2014-2015 Waitlist Support Group
Started by sum_dood
Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
I must say that right now the most anyone is holding is two.
Most have reduced to one.
Are you going to post a list of all the schools that moved that day or all the schools that started moving on that day.

I have a friend who was accepted off the BU waitlist yesterday!
Wow, slow day.
All I see is Miami.
All I see is Miami.

@gyngyn, thanks for keeping us informed, really nice of you to take time out of your already busy day.
wanted to quickly ask-
by chance do you have overlap with VCU?
@peanuts8
VCU seems to have had pretty good waitlist movement in the past two weeks based on the activity in the thread!

Yes, I did see that original announcment by gyngyn yesterday. I was more interested if gyngyn had overlap with VCU bc in an earlier post it sounded like gyngyn didn't have much overlap w/ EVMS. Thought maybe there might not be overlap w/ VCU as well.
Possible, but not likely. Per SDN thread, there have been 13 WL acceptances since 4/1 (9 OOS, 4 IS). I am guessing you are in-state so I hope the winds of good fortune blow your way soon!
OOS here! From the opposite side of the country and for some reason I got lucky in Virginia this cycle. Thx for + wishes

Rarely.
The VCU OOS WL tends to have much more movement than IS. Hoping it works out for you!!
Thanks, @gyngyn! There are no new posts in the Miami thread today about getting off the waitlist, so it's nice to know they're still happening. I really hope I'm next!
first acceptance off the NYU waitlist today!!! cant believe it and so grateful
For your sake and mine... if you get off Miami, maybe then I'll get off EVMS lmao
Bro, I already withdrew from EVMS lololol. Matriculating at Mizzou, holding out for Miami is the game plan now.
After sitting on 4 waitlists for months, I was accepted off a WL about a week ago. Today I was poached by another school. Lo and behold, within one hour of said poaching my first acceptance offered a 20k/year scholarship. What a strange game we are playing.
woooo yeah! that's huge, congrats!
is that sarcasm?
lololol yes, yes I am.
It was USF Morsani, and I'm quite excited about it. Very close to family and Tampa is awesome.
you just never can tell with him, can you?
-------------
I think I want to go to the poacher school, how do I go about politely asking if they might match the FA from my other offer?
ask it like you're a little kid asking for candy. Clear request, full on puppy eyes, can't lose.
JK just call them and ask
Call them. Tell them that you're incredibly interested in their school, but this schools financial aid package is making it difficult for you to say yes to them. Ask if there's anything else they can do to help or if there are any scholarships etc that you might qualify for.

No. I actually hate @FindMeOnTheLinks , which is why I convinced him to come out to drinks with me when we hung out at Jeff.
As a side note: Dude that was a hilarious night. I still can't believe those girls shared their food with us. I had a good laugh about that right now just thinking about it.
Still waiting for things to start rolling at my 4 wait lists, this is brutal.
Same here 3 WL, 2 HFS, and 1 no communication at all! I'm at work right now in the ER and that's not even enough of a distraction.
Hahahahaha yes, that was the most fun I've had on a trip for an interview. Cheers to St. Patrick's Day in Philly!
Don't do this!
It's the admissions equivalent of stalking.
I sent a letter of intent to my waitlisted school back in February, is there any use reminding them again (just a quick paragraph about the school being first choice) or would that also be the equivalent of stalking?
I think you know.
It's still not as bad as emailing an interviewer, though.
You're a great wingman. Didn't get the girl, but I got hella wings.
Worth it!
Hope Jeff sends you some love too!
Anyone know if Florida State has had any movement? Their classes start in less than 3 weeks.

I'm well aware. I'm not sure it would have worked logistically given that I was crashing in my little sister's dorm lol!
Lmaooo so true.
Okay, let's stop polluting this well-intentioned thread with our shenanigans.

That's a gloomy thought.
Seems unlikely that the number of multiply-accepteds would drastically change this year, though.
Accepted off Einstein HPWL just now!!
Hi everyone I'm new to the group!!
Officially nervous after getting 5 II: 4 MD waitlists & hearing back next week from the only DO school I applied (it's a great DO program, I'll be happy to get an acceptance there, however it isn't my top choice)
Stats:
GPA 3.7 ; MCAT: 27 - I thought my extracurriculars would make up for the low mcat (I own a medical business, did research, founded a pre health student org, have 2 BA's (Chemistry & non-science degree), etc. I did however, applied late (oct 2014).
Wishing everyone nothing but success and good news from the schools you're currently WL at, and glad to join the group & support each other during this nerve-wreaking cycle moment. <3

How would you interpret yet another non-binding contract from a desperate applicant???
Hi guys,
I'm on the waitlist at three schools, none of which seem to have much movement and probably wont by the end of this cycle. I'm already thinking about the reapplication process, there's a lot of things I want to change on my application. As a re applicant, is it necessary to get your application in the day that the AMCAS opens? Basically, when should I get everything prepared by?
