a school they ranked higher.

 

[KKT1992]

I feel like there probably is since they have a specific percent of students they need to be IS

 

[lobsterbisque]

I called a few weeks ago and asked them about this. They didn't give an outright yes, but said that for an OOS applicant to get accepted off of the waitlist, an OOS accepted student has to withdraw. I interpret that to mean the lists are essentially separate.

 

[ecolik-12]

just got off the waitlist. 31 MCAT, 3.7 GPA interviewed december 5th.

 

[TexasDawg]

Just got in off the waitlist as well. Interviewed on January 7th.

[Earl Simmons]

Withdrew. Hope my spot goes to one of you deserving people!

 

[pontelones]

To withdraw, do we simply write an email to the admissions office?

This is what my portal says "If you plan to decline the offer now or at any time please email us at [email protected] letting us know you would like to decline this offer. For questions or concerns please contact our office at 713-500-5116."

 

[bizze]

[MDhopeful2224]

Was your friend in state or out of state?
